Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection laws. When these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in these countries, no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. As such, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (for example, intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing performed prior to your revocation of consent remains unaffected.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons specific to your individual circumstances. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR).
Your personal data will be processed in order to operate direct advertising. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to file complaints with the regulatory authorities
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the persons concerned shall have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or place of presumed infringement. Your right to appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data which we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another data controller, this will only occur if it is technically feasible.
Information, deletion, and correction
As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided with information free of charge at any time about your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient, and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time about this and any other questions you may have on the subject of personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you lodge an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been ascertained whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data – apart from being stored – may be processed only with your consent, or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or on the grounds of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL and TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection in your browser's address line when it changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock icon is displayed in your browser's address bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. Website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional material, for example spam emails.

Cookies
Our websites use cookies. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies perform various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g., for the shopping basket function) or to enhance the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the fault-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technology has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) of the Telecommunication Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG); consent is revocable at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can accept or reject cookies on an individual basis, to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or always reject them, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser.

We do not pass on these data without your consent.
This data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent is revocable at any time.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage is no longer applicable (e.g., after processing your request).

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The Google Tag Manager is a tool that we can use to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not save any cookies, and does not carry out any independent analyses. It serves only the administration and display of the tools integrated through it. However, the Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which can also be transmitted to Google's parent company in the United States.
Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and easy integration and management of various tools on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) of the Telecommunication Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the Telecommunication Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). Consent can be revoked at any time.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. Here the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is summarised in a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.
Furthermore, Google Analytics allows us to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Furthermore, Google Analytics uses various modelling approaches to complement the data sets it collects and employs machine learning technologies in its data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the user to be recognised for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here:

IP anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation feature on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases, IP addresses are transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, compile reports regarding website activity, and provide other services to the website operator related to website and internet usage. The IP address provided by your browser in the framework of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google.
Browser plugin
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
For more information about how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google's Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
Demographic features of Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics to be able to show website visitors appropriate advertisements within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account, or you can generally forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection."
Job processing
We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites if the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed on the basis of the the user data available at Google (such as for example location data and interests) (target group targeting). As a website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by carrying out an analysis of which search terms have led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements have resulted in the corresponding clicks.
The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here:

This website uses Google conversion tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With the help of Google conversion tracking, we and Google can recognise whether the user has carried out certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly often. This information is used to generate conversion statistics. We find out the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.
The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
You can find more information on Google conversion tracking in Google's privacy policy:

6. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information which allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive this newsletter. Additional data is not collected or only collected on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers to process the newsletter. They are described in the following section.
Brevo (previously Sendinblue)
This website uses Brevo (previously Sendinblue) to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Strasse 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.
Brevo is a service which organises and analyses the distribution of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored on Brevos' servers in Germany.
Data analysis through Brevo
We use Brevo to analyse our newsletter campaigns. This is how we
can see, for example, whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links have been clicked on most often.
In addition, we can see whether certain previously defined actions have been carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). This enables us to see, for example, whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.
Brevo also allows us to subdivide ("cluster") the newsletter recipients according to different categories. For example, newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to gender, personal preference (e.g. vegetarian or non-vegetarian), or customer relationship (e.g. existing or potential customer). This allows us to adapt the newsletters to the respective target groups.
If you do not want any analysis performed by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link to do this in every newsletter we send.
For detailed information on the functions of Brevo, please see the following link: https://www.brevo.com/en/newsletter-software/.
Legal basis
Data processing takes place on the basis of your consent given per Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. The legality of any data processing that has already been carried out remains unaffected.
Storage period
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data we have stored for other purposes shall remain unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be saved in a blacklist either with us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) of GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.
For more details, please refer to Brevos' privacy policy at: https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/.
Job processing
We have concluded a contract on order processing (AVV) for the use of the above service.

Handling applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for positions with us (e.g., by email, post or via the online application form).

We ensure that the collection, processing, and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data is treated with strict confidentiality.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your related personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on whether or not to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Article 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) in accordance with German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have provided consent – Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject an offer of a position or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have transmitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted, and the physical application documents destroyed. In particular, data is stored for evidence purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If the data will be foreseeably required after the six-month period has expired (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place if the purpose of further storage is no longer applicable.
A longer storage period may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or if there are legal retention requirements which prevent deletion.
Admission to the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our applicant pool. In case of admission, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.
Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). The submission agreement is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure. Data subjects can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for storage.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
