GOOGLE ADS AND GOOGLE CONVERSION TRACKING
This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
As part of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and do not serve to identify users personally. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, both Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that can be used to identify users personally. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offerings and its advertising. If explicit consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information on Google Ads and Google conversion tracking, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
- NEWSLETTER
NEWSLETTER DATA
If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing. Data that has been stored for other purposes remains unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
- OWN SERVICES
HANDLING OF APPLICANT DATA
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, by post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal requirements, and that your data is treated confidentially.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes during interviews, etc.) as far as necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company only with persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored based on § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship in our data processing systems.
Data Retention Period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you decline a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you provided based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterward, the data will be deleted, and any physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention is particularly for evidential purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or impending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further retention ceases to apply.
A longer retention period may also occur if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
