The controller decides, either alone or jointly with others, on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Certain data processing operations are only possible with your express consent.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract transferred to you or to a third party.
The data will be provided in a machine-readable format.
If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Right to access, rectification, restriction and erasure
You have the right, at any time and in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, to obtain information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified, restricted or erased. In this regard, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the legal notice.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This ensures that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties.
You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” in your browser’s address bar and the padlock symbol in the browser bar.
Contact form & email
Data transmitted via the contact form or by email, including your contact details, is stored so that we can process your enquiry or be available to answer any follow-up questions.
This data will not be passed on without your consent.
The processing of data entered into the contact form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
You may withdraw your consent at any time.
An informal email is sufficient to withdraw your consent. The lawfulness of data processing operations carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or there is no longer any need to store the data.
Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Application form
(1) Furthermore, we collect and use your name, your address (street, house number, postcode, town), your telephone number and your email address as part of the application form on our website, which you use voluntarily. These are mandatory fields marked with an asterisk, which are necessary for us to process your application. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. We do not require any additional information regarding your application, such as job title, cover letter, CV, qualifications, references and other attachments, in order to process your application. However, providing this information may simplify and optimise the processing.
(2) We will delete the data collected in connection with the use of the application form once storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if statutory retention obligations apply.
Use of Cookies
(1) We use ‘cookies’ on our website in the form of so-called ‘session cookies’, which are stored temporarily solely for the duration of your visit to our website. Cookies are small text files that enable us to store specific, user-related information on your computer whilst you are visiting our website. Cookies help us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our website, as well as to design our services for you to be as secure, convenient and efficient as possible. Cookies enable our systems to recognise the user’s device and make any preferences immediately available. As soon as a user accesses the platform, a cookie is transferred to the hard drive of the user’s computer. Cookies help us to improve our website and offer you a better service that is even more tailored to your needs. They enable us to recognise your computer when you return to our website.
A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie data was sent, as well as information about the cookie’s age and an alphanumeric identifier.
The cookies we use store only the data described above regarding your use of the website. This is not done by linking the data to you personally, but by assigning an identification number to the cookie (‘cookie ID’). The cookie ID is not linked to your name, your IP address or similar data that would enable the cookie to be linked to you.
(2) If you do not wish to use cookies, you can set your browser so that it does not accept the storage of cookies, restricts this to certain pages, or informs you as soon as a cookie is about to be set. Please note that in this case, you may only be able to use our website to a limited extent or not at all. If you wish to accept only our own cookies, but not those of our service providers and partners, you can select the setting “Block third-party cookies” in your browser.
Server log files
To ensure the functionality of the website, the website provider collects information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically, and stores this data for three days. This includes:
- IP address
- Time
- “Request”
- Status code
- Bytes transferred
- “User agent”
This data cannot be attributed to a specific individual. This data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to have this data reviewed retrospectively if we have concrete evidence suggesting unlawful use.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is carried out by a human or by an automated programme. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g. IP address, the 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 notified that an analysis is taking place.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated scraping and from spam.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
PLEASE NOTE: There is currently no adequacy decision by the European Commission confirming an adequate level of data protection in the USA within the meaning of Article 45 of the GDPR. Furthermore, as the data controller, we have not currently put in place any safeguards within the meaning of Article 46 of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the USA. By giving your consent, you therefore voluntarily accept the risk of inadequate data protection in the recipient country.
Use of Matomo
(1) On this website, we use the web analytics service Matomo to analyse and evaluate the use of our website. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.
(2) We operate Matomo in a version that does not require cookies. Therefore, no Matomo cookies are stored on your computer for the purpose of web analytics. To analyse website usage, your IP address and information such as timestamps, pages visited and your language settings are collected. We store the information collected in this way on our server.
This website uses Matomo with the ‘AnonymizeIP’ extension. This ensures that IP addresses are processed in a truncated form, thereby ruling out any direct personal identification. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is not combined with other data collected by us. The legal basis for the use of Matomo is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
(3) You can prevent the use of Matomo by ticking the following box to activate the opt-out plug-in.
In this case, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser, which prevents Matomo from storing usage data. If you delete your cookies, this will also result in the Matomo opt-out cookie being deleted. The opt-out must be reactivated when you visit our site again.
