4. Purposes of data processing
The scope and nature of the collection, processing and use of your data depend on whether you visit our website merely to access generally available information or to make use of services beyond this. In principle, we process your personal data in the course of our business activities for pre-contractual or contractual purposes. In addition, the pursuit of our legitimate interests, your consent or compliance with legal requirements may also constitute the basis for our data processing. We provide information on the specific purposes of data processing in the sections below.
5. Legal basis for data processing
We process your personal data on the following legal bases:
- to fulfil pre-contractual or contractual obligations (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR)
- on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR)
- as part of a balancing of interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR)
- on the basis of legal requirements (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR)
6. Right to object
Where, following a balancing of interests, we process your personal data on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest (legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), you have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the data in question. However, we reserve the right to continue processing (with the exception of direct marketing; in this case, we will comply with your objection immediately) if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. This does not affect any further rights you may have as a data subject.
7. Use of our website for information purposes
When using our website purely for information purposes, you are generally not required to provide any personal data. Instead, when you visit our website, we only collect the data that your web browser automatically transmits to us, such as:
- Referrer (previously visited website)
- Webpage or file requested
- Browser type, browser version and your browser settings
- Operating system used
- Date and time of access
- IP address in anonymised form
- other similar data and information which serve to prevent threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
8. Use of our website for additional services
Online job applications
On our website, you have the option to apply to us online via a form, either as a speculative application or in response to a specific job vacancy. Personal data that you enter into our form is securely encrypted using state-of-the-art technology during transmission.
We process the personal data you provide via the form, including your application documents, on the basis of the consent you have given by confirming this before submitting your application. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is, in the case of your consent, Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, or Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR when processing your application as part of a pre-contractual relationship. The purpose of processing your personal data is to conduct a recruitment process. You may terminate the ongoing recruitment process at any time by withdrawing your consent.
The general statutory retention and deletion periods apply. We will delete your data in accordance with the relevant legal provisions once the respective recruitment process has been completed.
Applicants may also submit their applications to us via email. However, please note that emails sent over the internet are generally not encrypted. As a rule, whilst emails are encrypted during transmission, they are not encrypted on the servers from which they are sent and received. We are therefore unable to accept any responsibility for the transmission of the application between the sender and our server.
Other services
If you make use of any further services offered by our company via our website, you may be required to provide personal data for this purpose. The personal data required to provide the service is specified in the relevant input form or application. You may provide further details on a voluntary basis. You can tell which details are required and which are voluntary by the fact that mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*) or the note ‘mandatory field’. Your data is processed solely for the purpose of providing the service you have requested. You can find the legal basis for the processing of your personal data, as well as details of when your personal data will be deleted, in the description of the specific services.

We have secured our website and other systems against the loss, destruction, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure of your data by unauthorised persons through technical and organisational measures. In particular, the personal data you provide via the contact form is transmitted in encrypted form. We use the TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security) encryption system for this purpose.
13. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies or similar technologies for various purposes, e.g. to ensure the functionality, security and user-friendliness of our online services, as well as to analyse visitor traffic.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit our website. Similar technologies include so-called web storage techniques (also known as ‘local data’ and ‘local storage’); these store data locally in your browser’s memory (known as the ‘cache’). For the sake of clarity, we have grouped cookies and similar technologies together under the term ‘cookie’ in the following.
We use cookies in accordance with the relevant legal provisions. We therefore obtain prior consent from users, unless this is not required by law.
If users give their consent, the legal basis for the processing of their data is the consent given in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. This revocable consent is clearly communicated to users and includes information on the specific use of cookies. Further information on individual cookies or similar technologies and their purpose can be found in our privacy settings (open cookie settings).
In particular, consent is not required where the storage and retrieval of information – including cookies – is strictly necessary to provide users with a digital service (i.e. our online offering) that they have expressly requested. In these cases, the legal basis for the processing of your data is the fulfilment of our contractual obligations under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, compliance with legal obligations under Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, or our legitimate interest (e.g. in the business-related and secure operation of our online service and in improving its usability) under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Further information on the individual cookies and their purpose can be found in our privacy settings (open cookie settings).
If you wish, you can delete the cookies at any time. However, this may mean that certain functions are no longer available to you. To delete the cookies, please refer to your browser’s help function or change your settings in the privacy settings (open cookie settings).

Technically necessary ‘comparable technologies’ (session storage)
To control our consent/tag manager, technically necessary information is stored in the browser’ssession storage. This serves solely to ensure the correct execution of consent and placeholder logic (e.g. assigning CSS selectors to categories) and is carried out without user identification, profiling or cross-page recognition. The data is deleted when the browser tab is closed. Legal basis: Section 25(2)(2) of the TDDDG and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in a legally compliant, functioning consent procedure).

13.1 Shopware
This website uses the Shopware cookie consent tool provided by shopware AG, Ebbinghoff 10, 48624 Schöppingen. The purpose of this processing is to obtain and document consent for the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of certain technologies, as well as to technically enable the withdrawal of consent that has been given. The service is hosted locally on our server. No data is passed on to third parties in this process. Shopware stores cookies in your browser so that it can associate the consents you have given – or any withdrawal thereof – with your account.
