What is it about?
This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information that we are unable to identify you personally (or only with disproportionate effort), e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose. Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for continuing to store the data. In the individual processing processes, we will inform you about the specific storage periods and criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and if there are legal storage obligations.

Who receives my data?
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We will only share your personal data with third parties if:
‍
- you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
- the transfer is permitted in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not sharing your data,
- in the event that there is a legal obligation to transfer data in accordance with Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and
- this is permitted by law and is required in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR to process contractual relationships with you.
‍
In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded order processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as a legal basis for transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Article 45 GDPR. Personal data may be transferred to the USA as part of the processing operations described in this privacy policy. In particular, US investigative authorities may oblige US companies to surrender or disclose personal data without the data subjects being able to take effective legal action against this. In principle, this means that your personal data may be processed by US investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. Data is transferred to the USA in accordance with Article 45 (1) GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The participating US companies and/or their US subcontractors are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF). In cases where there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission (including US companies that are not certified under EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed on other appropriate guarantees with the recipients of the data within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. of the GDPR. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses issued by the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021.
A copy of these standard contractual clauses can be found at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE view. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security or it is not possible to conclude the standard contractual clauses, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

- Restriction of processing in accordance with Article 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you refuse to delete it because you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to processing in accordance with Article 21 GDPR.
- Data portability Art. 20 DSGVO, insofar as you have provided us with personal data as part of a consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or on the basis of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and these have been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another person responsible, insofar as this is technically feasible.
- Art. 21 GDPR objection to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is based on Article 6 (1) (e, f) GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right to object does not exist if overriding, compelling legitimate reasons for processing are proven or if processing is carried out to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. Insofar as the right to object to individual processing operations does not exist, this is stated there.
- Withdrawal of your consent, Art. 7 (3) GDPR, with effect for the future.
- Complaint Art. 77 GDPR with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters.

Appropriate data processing can also be carried out electronically, for example when applicants submit application documents to us by e-mail or via a web form on our website. On our website, we offer you to send us applications for advertised job offers by e-mail. Your data will also only be stored in an applicant database in addition to the current application process if you have given us your separate consent to do so. The purpose and legal basis for processing your personal data in this application process is primarily Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. According to this, the processing of data necessary in connection with the decision to establish an employment relationship is permitted. This includes, if available, the use of the online applicant portal. If special types of personal data are processed within the meaning of Article 9 GDPR (e.g. health data), the legal basis is Section 26 (3) BDSG or Article 9 (2) lit. b) GDPR in conjunction with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Presences on social media platforms
We maintain so-called fan pages or accounts or channels on the networks listed below in order to also provide you with information and offers within social networks and to offer you further ways to contact us and find out about our offers. In the following, we will inform you which data we or the respective social network process about you in connection with accessing and using our fan pages/accounts.

Data that we process from you
If you would like to contact us via messenger or via direct message via the respective social network, we usually process your username, which you use to contact us, and may store further data provided by you insofar as this is necessary to process/respond to your request. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR (processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the person responsible).

(Static) usage data that we receive from social networks
Through Insights functionalities, we receive automatically provided statistics regarding our accounts. The statistics include the total number of page views, likes, information on page activity and post interactions, reach, video views/views and information on the proportion of men/women among our fans/followers. The statistics only contain aggregated data that is not related to individual persons. This does not identify you. Based on the statistical information provided, it is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users. We only use these to be able to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve our online presence and ensure the quality of it.

What data do social networks process about you
In order to be able to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not have to be a member of the respective social network and therefore no user account is required for the respective social network. When you access the respective social network, the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account (e.g. technical data to be able to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies over which we have no influence. Details can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above) If you want to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share or like our postings/contributions and/or want to contact us via messenger functions, prior registration with the respective social network and the provision of personal data is required. We have no influence on data processing by social networks within the framework of use by you. To the best of our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network, and also to analyze usage behavior (using cookies, pixel/web beacons and similar technologies) on the basis of which advertising based on your interests is displayed both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data will also be stored by social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties. Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the social network provider, our access options to your data are limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorized to have full access to your data. As a result, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfill your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.). Appropriate rights are therefore most effectively asserted directly vis-à-vis the respective provider.

Purpose and legal basis
We only collect your data via our profile to make it possible to communicate and interact with us. This collection usually includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information provided by you “publicly”. Your personal data is processed for our purposes mentioned above on the basis of our legitimate business and communication interest in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. Should you, as a user, have given the respective social network provider consent to data processing, the legal basis for processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 a), Art. 7 GDPR.
