Protection of your data

There’s no 100% protection

Data processing via the internet is always prone to security flaws.

This is why we make an effort of securing your data from unauthorised access and notice of third parties according to the best available technology and as far as it is viable for us.

 

SSL- respectively TLS-encryption

One of those security measures is the TLS-encryption (also known under the old designation „SSL“) of our website. Encryption secures your data during the data procession from unauthorised access by third parties. An active encryption can be recognised by the „https://” in your browsers address line and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

Security monitoring and auditing

For reasons of security monitoring and auditing, we compile a data protocol about how our website is used by those who have or want to gain access to it. This information will be collected by us for security and auditing reasons and is stored for 30 days.

This includes:

IP-address of the user, logging on and off of a user, changing content and files, errors when trying to log in, manually locked users as well as trying to access content that is non-existent.

To protect from so-called Brute-Force-Attacks, the IP-Address is sent to spammer databases to check data.

The information recorded will only be retrieved by administrators of the website and saved in the database of the website. They won’t be processed to third parties, except from law enforcement agencies.

Those data are stored because we have a legitimate interest in protecting our website from attacks and because we want to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of your data processed via this website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Data collection on our website

Collection of general information

By using our website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. Our website can generally be visited without registration. In the process, data such as pages called up or the name of the file called up, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address are collected as far as possible on a voluntary basis. Without your consent, the data will not be passed on to third parties.

We expressly point out that data transmission over the Internet (eg communication by e-mail) security gaps and can not be completely protected against access by third parties.

The use of the contact data of our imprint for commercial advertising is expressly not desired, unless we had previously given our written consent or a business relationship already exists. The provider and all persons named on this website hereby object to any commercial use and disclosure of their data.

Personal data

You can visit our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address or e-mail address) is collected on our pages, this is done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. If a contractual relationship is to be established between you and us, or its content is to be developed or changed, or if you send us an inquiry, we collect and use personal data from you to the extent necessary for these purposes (inventory data). We collect, process and use personal data to the extent necessary to enable you to use the website (usage data). All personal data will only be stored as long as it is necessary for the stated purpose (processing your request or processing a contract). In this context, retention periods under tax and commercial law are taken into account. By order of the competent authorities, we may provide information about this data (inventory data) in individual cases, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger, to fulfill the statutory tasks of the constitution protection authorities or the Military Counter-Intelligence Service or to enforce intellectual property rights.

Registration on our website/contact form

As a rule, your data is collected when you voluntarily provide it to us.

In some cases, however, your data is also collected automatically when you call up the website. Some of this data is collected so that the website can be provided as error-free as possible.

Other automatically collected data is used for analysis and compilation of statistics. As far as possible, these are stored and processed anonymously, so that it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person.

Server Log Files

The provider where we host this website collects and saves the following information about visitors of this website automatically in the so-called server log files. Those files render useful services to recognise security incidents or problems with system operation. They are also helpful at audits and forensic investigations.

The following data are collected and stored:

  • Type and version of the browser
  • Operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server inquiry
  • IP-Adress

These data are processed particularly for the following reasons:

  • Securing a smooth connection establishment of the website
  • Securing a smooth usage of our website
  • Evaluation of system security and stability and
  • Further administrative purposes.

There will be no combination of this data with other data sources. These data won’t be used to draw conclusions about your person but maybe for statistical analysis by us to optimise our internet presence and the technology behind it.

These data will be deleted when they are no longer needed for surveying. Data that are used for providing this website are usually deleted after finishing a session.

Basis for the data processing is the processing for fulfilling a contract or arrangements precedent to a contract (Art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR) and because we have legitimate interest in a secure and stable service of our website (Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR).

If you send us an e-mail

Note: Data processing via the internet (including e-mails) is always prone to security flaws. A complete protection of data from third parties is therefore not possible.

If you send us an e-mail, we store these data as long as it is necessary for this purpose. The statutory retention period – which is six years for business letters (including e-mail and fax) according to § 256 HGB – is not affected by this.

Of course, we take care that your data is protected from unauthorised access and information by third parties according to the best available technology.

Contact form

If you contact us via the contact form, the processed data for handling your request and possible further questions are stored by us.

They will be stored untill the reason for data storage is dispensed or untill you request their deletion. Statutory retention periods are not affected by this.

Of course, we don’t forward those data to third parties without your consent.

Basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in ensuring a straightforward way for contacting us (Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR) as well as the processing for fulfilling a contract or arrangements precedent to a contract (Art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR) and because we have legitimate interest in a secure and stable service of our website (Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR).

Requesting a catalogue

If you request catalogues from us via the order form, the processed data for handling your request, sending the catalogues and possible further questions are stored by us.

They will be stored untill the reason for data storage is dispensed or untill you request their deletion. Statutory retention periods are not affected by this.

Of course, we don’t forward those data to third parties without your consent.

Basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in ensuring a straightforward way for contacting us (Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR) as well as the processing for fulfilling a contract or arrangements precedent to a contract (Art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR) and because we have legitimate interest in a secure and stable service of our website (Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR).

Job applications

We provide you with the opportunity to send us job applications (e.g. via e-mail, mail or via the online application form). We assure you that the collection, processing and usage of your data is according to applicable data protection law and all further legal requirements, and that we keep your data as strictly confidential.

Extent and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews etc.) insofar this is necessary for a decision about the reason of an employment relationship.

Basis for this data processing is the initiation of an employment relationship (§ 26 BDSG-neu), the general arrangements precedent to a contract (Art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR) and – if you gave your permission – your permission (Art. 6 para 1 lit. a GDPR). A given permission can be withdrawn at any time in the future.

Your personal data will be given solely to individuals in our company who are part of handling your application.

Provided your application is successful, the data you handed in will be used for the implementation of the employment relationship (§ 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR) in our data processing systems.
