Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is used to verify whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is provided by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor accesses the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, length of time the website visitor spends on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that such an analysis is taking place.
The storage and analysis of the data are carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web services against abusive automated spying and against spam. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
Further information about Google reCAPTCHA can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Terms of Service at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/terms.
The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing carried out in the United States. Any company certified under the DPF commits to complying with these data protection standards. Further information can be obtained from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
Data Processing Agreement
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that personal data of our website visitors is processed only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
- Our Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by e-mail, by post, or via an online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected in the context of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data is treated with strict confidentiality.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company only with persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Retention Period of Data
If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Subsequently, the data will be deleted and any physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention primarily serves as proof in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or imminent legal dispute), deletion will only occur once the purpose for further retention has ceased.
Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
