5) Use of customer data for direct advertising

5.1 Subscribing to our e-mail newsletter

If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter once you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in future by clicking on a corresponding link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by your internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data we collect when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of advertising in the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller named at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your e-mail address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data in a way that goes beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this Privacy Policy.

5.2 Sending the e-mail newsletter to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we may periodically e-mail you offers for goods or services from our range similar to those you have already purchased. In accordance with Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, the data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, no e-mails will be sent by us. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs in accordance with the basic rates for this. After receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will cease immediately.

Our e-mail newsletter is sent via the technical service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede ("CleverReach"), to whom we disclose the data you provided when registering for the newsletter. This disclosure is made in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in using a newsletter system that provides effective advertising and is secure and user-friendly. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address) is stored on CleverReach's servers in Germany or Ireland.

CleverReach uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. For evaluation purposes, the newsletters sent by e-mail contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analysed whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) has taken place after clicking on such links. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data are collected exclusively pseudonymised and are not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. These data are used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you wish to object to data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

We have concluded an order processing contract with CleverReach, with which we oblige CleverReach to protect our customers' data and not to disclose it to third parties.

7) Tools and miscellaneous

7.1 Cookie consent tool based on Usercentrics technology

This website uses a cookie consent tool with technology from Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich (hereinafter "Usercentrics") to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent.

By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, users are shown a banner when they access the page in which they can give their consent to certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking the appropriate box. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user gives corresponding consent by ticking the corresponding box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective terminal device of the user if consent has been granted.

In order for the cookie consent tool to be able to clearly assign page views to individual users and to individually record, log and store the consent settings made by the user for a session duration, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected by the cookie consent tool when our website is called up, transmitted to servers of Usercentrics and stored there.

This data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Further legal basis for the described data processing is moreover Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Usercentrics, with which we oblige Usercentrics to protect the data of visitors to our website and not to disclose it to third parties.

For more information about Usercentrics' use of data, please see the Usercentrics Privacy Policy at https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/

7.2 Applications to job advertisements by e-mail

We advertise current vacancies on our website in a separate section, for which interested parties can apply by e-mail to the contact address provided.

Inclusion in the application process requires that applicants provide us with all the personal data required for a sound and informed assessment and selection together with the application by e-mail. The information required includes general information about the person (name, address, telephone or electronic contact details) as well as performance-specific evidence of the qualifications required for a position. Where applicable, health-related information may also be required, which must be given special consideration under labour and social law in the interest of providing social protection for the applicant.

The components that an application must contain in order to be considered and the form in which these components must be sent by e-mail are specified in the respective job advertisement.

After receipt of the application sent using the specified e-mail contact address, the applicant data will be stored by us and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. For queries arising in the course of processing, we use, at our discretion, either the e-mail address provided by the applicant with their application or a telephone number provided.

The legal basis for this processing, including contacting us for queries, is generally Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (for processing in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 (1) German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)), under which the application process is considered to be the initiation of an employment contract.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health data such as information on severely disabled status) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b. GDPR so that we can exercise the rights arising from labour law and social security and social protection law and fulfil our obligations in this regard.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of the special categories of data may also be based on Art. 9 (1) lit. h GDPR if it is carried out for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant's fitness for work, for medical diagnosis, health or social care or treatment, or for the management of health or social care systems and services.

If the applicant is not selected in the course of the evaluation described above or if an applicant withdraws their application prematurely, their data transmitted by e-mail as well as all electronic correspondence including the original application e-mail will be deleted after a corresponding notification at the latest after 6 months. This period is measured on the basis of our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions about the application and, where appropriate, to meet our obligations to provide evidence under the Equal Treatment of Applicants Regulations.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be further processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (for processing in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG) for the purposes of implementing the employment relationship.
