If you contact us using the contact form on Our Website or the contact details provided there, we will process the information you provide exclusively for the purpose of processing your specific request. Contacting us is, of course, voluntary and you decide which data you disclose to us. However, if you use our email contact form, your email address will be transmitted in any case. The processing of the data relating to the respective request is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) and b) GDPR.Use of third-party providers
Furthermore, your data is also processed by third-party providers, as explained in more detail in section “Use of cookies or similar technologies”.General information on the duration of storage
In principle, data that is stored solely on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR will be deleted if you revoke your consent, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this or another legal basis permits or requires further storage. Other data will only be stored for as long as they are necessary for the purpose for which they were collected, unless statutory retention periods prevent this or a legal basis permits or requires further storage. Insofar as statutory retention obligations permit further storage, the legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.Recipients of your data
Internally, those employees who need your data to perform the tasks assigned to them will have access to it, e.g. IT staff or, in the case of job applications, the human resources department. As a matter of principle, we do not pass on your data to third parties. However, we use service providers as processors who support us in processing the data. They process your data on the basis of a contract concluded with us in accordance with the provisions of Art. 28 GDPR and on our instructions. The legal basis for this is Art. 28 and 29 GDPR. Such service providers or their sub-service providers may also be located in countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, so-called third countries. The European Commission has certified certain third countries as having data protection standards comparable to those in the European Union or the European Economic Area through so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: adequacy decisions of the European Commission). However, in other third countries to which data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. In such cases, we use the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission, which, in accordance with Art. 44 GDPR, provide appropriate guarantees that an adequate level of data protection exists for the data. You can access the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission here: Standard Contractual Clauses.Use of cookies or similar technologies

Google LLC is certified for this purpose. Further details can be found at: Data Privacy Framework Program Overview. It cannot be ruled out that Google may also process the data for its own purposes. Further information on the processing of data by Google can be found at: Google Privacy Policy.
