You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we usually need time to review the matter. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Processing of customer and contract data

We collect, process and use personal customer and contract data to establish, organise the content of and amend our contractual relationships. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of this website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to allow the user to use the service or to bill the user. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)b GDPR.

The collected customer data will be deleted after the completion of the order or the termination of the business relationship and the expiry of any existing statutory retention periods. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transmission upon the conclusion of a contract for online shops, retailers and the dispatch of goods

If you order goods from us, we will pass on your personal data to the transport company entrusted with the delivery and to the payment service provider commissioned to process the payment. Only the data required by the respective service provider to fulfil its task will be disclosed. The legal basis for this transmission is Art. 6(1)b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. If you have given your consent according to Art. 6(1)a GDPR, we will pass on your e-mail address to the transport company entrusted with the delivery so that it can inform you by e-mail about the dispatch status of your order; consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transmission upon the conclusion of a contract for services and digital content

We only transfer personal data to third parties if required within the scope of contract processing, for example, to the credit institution responsible for processing payments.

Further transmission of the data will not take place or it will only take place if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example, for advertising purposes.

The basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Payment services

We integrate third-party payment services in our website. When you make a purchase from us, your payment details (e.g. name, payment amount, account details, credit card number) are processed by the payment service provider for the purpose of payment processing. The respective contractual and data protection provisions of the respective providers apply to these transactions. The payment service providers are commissioned pursuant to Art. 6(1)b GDPR (contract processing) and in the interest of a smooth, convenient and secure payment process (Art. 6(1)f GDPR). Insofar as your consent is requested for certain actions, Art. 6(1)a GDPR is the legal basis for data processing; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

9. Our own services

Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to submit job applications to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG)) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)b GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6(1)a GDPR. 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 in accordance with Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted and the physical application documents are destroyed. In particular, this stored data can be used in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. 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 further storage no longer applies.

Data may also be stored for longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6(1)a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the opportunity to join our applicant pool. If you are accepted into the pool, all documents and details from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that you can be contacted in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6(1)a GDPR). The submission of consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject may withdraw his/her consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
