II. Rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

• - to confirmation of whether or not data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the data processing and copies of the data (see also Art. 15 GDPR);
  
• - to the rectification or completion of inaccurate or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);
• - to the erasure of data concerning them without undue delay (see also Art. 17 GDPR), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary pursuant to Art. 17 (3) GDPR, to the restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR;
  
• - to receive the data concerning them and provided by them and to transmit this data to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
• - to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that the data concerning them are being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (cf. also Art. 77 GDPR).
• 
  

In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider about any correction or deletion of data or the restriction of processing that is carried out on the basis of Articles 16, 17 (1), 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if this notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Regardless of this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, according to Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of their data, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

b) Third-party cookies

Where applicable, our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analysing or improving the functionality of our website.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular for the purposes and legal basis of the processing of such third-party cookies.

c) Removal option

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings on your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for your internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support team. However, in the case of so-called flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented by adjusting the browser settings. Instead, you will need to change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you are actually using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation for your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all the functions of our website are fully usable.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 (hereinafter: Google).

Through certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield, available at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active, Google guarantees that it will follow the EU's data protection regulations when processing data in the United States.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function. This function means that Google already shortens the IP address within the EU or the EEA.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide further services related to the use of our website and the use of the internet.

Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. In addition, Google provides further information under https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners for you, for example, on how to prevent the use of data.

Deactivation add-on

In addition, Google offers a so-called deactivation add-on at  https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de, along with further information. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use as detailed herein.

Use of Google Maps

We use the ‘Google Maps’ component from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter ‘Google’, on our site.

Each time the Google Maps component is accessed, Google sets a cookie in order to process user settings and data when the page on which the Google Maps component is integrated is displayed. This cookie is usually not deleted when you close your browser, but expires after a certain period of time, unless you delete it manually beforehand.

If you do not agree to this processing of your data, you have the option to deactivate the ‘Google Maps’ service and thus prevent the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the JavaScript function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use ‘Google Maps’ or only to a limited extent.

Use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is subject to the Google Terms of Use http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html

and the additional Terms and Conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

YouTube is a service provided by Google, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA.

In this respect, we would like to point out that there is a possibility that user data may be processed outside the European Union, in particular in the USA. This may result in increased risks for users in that, for example, subsequent access to user data may be made more difficult. Furthermore, we do not have access to this user data. The access option lies exclusively with YouTube.

Each time one of our web pages that contains such a component is accessed, the component prompts the browser you are using to download a corresponding display of the YouTube component.

Each time you access a page on our website that contains such a component, the component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding display of the Vimeo component.

Online job applications / publication of job advertisements

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us via our website. When you submit a digital application, we collect and process your applicant and application data electronically in order to carry out the application process.

The legal basis for this processing is § 26 para. 1 p. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 para. 1 DSGVO.

If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we will store the data you provided during the application process in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organisational and administrative processes – naturally in compliance with further legal obligations.

The legal basis for this processing is also § 26 para. 1 p. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 para. 1 DSGVO.

If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data transmitted to us six months after the notification of rejection. However, the deletion does not take place if the data requires a longer storage period of up to six months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings due to legal provisions, e.g. due to the burden of proof under the AGG.

The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR and § 24 (1) no. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defence and enforcement.

If you explicitly consent to a longer storage period for your data, for example for your inclusion in a database of applicants or interested parties, the data will be processed further on the basis of your consent. The legal basis for this is then Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. However, you can of course revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by making a declaration to us in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.
