We use the Borlabs Cookie Consent technology on our website to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser and to document them in a data protection compliant manner. The provider of this technology is Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11, 22083 Hamburg (hereinafter referred to as Borlabs). When you visit our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consent you have given or the revocation of this consent is stored.

4. We are subject to various legal obligations, e.g. under tax laws and the German Commercial Code, which require us to process your data in order to comply with the law. These are data processing operations based on legal requirements in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR.

We will only use the email address for advertising if you have not objected to this use. You can object to the use at any time, even at a later date, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

6. Insofar as we process data in order to assert legal claims and for defence in the event of legal disputes, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.

7. If you apply to us, either via the contact form or by email, we process the data that you provide to us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or, if applicable, other open positions in our company) and to carry out the application process.

8. In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data as part of an order processing. We have carefully selected and commissioned them, they are bound by our instructions and are regularly checked with regard to the technical and organisational measures to be taken. Consequently, processors may only process your personal data in the way we have explicitly instructed them. The processor must maintain technical and organisational measures to process your data securely.

Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer contracts or similar services together with partners. You will receive more detailed information about this when you provide your personal data or as part of the description of the offer.

If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance in this data protection declaration or in the description of the offer.

3 Duration of storage

Your data will be processed for the first time from the point in time of its collection, insofar as it is recorded by the system or you provide it to us. We will delete your personal data as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies, all mutual claims have been fulfilled and there are no other legal storage obligations or legal justifications for the storage. Data sets containing personal data are sometimes stored for different purposes, as mentioned above. Depending on the purpose, different retention periods may apply. If a purpose no longer applies, the data may no longer be processed for that purpose. If this data must be available for a further purpose, the data relating to the purpose that no longer applies will no longer be used and will be blocked. It will then only be available for the permissible purpose.
Personal data that is subject to the provisions of the German Commercial Code (Section 257 HGB), such as business letters, is destroyed or deleted after six years. Personal data that is subject to the provisions of the German Fiscal Code (Section 147 AO), such as invoices and accounting documents, is destroyed or deleted after ten years. In the event of a rejection, your application documents will be deleted no later than six months after completion of the application process. We delete data from interested parties or data regarding inquiries that do not concern an existing contractual relationship three months after receipt of the inquiry if no contract is concluded or after your inquiry has been dealt with.

We use the services of Cloudflare, a so-called connectivity cloud network. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. By using Cloudflare, we are able to make our website faster and more secure. The legal basis for the use of Cloudflare is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Friendly Captcha

We use Friendly Captcha to protect our website from spam and misuse. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Friendly Captcha is a proof-of-work-based solution in which the user’s end device does all the work. The user does not have to do anything. Friendly Captcha generates a unique crypto puzzle for each user. As soon as the user begins to fill out a form, it is solved fully automatically. Solving the puzzle usually takes a few seconds. By the time the user is ready to submit the form, the puzzle has usually already been solved.
When you visit our website, Friendly Captcha processes the following protocol data:

  • The request headers User-Agent, Origin and Referer.
  • The puzzle itself, which contains account and website key information to which the puzzle relates
  • The version of the widget.
  • A timestamp

An anonymised counter per IP address is stored for dynamic scaling of puzzle difficulty in the edge network to detect malicious users and minimise the blocking of legitimate users. This data is stored separately from the rest of the data and cannot be associated with specific websites. Friendly Captcha anonymises IP addresses using one-way hashing so that users cannot be personally identified. No cookies are used and no tracking takes place.

We obtain your consent before processing your data. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent concerns the setting of cookies (recognising returning visitors) or the case that information on your end device (digital fingerprint, so-called device fingerprinting) is accessed in accordance with the TDDDG.
