This data is not merged with other data sources. We process and use the data for the following purposes: provision of the website, prevention and detection of errors/malfunctions, and the abuse of the website.

We use cookies on our website to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. The use of cookies serves our legitimate interest in making your visit to our website as pleasant as possible and is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Cookies are a standard Internet technology for storing and retrieving of login and other user information for website users. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the end device.

Furthermore, cookies can be deleted retrospectively in order to remove data that the website has stored on the user's computer.

Online marketing
In order to continuously increase our reach and the awareness of our online offering, we process personal data in the context of online marketing, in particular with regard to potential interests and the measurement of the effectiveness of our marketing measures.
For the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of our marketing measures and identifying potential interests, relevant information is stored in cookies or similar procedures are used. The data stored in cookies may include content viewed, online presences visited, settings and functions and systems used. However, no clear data of users is regularly processed for the purposes described. The data is then modified in such a way that the actual identity of the users is not known neither to us or to the provider of the tool used. The modified data in this way is often stored in user profiles.
In the case of user profile storage, the data may be read, supplemented and added to the online marketing provider's server when you visit other online services that use the same online marketing method.
We can determine the success of our advertisements based on summarized data made available to us by the provider of the online marketing method (so-called conversion measurement). As part of these conversion measurements, we can track whether a marketing measure has led to a purchase decision by a visitor to our online offering. This evaluation serves to analyze the success of our online marketing.
Categories of data subjects:
Website visitors, users of online services, interested parties, communication partners, business and contractual partners
Data categories:
Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta and communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), location data, contact data (e.g. email address), content data (e.g. text details, photographs, videos)
Purposes of processing:
Marketing (partly interest-based and behavior-related), conversion measurement, target group formation, click tracking, development of marketing strategies, and increasing campaign efficiency

Social Media Presences
We maintain online presences on social networks and career platforms to exchange information with registered users there and to be able to contact them easily.
Sometimes, user data from social networks is used for market research and thus pursue advertising purposes. User profiles can be created and utilized based on users' behavior, such as the indication of interests, in order to tailor advertisements to the interests of target groups. For this purpose, cookies are regularly stored on users' end devices, sometimes regardless of whether they are registered users of the social network.
In connection with the use of social media, we also use the associated messengers to communicate easily with users. We would like to point out that the security of individual services may depend on the user's account settings. Even in the case of end-to-end encryption, the service-provider may be able to draw conclusions about both the fact that users communicate with us and the time that they communicate with us and it may also collect location data if required.
Depending on where the social network is operated, user data may be processed outside the European Union or outside the European Economic Area. This can pose risks for users, for example because it makes it more difficult to enforce their rights.
Data subject categories:
Registered users and non-registered users of the social network
Data categories:
Master data (e.g., name, address), contact data (e.g. email address, phone number), content data (e.g., text details, photographs, videos), usage data (e.g., websites visited, interests, access times), meta and communication data (e.g., device information, IP address)

Data transfer
We are a globally active company headquartered in Germany. The data of website visitors is stored in our central customer database in Germany, in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, and is processed in this context throughout the Group for internal administrative purposes. Processing beyond administrative purposes does not take place.
In the event of transferring personal data to a country outside the EEA in the context of internal group processing, we ensure that the processing is legally permissible in the manner we intend. In this case, we have concluded Binding Corporate Rules/Standard Data Protection Clauses, including a separate provision on appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the data of data subjects in the best possible way. A copy of the guarantee used is available at this link.
It may be necessary for us to disclose personal data in order to perform contracts or to fulfill a legal obligation. If we are not receiving the personal data, it may not be possible to conclude the contract with the data subject. We transfer data to countries outside the EEA (so-called third countries). This is done for the purposes mentioned above (transfer within the group and/or other recipients). The transfer only takes place to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or on the basis of prior consent given by the data subject.

In all other cases, we delete personal data once the purpose has been fulfilled, with the exception of data that we need to continue to store to comply with legal obligations (e.g. if retention periods under tax law and trade law require us to keep documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period of time).
Automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR.
