The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter after you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future by clicking on an appropriate link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

7. Web analytics services

Matomo

This website uses a web analytics service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand ("Matomo").

To protect site visitors, Matomo uses a so-called "config_id" to enable various analyses of site usage within a short time window of up to 24 hours. The site's "config_id" is a randomly set, time-limited hash of a limited set of the visitor's settings and attributes. The config_id or config hash is a string calculated for a visitor based on their operating system, browser, browser plugins, IP address, and browser language. Matomo does not use device fingerprinting and uses an anonymized IP address of the site visitor to create the "config_id".

Insofar as the information processed in this way includes personal user data, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes. To object to the processing of your visitor data for the future, we provide you with a separate possibility to object on our website..

If data collected using Matomo technology (including your pseudonymized IP address) is transferred to Matomo servers in New Zealand and processed for usage analysis purposes, we inform you that the European Commission has issued a so-called adequacy decision for New Zealand, which certifies compliance with European data protection standards for international data transfers.

If data is also transferred to the provider's servers and the web analytics service is not installed locally on our server, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

8. Site functionalities

8.1 X-Plugins

On our website, plugins of the social network of the following provider are used: Twitter International Unlimited Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07 Ireland.

These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.

To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated by means of so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution integrated into the page.

This integration ensures that when you call up a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection is yet established with the provider's servers.

Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. Here, independent of a login to an existing user profile, information about your used end device (including your IP address), your browser and your page history will be transmitted to the provider to a certain extent and processed there if necessary.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking on it again. However, the revocation does not affect the data that has already been transferred to the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: X Corp, USA.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider invokes standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.

8.2 OpenStreetMap

This website uses an online map service provided by the following provider: OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, UK.

The online map service is a tool for displaying interactive maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, you will be shown our location and any geolocation will be facilitated.

Already when calling up those sub-pages in which the map of the provider is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to servers of the provider and stored there.

The processing of your personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the demand-oriented design of our website. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to the provider, you have the option to completely deactivate the provider's online map service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. The online map service on this website can then no longer be used.

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the option described above to make an objection.

In case of data transfer to the provider location, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

8.3 Zoom

For conducting online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars, we use this provider: Zoom Video Communications Inc, 55 Almaden Blvd, Suite 600, San Jose, CA 95113, USA.

The provider processes different data, and the amount of data processed depends on what data you provide before or during participation in an online meeting, video conference or webinar. Your data as a communication participant is processed and stored on servers of the provider. In particular, this may be your login data (name, e-mail address, telephone number (optional) and password) and session data (topic, participant IP address, device information, description (optional)).

In addition, participants' image and sound contributions as well as voice input in chats may be processed.

For the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures), Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. If you have given us consent to process your data, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Incidentally, the legal basis for data processing when conducting online meetings, video conferences or webinars is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in the effective conduct of the online meeting, webinar or video conference.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider invokes standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.

8.4 Applications to job advertisements by e-mail

On our website, we advertise currently vacant positions in a separate section, for which interested parties can apply by e-mail to the contact address provided.

Applicants must provide all personal data required for an informed assessment, including general information such as name, address and contact details, as well as performance-related evidence and, where applicable, health-related information. Please refer to the job announcement for application details.

After receipt of the application by e-mail, the data will be stored and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. In the event of queries, we use either the e-mail address or telephone number of the applicant. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (or § 26 Para. 1 BDSG), in the sense of which going through the application process is considered to be the initiation of an employment contract.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) of the GDPR (e.g. health data such as information on severely disabled status) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b. GDPR so that we can exercise the rights arising from labor law, social security and social protection law and fulfill our obligations in this regard.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of the special categories of data may also be based on Art. 9(1) (h) GDPR if it is carried out for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant's ability to work, for medical diagnosis, health or social care or treatment, or for the management of health or social care systems and services.

If the applicant is not selected or if an applicant withdraws his or her application prematurely, his or her transmitted data as well as all electronic correspondence, including the application e-mail, will be deleted at the latest after 6 months following appropriate notification. This period is based on our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions about the application and, if necessary, to meet our obligations to provide evidence under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (for processing in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG) for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

9. Tools and other

9.1 Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users in the form of an interactive user interface when they call up the page, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking the appropriate box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by setting a check mark. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user's end device if permission has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Further legal basis for the processing is furthermore Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. As the responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

To the degree necessary, we have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
