Our website is operated on servers of AWS (Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL), 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855, Luxembourg. We have concluded a data processing agreement with AWS.

When you visit our website, data is automatically collected and stored in log files on our host's server. This data may have a personal reference. The data collected includes

• Type and version of your Internet browser,
• the operating system,
• the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL),
• the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit,
• Date and time of the respective access and
• the IP address of the Internet connection (anonymized)

The hoster uses the collected data to ensure the trouble-free operation of the website as well as to ensure IT security and to improve our offer. If there are concrete indications, the log data may be subsequently analyzed. The temporary storage of the IP address by the hoster is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, your IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for data collection is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in data collection arises from the aforementioned purposes. The data is deleted by the host as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

If the data is stored in log files, this technical information is deleted or made unrecognizable after seven days at the latest.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, you do not have the option to object.

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are used on your computer when you use and visit our website. When you visit our website for the first time, you will be asked whether you consent to the use of cookies and, if so, which categories you consent to.

Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser on your end device to store certain information. Furthermore, these cookies are used to make the use of our website more pleasant and convenient for you or for analytical purposes.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are used to make the services of our website technically available to you. After your visit, these cookies are automatically deleted by your browser.

Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognize your end device on your next visit (so-called persistent or permanent cookies).

The next time you visit our website with the same end device, the information stored in cookies will be read either by our website ("first party cookie") or by another website to which the cookie belongs ("third party cookie"). These cookies are automatically deleted from your system after a preset period of time, which differs depending on the cookie.

The stored and returned information enables the respective website to recognize that you have already accessed and visited it with the browser of your end device. We use this information to optimize the design and display of the website according to your preferences. Only the cookie itself is identified on your end device.

Any further storage of personal data will only take place with your express consent or if this is absolutely necessary in order to be able to use the service offered and accessed by you accordingly.

This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and function of which are explained below:

Essential cookies: Essential cookies guarantee functions without which you cannot use our websites as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and serve, for example, to ensure that you, as a registered user, always remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website and thus do not have to re-enter your login data each time you access a new page. The legal basis for their use is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Functional cookies: Enable our website to save information you have already provided and to offer you improved functions based on this. The legal basis for the use of these cookies is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Marketing or tracking cookies: These cookies are used to collect information about the websites visited by the user, to create target group-oriented and more effective advertising for the user and to enable us to identify the interests of website visitors in order to make our website even more interesting in the future. Marketing and/or tracking cookies are only set with your active consent. The legal basis for data processing here is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Opt-out for marketing cookies: You can also manage cookies used for online advertising via the tools developed in many countries as part of self-regulation programs, such as https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ based in the USA or https://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/ based in the EU. You can revoke this consent to cookies at any time with effect for the future here. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, e.g. third-party cookies (cookies that are set by a third party, i.e. not by the actual website on which you are currently located), exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. You can use your web browser to delete stored cookies at any time. You have the option of generally deactivating cookies in your browser at any time. However, deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Deleting cookies: Cookies are stored on your end device until you delete them, which you can do at any time. Furthermore, expired cookies are automatically deleted by your browser if you have configured your browser accordingly. Expired cookies are no longer sent to our servers by your browser and can therefore no longer be used by us. Here you will find information on how to delete cookies in your browser and manage the cookie settings for the most common browsers:

Desktop PC/Laptop:

• Microsoft Edge
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Google Chrome

Mobile devices:

• Google Chrome (Android)
• Google Chrome (iOS)
• Apple Safari (iOS)
• Samsung Internet (Android)
• Mozilla Firefox (Android)

If you have not made or do not make any different settings, cookies that enable or ensure the necessary technical functions remain on your end device until you close the browser; other cookies may remain on your end device for longer (maximum 6 months). To safeguard your privacy, you should regularly check the cookies on your device and your browser history and delete them yourself.

Among other things, we integrate tools from companies based in the USA on our website. If these tools are activated, your personal data may be forwarded to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies must hand over personal data at the request of US authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

You can contact us by e-mail or telephone on our website.

In this context, your details will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions. This data (e.g. name, telephone number, e-mail address, IP address) will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

The data is not merged with other data collected on this website.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

We will retain the data you provide until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

On our website you have the opportunity to apply for a job in our company. We accept digital applications, regardless of whether you are applying for a position we have advertised or whether it is an unsolicited application.

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

For the uniform display of fonts on our website, we use Adobe Typekit, a service that provides access to a font library and is provided by Adobe Systems Incorporated, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110-2704, USA, or if you have your registered office or place of residence in the EU, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland (Adobe).

When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Adobe Typekit servers. As a result, Adobe Typekit becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address.

In order to provide the Typekit service, Adobe may collect information about the font that is used to identify the website itself and the associated Typekit account. No cookies are placed or used to provide the fonts. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer. The data transfer to the USA is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a in conjunction with Art. 49 para. 1 a) GDPR.

Furthermore, the data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/eudatatransfers.html.

Further information can be found on the information page on data protection at Adobe Typekit and in Adobe's data protection guidelines.

You can find more information about Adobe Fonts at: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policies/adobe-fonts.html.

You can find Adobe's privacy policy at: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policy.html.

We use "Google Tag Manager" on our websites. The service is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, or if you have your registered office or place of residence in the EU, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Google Tag Manager provides a functionality that enables us to integrate additional services on our website easily, efficiently and dynamically. In addition, we can quickly configure and customize services integrated via Google Tag Manager without having to make technical changes to our website. Services whose use you have already objected to will not be delivered to your browser by Google Tag Manager.

No personal data is collected by Google when Google Tag Manager is used. Google collects technical data without personal reference for the general use and implementation of Google Tag Manager.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Our legitimate interest lies in the efficient provision of our website, including the embedded services and functions.

As there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the transfer of personal data to the USA, we have concluded standard data protection clauses with Google within the meaning of Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

Please refer to the following link for Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

The Google Tag Manager terms of use can be found at the following link: https://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

This website uses the web analysis service "Google Analytics", operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, or if you have your registered office or place of residence in the EU, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site if they have consented to the use of cookies for marketing purposes.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymization is active on this website. However, by activating IP anonymization through the -anonymizeIP function on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. The data is deleted every month.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

The terms of use and information on data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

Google processes your personal data on our behalf. We have therefore concluded an order processing contract with Google in accordance with Art. 28 (3) GDPR, in which Google undertakes to protect your personal data and not to pass it on to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned above.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, insofar as you give us your consent to this when you first access the site.

As there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the transfer of personal data to the USA, we have concluded standard data protection clauses with Google within the meaning of Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to data processing and transmission at any time without giving reasons by sending a message to the contact details of our data protection officer, deleting the cookies in your browser or by clicking on the following link: Cookie settings.

The legality of data processing that has already taken place is not affected by the withdrawal of consent.

Our website uses a so-called "Content Delivery Network" (CDN), offered by Cloudflare, Inc, 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

The Content Delivery Network (CDN), as offered by Cloudflare, is a service that enables the content of our online offering, in particular large media files such as graphics or scripts, to be delivered more quickly via regionally distributed servers connected via the Internet. Scaling storage and delivery capacities are made available via the CDN. This ensures optimum data throughput even at high load peaks.

Via Cloudflare, user requests on our website are initially routed via Cloudflare servers in the USA. Statistics are compiled from these data streams. As a result, potential threats to our website from malware can be detected at an early stage and the loading times of our website are optimized. We have concluded an order processing contract with Cloudflare, according to which Cloudflare is authorized and obliged to evaluate the information obtained and to create statistical reports for us on the type and scope of website usage. These statistics enable us to continuously improve our offering and make our website more interesting and user-friendly for you as a user.

The legal basis for the use of Cloudflare is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, insofar as you give us your consent to this when you first access the site.

As there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the transfer of personal data to the USA, we have concluded standard data protection clauses with Cloudflare within the meaning of Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

Deletion: The data obtained is automatically deleted by Cloudflare after 4 hours.

Further information can be found in Cloudflare's privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/security-policy and https://www.cloudflare.com/de-de/privacypolicy/.

The social network Facebook is operated by Meta Platforms, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you have your registered office or place of residence in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When you visit our online presence on social media, your data may be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes. This data is used to create so-called user profiles using pseudonyms. These can be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to your interests. Cookies are usually placed on your device for this purpose.

The function of cookies is explained in our privacy policy, so please refer to the relevant information there. Visitor behavior and user interests are stored in these cookies. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our services and offers and effective communication with customers and interested parties, which predominate in the context of a balancing of interests. The legal basis for the processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

The legal basis for the collection and processing of data is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR, which you may have given or give to Facebook when accessing the website there. You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future; to do so, please contact Facebook directly. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

For detailed information on the processing and use of data by the providers on their pages as well as a contact option and your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, in particular opt-out options, please refer to Facebook's data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
