In addition to the following explanations, you will find further information on data protection at Google in the Google data protection declaration: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google. 

Within the scope of application of the GDPR, this data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in an appealing website and in increasing our reach or based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. 

Google Analytics 

We use functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics on our website. Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site (see section 13.3). The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and Switzerland. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. 

The purpose of the data processing is to analyse the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the Internet, further associated services are then to be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator. 

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

Google Ads 

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an advert placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an advert placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. 

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com" are blocked. 

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again. 

Google Maps 

We use Google Maps on our website to display interactive maps and to provide directions. When you call up a web page on our website that has integrated Google Maps, your browser establishes a connection with the Google servers. In addition, Google Maps sets cookies (see above under section 13.3). By using Google Maps, various information (e.g. IP address, addresses entered, date and time of the website visit) can be transmitted to Google servers in the USA. 

You can find more information about data processing by Google here: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also change your personal data protection settings there in the data protection centre. Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here

General information about Google Maps can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/maps/about/#!/

Google Tag Manager 

Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus, for example, integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal user data. With regard to the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the following information on Google services. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Google reCAPTCHA 

We use Google reCAPTCHA. The associated query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether entries (e.g. in the contact form) are made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. According to Google, your IP address will be truncated beforehand within member states of the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information to analyse your use of the service. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data.

13.4.2. Meta 

We use selected tools from Meta. The provider of these tools is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland (hereinafter "Meta"). 

In addition to the following explanations, you will find further information on data protection at Meta in the Meta data protection declaration: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy  

We use the Meta pixel from Meta on our website. With the help of the Meta pixel or comparable tools, we want to optimise the customer experience by only displaying our services and products to those people who are interested in them.

It also allows us to track the effectiveness of adverts for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on an advert (known as "conversion tracking").

As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection is established to the YouTube servers (possibly also in the USA). In this context, YouTube learns which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you also allow YouTube to associate your surfing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. 

Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about you. According to YouTube, this serves, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behaviour. 

After the start of a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence. 

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google. You can find more information here: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms_dataprocessing.  

Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. 

13.7. Payment service provider 

We use external payment service providers to process payments via our website. When you make a payment, your payment details are forwarded to the respective payment service provider via an interface on our website in order to process the payment. 

The data processed by the payment service providers includes master data such as name and address, bank details (including account numbers or credit card numbers), passwords, TANs and checksums as well as contract data.

  • Information about your educational, professional and personal qualifications 
  • Information that we have collected as part of the application process (e.g. as part of assessments) 
  • Other information that you have sent to us in connection with your application 

We process your personal data in this regard for as long as this is necessary for the decision on your application. They will be deleted a maximum of six months after the end of the application process, unless longer storage is legally required or permitted or you have not consented to longer storage. 

If an employment relationship is established following the application process, your application documents will be transferred to your personnel file.
