The following is an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR, on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that, in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection requirements may apply in your or our country of residence or place of residence. Should more specific legal bases also apply in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.
The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for a specific purpose or several specific purposes.
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.
Processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail.
If, as part of the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants so that the person responsible or the data subject can exercise the rights conferred on him or her under employment law and social security and social protection law and fulfill his or her obligations in this regard, their processing is carried out in accordance with Article 9 (2) lit. b. GDPR, in case of protection vital interests of applicants or other persons in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c. GDPR or for health care or occupational medicine purposes, for the assessment of the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h. GDPR. In the case of communication of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing is carried out on the basis of Article 9 (2) lit. a. GDPR.
• Processing of special categories of personal data relating to healthcare, employment and social security (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h) GDPR).
• Consent to the processing of special categories of personal data (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR).
• Processing of special categories of personal data to protect vital interests (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c) GDPR).
In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany. This includes in particular the Act on Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act — BDSG). In particular, the BDSG contains special rules on the right to information, the right to deletion, the right of objection, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission and automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. In addition, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.
If you are in Switzerland, we process your data on the basis of the Federal Data Protection Act (“Swiss DSG” for short). This also applies if our processing of your data otherwise affects you in Switzerland and you are affected by the processing. In principle, the Swiss DSG does not provide (unlike, for example, the GDPR) that a legal basis for processing personal data must be specified. We only process personal data if the processing is lawful, carried out in good faith and is proportionate (Article 6 (1) and (2) of the Swiss Data Protection Act). Furthermore, personal data is only obtained by us for a specific purpose that is identifiable to the data subject and only processed in such a way that it is compatible with these purposes (Article 6 (3) of the Swiss DSG).
This data protection notice is intended both to provide information in accordance with the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (Swiss DSG) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, please note that the terms of the GDPR are used due to the wider geographical application and comprehensibility. In particular, instead of the terms “processing” of “personal data”, “overriding interest” and “particularly sensitive personal data” used in the Swiss DSG, the terms “processing” of “personal data” as well as “legitimate interest” and “special categories of data” are used. However, within the scope of the Swiss DSG, the legal meaning of the terms continues to be determined in accordance with the Swiss DSG.
In accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transfer, availability and separation of data relating to it. We have also set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and responses to the data being compromised. In addition, we take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through privacy-friendly default settings.
TLS/SSL encryption (https): To protect users' data that is transferred via our online services, we use TLS/SSL encryption. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard technology for securing Internet connections by encrypting data transferred between a website or app and a browser (or between two servers). Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an updated and more secure version of SSL. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate
As part of our processing of personal data, the data may be transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons or disclosed to them. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers tasked with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.
Data transfer within the group of companies: We may transfer personal data to other companies within our group of companies or grant them access to this data. If this transfer is made for administrative purposes, the transfer of data is based on our legitimate entrepreneurial and business interests or takes place where it is necessary to fulfill our contract-related obligations or if the data subject has the consent of the person concerned or a legal permission.
Data transfer within the organization: We may transfer personal data to other places within our organization or give them access to that data. If this transfer is for administrative purposes, the transfer of the data is based on our legitimate entrepreneurial and business interests or takes place where it is necessary to fulfill our contract-related obligations or if the data subject has the consent of the person concerned or a legal permission.
The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements as soon as their consent permitted for processing is withdrawn or other permits no longer apply (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to apply or they are not necessary for the purpose). Unless the data is deleted because it is necessary for other and legally permitted purposes, its processing will be limited to these purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person. As part of our data protection policy, we can provide users with further information about the deletion and storage of data that applies specifically to the respective processing process.
Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you are entitled to various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Articles 15 to 21 GDPR:
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether the relevant data is being processed and for information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with legal requirements.
In accordance with legal requirements, you have the right to request the completion of the data concerning you or the correction of incorrect data concerning you.
In accordance with legal requirements, you have the right to request that data concerning you be deleted immediately or, alternatively, to request that the processing of the data be restricted in accordance with legal requirements.
You have the right to receive data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format in accordance with legal requirements or to request that it be transmitted to another person responsible.
In accordance with legal requirements and without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular a supervisory authority in the Member State in which you habitually reside, the supervisory authority of your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data relating to you is contrary to the GDPR.
Rights of data subjects under the Swiss DSG:
As a data subject, you have the following rights in accordance with the requirements of the Swiss DSG:
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed and to receive the information that is necessary so that you can assert your rights under this Act and to ensure transparent data processing.
You have the right to request the release of your personal data, which you have provided to us, in a standard electronic format.
You have the right to request that incorrect personal data concerning you be corrected.
You have the right to object to the processing of your data and to request that the personal data relating to you be deleted or destroyed
Cookies are small text files or other memory notes that store information on end devices and read information from the end devices. For example, to save the login status in a user account, a shopping cart content in an e-shop, the content accessed or functions used on an online offer. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as the functionality, security and convenience of online offerings and the preparation of analyses of visitor flows.
We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. We therefore obtain prior consent from users, unless this is required by law. In particular, consent is not required if the storage and reading of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary to provide users with a telemedia service (i.e. our online offering) that they have expressly requested. Strictly necessary cookies usually include cookies with functions that serve to display and run the online offer, load balancing, security, storage of users' preferences and choices, or similar purposes related to providing the main and ancillary functions of the online offer requested by users. The revocable consent is clearly communicated to users and contains information on the respective use of cookies.
The legal basis on which data protection law we process users' personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is their declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in operating our online offering and improving its usability) or, if this is done as part of fulfilling our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations. We will explain the purposes for which we process cookies in the course of this privacy policy or as part of our consent and processing processes.
With regard to storage time, the following types of cookies are differentiated:
Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed their device (e.g. browser or mobile application).
Permanent cookies remain stored even after the end device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. User data collected with the help of cookies can also be used to measure reach. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage period of cookies (e.g. when obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.
Users can withdraw their consent at any time and object to processing in accordance with legal requirements. For this purpose, users can, among other things, restrict the use of cookies in their browser settings (although this may also restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via the websites [https://optout.aboutads.info](https://optout.aboutads.info/) and [https://www.youronlinechoices.com/](https://www.youronlinechoices.com/).

Insofar as special categories of personal data (Article 9 (1) GDPR, e.g. health data, such as status of persons with severe disabilities or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, they are processed so that the person responsible or the data subject can exercise the rights conferred on him or her under employment law and social security and social protection law and fulfill his or her obligations in this regard, in the event of protecting the applicant's vital interests or of other persons or for health care or occupational medicine purposes, for the assessment of the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, for care or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector.
The application process requires that applicants provide us with the data necessary for their assessment and selection. What information is required is derived from the job description or, in the case of online forms, from the information provided there.
In principle, the required information includes personal information, such as the name, address, a contact option and evidence of the qualifications required for a position. On request, we are also happy to inform you which information is required.
If provided, applicants can send us their applications using an online form. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art. Applicants can also send us their applications via email. However, please note that emails on the Internet are generally not sent in encrypted form. As a rule, emails are encrypted during transport, but not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We can therefore assume no responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and receipt on our server.
For purposes of searching for applicants, submitting applications and selecting applicants, we may use applicant management or recruitment software and platforms and services from third-party providers in compliance with legal requirements.
Applicants are welcome to contact us about how to submit their application or send us the application by post.
Insofar as special categories of personal data (Article 9 (1) GDPR, e.g. health data, such as status of disabled persons or ethnic origin) are requested from or provided by applicants as part of the application process, they are processed so that the person responsible or the data subject can exercise the rights arising from employment law and social security and social protection law and fulfill his or her obligations in this regard, in the event of protection vitally important interests of applicants or other persons or for health care or occupational medicine purposes, for the assessment of the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, for care or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector.
In the event of a successful application, the data provided by applicants may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicants' data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time. Subject to justified withdrawal by applicants, the deletion will take place no later than after the expiry of a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and comply with our obligations to provide evidence under the rules on equal treatment of applicants. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses are archived in accordance with tax requirements.

We use software services accessible via the Internet and run on their providers' servers (so-called “cloud services”, also known as “software as a service”) to store and manage content (e.g. document storage and management, exchange of documents, content and information with specific recipients or publication of content and information).
Within this framework, personal data may be processed and stored on the providers' servers, insofar as this is part of communication processes with us or is otherwise processed by us as set out in this privacy policy. This data may include, in particular, master data and contact details of users, data on processes, contracts, other processes and their content. Cloud service providers also process usage data and metadata, which are used by them for security purposes and service optimization.

Web analysis (also known as “reach measurement”) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offering and may include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of reach analysis, we can, for example, identify at what time our online offering or its functions or content are used most frequently or invite them to be reused. We can also understand which areas need optimization.
In addition to web analysis, we can also use test methods to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components, for example.
Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e. data summarized for a usage process, can be created for these purposes and information can be stored in a browser or in a terminal device and read from it. The information collected includes in particular websites visited and elements used there, as well as technical information, such as the browser used, the computer system used and information on usage times. If users have agreed to the collection of their location data with us or with the providers of the services we use, location data may also be processed.
The IP addresses of users are also stored. However, we use an IP masking process (i.e. pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, as part of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no clear user data (such as email addresses or names) is stored, but pseudonyms. This means that we as well as the providers of the software used do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective processes.

IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address).
We integrate functional and content elements into our online offering, which are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These may include, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).
Integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the users' IP addresses, as they would not be able to send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content or functions. We make every effort to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third parties can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information, such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and the operating system, referring websites, the time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

Purchase of fonts (and symbols) for the purpose of technically safe, maintenance-free and efficient use of fonts and symbols with regard to timeliness and loading times, their uniform presentation and taking into account possible licensing restrictions. The provider of the fonts is provided with the user's IP address so that the fonts can be made available in the user's browser. In addition, technical data (language settings, screen resolution, operating system, hardware used) are transmitted, which are necessary to provide the fonts depending on the devices used and the technical environment. This data can be processed on a server operated by the font provider in the USA - When visiting our online offering, users' browsers send their browser HTTP requests to the Google Fonts Web API (i.e. a software interface for retrieving fonts). The Google Fonts Web API provides users with the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) from Google Fonts and then the fonts specified in CCS. These HTTP requests include (1) the IP address used by the respective user to access the Internet, (2) the requested URL on the Google server, and (3) the HTTP headers, including the user agent, which describes the browser and operating system versions of the website visitors, and the referral URL (i.e. the web page on which the Google font is to be displayed). IP addresses are neither logged nor stored on Google servers and are not analyzed. The Google Fonts Web API logs details of HTTP requests (requested URL, user agent, and referral URL). Access to this data is restricted and strictly controlled. The requested URL identifies the font families for which the user wants to load fonts. This data is logged so that Google can determine how often a specific font family is requested. With the Google Fonts Web API, the user agent must adapt the font that is generated for the respective browser type. The user agent is primarily logged for debugging and used to generate aggregate usage statistics that measure the popularity of font families. These summarized usage statistics are published on the Google Fonts “Analytics” page. Finally, the referral URL is logged so that the data can be used to maintain production and generate an aggregate report on the top integrations based on the number of font requests. According to its own information, Google does not use any of the information collected by Google Fonts to create profiles of end users or to display targeted ads;

This section provides an overview of the terms used in this privacy statement. Insofar as the terms are defined by law, their legal definitions apply. The following explanations, on the other hand, are primarily intended for understanding.
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g. cookie) or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, are the cultural or social identity of that natural person.
The processing of “profiles with user-related information”, or “profiles” for short, comprises any type of automated processing of personal data, which consists of using this personal data to analyze, evaluate or predict certain personal aspects relating to a natural person (depending on the type of profiling, this may include different information regarding demographics, behavior and interests, such as interaction with websites and their content, etc.) (e.g. interests in specific content or products, click behavior on a website or location). Cookies and web beacons are often used for profiling purposes.
Reach measurement (also known as web analytics) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to an online offer and can include visitors' behavior or interests in certain information, such as the content of websites. With the help of reach analysis, operators of online offers can, for example, recognize at what time users visit their websites and what content they are interested in. This allows them, for example, to better adapt the content of the websites to the needs of their visitors. Pseudonymous cookies and web beacons are often used for audience analysis purposes to recognize returning visitors and thus obtain more detailed analyses of the use of an online offer.
“Responsible person” is the natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body which, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.
“Processing” means any process carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures or any such series of processes in connection with personal data. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data, whether collection, evaluation, storage, transmission or deletion.
