Data collection on this website

The use of this website is possible without providing personal data with the exception of the IP address (see below "Log files"). Should you use the contact options provided, the associated data (name and e-mail address or telephone number) will be retained for the purpose of communication. You can have this data deleted by us at any time. Your data will not be passed on to third parties. We would like to point out that communication via the Internet is generally insecure and it cannot be guaranteed that third parties will not read it. We therefore offer to secure e-mails by means of public key encryption. However, the metadata for this communication then remains unencrypted.

Data collection at the conclusion of the contract

The transmission of personal data to third parties only takes place if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract. Further transmission to third parties will only take place if you have expressly consented to this. After fulfillment of the contract or after the end of the business relationship, personal data will be deleted after expiration of the statutory retention periods. The basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which allows the transfer of data for the purpose of fulfilling the contract or for the execution of pre-contractual measures.

Customer Relationship Management

We use the CRM system "Pipedrive" based on our legitimate interests (efficient and fast processing of inquiries as well as cross-company communication and documentation with our customers). Your data required for processing (e-mail address, telephone number, first and last name, job title and contents of e-mails) are transferred to our CRM system when we manually add you as a contact person or you are in an e-mail conversation with an existing contact as the addressee.

The contractual partner for all EU customers is Estonian Pipedrive OÜ, Pipedrive OÜ, Mustamäe tee 3a, 10615 Tallinn Estonia. Estonia is part of the EU and must therefore comply with the Community data protection regulations.

Information and deletion rights

You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your personal data stored by us at any time and free of charge. Furthermore, you have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this purpose, you can either contact the responsible office directly or the appointed data protection officer. You also have a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. In our case, this is the State Data Protection Commissioner of Hamburg, as our company is based here. (https://datenschutz-hamburg.de)

Weglot translation tool

Weglot does not set cookies on your website. Weglot only sets a local variable ('wglang') to store the language setting. Weglot does not collect any data from users.

"Wglang" is just the current language setting that allows Weglot to keep the visitor's preferred version during navigation, so that the visitor can keep the translated version while switching pages.

Weglot does not collect any personal data from users or IP addresses. Weglot's servers are located in Germany (Frankfurt) and hosted by Amazon (AWS). Weglot stores the translations, which means the entire text of your website as well as the translated version.

Weglot also uses DataDog, a large-scale cloud application monitoring service that allows you to monitor servers, databases, tools, and services through a data analytics-based SaaS platform. It is a script that displays error logs in your console, which offers no real benefit to you or your users, but helps us with Weglot issues. The cookie that is placed on the user's computer is "_dd_s".

Note that Weglot is fully DSGVO and GDPR compliant, as can be read in Weglot's privacy policy: https://weglot.com/privacy/

Analysis and tracking tools

No analysis or tracking tools are used. No personal cookies are used. No social media plugins are installed.

Transport encryption

This website uses SSL encryption as transport encryption to protect confidential content. This is indicated in the browser address bar by the "https://" instead of a "http://" at the beginning of the web address.

Log files (cookies)

The provider of the pages collects and stores information automatically transmitted by your browser in so-called server log files. These are browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request and IP address. This data is recorded to ensure the operation of the website. The basis for this data processing is Art 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. This data is not merged with other data sources and is not passed on to third parties.

Notes for applicants

Personal data that you provide to us in the course of an application will be processed by us on the basis of Art 6 (1) b DSGVO (pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject). After completion of the application process, your data will be kept by us for another 3 months and deleted after this period. This is done on the basis of Art 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interest) as a defense against alleged legal claims. Only our HR department, the management and the heads of the relevant departments have access to your applicant data; it is not passed on to third parties. As a rule, we do not require any special categories of data to assess your application. Should you add such information voluntarily (e.g. in the case of severe disability), it will be processed together with the other information. The rights to information and deletion described further above also apply to applications. Personal data is secured by us using state-of-the-art measures.

Objection to advertising e-mails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
