We process data as part of our business and website operations.

The specific data affected, processing purposes, legal bases, recipients and, if applicable, transfers to third countries are listed below:

a) Log file when visiting the website

We log your website visit. In doing so, we process:

  • Name(s) of our retrieved webpage(s),

  • Amount of data transferred,
  • Browser type and version,
  • The operating system you use,
  • The referrer URL (the previously visited website),
  • Your IP address,
  • The requesting provider.

The legal basis for data processing is our overriding legitimate interest in the continuous provision and security of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The log file is deleted after seven days, unless it is required to prove or clarify specific legal violations that have become known within the retention period.

b) Hosting

To provide our online presence, we use services from web hosting providers who process the data mentioned above and all data to be processed in connection with the operation of this website (log file when visiting the website) on our behalf.

c) Contacting us

If you contact us, we process the following data from you for the purpose of processing and handling your inquiry: Name, contact details – if provided by you – and your message.

d) Services and administration of client relationships

We process various data as part of the provision of our services and for the initiation and execution of the existing client relationship between you and us. If you have granted us a mandate, we process your data (name, contact details, address) and all information necessary for the assertion and defense of your rights within the scope of the mandate exclusively for the purpose of processing and handling your mandate. This includes, in particular, appropriate legal advice and representation, correspondence with you, invoicing, fulfillment of our accounting and tax law obligations, but also the handling of any liability claims and the assertion of any claims against you. The processing of the data takes place on the basis of 6 (1) (b) GDPR as well as for the fulfillment of our legal obligations according to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Insofar as this is necessary for the processing of the client relationship, your data will be passed on to third parties. This includes, in particular, disclosure to opposing parties and their representatives, courts, public registers, and other public authorities for the purpose of correspondence as well as for the assertion and defense of your rights. We take all suitable measures to transmit only personal data limited to the extent necessary for the underlying purposes of data processing.

If you contact us to send us your application as an employee, e.g., by email or via a contact form, the data you provide (e.g., name, email address, desired location, etc.), your message, and the transmitted application documents will be processed exclusively for the purpose of processing and handling your application request. The primary legal basis for data processing is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). According to this, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible. Should the data be necessary for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may take place to safeguard our legitimate interests according to 6 (1) (f) GDPR, namely for the assertion and/or defense of claims.

You also have such a right of objection in the case of data processing for the purpose of direct marketing.
