Privacy policy

Data protection is important to us!

  1. General Information

We take the protection of personal data very seriously and strictly adhere to the rules of data protection laws (GDPR, TKG, MedienG, ECG, UGB). The collected data is protected to the best of our knowledge and belief through technical and organizational measures. Personal data is only processed internally. Data is not transferred to third parties. Exceptions to this are in the case of a medical or legal obligation or if you have expressly consented to such a transfer.

This statement is intended to give you an overview of how we ensure this protection and what type of data is collected for which purpose.

  1. Connection and Runtime Data

To detect errors early, optimize our websites, or measure and evaluate our communication campaigns, technical information about the browser/connection is automatically stored in the server log when our websites are accessed, including browser type/version, operating system, IP address of the computer, connection identifier, referring page (referrer URL), and date/time.

This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. This data will not be combined with other data sources (e.g., possible registration data, see 3. Reportable Services). The data is deleted according to the procedure specified in the privacy policy.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of your data by Google in the manner and for the purposes described above. You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future. In light of the discussion about the use of analysis tools with full IP addresses, we would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension anonymizeIp, and therefore IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form to exclude direct personal reference.

  1. Reportable Services

If you wish to use the personalized (partly paid) offers and services (such as newsletters, registration for our information events) offered on the website, we need to collect additional information from you to provide these services properly.

This includes your name, email address, and other details (e.g., place of residence, phone number). Only with this information can we verify that you are the rightful owner of a specific email address (to prevent abusive registrations), send email messages, register for events, or provide properly billed services.

Depending on the service, you can provide us with additional information (e.g., age, personal messages) on a voluntary basis (e.g., via corresponding form fields) as part of registrations/applications. This information helps us to simplify and speed up processes in communication with you or in providing our services, and we use it to tailor our treatment offer, provide further information and tips, and maintain contact.

These additional details (e.g., email address) are usually personal data or data that allows identification of your identity. Data is not transferred to third parties (see 1. General Information).

However, using the unrestricted areas/services of our websites generally does not require disclosure of your identity.

  1. Cookies

As is common on websites today, we also use cookies. These are used to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure.

  1. Social Plugins (e.g., “Share Buttons”)

We hereby explicitly point out that social plugins (e.g., Facebook-like buttons) in the background during corresponding user interaction (e.g., clicking) partially transmit user data to the servers of the respective social network (e.g., Facebook). You are aware of this process. Responsibility for data processing lies with the provider or operator of the respective social network outside our servers.

  1. Remarketing/Retargeting (e.g., Google Display Network)

Remarketing technologies are used to present internet users with interest-based advertising. For this purpose, a cookie is stored in the browser of the website visitor (see 4. Cookies), which makes it possible to recognize the visitor on other pages and present them with information (including advertising) on topics relevant to them.

Google claims not to collect personal data during this process. However, if you do not wish this, you can object through the corresponding settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

  1. Objection to Further Data Processing and Use

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for the provision of the respective services at any time. Please note that we may still process your data to the required extent for billing purposes even after you object to the use and/or storage of your data.

Objection to the further use of data will also result in you possibly no longer being able to receive further services or the provision of our services being discontinued immediately. Your personal data will be deleted in this context and not maintained in our inventory.

  1. Applications

Only data that you provide to us for the purpose of your application will be processed. This data will only be used to process your application and will only be forwarded internally and only to the persons involved in the position filling process. If you exercise your right to deletion, restriction of processing, or objection during the application process, this will result in the immediate termination of the processing. If your application is not successful, your application documents will be deleted or destroyed after the rejection has been sent.

Users have the right to receive the personal data they have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that the processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.
