Website Access and Log Files
Each time you access our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the device accessing the site. The following data is collected:
Browser type and version
The user’s operating system
The user’s internet service provider
The user’s IP address
Date and time of access
Referring websites
Pages visited on our website
This data is stored in log files by our technical service provider, netcup GmbH, Daimlerstraße 25, 76185 Karlsruhe, Germany. The legal basis for temporary storage is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to deliver the website to the user’s device. The IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in data processing under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of our website, optimize the website, and guarantee IT security (e.g., detecting attacks). These purposes also represent our legitimate interest in data processing under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data is deleted once it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection. For data collected to provide the website, this is the case once the session ends. Log files are stored for 7 days.
The collection of data for website provision and storage in log files is essential for operating the website. Therefore, users cannot object to this processing.
Rights of the Data Subject
Under Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to request information about your stored personal data. If inaccurate personal data is being processed, you have the right to correction under Article 16 GDPR.
Where legal requirements are met, you can request deletion or restriction of processing and object to processing (Articles 17, 18, and 21 GDPR). Under Article 20 GDPR, you may request data portability for data processed based on your consent or a contract.
If you believe your data is being processed unlawfully, you have the right to file a complaint with a data protection authority of your choice (Article 77 GDPR in conjunction with §19 BDSG). This includes our competent authority: the Saxon Commissioner for Data Protection and Transparency.
Part II: Data Processing Outside the Website
Communication, Customer Database, and Contract Fulfillment
We process your personal data based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The processing is necessary to fulfill our contracts or pre-contractual obligations with you and to carry out your request, along with all required internal tasks.
The specific purposes of data processing are outlined in the relevant contract documents and terms of service. Additionally, we process personal data provided during contact. This is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR—permissible if the processing is required to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms do not override these.
Such legitimate interests include:
The assertion and defense of legal claims
Payment processing through third parties
Ensuring IT security and system operation
Direct marketing
We also process personal data to comply with legal obligations per Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, such as commercial and tax-related retention duties under § 257 HGB and § 147 AO.
Within our company, only those units that require access to your data to meet contractual or legal obligations will receive it. We may also share your data with processors (Article 28 GDPR), including IT services, logistics, collections, and sales/marketing. In special cases, professionals bound to confidentiality (e.g., tax advisors, lawyers) or public authorities may receive your data.
We process and store personal data for the duration of the business relationship, including contract initiation and handling. We also retain the data as required for warranty and legal retention periods (e.g., § 257 HGB, § 147 AO).
Processing is necessary for communication and contract fulfillment. Without your data, we generally cannot enter into or continue a contract.
Data Protection Information for Applicants
We process data you provide as part of your application to evaluate the potential for an employment relationship. This is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and § 26 BDSG. If you consent to be included in our applicant pool, we process your data based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time (effective only for the future).
Beyond the application process, we may process your data under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR to protect legitimate interests, such as:
Legal defense or enforcement
Fulfilling legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR)
Within our company, only those departments that need your data for hiring decisions and legal compliance will have access. External processors (e.g., IT service providers and consultants) may also process data for these purposes.
If no employment relationship is established, your data will be deleted within six months after the application process concludes. If employment is established, your application will become part of your personnel file.
If you consent to remain in our applicant pool, your data will be retained and deleted no later than two years afterward.
Part III: Information About Your Right to Object Under Article 21 GDPR
You have the right, at any time and for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (processing based on a balance of interests). If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing, you may object at any time. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will stop processing your personal data for such purposes.
You may object informally by contacting us using the contact details listed under “Name and Contact Details of the Controller.”
