Push Notifications

If you activate push notifications for this website using Signalize, a function of your Internet browser or mobile operating system is used to provide the notifications to you. For the sending of messages, only anonymous data is stored, which does not allow any identification of a specific person. This data is only processed in order to deliver the notifications you have subscribed to and to make notification-related settings. We ask for your consent to store this data. In this case, the legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can opt out of receiving notifications at any time via the settings of your browser or mobile device. Information on how to unsubscribe from push notifications can be found here.

In order to make the content of the push notifications meaningful to you, we use the preferences from an anonymous user profile collected by means of cookies and merge your notification ID with the user profile of the website solely for the purpose of personalised messaging. Tracking technology is also used for statistical analysis of notifications on our behalf. This allows us to determine whether a notification has been delivered and whether it has been clicked on. The data generated in this way is processed and stored on our behalf by etracker GmbH from Hamburg, which provides the Signalize service, exclusively in Germany and is therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and standards. etracker has been independently audited and certified in this regard and is entitled to bear the ePrivacyseal.

The data processing for the purpose of triggering the invitation to the notification service as well as for the statistical analysis of the registration or objection is based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to make the notification service user-friendly and effective. Since the privacy of our visitors is very important to us, data that may allow a reference to an individual person, such as the IP address, login or device identifiers, are anonymised as early as possible. A direct reference to a person is thus excluded. The data will not be used in any other way, merged with other data or passed on to third parties.

You can object to the data processing described above at any time.


Job Applications

We process personal data about you for the purpose of your application for employment, to the extent necessary for the decision to establish an employment relationship with us. The legal basis is § 26 para. 1 in conjunction with para. 8 sent. 2 BDSG.

Furthermore, we may process personal data about you, as far as this is required to defend against asserted legal claims from the application process against us. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, for example, the legitimate interest is a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Insofar as employment arises between you and us, pursuant to § 26 (1) BDSG we may further process the personal data you have already given to us for employment purposes if this is necessary for the performance or termination of the employment relationship or for performance or fulfillment of required by a law or collective agreement, an operating or service agreement (collective agreement) and duties of employee representation.

We process data related to your application. This may include general personal information (such as name, address and contact details), details of your qualifications and education, or CVET information, or other information that you provide to us in connection with your application. In addition, we may process publicly accessible, job-related information you provide, such as a profile on professional social media networks. We may transfer your personal data to companies affiliated with us, as far as this is permissible within the scope of the purposes and legal basis described above.

A transfer to a third country is not intended.

We store your personal data as long as this is necessary to decide on your application. Insofar as an employment relationship between you and us does not come about, we may also continue to store data as far as necessary to defend against possible legal claims. The application documents will be deleted three months after notification of the rejection decision, unless a longer storage due to litigation is required. With your separate consent, we will store your data for up to 12 months from your consent in order to be able to take your application into consideration again, if necessary, for any later eligible positions.

The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract, nor are you required to provide the personal data. However, the provision of personal information is required to enter into a contract of employment with us. This means that unless you provide us with personal data when applying, we will not enter into any employment relationship with you.
