On our website, we offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter, which we use to inform you about company offers, products and information at regular intervals.

We require the following information from you to send you a personalised newsletter:

• First name and surname
• e-mail address

After submitting your registration, you will receive a confirmation e-mail for legal reasons in order to finalise your registration for the newsletter (double opt-in). A tracking function (HubSpot) is used for analysis purposes in order to constantly improve the content of our newsletter and adapt it to the interests of subscribers.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by cancelling the newsletter and revoking your consent to the use of your data for sending the newsletter. You will find a corresponding link in every newsletter.
 

In the course of your application (online application or by e-mail), we collect and process various personal application data.
This includes in particular your

• Contact information (name, address, telephone number and e-mail)
• Application documents (letter of application, CV, certificates or other proof of training and qualifications)

Your personal application data is collected and processed exclusively for the purpose of filling vacancies within our company. Your data will only be forwarded to the internal departments and specialist departments of our company responsible for the specific application process. Your personal application data will not be passed on to other companies without your prior express consent.
Your application data will not be used for any other purpose or passed on to third parties.

Your personal application data will be deleted automatically three months after the application process has been completed. This does not apply if statutory provisions prevent deletion, if further storage is necessary for the purpose of providing evidence or if you have expressly consented to longer storage, e.g. for future job advertisements. If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment contract.

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us by e-mail and/or via a contact form. If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically.

Any such personal data transmitted to us by you on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry or contacting the person concerned. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

If you use our contact or newsletter form, the data you enter will be forwarded to HubSpot's servers and stored there. During your input, the email address you enter is also sent to HubSpot's servers for validation. This enables us to ensure that the email address you have entered is valid and that you receive our response.

This storage and processing of your data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f of the GDPR, our legitimate interest in offering an easy-to-use contact form on the website and receiving business enquiries. As the contact form is only intended for business relationships, only general contact information of our contact persons at customers or interested parties is processed. As you provide us with your contact information voluntarily, we assume that you have a reasonable expectation that we will process your data in order to contact you and respond to your enquiry. With the help of our service provider, we can respond to your enquiries about our products quickly and in a customised manner.

When you use our website, your browser automatically transmits certain information to HubSpot's servers to enable an analysis of your behaviour on our website.

HubSpot only provides us with anonymised information about access times, subpages visited, origin of visitors, country of the user or length of stay. It is not possible for us to assign the access to your person. In particular, HubSpot does not permanently store your IP address, but only infers geographical information and then deletes the address.

We only use HubSpot's web analysis services with your prior express consent, which you can give via the consent banner on our website. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a of the GDPR, your consent.
