6. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected unless provided on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers, which are described below, to handle the newsletter distribution.
MailerLite
This website uses MailerLite for sending newsletters. The provider is MailerLite Limited, “MailerLite”, 38 Mount Street Upper, Dublin 2, D02PR89 Ireland (hereinafter “MailerLite”). MailerLite is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on MailerLite’s servers. If you do not want MailerLite to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.
Data Analysis by MailerLite
With the help of MailerLite, we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links are clicked particularly often. We can also recognize whether certain predefined actions were carried out after opening or clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can recognize whether you made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.
MailerLite also enables us to divide newsletter recipients into different categories (“clustering”). Newsletter recipients can, for example, be categorized by age, gender, or place of residence. In this way, newsletters can be better tailored to the respective target groups. Detailed information on the functions of MailerLite can be found at the following link: https://www.mailerlite.com/features.
MailerLite’s privacy policy can be found at:
https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Legal Basis
Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
Storage Duration
The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or by the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or once the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected.
After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or by the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
Data Processing Agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

8. Audio and Video Conferences
Data Processing
For communication with our customers, we use online conference tools, among others. The specific tools used by us are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and by the provider of the respective conference tool. The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use for the purpose of using the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants and other “context information” in connection with the communication process (metadata).
In addition, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required for handling the online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, as well as the type of connection.
If content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise made available within the tool, such content is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared during the use of the service.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools listed below.

9. Own Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post or via an online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during application interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary for the decision 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(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company exclusively with persons who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Retention Period of Data
If we are unable to offer you a position, if you reject a job offer or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). After that, the data will be deleted and physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular for evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to a pending or threatened 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 corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
