Deletion of Data and Storage Duration Unless otherwise stated, we delete your data once it is no longer needed, for example, your email address after unsubscribing from our newsletter. Your data will also be blocked or deleted when a retention period expires. Certain data may need to be retained longer for legal reasons. You can, of course, request information about the stored data at any time. Data protection inquiries and other legal matters may also be stored for an extended period within the legally relevant retention and limitation periods.

Visiting the Website If you are merely browsing our website, we do not collect personal data, except for the data your browser transmits to enable the visit, primarily:

  • IP address (e.g., 81.91.215.example or 2a02:8109:9440:1198:bdb1:551f)
  • Approximate location based on IP range (e.g., Berlin)
  • Internet service provider (e.g., Vodafone or Deutsche Telekom)
  • Internet speed (e.g., 120 Mbit)
  • Date and time (e.g., 11:55 on 25.05.2023)
  • Last visited website (e.g., google.de)
  • Browser (e.g., Chrome or Safari)
  • Operating system (e.g., Mac OS)
  • Hardware (e.g., Intel processor)

As a privacy protection measure, we delete or anonymize your IP address after your visit to our website. This ensures that the remaining technical data can no longer be traced back to you and only serve anonymous, statistical purposes for optimizing our website. The purpose of temporarily storing the data is the technical necessity for establishing a connection and the correct, error-free display of our website. The IP address and the aforementioned technical data are required to display the website, avoid display issues for visitors, and resolve error messages. The legal basis is the so-called legitimate interest, which has been examined within the framework of the protective measures mentioned above and in accordance with the European data protection requirements from Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

Applications If you apply to us online or respond to one of our job postings, we collect and process personal application data to process the application procedure. Processing is primarily done electronically, especially if application documents are submitted electronically, such as via email or a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If we do not conclude an employment contract, the application documents will be deleted six months after the rejection decision - this retention period is due to potential evidence obligations in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). If consent has been given, applications may also be retained for longer than six months. We also use recruitment and application management software provided by the service provider Personio GmbH. This software helps us post job advertisements and centrally manage applications. We have signed a data processing agreement to ensure that applicants' personal data is only processed according to our instructions. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy: Personio Privacy Policy. The legal basis for processing is the decision about the establishment and execution of an employment relationship according to Art. 6 (1) lit. b), Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG.
