Deletion of data and storage periods

Unless otherwise stated, we will delete your data as soon as it is no longer needed, e.g. your e-mail address after the client relationship ends and you do not wish to be contacted again. Your data will also be deleted or anonymized automatically if the mandatory storage period expires, except when such data is required to be stored for a contract or performance of contract. Such data may be needed for longer periods of time for legal reasons. You can – as described above – request information about all personal data we have stored about you at any time.

If you merely wish to browse our website, we do not collect any personal data, with the exception of the data that your browser sends to us, e.g.:

  • Approximate location based on IP range (e.g. "Berlin city")
  • Internet provider (e.g. "Telecom" or „AT&T")

  • Browser and version (e.g. Chrome or Safari)
  • Operating system (e.g. Mac OS)
  • Hardware (e.g. Intel processor)

To protect your privacy, we anonymise your IP address after your visit. Therefore, all other data possibly attached to it can no longer be traced back to you. It will only serve anonymous and statistical purposes to optimise our website.

Job applications

If you apply to us online or otherwise respond to one of our job ads, we collect and process the personal applicant data.

The purpose is the handling the application process. The processing is primarily carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if the corresponding application documents are submitted to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If we conclude an employment contract, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract, the application documents will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision - this retention period is justified by any obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). If consent was given, applications may also be retained for longer than six months.
