We do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct advertising. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send you any e-mails. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning.

The information will only be passed on if this is necessary for the delivery of the goods.

We transmit the personal data required for a credit check to the following service provider:

CRIF AG (Switzerland)

The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). If score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognised, mathematical-statistical procedure.

8) Use of social media: videos

8.1 Use of Vimeo videos

Plugins from the Vimeo video portal of Vimeo.com, Inc, 330 West 34th Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10001, USA, are integrated on our website. When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Vimeo servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly associate your visit to our website with your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (e.g. by clicking the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.

If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in Vimeo's data protection information: https://vimeo.com /privacy

The Google Analytics tracking tool from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, is automatically integrated into videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our website. This is Vimeo's own tracking, to which we have no access and which cannot be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" for tracking“, which are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

8.2 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) is/are played. If playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "YouTube“ uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to information from "Youtube“, these are used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behaviour. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyses them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using 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 may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.

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

Demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special function "demographic characteristics“ and can use it to compile statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have activated personalised ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google can, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics, analyse your usage behaviour across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions.

10) Tools and miscellaneous

10.1 Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool"“ to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The cookie consent tool“ is displayed to users when they access the site in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by ticking the relevant box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's end device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Insofar as special categories of personal data (e.g. health data such as information on severe disability) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, the processing is carried out so that we can exercise the rights arising from labour law and social security and social protection law and fulfil our obligations in this regard.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the special categories of data may also be processed for the purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, healthcare or social care or for the management of healthcare or social care systems and services.

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

In the event of a successful application, the data provided will continue to be processed for the purposes of implementing the employment relationship.
