2) Data collection when you visit our website

2.1When you use our website for informational purposes only—that is, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information—we collect only the data that your browser transmits to the website server (so-called “server log files”). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

• The website we visited
• Date and time of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/link that brought you to this page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR on the basis of necessity for the performance of a contract. The data will not be disclosed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of unlawful use. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

2.2For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential information (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" prefix and the padlock icon in your browser address bar.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

We use a provider to host our website and display its content; this provider delivers its services—either directly or through selected subcontractors—exclusively on servers located within the European Union. The provider is:
HOSTINGER operations
Švitrigailos str. 34, Vilnius 03230 Lithuania

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the service provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

To make your visit to our website more enjoyable and to enable the use of certain features, we use cookies—small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow page settings to be saved (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.

If personal data is processed through individual cookies we use, such processing is carried out either pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for the performance of a contract, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR in the event that consent has been given, or in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, allowing you to decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept them, or to block cookies in specific cases or generally.

Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

5) Getting in touch

When you contact us (e.g., via the contact form or email), we collect personal data. The specific data collected when using a contact form is indicated on the form itself. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry, establishing contact, and handling the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed. This is the case when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations preclude this. For processing to comply with statutory retention periods, e.g., for business correspondence under the German Commercial Code (HGB), the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

6) Web analytics services

6.1Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which enables us to analyze your use of our website.

By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies, which are small text files stored on your device and used to collect certain information. This information includes your IP address, although Google truncates the last few digits to prevent direct identification of individuals.

The information is transmitted to Google's servers and processed there. This may also involve transfers to Google LLC, which is based in the United States.

Google uses the information collected on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics and truncated is not combined with other data from Google. The data collected through the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the placement of cookies on the device you are using, takes place only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

's Demographic Features Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic features" function to generate statistics that provide insights into the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target audiences to be identified for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

This processing will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the site. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

If the applicant is not selected or withdraws their application early, the data they submitted and all electronic correspondence—including the application email—will be deleted no later than six months after notification. This period is determined by our legitimate interest in answering any follow-up questions regarding the application and, if necessary, in fulfilling our obligations to provide evidence under the regulations on the equal treatment of applicants.

8) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, where they can grant consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. When using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are loaded only if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by checking the boxes.

Another legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are legally required to make the use of non-technically necessary cookies contingent upon the user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the service provider to ensure the protection of our website visitors’ data and to prohibit its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
