Who is responsible for data collection on this website? Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details on the website's imprint.

How do we collect your data? Your data is collected, on the one hand, when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data you enter in a contact form.

Other data is automatically collected anonymously by our IT systems when you visit the website. This includes data about your visit to our website (e.g., length of stay, country of origin, or type of internet browser). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for? Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse user behaviour.

What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request this data's correction, blocking, or deletion. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint for this purpose and other questions regarding data protection. Furthermore, you can complain to the responsible supervisory authority.

You also have the right to request the restriction of processing of your data under certain circumstances. For details, see the "Right to Restriction of Processing" section of the Privacy Policy.

Analysis tools and third-party tools When you visit our website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is done primarily with the help of cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your browsing behavior is generally anonymous; related data cannot be traced back to you.

You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information about these tools and your options for opting out can be found in the following privacy policy.

Revocation of your consent to data processing? Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your previously granted consent at any time. To do so, send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing up to the revocation time remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection (Art. 21 GDPR)? If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. This privacy policy can be found on the legal basis for processing. If you object, we will no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms (objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing personal data concerning you for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to data portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption? For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, third parties cannot read the data you send to us.

Information, blocking, deletion and correction? Within the scope of applicable law, you have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, the purpose of data processing, and the right to correct, block, or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice if you have any questions about this or other questions regarding personal data.

Right to restriction of processing. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. You have the right to request that the processing of your data be restricted while we verify your claim.

If processing your data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your data, but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your data be restricted instead of deleted.

If you have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests must be weighed against ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your data, this data may – except its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to advertising emails? The use of contact information published following the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and only to accept cookies on a case-by-case basis, to exclude cookies for specific cases or in general, and to delete cookies when you close your browser automatically.

Vimeo? Our website uses Vimeo to deliver video content. Vimeo is a video service provided by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

Vimeo uses cookies and similar technologies to give you the best possible video experience on our website. These cookies are necessary to ensure the video content loads and plays correctly. We also use Vimeo's "do-not-track" feature to protect your privacy.

What does Vimeo's "do-not-track" feature mean? When you visit our website and use the Vimeo video player, we enable Vimeo's "do-not-track" feature. This means that Vimeo does not collect any session or analytical data from your visit to our website. This excludes your IP address, browser information, location data, and similar information. We have enabled this feature to respect your privacy and ensure your interaction with Vimeo video content is as anonymous as possible.

What cookies does Vimeo use? Vimeo may set several types of cookies to enhance your video experience. These include necessary cookies for playing videos and performance cookies that help optimise video quality and load times. However, due to the activation of the "do-not-track" feature, Vimeo does not collect cookies for tracking or analytics during your interaction with the video player on our website.

How can you manage Vimeo cookies? You can control the use of Vimeo cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that disabling necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Vimeo video player on our website.

By using our website and the Vimeo video player, you agree to the use of cookies by this Cookie Statement.

Server log files? Our website's web server and host automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes: 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 will not be merged with other data sources.

This data is collected based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact form? If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us to process your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form will therefore be processed exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the data storage purpose no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular, retention periods—remain unaffected.

Inquiry by email, telephone or fax If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us to process your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

This data is processed based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us.

The data you send to us via contact request will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the data storage purpose no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular, statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Register on this website? You can register on our website to use additional features. We will only use the data you enter to use the respective offer or service you have registered for. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.

For essential changes, such as changes to the scope of our services or technically necessary changes, we will use the email address you provided during registration to inform you.

The data entered during registration is processed based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of any data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

WPMU DEV Analytics? Our website uses WPMU DEV Analytics, a privacy-friendly analysis tool from Incsub LLC (USA). The provider operates GDPR-compliant servers in the EU. The analysis is carried out anonymously and without the use of cookies. No personal data, particularly IP addresses, is stored or passed on to third parties. The analysis aims to improve the technical performance and user-friendliness of the website. Since no personal data is processed, no consent is required. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Further information can be found in WPMU DEV's privacy policy: https://wpmudev.com/privacy/

Processing of data (customer and contract data)? We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary to establish, define, or modify the legal relationship (master data). This is done based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits data processing to fulfil a contract or for pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill them.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transfer when concluding a contract for online shops, retailers and shipping of goods? We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example, to the company entrusted with delivering the goods or the credit institution responsible for processing the payment. Data will not be transferred to any other parties unless you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example, for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfil a contract or for pre-contractual measures.

Data transfer upon conclusion of a contract for services and digital content? We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the agreement, for example, to the credit institution responsible for payment processing. Data will not be transferred to any other party unless you have consented. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example, for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfil a contract or for pre-contractual measures.

Applications? We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). Below, we will inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will be carried out in compliance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.

Scope and purpose of data collection? If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and—if you have given your consent—Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. This consent can be revoked at any time. Your data will only be passed on within our company to people involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems based on Section 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR to implement the employment relationship.

Data retention period If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, withdraw your application, revoke your consent to data processing or request us to delete the data, the data you have submitted, including any remaining physical application documents, will be saved or stored for a maximum of 6 months after completion of the application process (retention period) to be able to understand the details of the application process in the event of discrepancies (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

You can object to this storage if your legitimate interests outweigh ours.

After the retention period has expired, the data will be deleted unless there is a statutory retention obligation or other legal reason for continued storage. Suppose it is apparent that your data retention will be necessary after the retention period has expired (e.g., due to impending or pending legal proceedings). In that case, deletion will only occur when the data has become irrelevant. Other statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
