2. Server Log Files

When you access our website, technically necessary information is processed, including your IP address, time of access, pages accessed, and information about your browser and operating system.

This processing is carried out to ensure the secure and reliable operation of our website on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Server log files are generally deleted after no more than 7 days.

3. Cookies and Google Analytics

We use technically necessary cookies where required for the operation of our website.

We also use Google Analytics to statistically analyse the use of our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Dublin, Ireland. Google Analytics is only activated after you have given your consent. Information processed may include page views, duration of use, device and browser information, and approximate location.

The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.

When Google Analytics is used, data may also be processed by Google in the United States. Google uses the safeguards provided for under applicable data protection law for international data transfers.

4. Contact

If you contact us by email or via a contact form, we process the information you provide in order to respond to your enquiry.

Depending on the nature of your enquiry, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. The data will be deleted when it is no longer required for handling your enquiry, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Job Applications

If you apply for a position with us, we process the data you provide for the purpose of carrying out the application process. The legal basis is Section 26(1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

If no employment relationship is established, we generally delete application data no later than six months after completion of the application process, unless longer storage is required or has been agreed with you.

6. Video Surveillance

For the security of our premises, we use video surveillance in selected outdoor, access and warehouse areas. The purpose is in particular to protect persons, buildings and goods and to prevent and investigate theft, burglary and vandalism.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Recordings are generally deleted automatically after no more than 48 hours, unless they are required for the investigation or preservation of evidence relating to a specific incident.

External security service providers may be commissioned with the technical operation or maintenance of the system and may process data on our behalf. Areas under video surveillance are appropriately marked.

7. Service Providers and Recipients

We use external service providers for the operation of our website and IT systems, for example for hosting, IT services, analytics and security. Where these providers process personal data on our behalf, this is done on the basis of appropriate data protection agreements.

Personal data is otherwise only disclosed where this is legally permitted or required.

8. Your Rights

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have in particular the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection.

You may withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
