The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) is/are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to information from "YouTube", these are used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behavior.

When using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.

13.2 Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, as part of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. We are interested in showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. As part of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

15) Retargeting/ remarketing/ referral advertising
Facebook Custom Audience via the pixel method
This website uses the "Facebook pixel" of Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures.
The data collected is anonymous to us and therefore does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user.

Any further data processing will only take place if you have consented to Google linking your Internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads that you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing.

On our website we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visualize geographical information. By using this service, you will be shown our location and it will be easier for you to find us.
Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there as soon as you access the subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyzes them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.
If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

The required information includes general personal information (name, address, telephone or electronic contact details) as well as performance-specific proof of the qualifications required for a position. In addition, health-related information may be required, which must be given special consideration under labor and social law in the interest of the applicant's social protection.
The components that an application must contain in order to be considered in individual cases and the form in which these components are to be sent by e-mail can be found in the respective job advertisement.
After receipt of the application sent using the email contact address provided, the applicant data will be stored by us and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application.

The legal basis for this processing is the completion of the application process as a means of initiating an employment contract.
Insofar as special categories of personal data (e.g. health data such as information on severe disability) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, the processing is carried out so that we can exercise the rights arising from labor law and social security and social protection law and fulfill our obligations in this regard.
Cumulatively or alternatively, the special categories of data may also be processed for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, 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 email and all electronic correspondence including the original application email will be deleted after 6 months at the latest following a corresponding notification. This period is based on our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and, if necessary, to comply with our obligations to provide evidence under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.
In the event of a successful application, the data provided will continue to be processed for the purposes of implementing the employment relationship.
