Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the US, where it is abbreviated. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”)) for the uniform display of fonts. When accessing a site, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display text and fonts.

Web fonts are used in the interests of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online services. This represents a legitimate interest within the context of Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, your computer will use a standard font.

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online services. This represents a legitimate interest within the context of Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.
For more information on the handling of user data, please see YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

To our knowledge, user data is used by OpenStreetMap solely for the purposes of displaying the map functions and caching the selected settings.

This website uses the services of MailChimp for sending newsletters. This is provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
MailChimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address), this data is stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA.
MailChimp has a certification according to the “EU-US Privacy Shield”. The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.
With the help of MailChimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. They are used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want any analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of MailChimp after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.
For more details, please refer to the privacy policy of MailChimp at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with MailChimp, in which we oblige MailChimp to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties. This contract can be viewed at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/sample-agreement/.
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position at our company (e.g. by email, post or via online application form). In the following paragraphs, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
If you send us a job application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on whether to establish an employment relationship with you. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship) and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation).
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The purpose of the storage is mainly to serve as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.
The data may also be stored for a longer period if you have given a corresponding consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if legal storage obligations oppose the deletion.
If we do not make you a job offer, we may be able to include you in our applicant pool. If we do decide to include you, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you if we have any suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). The submission of the consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. You can revoke your consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, unless there are legal reasons for retention.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than 24 months after consent has been given.
We use the Umantis software for the organization of job applications, which is provided to us by Schulz Group GmbH, Theodor-Krumm-Straße 18, 88213 Ravensburg. Schulz Group GmbH in turn obtains the software from Haufe-Lexware GmbH & Co. KG, Munziger Straße 9, 79111 Freiburg (hereinafter “Umantis”).
