3.
Establishing contact

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or via social media), we process your data for processing the contact request and its handling.

If you have given us your consent for this, the legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, in particular if the data is transmitted to us by you by sending an e-mail. Insofar as you wish to work towards the conclusion of a contract by contacting us, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR represents an additional legal basis. 

If we provide a contact form on our website, the data you enter in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored, e.g. inventory data (e.g. names, addresses) and contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers).

In addition, we record your IP address and the time of submission. The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Unless explicitly stated in the contact form, the data will not be passed on to third parties.

Your data may also be temporarily stored in a customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or comparable inquiry organization.

Subject to legal retention periods, the data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when we have finally processed your respective request.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you contact us by e-mail, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

4. Applications

If consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a is required for a specific processing activity, this will be obtained from you separately and transparently.

4.2 Disclosure of data

Your data will not be passed on to unauthorized third parties in the context of applicant management and will only be processed for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your data will be passed on to internal departments and specialist managers and, if applicable, to the company whose job advertisement you are applying for, insofar as knowledge of the details from the application process is necessary and permissible for the selection of applicants or for internal administrative purposes. For this purpose, your details may be forwarded by e-mail or within a management system. Legal basis can be Section 26 para. 1 BDSG, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f as well as a GDPR.

The personal data collected by us for the order will be stored until the expiry of the legal warranty obligation and then deleted, unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period of time according to Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations or you have consented to a storage beyond this according to Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Furthermore, during the ordering process, you may provide additional data – beyond that required for the provision of the order.

7. Third-party services

We also use services on our website that we use for reach measurement, online marketing and the integration of third-party content and functions.

For reach measurement, we analyze the surfing behavior of website visitors, i.e. we evaluate the behavior and interests of users, e.g. to determine which content is particularly interesting or which functions require optimization.

These functional and content elements are usually obtained from the servers of these third-party providers. To display this content and functionality, it is necessary for the providers to process the IP address of the users in order to send the content to the browser. The providers of the functional and content elements may also use so-called pixel tags or “web beacons”, i.e. invisible graphics, for statistical and marketing purposes. This information may also be stored in cookies.

8. social media accounts

To offer information about us and to be able to communicate with users, we operate accounts within social networks. These can be accounts of our company as well as individual divisions and media brands, as well as the pages of our corporate influencers.

Various user data may also be processed by the operators of the social networks outside the European Union and in particular in the USA. This data may include inventory data (e.g., names, addresses), contact data (e.g., e-mail, telephone numbers), content data (e.g., entries in online forms), usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), and meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).

The operators of the social networks generally also process the users’ data for market research and advertising purposes. The usage behavior stored in cookies on the users’ computers and the users’ interests can be used by the operators to play interest-based advertising inside and outside the networks. Therefore, we refer to the data protection statements of the respective networks for a detailed presentation of data processing and data subject rights.

We process data in connection with the operation of our social media presences based on our legitimate economic interest pursuant to Art. 6 para.1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for the efficient processing of contact requests, queries and for communication with you, for the needs-based design of our offers, for product information and for customer care.

Pages can be operated in the following social networks:

  • Facebook pages: Social network; service provider: Meta Platforms, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are an EU resident, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. We are jointly responsible with Facebook Ireland Ltd. for the collection of data from visitors to our Facebook pages. Facebook and we are each independently responsible for the further processing of the data. This data may include content data (e.g., input in online forms), usage data (e.g., interest in content, access times), and meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses). Facebook also processes this information to provide it to us by way of analysis via so-called “page insights”. This provides us with insights into how people interact with our pages and what content is of interest. For this purpose, we have concluded a data protection agreement with Facebook, in which Facebook states the security measures it uses to protect this data and that it complies with the rights of those affected (e.g. information, deletion).

9. social media plugins

So-called plugins from social networks may also be used on our website. We may use plugins from the following providers: Facebook, Twitter, XING, LinkedIn, Instagram.

We do not use direct plugins from social networks on our website, but instead use a privacy-friendly alternative in which the social media buttons are merely integrated as links to the pages of the external service providers. With the help of this solution, you can determine yourself whether and when data is transmitted to the operators of the respective social networks. Therefore, when you call up our website, no data will be automatically transmitted to the above-mentioned social networks as a matter of principle. Only when you yourself actively click on the respective button do you switch to the website of the social network and your browser establishes a connection to the servers of the respective social network. Thereupon, your data can be processed by the operator.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data processing by the plugin provider, please refer to the respective privacy statements of these providers. There you will also receive further information about your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.
