6. Data collection on this website

The use of our website is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.

If the processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

We also process personal data in the course of our daily business activities. These are communicated to us through inqui- ries and orders both by telephone, e-mail and at our trade fairs and are stored for the purpose of the (pre-)contractual task as long as this is necessary for the fulfillment of the tasks and the legal requirements.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), as well as other data protection regulations and the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to our enterprise.

7. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the per- formance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation that we have to fulfill, Art. 6 para.1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessa- ry, Art. 6 para.1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, funda- mental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para.1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

8. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted and blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulati- ons, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Blocking and deletion of the data will also take place if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

9. Provision of the website and creation of log files

Each time our website is accessed, the provider of our website automatically collects and stores a series of general data and information that your browser automatically transmits in so-called log files.

The server automatically logs:

  • information about the browser and version used
  • the operating system of the user
  • the IP address of the user
  • date and time of the call

This data is not stored in our system, but on the server of our provider. We do not have access to the stored log files and cannot evaluate them. This data is also neither evaluated nor passed on to third parties by our provider and is deleted at regular intervals, unless this is prevented by legal storage obligations.This information is required to provide law enforce- ment authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

10. Use of cookies

Some of our Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user‘s computer system. Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies con- tain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This ena- bles the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. Cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website.

So-called „session cookies“ are predominantly used on our site. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. We do not use cookies that enable an analysis of the user‘s surfing behavior. Cookies are stored on the user‘s computer and transmitted from it to our website. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies.

By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can be informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, as well as activate the auto- matic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

  • Company Name
  • Name
  • Street, postal code and city
  • Telephone number
  • E-mail address

Registration of the user is required for the use of our media library, as we only pass on the rights to use our images to customers of our company.

Our website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. The data will be stored and used by us only for the purpose of communication in the context of your contact

14. Google Maps

On our website, we use Google Maps to display interactive maps and to create directions. Google Maps is a mapping service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the start address ent- ered as part of the route planner function, may be transmitted to Google in Ireland. When you call up a web page on our website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection with Google‘s servers.

According to our knowledge, this is at least the following data:
  • Date and time of the visit to the website in question
  • Internet address or URL of the website accessed
  • IP address
  • start address entered in the context of route planning

15. Privacy policy on the use and application of Facebook

Plug-ins of the social network Facebook are integrated on our website. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information.

Among other things, Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.

Facebook‘s operating company is Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Par, CA 94025, USA. If a user lives outside the USA or Canada, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin2, Ireland, is responsible for processing personal data.

We have entered into a joint processing agreement (Controller Addendum) with Facebook. This agreement specifies the data processing operations for which we or Facebook is responsible when you visit our FacebookPage. You can view this agreement at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

You can recognize the Facebook plug-ins by the Facebook logo or the „Like button“ („Like“) on our page. Each time one of the individual pages of our website is called up, the Internet browser on the user‘s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers. facebook.con/docs/plugins/?locale=deDE.

As part of this technical process, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the user.

If the user is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific sub-page of our website is visited each time our website is accessed and for the entire duration of the user‘s respective stay on our website.

This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the user. If the user confirms a Facebook button integrated on our website, the user of the pages can link the content of our pages on his Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to assign the visit to our pages to your user account and store this personal data.

We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to be able to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook user account, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your Facebook account before calling up our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides infor- mation about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the user‘s privacy. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. You can also use such applications to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

Clicking on the Facebook plug-in on our website is only possible if you explicitly confirm this.

16. Privacy policy on the use and application of YouTube

Our website uses plug-ins from the YouTube site operated by Google. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows vi- deo publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

By calling up one of the individual pages of our website on which a YouTube component has been integrated (YouTube video), the Internet browser on the user‘s information technology system is automatically caused by the respective You- Tube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further infor- mation on YouTube can be found at https://www>.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. Within the scope of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the user.

If the user is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific sub-page is visited when a sub- page containing a YouTube video is called up. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the user.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that our website has been visited if the user is logged into YouTube at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the user clicks on a YouTube video or not.

Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud attempts. The cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.

If you do not wish such transmission, you can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our website. The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be accessed at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/priva- cy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Clicking on the YouTube plug-in on our website is only possible if you expressly confirm this.

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

18. Data protection for applications in the application process

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by e-mail or post). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collec- tion, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail.

18.1  Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, applica- tion documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 DSG-neu under German law (initiation of an employ- ment relationship), Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO (general initiation of a contract) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6

(1) lit. a DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG-neu and Art 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

18.2  Retention period of the data

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for us on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO) for up to 6

months from the termination of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impen- ding or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your corresponding consent (Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO) or if legal sto- rage obligations prevent deletion.

19. Data security and changes to the privacy policy

The transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, we can therefore not guarantee the security of data transmitted via the Internet to our website despite the protection of our Internet presence and our other facilities with which data is determined to us by appropriate technical and organizational measures against loss of availability, confidentiality or integrity. In this respect, reference is also made to section 10 of this data protection declaration.

We reserve the right to change this data protection declaration in part or in full at any time with effect for the future. The current status of our data protection declaration can be viewed on our website.

We use cookies on our website. Some of them are essential for the operation of the site, while others help us to improve this site and the user experience (tracking cookies). You can decide for yourself whether you want to allow cookies or not. Please note that if you reject them, you may not be able to use all the functionalities of the site.
