    • IP address of the user
    • Google account (if the user is registered with Google, this is recognized and assigned)

    • Browser, browser size and resolution, browser plugins, date, language settings
    • Presentation instructions (CSS) and scripts (Javascript) of the website
    • Mouse and touch events within the page
  2. Google also reads cookies from other Google services, such as Gmail, Search, and Analytics. All data are encrypted and sent to Google. There is no reading or saving of personal data from the input fields of the respective form.

However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
  2. If deactivated at domain or cookie level, it will remain valid for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

3. Processing for the purpose of carrying out our business processes

3.1 Personnel application

For reasons of better readability, the simultaneous use of masculine and feminine and various forms of language is dispensed with – within the framework of the following explanations. All references to persons apply to all genders: m/f/d.

3.1.1 Direct applications

  1. We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail or post). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
  2. Scope and purpose of data collection
    If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
  3. If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
  4. Storage period of the data
    If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
    Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal storage obligations prevent deletion.

3.1.2 Inclusion in the applicant pool

  1. If we do not make you a job offer, we may be able to include you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and details from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
  2. The inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The provision of consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The person concerned can revoke his/her consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are legal reasons for retention.
  3. The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.

3.2 Registration

  1. On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register as a potential investor by providing personal data and thus to receive further information.

  2. The data will only be used for other purposes on the basis of the user’s consent.

3.4 Direct marketing

  1. If you have given us your consent, we will inform you regularly by e-mail about new offers. We will use your name and e-mail address for this purpose. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, e.g. via the link at the end of each e-mail.
  2. Our newsletter is only sent by e-mail with your prior express consent according to the double opt-in principle: after registering for the newsletter on our website, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your newsletter registration. This ensures that no third party has misused your data.
  3. When you register for the newsletter, we also obtain your consent to newsletter tracking for the purpose of personalised advertising and market research by us. With the help of so-called tracking pixels or web beacons and links, each of which is linked to an individual ID, we collect the following personal tracking information in connection with the use of our newsletter:
    • Opening the newsletter, clicking on the links contained therein, submitting a form on our website after clicking on a link contained in the newsletter (along with the time of these actions)
    • Type of terminal device used when you call up images in the newsletter or click on links
    • Behaviour on our website when you access it via a link from our newsletter (along with the time of these actions)
    • Location of access when you access images in the newsletter or click on links (by assigning your IP address, which we do not store).

    We save this data to your user profile, which is assigned to the data entered when you registered for the newsletter. We use this data to evaluate and optimise our e-mail marketing and for the purposes of personalised advertising and market research. This enables us to send you personalised product, service and offer information in our newsletter that is of particular interest to you. You can revoke your consent to this data processing at any time with future effect by unsubscribing from the newsletter. An isolated deactivation of the newsletter tracking is (currently) technically not possible. We delete the tracking data when you unsubscribe from our newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

3.5 Newsletter – MailJet

  1. The newsletter is sent using the shipping service provider MailJet, 13 Rue de l’Aubrac, 75012 Paris, France.
    You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: https://www.mailjet.com/security-privacy/.
    The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR and an order processing contract according to Art. 28 para. 3 p. 1 GDPR.
  2. The service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes.
    However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.

3.6 Advertising to existing customers

  1. Insofar as you have already used services from us against payment, we may inform you from time to time by e-mail or letter about similar services from us (in particular new offers) if you have not objected to this.
  2. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in direct advertising (recital 47 GDPR). You can object to the use of your e-mail address and postal address for advertising purposes at any time without additional costs with effect for the future.

3.7 Responding to enquiries about projects

In the case of enquiries about projects, we will only pass on the data provided in your enquiry to third parties if this is necessary or conducive to answering your enquiry and/or carrying out contractual or pre-contractual measures.
