I.II. Scope and purpose of data processing
1. Anonymous data collection
We process the personal data of website visitors only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services.
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. For technical reasons, including to ensure a secure and stable internet presence, we only store so-called "server log files", access data without personal reference, such as your internet provider, the internet browser you use, the page from which you visit us, the date and time of your access or the name of the requested file.
The data is stored in "server log files" to ensure the functionality of the website and for security reasons, in particular to prevent and detect attacks on our website or fraud attempts. The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the relevant session has ended.
This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal data you may have provided and thus does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a specific person. It is evaluated for statistical purposes in order to be able to optimise our website and our offerings. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the "server log files" is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Web hosting is provided by a web hosting company in Germany contracted by us. The legal basis is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (provision of our online offer). We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.
To create our website we use the open source CMS system "Contao".
2. Collection and processing of personal data
If you wish to use one of our company’s services via our website and/or contact us via our contact form, we cannot rule out that it will be necessary to process personal data. If there is no legal basis for the processing of personal data, we will obtain the consent of the data subject. This will be visible in the appropriate places. This may be required if you contact us via our contact form. The legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent from you for processing purposes is Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract or the initiation of a contract (e.g. for the delivery of goods or the provision of such services, or in the case of inquiries about our products and services), the processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
We store and use the personal data provided by you, such as name, company, address, email and telephone number, for the purpose of individual communication with you in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the "BDSG-neu” (new version of the German Data Protection Act). Please note that, in general, no confidential information should be sent via the contact form.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

However, the data will not be deleted if it is required to be stored for a longer period of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings due to statutory provisions, e.g. due to the obligation to provide evidence in accordance with the German Act on Equal Treatment, or if you have expressly consented to longer storage (maximum 12 months) in our database of prospective customers.
If you expressly consent to your data being stored for a longer period (maximum 12 months), e.g. for your inclusion in a database of applicants or interested parties, the data will be processed on the basis of your consent.

You have the option to share job ads on our website on the social media sites "Facebook" and "Twitter". Data is transferred only after your active actions (sharing links).

If we do not act on a request, we will inform you immediately within one month of receipt of the request of the reasons for this and inform you of the possibility of filing a complaint with a supervisory authority or seeking a judicial remedy. (see Article 12 para. 3 and 4 GDPR).

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
