Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “Extended Data Protection Mode” function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.

Without this “extended data protection” a connection to the YouTube server in the USA will be established as soon as you access one of our websites on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is required in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least collect and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you visited. A connection is also established to Google’s “DoubleClick” advertising network.

Online job applications / publication of job advertisements

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via our website. With these digital applications, we collect and process your applicant and application data electronically to process the application process.

The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 Paragraph 1 GDPR.

If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we will store the data you provided during your application in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organizational and administrative process - of course, taking into account the further legal obligations.

The legal basis for this processing is also Section 26 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 Paragraph 1 GDPR.

If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data transmitted to us two months after the rejection was announced. However, the data will not be deleted if the data requires longer storage of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings due to legal provisions, for example due to the burden of proof under the AGG.

The legal basis in this case is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR and Section 24 Paragraph 1 No. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defense and enforcement.

If you expressly consent to a longer storage of your data, for example for your inclusion in an applicant or interested party database, the data will be further processed based on your consent. The legal basis is then Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) GDPR. Of course, you can revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR by notifying us with effect for the future.

Use of Vimeo components

We use components from the provider Vimeo on our site. Vimeo is a service of Vimeo LCC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. Each time you access our website that is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from Vimeo. If you access our site and are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo uses the information collected by the component to recognize which specific page you are visiting and assigns this information to your personal Vimeo account. For example, if you click the “Play” button or make comments, this information will be transmitted to your personal Vimeo user account and stored there. In addition, the information that you have visited our site is passed on to Vimeo. This happens regardless of whether you click on the component/make comments or not.

If you want to prevent Vimeo from transmitting and storing data about you and your behavior on our website, you must log out of Vimeo before you visit our website. Vimeo's data protection information provides more information on this, in particular on how Vimeo collects and uses data: https://vimeo.com/privacy
