Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We disclose personal data to external parties only if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally required to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using data processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6, PAR. 1, SUBPAR. E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS RELATED TO YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) OF THE GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, THEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) OF THE GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted, if applicable. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or with any other questions about personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
a) If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
b) If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request that the processing be restricted instead of having the data erased.
c) If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being erased.
d) If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be conducted. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact information published in accordance with the legal requirement to provide an "Imprint" for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as through spam emails.
4.) Data Collection on This Website
Cookies
Our website uses so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services into websites (e.g., cookies used to process payment services).
Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart feature or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart feature), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies used to measure website traffic) (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
If other cookies and services are used on this website, you can find that information in this Privacy Policy.
Consent to Borlab's Cookie Policy
Our website uses Borlabs Cookie’s consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser or to the use of certain technologies, and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. This technology is provided by Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11, 22083 Hamburg (hereinafter “Borlabs”).
When you visit our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser to record the consents you have given or any revocation of those consents. This data is not shared with the provider of the Borlabs cookie.
The collected data will be stored until you request that we delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. For details on how Borlabs processes data from the cookie, please visit https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.
Borlabs’ cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are
a) Browser type and browser version
b) Operating system used
c) Referrer URL
d) Hostname of the accessing computer
e) Time of the server request
f) IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring that its website functions properly and is optimized—to this end, server log files must be collected.
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request 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 processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked 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 no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request 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 processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
5.) Social Media
We have publicly accessible profiles on social media platforms. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), etc., can generally analyze your user behavior in detail when you visit their website or a website with embedded social media content (e.g., “Like” buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media pages triggers numerous data processing operations relevant to data protection.
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media platform may associate this visit with your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media platform. In this case, data collection occurs, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, social media platform operators can create user profiles that store your preferences and interests. This allows interest-based ads to be displayed to you both on and off the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based ads can be displayed on all devices on which you are currently logged in or have been logged in in the past.
Please also note that we cannot track all data processing activities on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, additional data processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media platforms. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
Legal basis
Our social media accounts are intended to ensure the broadest possible online presence. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The analytics processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).
Responsible party and assertion of rights
When you visit one of our social media pages (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing activities triggered by that visit. In general, you may exercise your rights (right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint) both with us and with the operator of the respective social media platform (e.g., Facebook).
Please note that, despite our shared responsibility with the social media platform operators, we do not have full control over the data processing activities of these platforms. Our options depend largely on the corporate policies of the respective provider.
Storage duration
Data collected directly by us through our social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, you request that we delete it, or you revoke your consent to its storage. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
We have no control over how long your data is stored by social media platform operators for their own purposes. For more details, please contact the social media platform operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policies; see below).

6.) Analytics Tools and Advertising
Matomo
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about how visitors use our website. This allows us, among other things, to determine when specific pages were viewed and which region the visitors are from. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers, and operating systems used) and can track whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).
The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
IP anonymization
We use IP anonymization for the analysis with Matomo. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.
Cookieless analysis
We have configured Matomo so that Matomo does not store any cookies in your browser.
Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analytics data remains with us and is not shared with third parties.
7.) Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers, described below, to manage the newsletter.
CleverReach
This website uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter „CleverReach“). CleverReach is a service that allows for the organization and analysis of newsletter distribution. The data you provide to subscribe to the newsletter (e.g., email address) is stored on CleverReach’s servers in Germany or Ireland.
Our newsletters sent via CleverReach allow us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can analyze how many recipients opened the newsletter and how often each link in the newsletter was clicked. Using what’s known as conversion tracking, we can also analyze whether a predefined action (e.g., purchasing a product on this website) took place after a link in the newsletter was clicked. For more information on data analysis via CleverReach newsletters, please visit: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.
The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
If you do not wish to be analyzed by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.
The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point it will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list.

9.) Our Own Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g., by email, mail, or through our online application form). Below, we provide information about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal requirements, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you submit an application to us, we will process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication information, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general pre-contractual processing), and—if you have provided consent—Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company exclusively with those individuals involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems in accordance with Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the purpose of administering the employment relationship.
As part of the application process, we may also conduct an online search for information about you. This primarily includes Google searches, LinkedIn, and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in forming an overall impression of you based on publicly available information, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Data Retention Period
If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided, based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterward, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for its continued retention no longer applies.
Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have provided the appropriate consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) or if statutory retention requirements prevent the data from being deleted.
