You can contact our data protection officer, Mr. Markus Vatter , at the above postal address with the prefix "the data protection officer" or at datenschutz@bitbasegroup.com.
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use these pages, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The individual legal bases, purposes, additional recipients,
third country transfers as well as storage periods and other special features can be found in the respective processing according to this summary.
It is generally possible for every visitor to visit this website without disclosing who they are. Only the name of your Internet service provider, the website from which it was linked to us and your IP address are automatically determined. This transmitted information is collected and analyzed exclusively to combat abuse. An anonymized and shortened version of the IP address may be evaluated for statistical purposes.
Further personal data is only collected if you provide and transmit it to us of your own accord. We treat all data confidentially and only use it for the purpose for which it was transmitted.
The data you transmit to us in the context of an inquiry, an order or a business relationship will be stored and processed exclusively for the purpose for which this data was transmitted. We will not pass on any personal data transmitted to third parties unless this has been expressly authorized by you or is absolutely necessary for the purpose of providing the service.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Any use of the contact data published here by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising or information material is hereby expressly prohibited. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
We collect your data as a result of your sharing of your data with us. This may, for instance be information you enter into our contact form.
Other data shall be recorded by our IT systems automatically or after you consent to its recording during your website visit. This data comprises primarily technical information (e.g., web browser, operating system, or time the site was accessed). This information is recorded automatically when you access this website.
Some of the data is collected in order to ensure the error-free provision of the pages. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior.
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection.
When you visit this website, your usage behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with so-called analysis programs. If we use third-party providers, we conclude order data protection contracts with them that provide special protection for your data. Insofar as we use cookies for this or your consent is otherwise required, this is described below.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR.
Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. Information on the additional legal bases relevant in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Among other things, we use services from companies based in the United States or other third countries outside the EEA that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries.
For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes.
We have no direct influence on these processing activities, but the risk can be minimized through appropriate contractual arrangements (EU standard contractual clauses). The standard contractual clauses have been defined by the EU and can be found here: eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj. In a data protection impact assessment for third countries (third country impact assessment, DFA or TIA), we regularly check whether the risk is sufficiently controlled. If you have any questions about the technical and organizational measures, you can contact our data protection officer.
Since July 11, 2023, there has also been an adequacy decision by the EU Commission in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR, the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (TADPF). Only in the event that a US company self-certifies in the associated database and joins this network has the EU determined that the USA is considered a safe third country for these companies. We will note the transfer to unsafe third countries with the corresponding processor. You can check for yourself at www.dataprivacyframework.gov whether the company is still registered there.
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in this case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent in accordance with Art. 7 GDPR. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time in accordance with paragraph 3. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 E) OR F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; 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 CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU 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 SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
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.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Within he framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing at any time in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR and, if applicable, a right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR or to erasure of this data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR . You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.
In accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, 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
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.
We hereby object to the use of contact data published on this website, for example in the legal notice or the privacy policy, for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information.
In this section, we describe the provision of network content (hosting) based on legitimate interest. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. In simple form, a web page is transmitted by a computer from one location. Content delivery networks (CDN) are used to counter certain attacks, accelerate and optimize access. These serve the efficient and secure provision of a network presence worldwide by directing your page request to the country and computer that can process it most efficiently. Therefore, when using a CDN, we also necessarily process your data in unsafe third countries, such as the USA, see the note on processing in "unsafe third countries" . If we offer applications (apps) for smartphones, these generally also access this network content, see the section on our own services. The data is stored for as long as necessary, usually for a maximum of twelve months.

The provider would be in a so-called "unsafe third country", but due to participation in the EU-US data protection framework, the USA counts as a safe country in this case. In the event that these conditions do not apply, we have concluded the standard data protection contract. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://legal.pantheon.io/ClientAgreements.html#contract-bkts5zgrf.
This site uses content delivery networks (CDNs) on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing popular online libraries and web fonts in order to increase effectiveness and make the site more secure against attacks. Access is then made directly to the operator's servers, so that data such as the calling IP address, referrer, browser information, etc. is collected there. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in presenting our website in line with requirements and optimizing the user experience. You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by CDN by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker in your browser (you can find one at https://www.noscript.net, for example). However, the site will then no longer function properly.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising. They are used on the basis of our legitimate interest.
Cookies that are required for certain functions you wish to use (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the site (e.g. cookies to measure and assign page views) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of legitimate interest, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

The provider of this technology is Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter referred to as "Cookiebot").
When you visit our website, a connection is established to the Cookiebot servers in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding the use of cookies.

The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR.
Cookiebot uses third-party providers, such as BunnyWay d.o.o, to operate geolocalization. For more information, see their privacy policy at https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy.
Our cookie policy can be found in the Usercentrics/Cookiebot window, which reappears when you click on the link "Change cookie-consent" in the website footer.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there and metadata of the communication, such as IP address, time stamp, 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 (1) 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 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR or on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR if this has been requested.
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.
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 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 or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR) if this has been requested.
We will retain the data you provide on contact requests until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after has finished processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. This is usually done by means of a confirmation e-mail, which you must click on (double opt-in). We store the data from this confirmation as proof of your consent. Further data is only collected on a voluntary basis. In order to be able to write to you personally, we ask you to provide your title and name. We use the service providers described below to process the newsletter.
In accordance with Art. 6 I a) GDPR, data processing is based on your consent, which you may revoke at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, we provide you with a link in every message that you can click on or you can simply write to us. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. If necessary, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
Only if we expressly and separately point this out when you register does your consent also include the right to observe predefined actions in the newsletters through measures such as individualized links or reloaded graphics, for example whether you read the newsletter, buy something, follow the links listed there (conversion rate), or which parts of it interest you, in order to make our newsletters more effective and to be able to remind you to read them if you do not appear to have opened a newsletter. If necessary, we also individualize newsletters according to various categories of interest, such as age, gender, place of residence, if you have provided this data.
Insofar as we send business actors advertising letters based on our own research or from address vendors that are not based on your documented consent, the legal basis is the legitimate interest in advertising (see recital 47 GDPR) that we have carefully checked to see whether it meets the criteria of presumed consent under German law in accordance with Section 7 UWG. The aforementioned additional analysis methods are then not used due to a lack of consent. You can object to this use of your data at any time. We will inform you in the letter where we got your address from and, if applicable, how long we will use it. If you enter into an active business relationship, your contact details will subsequently be stored for the duration of this relationship.
Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. Your e-mail address will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription is active. You can cancel your subscription at any time by revoking your consent or objecting to the mailing. You will find a corresponding link for this purpose in every newsletter.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address will be stored in a Robinson list to prevent future mailings. The data from the Robinson list will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your and our legitimate interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters. Storage in the Robinson list is not limited in time, but we reserve the right to review it regularly after ten years for reasons of data economy. You can object to the storage, but then we cannot exclude the possibility that we will send you further advertising mailings.
Due to the worldwide dispatch of emails, the newsletters are also processed in so-called unsafe third countries.
The provider is salesforce.com Germany GmbH, Erika-Mann-Str. 31, 80636 Munich, Germany (hereinafter referred to as "Salesforce"). Salesforce processes all information that you have entered in connection with the interaction, as well as other available data, such as contact information (e.g. e-mail address and telephone numbers), order data, order histories, previous customer inquiries as well as customer numbers and other identifiers. The data processed in in connection with the communication is stored on Salesforce's servers. This means that data may also be transferred to the parent company of salesforce.com Germany GmbH, in particular salesforce.com inc., Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. The United States is generally considered an unsafe third country. Salesforce has binding corporate rules (BCR) that have been approved by the French data protection authority. These are binding corporate rules that legitimize the internal transfer of data to non-EU countries outside the EU and the EEZ. For more information, please click here: https://www.salesforce.com/de/blog/2020/07/die-binding-corporate-rules-von-salesforce-erfuellenhoechste-da.html. You can find Salesforce's privacy policy here: https://www.salesforce.com/de/company/privacy.
We maintain publicly accessible profiles in so-called "social" networks. The individual networks we use are listed below.
Networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (such as "like" information or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail: If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies that are stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the broadest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks, such as consent and contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) or b) GDPR.
If you visit one of our social media sites, we are generally jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal.
Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider and the joint controllership agreements.
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly.

This website uses the Insight tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. We can also use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that we can use to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.
LinkedIn itself also collects log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. Details can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.
If consent has been obtained, the above-mentioned service is used exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR and Section 25 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that enable the cross-page recognition of the user to analyze user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before it is stored.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visitors. This enables us to find out, among other things, when which pages were accessed and from which region. We also record various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).
This analysis tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
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.
We host Matomo with the following third-party provider: InnoCraft Ltd, 7 Waterloo Quay, PO Box 625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand. This is a so-called unsafe third country. The privacy policy: https://matomo.org/matomo-cloud-dpa.

This website uses functions of the network analysis service Google Analytics. Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of visitors in order to optimize the website and make it more interesting for you as a user. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, visit duration, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is assigned to the user's end device. It is not assigned to a unique device number.
For example, the cookie "test_cookie" is used to check whether the setting of cookies is possible at all. This cookie is necessary for the website to function and therefore does not require consent.
We can also use Analytics to record your mouse and screen scrolling movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and uses machine learning for data analysis.
Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or a digital "fingerprint").
We use services from Google. See generally in the section 9.2.
This website integrates videos from YouTube. The operator of YouTube is Google. When you visit one of our pages on which YouTube is integrated, a connection to Google's computers is established. In doing so, it is informed which of our pages you have visited.
Furthermore, Google may store various cookies on your end device or use comparable technologies for recognition (e.g. digital fingerprint). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this site. This information is used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your user behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest.
If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
This website integrates videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a video on our website, a connection to the provider's servers is established. The server is informed of your Internet address and which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to the provider, you enable the provider to assign your behavior directly to your personal profile via the IP. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.
Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. digital fingerprint). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent attempts at fraud.
After the start of a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

We use "reCAPTCHA" from Google on this website to determine whether the data entered on this website (e.g. information entered in a contact form) originates from a human user or from an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of website visitors using a variety of parameters. This analysis is triggered automatically as soon as the visitor accesses the page. For this analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various data (e.g. IP address, time spent by the visitor on the page or mouse pointer movements made by the user). The data collected during such analyses is forwarded to Google. reCAPTCHA analyses usually run completely in the background. Visitors to the site are not informed separately that an analysis is being carried out. If reCAPTCHA does not produce a clear result, you must solve a puzzle, usually a picture puzzle. If there is a corresponding declaration of consent, the data is processed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. I S. 1 a) GDPR. Such consent can be revoked at any time.
This website uses web fonts from Adobe's Typekit for the uniform display of certain fonts. The provider is Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd, 4-6 Riverwalk, City West Business Campus, Saggart, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland (Adobe).
When you access this website, your browser loads the required fonts directly from Adobe in order to display them correctly on your device. In doing so, your browser establishes a connection to the Adobe servers. This gives Adobe knowledge that this website has been accessed via your IP address. According to Adobe, no cookies are stored when the fonts are provided.
The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its pages. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The application can then no longer be used.
If and to the extent that you are informed of this before the start of the conference with reference to this declaration, your data will be recorded or processed by artificial intelligence for transcription or translation. This is usually done on the basis of legitimate interest. You can object to this. If you provide particularly sensitive data in accordance with Art. 9 f. GDPR, this is done on the basis of your consent. Employees who communicate privately are hereby informed that this is done on the basis of their consent.

We use Microsoft Teams. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, The Atrium Building, Block B, Carmanhall Road, Sandyford Business Estate, Dublin 18, registered office:70 Sir Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland.

We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR.

The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Data may also be stored for longer if you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion. If we do not make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool.
