Storage Period
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing or when the purpose for storage no longer applies. This does not affect data stored by us for other purposes. 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.
‍
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or by the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not 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 time-limited. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

8. Audio and Video Conferences
‍
Data Processing
To communicate with our customers, we use online conferencing tools. The tools we use 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 conferencing tool. The conferencing tools collect all data that you provide or use to participate in the tools (e.g., email address and/or phone number). They also process the duration of the conference, the start and end time of participation, the number of participants, and other “context information” related to the communication process (metadata).
‍
In addition, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to handle 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, and the type of connection. If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, it 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 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 providers. Further information on data processing by the conferencing tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools listed below.
‍
Purpose and Legal Bases
The conferencing tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to provide certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). In addition, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent has been requested, the respective tools are used on the basis of this consent; consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
‍
Storage Period
Data collected directly by us via video and conferencing tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. We have no influence on the storage duration of your data stored by the operators of the conferencing tools for their own purposes. For details, please consult the operators of the respective conferencing tools directly.

9. Own Services
‍
Handling Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via online application form). Below 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 is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.
‍
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you submit an application to us, we process your related 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 Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time.
Your personal data will be passed on within our company exclusively to persons 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 Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
‍
Storage Period of the 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 provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months after completion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). After that, the data will be deleted and physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of legal disputes. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the six-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further retention no longer applies. Longer retention may also occur if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
