We have integrated components from DoubleClick by Google on our website. DoubleClick is a Google brand under which mainly special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities.
Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to the data subject’s browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplication. The cookie ID also enables DoubleClick to record conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick ad and subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using the same Internet browser.
A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data, but may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact on other websites. As part of this service, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to create commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that you have clicked on certain links on our website. In this case, your data will be passed on to the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The cookie is also used to avoid multiple displays of the same advertisement. Each time you access one of the individual pages of our website on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, your browser is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data. If you do not give us your consent, you can visit our website without restriction, but not all functions may be fully available.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your data carrier and save certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie data was sent as well as information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier.
Cookies enable our systems to recognize the user’s device and make any default settings immediately available. As soon as a user accesses the platform, a cookie is transferred to the hard disk of the user’s computer. Cookies help us to improve our website and offer you a better and more personalized service. They enable us to recognize your computer or your (mobile) device when you return to our website and thus:
We work together with third-party services that help us to make the Internet offering and the website more interesting for you. Therefore, cookies from these partner companies (third-party providers) are also stored on your hard disk when you visit the website. These are cookies that are automatically deleted after the specified time.
For more information on the individual third-party providers, please refer to the Cookie Consent Tool and the data protection information contained therein.
If you do not wish to use browser cookies, you can set your browser so that the storage of cookies is not accepted. Please note that in this case you may only be able to use our website to a limited extent or not at all. If you only want to accept our own cookies, but not the cookies of our service providers and partners, you can select the “Block third-party cookies” setting in your browser. We assume no responsibility for the use of third-party cookies.
You can contact us by e-mail or telephone. In this case, we store the personal data transmitted by you in order to process your request and to contact you to process your request. The requested data is transmitted to us by you on a purely voluntary basis. Depending on the type of request, the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for requests that you make yourself as part of a pre-contractual measure or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR if your request is of a different nature. The legitimate interest follows from the purposes mentioned under point 4 a.). If personal data is requested that we do not need for the fulfillment of a contract or to protect legitimate interests, it will be transmitted to us on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
We publish job vacancies on our website, which you can apply for by e-mail, telephone or contact form. If you decide to apply for an open position, we will process the personal data you provide and transmit to us exclusively for the purpose of carrying out the application process.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data as part of the application process is § 26 para. 1 in conjunction with para. 2 BDSG. In the event of a rejection, we will delete your data as soon as a retention period of 6 months required by labor law has expired. The period begins with the dispatch of the rejection. If you have expressly consented to the further use of your data for subsequent contact regarding jobs that may be of interest to you, we will continue to store your data in accordance with your consent.
If an employment relationship is established following the application process, the data will initially continue to be stored to the extent necessary and permissible and then transferred to the personnel file.
Ihre personenbezogenen Daten können in unserem Auftrag auf der Grundlage von Auftragsverarbeitungsverträgen gemäß Art. 28 GDPR. In these cases, we ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
Otherwise, data will only be passed on to recipients outside the company if this is permitted or required by law, if the transfer is necessary to fulfill legal obligations or if you have given your consent. A transfer to a third country is not intended.
The provision of personal data as part of the application process is neither legally nor contractually required. You are therefore not obliged to provide the personal data. However, the provision of personal data is necessary for the decision on an application or the conclusion of a contract of employment with us. However, as part of your application, you should only provide personal data that is necessary for the acceptance and execution of the application. If you do not provide us with any personal data in an application, we cannot make a decision on the establishment of an employment relationship.
Please note that applications that you send to us by e-mail are transmitted unencrypted. In this respect, there is a risk that unauthorized persons can intercept and use this data.
In order to present our company in the best possible way and to communicate with you as a user, customer or interested party and to inform you about the services we offer, we make use of our presence in social networks.
You can find us on the following platforms and social networks
When using social networks, data is processed outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). An equivalent level of data protection as exists in the EU cannot be guaranteed in all countries outside the EU.
In this context, there may be risks for you as a user if the transmitted data is processed in so-called third countries with an inadequate level of data protection.
This makes it more difficult to enforce known user rights. In addition, your data may not be processed in your interest by the provider in the third country.
The level of data protection in the USA is not comparable with the requirements of the GDPR. It is possible that government agencies may access personal data without us or you knowing about it. It will probably not be possible to enforce your rights in the USA.
The processing purposes pursued by the social networks generally differ from ours. This usually means that the data collected from you in social networks is processed for the purposes of market research, advertising and the creation of user profiles for personalized advertising (e.g. Facebook, Google, Instagram, etc.).
To achieve this, cookies are used which record user behavior and enable the user to be profiled. In the case of Facebook, a user profile is also created for people who do not have a registered account on Facebook.
A specific list of the purposes for which user data is processed can be found in the data protection notices of the respective providers. By making the appropriate settings in your user account, you can restrict profiling, at least to a certain extent. For the exact procedure, please read the corresponding data protection information of the respective provider.
Facebook Fanpage
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more information on this under the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights .
It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users based on the statistical information transmitted. We only use them to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve our online presence and ensure its quality.
We only collect your data via our fan page in order to realize a possible provision for communication and interaction with us. This collection generally includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you have made “publicly” available.
The processing of your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you as a user have given your consent to data processing to the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis for the processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR.
Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access options to your data are limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorized to have full access to your data. As a result, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfill your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.). The most effective way to assert such rights is therefore directly against the respective provider.
Should you nevertheless require assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

This website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland.
Each time a page of this website containing LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click on the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn will be able to associate your visit to this website with you and your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn.
The use of the LinkedIn plugin is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the widest possible visibility in social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: //www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62538/datenubertragung-aus-der-eu-dem-ewr-und-der-schweiz?lang=de
Further information on this can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at: //www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to be able to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Ihre personenbezogenen Daten können in unserem Auftrag auf der Grundlage von Auftragsverarbeitungsverträgen gemäß Art. 28 GDPR. In these cases, we ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, by e-mail to or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.
You have the right:
If you would like to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send an e-mail to .
Your personal data will be passed on as described below.
Data will also be passed on if we are entitled or obliged to pass on data due to legal provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve the provision of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, averting danger or enforcing intellectual property rights.
If your data is passed on to service providers to the extent necessary, they will only have access to your personal data to the extent necessary to fulfill their tasks. These service providers are obliged to treat your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the GDPR. Insofar as your personal data is processed on our behalf on the basis of order processing contracts in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, we ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
We attach great importance to processing your data within the EU/EEA. However, we may use service providers who process data outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection comparable to the standards within the EU is established at the recipient before your personal data is transferred. This can be achieved, for example, through EU standard contracts or binding corporate rules or special agreements to which the company can subject itself.
We use technical and organizational measures to secure our website against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons.
In particular, your personal data is transmitted to us in encrypted form. We use the SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) coding system. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
With regard to the storage period, we delete personal data as soon as its storage is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the original purpose and there are no longer any statutory retention periods. The statutory retention periods form the criterion for the final duration of the storage of personal data. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted. If there are retention periods, processing is restricted by blocking the data.
When calling up Internet pages to which reference is made on our website, information such as name, address, e-mail address, browser properties, etc. may be requested again. This privacy policy does not regulate the collection, disclosure or handling of personal data by third parties.
Third-party service providers may have different and separate provisions regarding the collection, processing and use of personal data. It is therefore advisable to inform yourself on the websites of third parties about their personal data handling practices before entering personal data.
