Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to the processing of your data, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data, such as tax or commercial retention obligations. In the latter case, the data will be erased once those grounds no longer apply.

Where you have consented to the processing of your data, we process your personal data on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR where special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed). Where you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the processing of data is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your terminal device, for example via device fingerprinting, the processing of data is additionally based on Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG, where applicable. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 13 para. 2 lit. a FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. We also process your data where this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 13 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data may also be processed on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.

As part of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external bodies. We disclose personal data to external bodies only where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so, for example by disclosing data to the tax authorities, where we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. Where we engage data processors, we disclose our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.

Many data processing operations are possible only with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out before consent was withdrawn remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

IF THE PROCESSING OF DATA IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

In the event of infringements of the FADP, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract supplied to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be carried out only where technically feasible.

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified or erased. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or any other questions relating to personal data.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may, apart from being stored, be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the address line of your browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol appearing in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of our legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for example by means of spam e-mails.

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites, such as cookies for processing payment services.

Cookies perform various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, such as the shopping basket function or the display of videos. Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies which are required for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you, such as the shopping basket function, or for optimising the website (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG, where applicable); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

This privacy policy explains which cookies and services are used on this website.

Our website uses Borlabs Cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser or to the use of certain technologies and to document this consent in compliance with data protection requirements.

When you visit our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie stores the consents you have given or withdrawn. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The data collected will be stored until you request us to delete it, until you delete the Borlabs cookie yourself or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details of the processing of data by Borlabs Cookie can be found at: https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/

Borlabs Cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 13 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with data from other sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website. For this purpose, server log files must be recorded.

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details stated there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 13 para. 2 lit. a FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us (Art. 31 para. 1 lit. f FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, such as after your enquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it, such as your name and enquiry, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of dealing with your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 13 para. 2 lit. a FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing enquiries addressed to us (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us in connection with contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its erasure, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, such as after your request has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your e-mail address and information enabling us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or such data is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not disclose it to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data and e-mail address and to their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by using the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data stored by us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be retained by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will then 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 e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist, where this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data on the blacklist will be used only for this purpose and will not be combined with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with the statutory requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage on the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to this storage where your interests override our legitimate interest.

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us, for example by e-mail, by post or via an online application form. Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

When you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data, such as contact and communication data, application documents and notes made during interviews, to the extent that this is necessary for deciding whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Art. 13 para. 2 lit. a FADP or Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (initiation of a contract or employment relationship) and, where you have given consent, your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data will be disclosed only to persons involved in processing your application. If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Art. 13 para. 2 lit. a FADP or Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship

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. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to six months after the end of the application process, meaning the rejection or withdrawal of the application. The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of legal proceedings. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the end of the six-month period, for example due to pending or threatened legal proceedings, the data will be deleted only once the purpose for continued retention no longer applies.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given the relevant consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
