7) Use of customer data for direct advertising

7.1 Subscription to our email newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future by clicking on a corresponding link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address registered by the Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later point in time. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for advertising purposes by way of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller named at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

7.2 Newsletter dispatch via MailChimp
Our e-mail newsletters are sent via the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/), to whom we pass on the data you provided when registering for the newsletter. This transfer takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in using an effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note that your data will generally be transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there.
MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. For the evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. With the help of web beacons, Mailchimp automatically generates general, non-personal statistics about the response behavior to newsletter campaigns. On the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of newsletter campaigns to optimize advertising communication and better target recipient interests, the web beacons also collect data from the respective newsletter recipient (e-mail address, time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit f GDPR and used. This data allows an individual conclusion to be drawn about the newsletter recipient and is processed by Mailchimp for the automated creation of statistics that recognize whether a specific recipient has opened a newsletter message.
If you want to deactivate the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
MailChimp can also use this data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR itself on the basis of its own legitimate interest in the needs-based design and optimization of the service and for market research purposes, for example to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them itself or pass them on to third parties.
To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a data processing agreement (“Data-Processing-Agreement”) with MailChimp based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission to enable the transfer of your personal data to MailChimp. This data processing agreement can be viewed at the following internet address if you are interested: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/
You can view MailChimp's data protection regulations here:
https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

You can object to the storage and use of your data for this purpose at any time by sending a corresponding message to the controller.

Wenn Sie sich für die Zahlungsart „Apple Pay“ der Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Irland, entscheiden, erfolgt die Zahlungsabwicklung über die „Apple Pay“-Funktion Ihres mit iOS, watchOS oder macOS betriebenen Endgerätes durch die Belastung einer bei „Apple Pay“ hinterlegten Zahlungskarte. Apple Pay verwendet hierbei Sicherheitsfunktionen, die in die Hardware und Software Ihres Geräts integriert sind, um Ihre Transaktionen zu schützen. Für die Freigabe einer Zahlung ist somit die Eingabe eines zuvor durch Sie festgelegten Codes sowie die Verifizierung mittels der „Face ID“- oder „Touch ID“ – Funktion ihres Endgerätes erforderlich.
Zum Zwecke der Zahlungsabwicklung werden Ihre im Rahmen des Bestellvorgangs mitgeteilten Informationen nebst den Informationen über Ihre Bestellung in verschlüsselter Form an Apple weitergegeben. Apple verschlüsselt diese Daten sodann erneut mit einem entwicklerspezifischen Schlüssel, bevor die Daten zur Durchführung der Zahlung an den Zahlungsdienstleister der in Apple Pay hinterlegten Zahlungskarte übermittelt werden. Die Verschlüsselung sorgt dafür, dass nur die Website, über die der Einkauf getätigt wurde, auf die Zahlungsdaten zugreifen kann. Nachdem die Zahlung getätigt wurde, sendet Apple zur Bestätigung des Zahlungserfolges Ihre Geräteaccountnummer sowie einen transaktionsspezifischen, dynamischen Sicherheitscode an die Ausgangswebsite.
Sofern bei den beschriebenen Übermittlungen personenbezogene Daten verarbeitet werden, erfolgt die Verarbeitung ausschließlich zum Zwecke der Zahlungsabwicklung gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
Apple bewahrt anonymisierte Transaktionsdaten auf, darunter der ungefähre Kaufbetrag, das ungefähre Datum und die ungefähre Uhrzeit sowie die Angabe, ob die Transaktion erfolgreich abgeschlossen wurde. Durch die Anonymisierung wird ein Personenbezug vollständig ausgeschlossen. Apple nutzt die anonymisierten Daten zur Verbesserung von „Apple Pay“ und anderen Apple-Produkten und Diensten.
Wenn Sie Apple Pay auf dem iPhone oder der Apple Watch zum Abschluss eines Kaufs verwenden, den Sie über Safari auf dem Mac getätigt haben, kommunizieren der Mac und das Autorisierungsgerät über einen verschlüsselten Kanal auf den Apple-Servern. Apple verarbeitet oder speichert keine dieser Informationen in einem Format, mit dem Ihre Person identifiziert werden kann. Sie können die Möglichkeit zur Verwendung von Apple Pay auf Ihrem Mac in den Einstellungen Ihres iPhone deaktivieren. Gehen Sie zu "Wallet & Apple Pay", und deaktivieren Sie "Zahlungen auf Mac erlauben".

9) Use of Social Media: Videos

Use of Youtube videos

This website uses the Youtube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider “Youtube”, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) are played. If the playback of embedded Youtube videos is started, the provider “Youtube” uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to information from “Youtube”, these serve, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behavior. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want the assignment to your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation takes place in particular according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. As part of the use of Youtube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which can trigger further data processing operations without our influence.

Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider's data protection declaration at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data described above in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the possibility described above to make an objection.

10) Online Marketing

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). Based on the advertising campaign data, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are pursuing the goal of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad 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 block this usage by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your internet browser under the heading "User settings". You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Ads based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

You can find more information about Google's privacy policy at the following internet address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

13.2 Applications for job advertisements by e-mail

On our website, we advertise currently vacant positions in a separate section, for which interested parties can apply by e-mail to the contact address provided.

Inclusion in the application process requires that applicants provide us with all personal data required for a well-founded and informed assessment and selection together with their application by e-mail.
The required information includes general information about the person (name, address, a telephone or electronic contact option) as well as performance-specific evidence of the qualifications necessary for a position. If necessary, health-related information may also be required, which must be given special consideration under labor and social security law in the interest of the applicant's social protection.

The individual components that an application must contain to be considered and the form in which these components must be sent by e-mail can be found in the respective job advertisement.

After receipt of the application sent using the specified e-mail contact address, the applicant data will be stored by us and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. For queries arising during processing, we will use either the e-mail address provided by the applicant with their application or a telephone number provided, at our discretion.

The legal basis for this processing, including contacting you with queries, is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 Para. 1 BDSG, according to which the application process is regarded as the initiation of an employment contract.

To the extent that special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR (e.g. health data such as information about severe disability) are requested from applicants during the application process, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b. GDPR, so that we can exercise the rights arising from labor law and social security and social protection law and fulfill our related obligations.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of special categories of data can also be based on Art. 9 Para. 1 lit. h GDPR if it is carried out for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of the applicant, for medical diagnostics, the provision of care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector.

If the applicant is not selected in the course of the above-described evaluation or if an applicant withdraws their application prematurely, their data transmitted by e-mail and all electronic correspondence, including the original application e-mail, will be deleted after a corresponding notification at the latest after 6 months. This period is based on our legitimate interest in answering any follow-up questions about the application and, if necessary, being able to meet our obligations to provide evidence from the regulations on the equal treatment of applicants.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be further processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 Para. 1 BDSG for the purposes of implementing the employment relationship.
