For this purpose, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the legal notice.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" in your browser's address bar and the padlock icon in the browser bar.

Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of server request

This data will not be merged with other data sources. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.
Data transmission during contract conclusion for the purchase and shipment of goods
Personal data will only be transferred to third parties if necessary for the execution of the contract. Third parties may include, for example, payment service providers or logistics companies. Data will not be transferred beyond this scope unless you have expressly consented to it.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Registration on this website
To use certain features, you can register on our website. The data you provide will be used solely for the purpose of providing the respective offer or service. All required information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.
In case of important changes, such as for technical reasons, we will inform you by email. The email will be sent to the address provided during registration.
The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for withdrawal. The lawfulness of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
We store the data collected during registration for the duration of your registration on our website. Your data will be deleted if you cancel your registration. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via contact form, the data you enter (e.g. name, email address, message) will be processed for the purpose of handling your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions.
Depending on the content of your request, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of pre-contractual measures) or on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time informally by email. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.
To ensure the functionality of the form and to prevent misuse, spam, and illegal content, we also process the IP address and the date and time of transmission. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in guaranteeing IT security and preventing the misuse of our contact form.
Data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so.
The data submitted via the contact form will remain with us until the purpose of processing no longer applies, you request its deletion, or legal retention obligations exist. For data security reasons, technical log data (e.g., IP address) will be deleted no later than 30 days after collection, unless a security incident has occurred.
Email contact
When you contact us via the provided email address, the personal data you transmit with your email will be stored. This data will not be shared with third parties. It will be used solely for processing your inquiry.
Data protection information for the application process
We process your personal data for the purpose of your application for employment, insofar as this is necessary for the decision on whether to establish an employment relationship with us. The legal basis for this is Section 26 Paragraph 1 in conjunction with Paragraph 8 Sentence 2 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
Furthermore, we may process your personal data to the extent necessary to defend against legal claims asserted against us arising from the application process. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Insofar as an employment relationship is established between you and us, we may, in accordance with Section 26 Paragraph 1 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), further process the personal data already received from you for purposes of the employment relationship, if this is necessary for the execution or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfillment of the rights and obligations of the employee representation arising from a law or a collective agreement, a works agreement or service agreement.
We process data related to your application. This may include general personal information (such as name, address, and contact details), information about your professional qualifications and education, details of your professional development, or other information you provide to us in connection with your application. Furthermore, we may process publicly available, work-related information about you, such as a profile on professional social networks.

Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. The cookie allows Google and us to recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across websites of other AdWords customers. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that allows for the personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out. To do this, disable the conversion cookie in your browser's user settings. This will prevent you from being included in the conversion tracking statistics.
