When you access a page that contains such a plug-in, your browser automatically establishes a background connection to the Facebook by META servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook by META directly to your browser and only integrated into our site. Through this integration, Facebook by META receives the information that your browser has loaded a specific page of our website. This also applies if you do not have a Facebook by META profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook by META. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook by META server in Ireland and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook by META, Facebook by META can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook by META profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or leaving a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook by META server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook by META profile and displayed to your Facebook by META contacts that you have activated for this purpose.
Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (if you have registered with “Facebook by META”) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (if you have not registered with Facebook by META). Insofar as the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, the legitimate interest of the site operator is to enable users to interact with the content of the site operator on Facebook by META.
Purpose of Data Processing
The primary purpose of data collection is to offer you the opportunity to interact socially with Facebook by META and thus to make our website interactive. The scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data you provide by Facebook by META as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook by META’s data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
Duration of Storage
Facebook by META will store the data relevant for the provision of the web service for as long as necessary. If the data is subject to statutory retention obligations, it will be deleted after the retention obligation has expired.
Right to Object and Delete
If you do not want the Facebook by META social plug-in to be executed, you can also prevent it from being executed by installing a corresponding add-on or script blocker. If you do not want Facebook by META to assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook by META profile, you must log out of Facebook by META before visiting our website. The objection and removal options are otherwise based on the general provisions on the right to object and the right to erasure under data protection law described below in this privacy policy.

Information on the Use of Cookies
What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?
On various pages, we integrate and use cookies to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. So-called “cookies” are small text files that your browser can store on your access device. These text files contain a characteristic string that uniquely identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of storing a cookie file is also referred to as “setting a cookie.” Cookies can be set both by the website itself and by external web services. The cookies are set by our website or the external web services to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve user-friendliness, or to pursue the purpose specified with your consent. Cookie technology also enables us to recognize individual visitors using pseudonyms, such as an individual or random ID, so that we can offer more individualized services. Details are listed in the following table.
Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Insofar as the cookies are processed on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, this consent is also deemed to be consent within the meaning of Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG for the setting of the cookie on the user’s terminal device. Insofar as another legal basis is stated in accordance with the GDPR (e.g. to fulfill the contract or to fulfill legal obligations), the storage or setting is based on an exception in accordance with Section 25 (2) TTDSG. This is the case “if the sole purpose of storing information in the end user’s terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored in the end user’s terminal equipment is to carry out the transmission of a communication over a public telecommunications network” or “if the storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end user’s terminal equipment is strictly necessary to enable the provider of a telemedia service to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user”. The relevant legal basis can be found in the cookie table listed later in this section.
Purpose of Data Processing
The cookies are set by our website or the external web services to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve user-friendliness, or to pursue the purpose specified with your consent. Cookie technology also enables us to recognize individual visitors using pseudonyms, such as an individual or random ID, so that we can offer more individualized services. Details are listed in the following table.
Duration of Storage
Our cookies are stored until they are deleted in your browser or, if it is a session cookie, until the session expires. Details are listed in the following table.
Right to Object and Delete
You can configure your browser according to your preferences so that the setting of cookies is generally prevented. You can then decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept cookies or accept cookies in principle. Cookies can be used for various purposes, e.g., to recognize that your access device has already been connected to our website (permanent cookies) or to store recently viewed offers (session cookies). If you have expressly given us permission to process your personal data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. Please note that the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent until the withdrawal is not affected by this.

Data Security and Data Protection, Communication via Email
Your personal data is protected by technical and organizational measures during collection, storage, and processing so that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication via email, complete data security on the transmission path to our IT systems cannot be guaranteed by us, so we recommend encrypted communication or postal mail for information with a high need for confidentiality.
Automatic Email Archiving
Scope of Processing of Personal Data
We expressly inform you that our mail system has an automated archiving procedure. All incoming and outgoing emails are digitally archived in a tamper-proof manner.
Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR (legal obligation). The legal obligation consists in compliance with tax and commercial law requirements (e.g., Sections 146, 147 AO, Sections 238, 257 HGB).
Purpose of Data Processing
The purpose of archiving is to comply with tax law (e.g., Sections 146, 147 AO – obligation to retain emails of tax relevance) and commercial law requirements (e.g., Sections 238, 257 HGB – obligation to archive business correspondence).
Duration of Storage
Our email communication is stored until the expiry of tax and commercial law retention obligations. The retention period can be up to 10 years.
Right to Object and Delete
You can object to the processing at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR and request deletion of data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR. You can find information about your rights and how to exercise them in the lower section of this privacy policy.
Handling of Application Documents
If you have questions regarding our email archiving system, please contact our data protection officer. We also point out that we only consider application documents in PDF file format. Zipped files (WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip, etc.) are filtered out by our security systems and not delivered. We do not consider applications in Word file format and other file formats and delete them unread. Please note that application documents sent unencrypted via email may be opened by third parties before they reach our IT systems. We assume that we may also respond to unencrypted application emails in an unencrypted manner. If you do not wish this, please provide a note in your application email.
