- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have filed an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be made. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

They are used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

9. Processing of data for business purposes
Handling of applicants’ data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via the online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected in the course of 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 strictly confidentially.
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 during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with people involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submit will be processed on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship in our data processing systems.
Data retention period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you provide on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage serves in particular for the purpose of providing evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations preclude deletion.
Handling of customer and employee data
By entering into a contractual relationship, you agree that your personal data, namely name/company, profession, date of birth, company register number, powers of representation, contact person, business address and other addresses of the customer, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, bank details, credit card details, VAT number, for the purpose of contract fulfillment and ongoing support as well as for our own advertising purposes, for example for sending offers, advertising brochures and newsletters (in paper and electronic form), are automatically determined, stored and processed.
As described under point 2, you have the rights to information, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection.
In the event of a business relationship, we will also transfer your data to the following service providers:
