3. Processing of Personal Data When Visiting the Website

When you access our website, certain data is automatically processed and transmitted by your browser, including:

  • IP address of the requesting device,
  • Date and time of access,
  • Pages/files accessed,
  • Amount of data transferred,
  • Notification of successful retrieval,
  • Browser type and version as well as operating system.

This data is technically necessary to display our website and to ensure its stability and security (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR -DSGVO).

The data will be deleted after no later than 30 days, unless longer storage is required for evidentiary purposes in the event of a security incident.

4. Cookies

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly.

  • Transient cookies (session cookies): automatically deleted after the end of the session.
  • Persistent cookies: remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your browser deletes them automatically.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services). Where cookies are not technically necessary, their use is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

You can refuse or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

You have the option to apply for job openings via our website. In this process, the following personal data is particularly processed:

  • Name, contact details,
  • Application documents (e.g., cover letter, CV, certificates),
  • Other information you provide.

The transmission is carried out by email to us or via a recruitment tool provided by an external service provider with whom we have concluded a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

The legal basis for processing is Section 26 BDSG (initiation of an employment relationship). If storage beyond the application process takes place (e.g., for an applicant pool), this will only occur on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).

Your application documents will be deleted no later than six months after the conclusion of the recruitment process, unless statutory retention obligations or your consent to longer storage apply.
