§5 Processing of data from your end devices

1. In addition to the above data, we use technical aids for various functions when you use our website, in particular cookies, which can be stored on your end device. When you call up our website and at any time later, you have the choice of whether you generally permit the setting of cookies or which individual additional functions you would like to select. You can make changes in your browser settings or via our Consent Manager. In the following, we first describe cookies from a technical point of view before we go into more detail about your individual choices by describing technically necessary cookies and cookies that you can voluntarily select or deselect.
   
   
2. Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you are using so that certain information can flow to the entity that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer, but are primarily used to make the website faster and more user-friendly. This website uses the following types of cookies, whose functionality and legal basis we will explain below:- Transient cookies: Such cookies, especially session cookies, are automatically deleted when the browser is closed or by logging out. They contain a so-called session ID. In this way, various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session and your computer can be recognized when you return to our website. – Persistent cookies: Such cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which is set differently depending on the cookie. You can view the cookies set and the durations at any time in the settings of your browser and delete the cookies manually.
   
   
3. Mandatory functions that are technically necessary for displaying the website: The technical structure of the website requires us to use technological features, in particular cookies. Without these technological features, our website cannot be displayed (completely and correctly) or the support functions could not be enabled. These are basically transient cookies that are deleted after the end of your website visit, at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot deselect these cookies if you wish to use our website. The individual cookies can be seen in the Consent Manager.If cookies are used, data processing is regularly based on your consent pursuant to § 25 (1) TTDSG (Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act) in conjunction with Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. If we consider the use of cookies to be absolutely necessary, the data processing is based on § 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. The further processing is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR.
   
   
4. Optional cookies when you give your consent: We set various cookies only after your consent, which you can select during your first visit to our website via the so-called cookie consent tool. The functions are only activated in the event of your consent and may serve in particular to enable us to analyze and improve visits to our website, to make it easier for you to use it via different browsers or terminal devices, to recognize you when you visit it again or to serve advertising (possibly also to orient advertising to interests, to measure the effectiveness of ads or to show interest-oriented advertising).The revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the permissibility of the processing until the revocation. The functions we use, which you can select and revoke individually via the Consent Manager, are described below.
   
   

§6 Applications

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. This data is processed on the basis of § 26 (1) Sentence 1 BDSG (decision on the establishment of an employment relationship). If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted five months after notification of rejection, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller prevent deletion. Other legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR may, for example, constitute a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equality Law (AGG). Please do not send us photos, details of marital status and other sensitive data. If your application is sent to us by email without encryption, it cannot be ruled out that a third party could gain access to the content of your email. If you feel that sending your application by email is too insecure, please send us your application documents by post.
