General
This privacy statement complies with the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) establish a link to your person, e.g. through anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data are deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further retention of the data. We will inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.
Information according to Art. 13 DS-GVO
This information is intended for customers, interested parties, suppliers and employees. We process your personal data for the following purposes:
Categories of recipients of personal data
Within our company, only those employees have access to the data who absolutely need it to perform their tasks (need-to-know principle). Individual processes and services are carried out by carefully selected service providers who are based within the EEA and who comply with data protection regulations. If service providers commissioned by us receive access to personal data when performing your services, order processing agreements have been concluded with them in accordance with Art. 28 (3) DSGVO.
Duration of data storage
The data processed by us is stored for the duration of the existence and processing of the contractual relationship and in compliance with statutory retention periods. These are, in particular, retention obligations under commercial and tax law in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO). The regular retention and documentation periods are up to ten years. If there is no contractual relationship, we only process the data for as long as the specific purpose requires.
Your data subject rights
As a data subject, you have the following rights with regard to the personal data
concerning you:
Of course, you can also object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time. To do so, send your objection to our address given in the imprint or write us an e-mail to the address given in the imprint.

As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, however, enable us to carry out various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognise the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.
We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information on the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

In order to be able to assign and document your consent or revocation, a cookie is set in your browser.

This data will not be passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.
Details on the data processing of Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.

Contact form
Nature and scope of the processing
If you send us enquiries (e.g. by contact form, e-mail or telephone), we store all data resulting from this (e.g. name, e-mail address, subject of the enquiry, etc.). We need this data to process your enquiry and to be able to answer follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Purpose and legal basis
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO) if you have given it beforehand.
Storage period
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your enquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Contact form for applicants
Nature and scope of the processing
You have the opportunity to apply to us on our website (e.g. by e-mail, post or via the online application form).
Purpose and legal basis
We process the personal data of applicants in accordance with the legal requirements for the purpose of processing the application procedure and carrying out pre-contractual measures within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO and § 26 BDSG according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
Storage period
Your data will be stored for a period of 6 months beyond the end of the application process. This is usually done to fulfil legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. We are then obliged to delete or anonymise your data. In this case, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (for example, proportion of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).
If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.
Admission to the applicant pool
As part of the application process, we offer applicants the opportunity to be included in our “talent pool” for a period of 12 months on the basis of consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a. DS-GVO to be included.
The application documents in the talent pool will be processed solely in the context of future job advertisements and the employee search and will be destroyed at the latest after the deadline. Applicants are informed that their consent to be included in the talent pool is voluntary, has no influence on the current application process and that they can revoke this consent at any time for the future.
If you receive an offer of employment with us as part of the application process and accept it, we store the personal data collected as part of the application process for at least the duration of the employment relationship.
Presence on social media platforms
Data processing by social networks
We operate publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use in detail can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour extensively. By visiting our social media presences, the following data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our profile, the operator of this social medium can track this visit. Independently of this, the operator may also process your data (e.g. IP address) under certain circumstances if you are not logged into your account or you do not have an account at all.
The operator summarises this data in user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. These profiles are used to display personalised advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the personalised advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Depending on the platform, further processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals; we have no influence on this. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The analysis processes carried out by the operators of the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by the respective providers.
Responsible person and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we have no full influence on the data processing procedures of the portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage period
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of the data collected by the social networks. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

The tools collect the data you provide, including your email address and phone number. They also process the duration of the conference, when you attended the conference, number of participants and other metadata.
In addition, the provider of the tool processes all technical data that are necessary for the handling of the conference. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speakers, and the type of connection.

We use Google Analytics services and functions on this website, which are offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With the help of Google Analytics, we as website operators can determine how our website is used. As part of the analysis, we find out how often our website is accessed, how long visitors stay on the page and which devices or systems they use to access the website. In addition, we may use Google Analytics to track your mouse movements and clicks. This information may be stored and used by Google to build a profile about you. In doing so, Google Analytics uses machine learning technologies to analyse and supplement your data. Furthermore, Google Analytics uses technologies to recognise website visitors in order to analyse user behaviour.

Purpose and legal basis
When using Google Analytics, we rely on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO as the legal basis for the storage and analysis of personal data, as we have a legitimate interest in analysing the use of our website.

IP anonymisation
When using Google Analytics on this website, we use a function whereby Google shortens your IP address before it is transmitted to Google servers in the USA. This only happens if you are in the European Union or in a country of the European Economic Area. Your full IP address will only be transmitted to the USA in exceptional cases and then shortened there. Google Analytics uses this information to track how you use our website. Your IP address will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

However, it does collect your IP address and may transmit it to the US. The Google Tag Manager itself is only used to manage these tools that are integrated through it.
Purpose and legal basis
When using the Google Tag Manager on this website, we rely on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO as the legal basis, as we have a legitimate interest in implementing and directing tracking tools on this website easily and quickly.
