9. Provision of the website and creation of log files
Each time our website is accessed, the provider of our website automatically collects and stores a series of general data and information that your browser automatically transmits in so-called log files.
The server automatically logs:
- information about the browser and version used
- the operating system of the user
- the IP address of the user
- date and time of the call
This data is not stored in our system, but on the server of our provider. We do not have access to the stored log files and cannot evaluate them.

10. Use of cookies
Some of our Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user‘s computer system. Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies con- tain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This ena- bles the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. Cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website.
So-called „session cookies“ are predominantly used on our site. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. We do not use cookies that enable an analysis of the user‘s surfing behavior. Cookies are stored on the user‘s computer and transmitted from it to our website. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies.

Plug-ins of the social network Facebook are integrated on our website. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information.
Among other things, Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.
Facebook‘s operating company is Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Par, CA 94025, USA. If a user lives outside the USA or Canada, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin2, Ireland, is responsible for processing personal data.
We have entered into a joint processing agreement (Controller Addendum) with Facebook. This agreement specifies the data processing operations for which we or Facebook is responsible when you visit our FacebookPage. You can view this agreement at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.
You can recognize the Facebook plug-ins by the Facebook logo or the „Like button“ („Like“) on our page. Each time one of the individual pages of our website is called up, the Internet browser on the user‘s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers. facebook.con/docs/plugins/?locale=deDE.
As part of this technical process, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the user.
If the user is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific sub-page of our website is visited each time our website is accessed and for the entire duration of the user‘s respective stay on our website.
This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the user. If the user confirms a Facebook button integrated on our website, the user of the pages can link the content of our pages on his Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to assign the visit to our pages to your user account and store this personal data.
We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook.
If you do not want Facebook to be able to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook user account, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your Facebook account before calling up our website.

16. Privacy policy on the use and application of YouTube
Our website uses plug-ins from the YouTube site operated by Google. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows vi- deo publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.
The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
By calling up one of the individual pages of our website on which a YouTube component has been integrated (YouTube video), the Internet browser on the user‘s information technology system is automatically caused by the respective You- Tube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further infor- mation on YouTube can be found at https://www>.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. Within the scope of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the user.
If the user is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific sub-page is visited when a sub- page containing a YouTube video is called up. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the user.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that our website has been visited if the user is logged into YouTube at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the user clicks on a YouTube video or not.
Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud attempts. The cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them.
If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.
If you do not wish such transmission, you can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our website.

When exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, the data subject shall have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right under paragraph 1 of this Article shall be without prejudice to Article 17 of the GDPR.

17.8 Right to revoke consent under data protection law
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Tel. 0711-615541-0
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by e-mail or post). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collec- tion, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail.
18.1 Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, applica- tion documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 DSG-neu under German law (initiation of an employ- ment relationship), Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO (general initiation of a contract) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6
(1) lit. a DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG-neu and Art 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
18.2 Retention period of the data
If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for us on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO) for up to 6
months from the termination of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impen- ding or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your corresponding consent (Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO) or if legal sto- rage obligations prevent deletion.
19. Data security and changes to the privacy policy
The transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, we can therefore not guarantee the security of data transmitted via the Internet to our website despite the protection of our Internet presence and our other facilities with which data is determined to us by appropriate technical and organizational measures against loss of availability, confidentiality or integrity. In this respect, reference is also made to section 10 of this data protection declaration.
We reserve the right to change this data protection declaration in part or in full at any time with effect for the future. The current status of our data protection declaration can be viewed on our website.
