If we process personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to data transfer, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.
– Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
Any person data subject to the processing of personal data has the right under the DS-GVO not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect in relation to him or her, or to whom the processing of personal data may give rise, or to whom the processing of personal data may give rise, or to whom the processing of personal data may give rise, to the processing of personal data under the DS-GVO.

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a contact form on the website, to the controller. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted shall be stored for the purpose of processing the employment contract in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the candidate, the application documents shall be automatically deleted, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz – AGG).
The processing of applicant data is carried out to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations within the scope of the application procedure as defined by Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR if the data processing e.g. in the context of legal proceedings for us becomes necessary (in Germany § 26 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) additionally applies).
7. objection or revocation against the processing of your data
(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time and by any means of communication. Such a revocation influences the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have given it to us.
(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on a weighing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is in particular not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. In the event of such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
(3) You may of course object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can contact us about your advertising objection at the address given in section 2 (2).
8. legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data/ necessity for the conclusion of a contract/ consequences in the event of non-supply
(1) We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law. However, it is also possible that a data subject may be required to provide us with personal information in order for a contract to be performed. Failure to do so would result in the contract not being able to be concluded. Our employees will be happy to answer any questions you may have on a case-by-case basis.
(2) The data processed by us shall be deleted or their processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and there are no legal obligations to retain them. If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for commercial or tax reasons.
According to legal requirements, the storage is carried out in particular for 10 years according to §§ 147 Para. 1 AO, 257 Para. 1 no. 1 and 4, Para. 4 HGB (German Commercial Code) (books, records, management reports, accounting records, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years according to § 257 Para. 1 no. 2 and 3, Para. 4 HGB (German Commercial Code) (commercial letters).

13. Social Media
1. Use of social media plug-ins
(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins/links:
You can recognize the provider of the plug-in/link by the mark on the box above its initial letter or logo. We open up the possibility for you to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in/link via the button. By activating the plug-in/link, personal data from you may be transmitted to the respective plug-in/link provider and stored there (in the case of US providers, in the USA). Since the plug-in/link provider collects the data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking.
(2) We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in/link provider.
(3) The plug-in/link provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for non-logged-in users) for the display of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in/link provider to exercise this right. Via the plug-ins/links, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins/links is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.
(4) The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in/link provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plug-in/link provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your account with the plug-in/link provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plug-in/link provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this allows you to avoid an assignment to your profile with the plug-in/link provider.
(5) For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the data protection declarations of these providers provided below. There you will also receive further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.
