2. General information on data processing

We only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. Personal data is regularly only processed with the user’s consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR), for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR), or where processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR), provided the user’s interests do not override those interests.

3. Provision of the website and creation of server log files

When you access our website, our hosting provider automatically collects information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and the shortened IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

4. Cookies and consent

This website uses cookies. On your first visit, our cookie banner asks for your consent where cookies are used that are not technically necessary. Please see our Cookie Policy for the categories of cookies used and how to manage or withdraw your consent.

5. Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form – including the contact details you enter there (first and last name, email address, company, phone number, position, desired start date, subject, and message) – will be stored by us and sent to us by email for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry). We do not pass on this data without your consent and delete it as soon as storage is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, or once a statutory retention obligation ends.

6. Contact by email or phone

If you contact us by email or phone, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

7. SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
