We sometimes transfer data to companies in the US to have it processed there. For all these cases, the following applies:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to ensure as good data protection in the US as in the EU. This is why we hereby expressly point out the risks you face as a result of these data transfers: The risk is that, due to legislation in the US, American authorities (in particular, the secret services) may access your data. Opportunities for judicial remedy or information on the handling of your data from the US authorities are only possible to a very limited extent or not at all. For this reason, processing is carried out on the basis of your explicit consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The consequences of the withdrawal of your consent depend on the service in question and are described in the relevant section.
The sections below related to the companies we cooperate with in the US indicate which data is transferred.
We use services where personal data is transferred to the US and processed there. The services we currently use are described below in the relevant sections. The following applies equally to all these services:
There is no European Commission adequacy decision for data transfers to the US. Since, despite any standard contractual clauses agreed with the service provider, it is ultimately not possible to ensure a level of data protection that corresponds to that of the EU, we hereby expressly draw your attention to the risks you face as a result of such data transfer to the US: There is a risk that US authorities may gain access to the personal data on the basis of the PRISM and UPSTREAM surveillance programmes based on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), as well as on the basis of the Executive Order 12333 or Presidential Policy Directive 28. EU citizens have no effective means of legal protection against such access in the US or the EU. For this reason, processing is carried out on the basis of your explicit consent in accordance with Article 49(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time in accordance with Article (7)(3) GDPR. The consequences of the withdrawal of your consent depend on the service in question and are described in the relevant section. The relevant sections below also indicate which data is transferred.
Every time a user accesses a page from our website or calls up a file stored on our website, access data relating to this process are stored in a log file. Each dataset consists of:
(1) the page from which the file was requested,
(2) the name of the file,
(3) the date and time of the request,
(4) the amount of data transmitted,
(5) the access status (file transmitted, file not found, etc.),
(6) a description of the type of operating system and web browser used,
(7) the client IP address.
We use this data in order to operate our website, in particular to determine the utilisation of the website and website malfunctions, and to make adjustments or improvements. The client IP address is used for the purpose of transmitting the data requested; when no longer technically required, the client IP address will be rendered anonymous by deleting the last block of numbers (IPv4) or the last octet (IPv6).
The data mentioned in 1.a) are stored every time our website is accessed. They will be deleted when we no longer need them ‒ within ten weeks at the latest.
Data are stored every time a user accesses a page from our website or calls up our website; such data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of the collection, which is the case within ten weeks of the user’s last visit to the website at the latest.
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation allows us to process data in this way.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the aforementioned data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is to make available our website. It is not necessary to obtain consent to this data processing because otherwise this service could not be provided (in accordance with Section 25(2)(2) of the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), which is why Article 6(1)(a) GDPR also applies).
The data subject may object to processing. The personal data required to implement the objection (IP address and address details) shall then be stored by us for as long as the objection is maintained.
Information on cookies and data processing is displayed when you visit the site. You can then choose which cookies you accept and which you reject. You can also access the settings options at any time at the bottom of each page by clicking on the “Privacy settings” link.
Incidentally, if the “Do Not Track” setting is activated in your browser, this information will not be displayed and any non-essential processing will be blocked. In this case, you can still obtain information and unblock the site at any time by clicking on the “Privacy settings” link at the bottom of each page.
When you visit our website, small data packages are stored on your web browser (or on the device you use to visit our website). These are called cookies. With the help of these cookies, our website can tell that this web browser has already visited the page before. Any settings that may have been made can then be made again automatically (e.g. the selected language). Cookies also help us to adapt the pages to your preferences and to speed up the display of the page.
Data is processed even without cookies.
Services that transfer data to third countries that are not data secure are marked as “Non-EU”. Concerning this, see also „I. 3 Information on data transfer to the US“.

In order to make it technically possible to visit our website, we transmit so-called cookies to the data subject’s end device. Cookies are small text files that enable the data subject’s end device to be identified, usually by recording the name of the domain from which the cookie data was sent, information on the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier. Saving the cookie on the end device used – without interfering with the operating system – enables the end device to be recognised and allows us to make any possible presettings immediately available. We use this information to adapt our website and the services offered to your needs and to enable you to access our website more quickly.
In addition to cookies, other methods are also used to process personal data, such as the transmission of IP addresses and device fingerprinting.

You can find out which cookies are (possibly) set in the privacy settings.
You can delete our cookies from your browser / device at any time. Besides that, the cookies will also be deleted automatically after different lengths of time.
The different cookies are stored for different lengths of time; however, the maximum period is two years. Cookies are stored on your local end device, not on our server, which is why the actual deletion period depends on how your browser software is configured. Please refer to the operating instructions of your browser software to find out how to delete – either ad hoc or automatically – cookies that we have set.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) allow us to set cookies.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for a language switch) (essential cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of essential cookies in order to optimise and provide its services free of technical errors. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data subject may block the use of cookies in the end device used or delete these cookies after use. In some circumstances, however, it may not be possible to use the full functionality of our website. Please refer to the operating instructions of the browser software to find out how to block cookies and to delete cookies that have already been saved.
Application details are used solely for the application procedure.
We process the data provided to us in the context of applications only for the purpose of the application and an application procedure.
We provide an application form on our website. The data subject may use this application form to contact us electronically and submit their application documents. The following data is collected and stored: name, IP address, email address, curriculum vitae (with the contents determined freely by the data subject), possibly other documents such as cover letters, certificates/references, work samples, etc., and the date and time of the enquiry. The data is transferred directly to our application management, and is not stored in the portal.
If the applicant is hired, we will retain the data for the duration of employment. If the applicant is not hired, we will delete the data as soon as they are no longer required. This is typically the case after six months. If an application is withdrawn, we will also delete the data.
In the event of a successful application, we may further process applicants’ data for the purpose of the employment relationship. In the event of an unsuccessful application, applicants’ data will be deleted after the completion of the application process, unless we are entitled to store the data for a period of six months in order to answer any follow-up questions concerning the application and to comply with any obligations to provide supporting documents arising from the Act on Equal Treatment. If a candidate withdraws his or her application, the data will likewise be deleted.
The General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act govern the handling of data in application procedures.
The aforementioned data are stored only in compliance with our pre-contractual obligations in the context of the application procedure within the meaning of Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR and, where applicable, for purposes relating to the employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Where special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are communicated voluntarily, these are processed additionally in accordance with Article 9(2)(b) GDPR (e.g. data relating to health, such as severe disability status). Where special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are requested from applicants in the context of the application procedure, they will be processed additionally in accordance with Article 9(2)(a) GDPR (e.g. data relating to health, if these are necessary for the pursuit of an occupation).
You have the right to object to processing, and to request the erasure of data. It could be the case that legal provisions do not allow this. (For example, the requirement that application details must be retained in case of complaints under the Act on Equal Treatment. See also 3.b)
The possibility of objection and removal exists to the extent presented above.
When you contact us, we save the information you give us. This is the case regardless of how you contact us. We will not pass on your data.
Individuals may contact us by email, fax or phone. The data transferred to us in this way and specified by the data subject will be saved by us so that we can process the query. Such data includes the name, address, email address, phone and / or fax number, the date and time of the query, a description of the concern and, where applicable, contract data if the query is made in the context of preparing or executing a contract.
The data will not be divulged to third parties. It serves the purpose of processing the data subject’s contact enquiry.
When we no longer need the information relating to you which you gave us during our communication, we will delete it.
Once data are no longer required for achieving the purpose, they will be deleted. This is the case where the conversation has been successfully completed and the circumstances have been clarified, and no contractual or fiscal retention periods prevent such deletion. That period is five years for personal data that fall under Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) and ten years for personal data that fall under Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). These periods commence at the end of the calendar year in which the data were collected.
The legal basis for storing the aforementioned data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, only after the data subject has given his or her prior consent within the query; Article 6(1)(b) GDPR in the context of the initiation or performance of a contract; or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The controller’s legitimate interest is the ability to process contact enquiries and to prevent the abuse of contact enquiry. Since the data subject is able at any time to withdraw his or her consent, the legitimacy of the processing of personal data that took place on the basis of consent until its withdrawal is not affected.
The data subject may at any time withdraw the consent he or she gave to the processing and storage of data. Data stored with regard to this process will then be deleted.
The client IP address is recorded for the use of the Google Analytics service. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). The information generated by Google software on our site about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the US, where it is stored. Owing to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, however, the data subject’s IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within the Member States of the European Union and in other countries which are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases (according to Google) will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US first and then shortened. (However, it cannot be ruled out that Google will also process the unabridged IP address for its own purposes.) On the instructions of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide additional services relating to website and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser using Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. In addition to the IP address, Google also collects data about the device or browser, as well as website or app activity. This data is forwarded to the domain https://tagmanager.google.com/. From there, it is transmitted to our Google Analytics account. You can find out which cookies are (possibly) set in privacy settings.
Once the data is no longer needed to achieve the purpose, it will be deleted, which is the case when the anonymisation, which takes place within the European Union, has been completed. This takes less than one second. The data sent by us and that is linked to cookies, user identifications (e.g. user IDs) or advertising IDs will be deleted automatically after 14 months. Data that has reached its storage period is deleted automatically once a month. For more information, visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en. For the other data, Google sets a retention period depending on the reason for collection.

We will provide the data subject with a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies requested by the data subject, the controller may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs.
If the data we have relating to you are incorrect, we will be happy to rectify them.
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data relating to him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
You have the right to have your data deleted.
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data relating to him or her without undue delay and the controller has the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
a) the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

d) the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If your data are corrected or erased, or if their processing is restricted, we will notify all other organisations to which we have transmitted your data in the past. If you wish, we will of course also notify you of this.
If the data subject has exercised his or her right to rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing carried out in accordance with Article 16, Article 17(1) and Article 18 GDPR against the controller with regard to personal data relating to him or her, and if the controller has communicated to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed the data subject’s request (unless this proved impossible or involved disproportionate effort), then the data subject has the right to be informed about those recipients.
As a general rule, we will hand out to you the data we have relating to you. This applies to data where you have voluntarily agreed that they can be processed, or that we have received within a contract. In addition, this is only possible if the data can be processed by us automatically. You will receive the data from us in digital form. On request, we will also transmit these data to someone else.
The data subject has the right to receive the personal data relating to him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where
a) the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR; and
b) the processing is carried out by automated means.
The rights and freedoms of others may not be adversely affected as a result.
In exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible.
The exercise of the right to data portability is without prejudice to the right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR. The right to data portability does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
You can object at any time to data processing to which you have voluntarily agreed. We will then no longer process your data from the time of your objection.
The data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data relating to him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
We will no longer process the personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data relating to him or her for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Where the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.
Any consent granted by the data subject may be withdrawn by him or her at any time. Any collection and processing undertaken until such time remains, however, lawful.
We shall not make decisions concerning you based exclusively on automated means. People will also always be involved in decision-making processes. (Exceptions are legally possible.)
The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.
This does not apply if the decision
a) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and us,
b) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
Such decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to under points (a) and (c), we will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on our part, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority (e.g. to Lower Saxony State Data Protection) if you believe that we do not adhere to these data protection regulations.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes this Regulation. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR. The supervisory authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony (https://lfd.niedersachsen.de/startseite/).
You can, of course, lodge a complaint at any time if you believe that we have breached data protection legislation.
Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, each data subject has the right to an effective judicial remedy where he or she considers that his or her rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of his or her personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
Proceedings against us or a processor will be brought before the courts of the Member State where we or the processor have an establishment. Alternatively, such proceedings may be brought before the courts of the Member State where the data subject has his or her habitual residence, unless we or the processor is a public authority of a Member State acting in the exercise of its public powers.
