Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not safe in terms of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

This website uses the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about the visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the professional key data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better align our site with the respective target groups. Furthermore, with the help of LinkedIn Insight Tags, we can measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or other action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function, with the help of which we can display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, whereby according to LinkedIn no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.
LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as website operators. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it in its own advertising measures. For details, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected in the context of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data is treated with strict confidentiality.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and ' if you have given consent ' Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to people who are involved in processing your application.

If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to a threatening or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for the further retention no longer applies.
Longer retention may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are legal reasons for retention.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after the consent was given.
