5.1 - Google Web Fonts
This website uses web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ('Google') for consistent font display. When a page is loaded, your browser downloads the necessary web fonts to its browser cache in order to correctly display texts and fonts.
Since we're storing the fonts locally on our servers, the browser you are using does not need to establish a connection to Google's servers. Therfore no transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the United States is involved.

5.2 - Google reCAPTCHA
This website also uses the reCAPTCHA function provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ('Google'). This function is primarily used to distinguish whether an input is made by a natural person or is abusive by automated processing. The service involves the transmission of the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google, based on our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and preventing abuse and spam, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. In the course of using Google reCAPTCHA, personal data may also be transmitted to Google LLC.'s servers in the United States.
In the event of the transmission of personal data to Google LLC. in the United States, Google LLC. has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection in the EU.

5.3 - Google Maps
On our website, we use Google Maps (API) provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ('Google'). Google Maps is a web service that displays interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, our location is shown to you, facilitating navigation if needed.
When you access the subpages that incorporate the Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google's servers and stored there. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the United States, regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles, even for users who are not logged in. The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, representing Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or tailoring Google websites to meet user needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google to exercise this right.

5.4 - Online Applications via a Form
On our website, we offer job applicants the opportunity to apply online via a corresponding form. Inclusion in the application process requires applicants to provide us with all the personal data necessary for a thorough and informed assessment and selection via the form.
The required information includes general personal information (name, address, telephone or electronic contact details) as well as performance-specific evidence of the qualifications necessary for a position. Additionally, health-related information may be required, which must be given special consideration in terms of the applicant's social protection, labor law, and social security interests.
Upon submitting the form, the applicant's data is transmitted to us encrypted using state-of-the-art technology, stored by us, and evaluated solely for the purpose of processing the application.
The legal basis for these processing activities is generally Art. 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in conjunction with § 26(1) of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), according to which the application process is considered a pre-contractual measure.
If, in the context of the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) of the GDPR (e.g., health data such as information about disability) are requested from applicants, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9(2)(b) of the GDPR, in order to exercise rights and fulfill obligations arising from labor law, social security, and social protection laws.
Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of special categories of data may also be based on Art. 9(1)(h) of the GDPR if it is carried out for purposes of preventive medicine, occupational medicine, the assessment of the applicant's ability to work, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care, or the management of health or social care systems.
If, as a result of the evaluation described above, the applicant is not selected or if an applicant withdraws their application prematurely, the data transmitted via the form will be deleted no later than 6 months after receiving the corresponding notification. This period is based on our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and, if necessary, fulfill our obligations to provide evidence in accordance with the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.
In the event of a successful application, the provided data will be further processed for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship, based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR in conjunction with § 26(1) of the BDSG.
