We are very pleased that you are interested in our organization.
The protection of your Personal Data is particularly important to our management. As a rule, you can use our websites without disclosing any Personal Data to us. However, if you wish to use more specific services via our websites, including our other websites, applications and social media pages, we may have to process your Personal Data. If we wish to process data about you and we cannot rely on any other legal basis, we will always ask you for your Consent first (e.g. via a cookie banner).
We always comply with applicable data protection laws when handling your Personal Data (such as name, address, email or telephone number). With this Privacy Policy, we inform you about which data we process. This Privacy Policy also explains to you what rights you have as a Data Subject.
We have taken various technical and organizational measures to protect your data on our websites in the best possible way. Nevertheless, there are always risks on the internet and complete protection is not possible. For this reason, you can also transmit your Personal Data to us by other means, for example by telephone, if you prefer.
This Privacy Policy is not only intended to fulfill the obligations under GDPR and to comply with the law of the Member States of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). This Privacy Policy is also intended to comply with legislation such as UK data protection laws (UK-GDPR), Swiss Federal Data Protection Act and Swiss Data Protection Ordinance (DSG, DSV), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (DPDPA), Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA), Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA), Iowa Act Relating to Consumer Data Protection (ICDPA), Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA), Nebraska Data Privacy Act (NDPA), New Hampshire Consumer Data Privacy Law (SB255), New Jersey Data Privacy Law (SB332), South Carolina Consumer Privacy Bill (House Bill 4696) and other global data protection regulations and shall be interpreted accordingly. The following Privacy Policy shall be interpreted for each country, state or federal state in such a way that the terms and legal bases used correspond to the terms and legal bases used in the respective state or federal state.
For reasons of better readability, the simultaneous use of the language forms male, female, diverse and other gender identities (m/f/d/other) is avoided on our websites, in publications, in communication and in our Privacy Policy. All formulations used apply equally to all genders.

You can find our data protection terms and conditions here.
In our Privacy Policy, we use special terms from various data protection laws. We want our statement to be easy to understand and therefore explain these terms in advance.
The following definitions shall be interpreted or expanded, as appropriate, based on the case law of the General Court of the European Union (EGC), the European Court of Justice (ECJ), the Swiss Federal Supreme Court (SFSC), the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (UKSC) or on national data protection laws or national case law of a state or federal state, including but not limited to California, including case law, also under common law, if this is necessary for the application of the law in individual cases.
We use the following terms, among others, in this Privacy Policy:
a) Personal Data
Personal Data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person, or who must be regarded as such under national data protection legislation or national jurisdiction of a state or federal state, including under common law.
b) Data Subject
Data Subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose Personal Data is processed by the Controller, a Processor, an international organization or another data recipient, and persons who must be regarded as such under national data protection laws or national jurisdiction of a state or federal state, including case law, also under common law.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on Personal Data or on sets of Personal Data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of Processing is the marking of stored Personal Data with the aim of limiting their Processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated Processing of Personal Data consisting of the use of Personal Data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the Processing of Personal Data in such a manner that the Personal Data can no longer be attributed to a specific Data Subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the Personal Data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller
The Controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the Processing of Personal Data. Where the purposes and means of such Processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the Controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
A Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes Personal Data on behalf of the Controller.
i) Recipient
A Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the Personal Data are disclosed, whether a Third Party or not. However, public authorities which may receive Personal Data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third Party
A Third Party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the Data Subject, Controller, Processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the Controller or Processor, are authorised to process Personal Data.
k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the Data Subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the Processing of Personal Data relating to him or her.
The Controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and the European Economic Area, British data protection laws, Swiss data protection laws (DSG, DSV), Californian data protection law (CCPA/CPRA), Chinese data protection law (PIPL), as well as international laws and provisions with a data protection nature is:

Our websites collect a range of general data and information each time the websites are accessed by a Data Subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the log files of the respective server. Among other things, the (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our websites (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our websites, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems can be recorded.
When using this general data and information, we generally do not draw any conclusions about the Data Subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our websites, (2) optimize the content of our websites and the advertising for them, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our websites and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our organisation to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the Personal Data processed by us. The data of the server log files are stored separately from all Personal Data provided by a Data Subject.
The purpose of processing is to avert danger and ensure IT security, as well as the aforementioned purposes. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the protection of our information technology systems. The log files are deleted after the stated purposes have been achieved.
Our website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our organisation as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address) and possibly a telephone number. If a Data Subject contacts us by email, via a contact form, via an input form or in any other way, the Personal Data transmitted by the Data Subject will be stored automatically. This Personal Data transmitted to us on a voluntary basis by a Data Subject is processed for the purposes of usage or contacting the Data Subject.
We obtain your Consent for the transmission, storage and Processing of your contact data and inquiries and for contacting you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Art. 49 (1) (1) (a) GDPR as follows:
We process and store Personal Data for the period required to achieve the purpose of processing or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which we are subject, or if a legal basis for the Processing exists.
If the purpose of processing no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, or if the legal basis for the Processing no longer applies, the Personal Data will be routinely restricted or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
a) Right to confirmation
Each Data Subject has the right to obtain from the Controller confirmation as to whether or not Personal Data concerning him or her is being processed.
If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may contact us at any time.
b) Right to information
Each Data Subject has the right to obtain from the Controller free information about the Personal Data stored about him/her and a copy of this data at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the Data Subject access to the following information:
Furthermore, the Data Subject has a right to information as to whether Personal Data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the Data Subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may contact us at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Each Data Subject has the right to demand the immediate correction of incorrect Personal Data concerning them. Furthermore, the Data Subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete Personal Data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the Processing.
If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may contact us at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Each Data Subject has the right, to obtain from the Controller the erasure of Personal Data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the Controller shall have the obligation to erase Personal Data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the Processing is not necessary:
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a Data Subject wishes to request the erasure of Personal Data stored by us, he or she may contact us at any time.
If we have made the Personal Data public and if our organisation is obliged to delete the Personal Data in accordance with Art. 17 (1) GDPR, we shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other data Controllers who process the published Personal Data that the Data Subject has requested the deletion of all links to this Personal Data or of copies or replications of this Personal Data from these other data Controllers, insofar as the Processing is not necessary.
e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Each Data Subject has the right to obtain from the Controller Restriction of Processing where one of the following applies:
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a Data Subject wishes to request the restriction of the Processing of Personal Data stored by us, he or she may contact us at any time.
f) Right to data portability
Each Data Subject has the right to receive the Personal Data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a Controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another Controller without hindrance from the Controller to which the Personal Data have been provided, where Processing is based on Consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and the Processing is carried out by automated means, unless the Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the Data Subject has the right to have the Personal Data transmitted directly from one Controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may contact us at any time.
g) Right to object
Each Data Subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to Processing of Personal Data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to Profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the Personal Data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the Processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the Data Subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If we process Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, the Data Subject shall have the right to object at any time to Processing of Personal Data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to Profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the Data Subject objects to us to the Processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the Personal Data for these purposes.
In addition, the Data Subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to Processing of Personal Data concerning him or her by us for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may contact us at any time. The Data Subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated decisions in individual cases including Profiling
Each Data Subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated Processing, including Profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the Data Subject and the Controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the Controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the Data Subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the Data Subject's explicit Consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the Data Subject and a data Controller, or (2) it is based on the Data Subject's explicit Consent, we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the Data Subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the Controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may contact us at any time.
i) Right to withdraw Consent under data protection law
Each Data Subject has the right to withdraw Consent to the Processing of Personal Data at any time.
If a Data Subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may contact us at any time.
The general purpose of processing of Personal Data is the handling of all activities relating to the Controller, customers, interested parties, business partners or other contractual or pre-contractual relationships between the aforementioned groups (in the broadest sense) or legal obligations of the Controller. This general purpose applies if no more specific purposes for specific Processing are specified.
The categories of Personal Data that we process are customer data, prospective customer data, employee data (including applicant data) and supplier data. The categories of recipients of Personal Data are public bodies, external bodies, internal processing, intragroup processing and other bodies.
A list of our Processors and data recipients in third countries and, if applicable, international organizations is either published on our website or can be requested from us free of charge.
Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for Processing operations for which we obtain Consent for a specific Processing purpose. If the Processing of Personal Data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the Data Subject is party, as is the case, for example, when Processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or consideration, Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to such Processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If we are subject to a legal obligation which requires the Processing of Personal Data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
In rare cases, it may be necessary to process Personal Data to protect the vital interests of the Data Subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our organisation and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other Third Party. The Processing would then be based on Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR.
If the Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Controller, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR.
Ultimately, Processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for Processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our organisation or by a Third Party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject which require protection of Personal Data. We are permitted to carry out such Processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed, for example, if the Data Subject is a customer of the Controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
If the Processing of Personal Data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and no more specific legitimate interests are stated, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of our staff and our shareholders.
We may send you direct advertising about our own goods or services that are similar to the goods or services you have requested, commissioned or purchased. You may object to direct advertising at any time (e.g. by email). You will not incur any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. The Processing of Personal Data for direct marketing purposes is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is direct marketing.
The criterion for the duration of the storage of Personal Data is the respective statutory retention period. If there is no statutory retention period, the criterion is the contractual or internal retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract. This applies in particular to all Processing operations for which no more specific criteria have been defined.
We would like to inform you that the provision of Personal Data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual obligations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a Data Subject to provide us with Personal Data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, Data Subjects are obliged to provide us with Personal Data if our organisation concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide Personal Data would mean that the contract with the Data Subject could not be concluded. The Data Subject must contact us before providing Personal Data. We will inform the Data Subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the Personal Data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the Personal Data and what the consequences would be if the Personal Data were not provided.
As a responsible company, we do not normally use automated decision-making or Profiling. If, in exceptional cases, we carry out automated decision-making or Profiling, we will inform the Data Subject either separately or via a sub-item in our Privacy Policy (here on our website). In this case, the following applies:
Automated decision-making, including Profiling, may take place if (1) this is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the Data Subject and us, or (2) this is permissible on the basis of Union or Member State legislation to which we are subject and this legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the Data Subject, or (3) this takes place with the explicit Consent of the Data Subject.
In the cases referred to in Art. 22 (2) (a) and (c) GDPR, we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the Data Subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests. In these cases, you have the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the Controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
Meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such Processing for the Data Subject will be provided in this Privacy Policy where applicable.
According to Art. 46 (1) GDPR, the Controller or Processor may only transfer Personal Data to a third country if the Controller or Processor has provided appropriate safeguards and if enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available to the Data Subjects. Appropriate safeguards can be provided by standard contractual clauses without the need for special approval from a supervisory authority, Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR.
The EU standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards are agreed with all recipients from third countries prior to the first transfer of Personal Data, or the transfers are based on adequacy decisions. Consequently, it is ensured that appropriate safeguards, enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are guaranteed for all Processing of Personal Data. Any Data Subject can obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions from us. In addition, the standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions are available in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Art. 45 (3) GDPR authorizes the European Commission to decide by means of an implementing decision that a non-EU country ensures an adequate level of protection. This means a level of protection for Personal Data that essentially corresponds to the level of protection within the EU. Adequacy decisions mean that Personal Data can flow from the EU (as well as from Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) to a third country without further obstacles. Similar regulations apply to the United Kingdom, Switzerland and some other countries.
In all cases where the European Commission, or a government or competent authority of another country, has decided that a third country ensures an adequate level of protection and/or a valid framework exists (e.g., EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework), all transfers by us to the members of such frameworks (e.g. self-certified entities) are based solely on the membership of that entity in the respective framework or on the respective adequacy decisions. If we or one of our group companies is a member of such a framework, all transfers to us or our group company are based exclusively on the membership of the respective company in this framework. If we or one of our group companies is located in a third country with an adequate level of protection, all transfers to us or our group company are based solely on the respective adequacy decisions.
Any Data Subject can obtain a copy of the frameworks from us. In addition, the frameworks are also available in the Official Journal of the European Union or in the published legal materials or on the websites of data protection supervisory authorities or other authorities or institutions.
As the Controller, we are obliged to inform the Data Subject of the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The right to lodge a complaint is regulated in Art. 77 (1) GDPR. According to this provision, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every Data Subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the Data Subject considers that the Processing of Personal Data relating to him or her infringes the General Data Protection Regulation. The right to lodge a complaint has been restricted by the EU legislator to the effect that it can only be exercised with a single supervisory authority (Recital 141 Sentence 1 GDPR). This provision is intended to avoid duplicate complaints in the same matter by the same Data Subject. If a Data Subject wishes to complain about us, it is therefore requested that only one supervisory authority is contacted.
We collect and process Personal Data of applicants in the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by email or via a web form on our or third-party websites.
For applicant data, the purpose of data processing is to carry out a review of the application in the application process. For this purpose, we process all data provided by you. Based on the data submitted as part of the application, we check whether you will be invited to an interview (part of the selection process). Then, in the case of generally suitable applicants, in particular during the interview, we process certain other Personal Data provided by you that is essential for our selection decision.
The legal basis for data Processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, Art. 9 (2) (b) and (h) GDPR, Art. 88 (1) GDPR and national legislation.
If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted no later than six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the Controller stand in the way of deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the provision of evidence in legal proceedings.
