Collection, Processing and Use of Personal Data

By visiting our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is stored temporarily in a so-called logfile. The following information is recorded automatically and is stored until automated deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer,
  • Date and time of access,
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file,
  • Website from which access is made (referrer URL),
  • The browser you are using and, if necessary, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

The aforementioned data are processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
  • Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability as well as
  • For further administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) p. 1 lit. F GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the above listed purposes for data collection. In no case shall we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions on your person.

Cookies

In order to be able to make your visit to our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, so-called “cookies” are used. These are small text files that are stored on your computer. No personal data of yours will be stored. After a browser session has ended, the cookies used are deleted from your hard disk (so-called “session cookies”).

Google Analytics is NOT engaged on this website and therefore no data is transmitted to US companies for this reason. Services from US companies currently pose particular data protection risks because the USA does not have an appropriate level of data protection under the GDPR and you may not be able to effectively enforce your rights.

By agreeing to the setting of cookies on this website, you consent to the processing of the data collected about you in the manner described above and for the purposes described in the cookie configuration.

More about this and how you can decline and delete cookies in our cookie policy.

Web statistics: Matomo (self-hosted)

For data protection reasons, we do NOT use GoogleAnalytics on this website for the statistical evaluation of usage, but rather the self-hosted version of the open-source tool “Matomo” (formerly “PIWIK”) (server location and hosting operator in Austria). As a result, no data is transmitted to servers or third parties that are beyond our control. The analysis is deactivated when you visit our website. Your usage behavior will only be recorded anonymously if you give your active consent.

For this purpose, the information obtained by Matomo (e.g. date and time, title and address of the page accessed, address of the previous page (if this allows it), screen resolution, etc.) is transmitted to our server and stored so that usage behavior can be evaluated. Your IP address and your user ID as well as your location will be anonymized; this way you remain anonymous as a user. The information generated about your use of this website will not be passed on to third parties.

We undestand this analysis as part of our service and would like to further improve the website and adapt it even more to the needs of the users. You can decidewhether a web analysis cookie may be stored in your browser to enable us to collect and analyze statistical data.

Social Media

For data protection reasons, our website does not use any plug-ins from the well-known social media networks (e.g. Facebooks “Like-Button”, Twitter “Tweet-Button”, …), since these buttons already transfer information about the linked social media network when the page is loaded, without the users having any influence on this.

Establishing contact, e.g. via online forms

If personal data is voluntarily transmitted via this website, e.g. as part of an inquiry or application for an open position, via an online form or email, the transmitter expressly agrees that the personal data provided by him and necessary for any legal transaction (e.g. title, first and last name, email address, your message, possibly also IP address, address and telephone number, file attachments, etc.) may be electronically recorded and processed.

We will store and process your data exclusively for your individual support, as far as this is necessary in the context of the respective case, for the purpose of processing the inquiry, sending information or submitting service offers and for the case of follow-up questions for up to 36 months, as long as they do not have to be kept longer for reasons of verifiability or statutory retention periods, and no further communication takes place and no customer or legal relationship exists. Your data will not be used for any other purposes. Your data will not be used for any other purposes.

Of course, we will treat your provided information discretely and in accordance with the valid data protection professional regulations. For the operation of this website we use the following contract data processors, which ensure the technical functionality and support us in online marketing:

In order to carry out these activities, these commissioned data processors may, for system-related reasons, have technical access to some of your personal data (e.g. as part of the operation of the website or during the regular backup of the website).

Your personal data will be passed on to external service providers such as lawyers, tax consultants, auditors, suppliers, banks and debt collection agencies for the purpose of contract implementation and fulfilling legal obligations, including the prosecution of legal claims.

Furthermore, your personal data will not be passed on without your express consent, unless there is a legal permission or obligation (e.g. information to law enforcement authorities and courts; information to public bodies that receive data due to legal regulations, e.g. social insurance carriers, tax authorities, etc.) or if we involve third parties obligated to professional secrecy to enforce our claims.

Data access, correction, deletion, blocking

In principle, you have the inalienable rights to free data access, correction, deletion, restriction, transferability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have been otherwise violated in any way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Berlin, this is the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit.

The deletion of the stored personal data takes place if you revoke your consent to storage or if knowledge of this data is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose pursued with the storage. The deletion, however, only takes place after the expiration of the periods of the tax and commercial law regulations.
