Career page
If you have chosen to apply online via our career page, thank you for your application. By applying online you make things easier for us and so speed up the processing of your application.
We process the personal data that you provide as part of an application only for the purpose and in the framework of the application process and in accordance with the legal requirements. If your application refers to a specific job posting, we process the provided data exclusively for this job opening. The processing of your application data ensues for the purpose of fulfilling our (pre-)contractual obligations in the context of the application process in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. After the conclusion of the application process for a position, we process your application data only to the extent that this is necessary pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to ensure our legitimate interests, or if you have explicitly agreed to the processing of your application data for future job postings. This also applies to speculative applications once we have compared your desired positions and your qualification profile with our open positions.
By submitting your application, you declare your consent to the processing of your data for the purposes of the application process in the form and scope described in this privacy policy.
If special categories of personal information within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are transmitted voluntarily in the context of the application process, they are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR (e.g. health data such as severe invalidity, or ethnic origin) or on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR (e.g. health data, insofar as these are necessary to exercise the profession).
If your application is successful, the data provided by you may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relation. Otherwise, as soon as an application to a job posting was unsuccessful, the data of the applicants are deleted upon the expiry of the legal retention periods or, if you have explicitly consented to a longer retention period, upon the expiry of that period.
If you have not consented to a longer retention period, deletion occurs after a period of seven months, so that we can answer any subsequent enquiries regarding the application and can fulfil our evidential duties under the Nigerian Employment Equality Act. Invoices for any travel expenses are archived in accordance with the applicable tax regulations.
Social media presence
We take the current debate around data protection in social media very seriously, because we also have a social media presence, which we use to inform users of our offerings. The actual social media platforms used by us are represented by their logos on our site. In this regard, we note that according to current jurisprudence we share joint responsibility with the operators of the respective social media platforms within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. We have taken the requisite measures, to the extent that the providers have enabled us to do so. However, according to the GDPR the primary responsibility for the processing of personal data on the respective social media platform lies with the respective platform provider. In the event that data subjects wish to assert their rights, these should ideally be asserted directly vis-à-vis the social media platforms. We, as users, make no decisions concerning the processing of data on social media. Only the respective provider has access to the users’ data, and therefore only the provider can take concrete measures.
The users’ data may be processed on social media for purposes of advertising and market research. Amongst other things, user profiles may be created based on users’ diverse interests. The user profiles may then be used to display targeted advertising on and beyond the social media platforms. For these purposes, social media platforms also use cookies that store user behavior and the interests of the users. Furthermore, the user profiles may also contain data on the users as members of the respective social media platforms if they are logged in to these.
For a detailed description of the respective data processing and the options for objecting or revoking consent, we refer readers to the privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
In some cases, user data on some social media platforms may be processed outside the territory of the European Union. With regard to US providers certified through the Privacy Shield, we point out that the providers undertake to observe the data protection standards of the European Union, in particular the GDPR. The transmission of data to the USA is permissible according to Art. 45 GDPR with a valid Privacy Shield certification.

Cookies in general
On our website, we use cookies to make our online presence more user-friendly and functional. Some cookies remain stored on your device.
Cookies are small data packages that are exchanged between your browser and the Web server when you visit our website. They are not harmful and only serve to recognise the website’s visitors. Cookies can only store information that is provided by your browser, i.e. information that you yourself have entered into the browser or that is on the website. Cookies cannot execute code and cannot be used to access your device. The next time you visit our website from the same device, the information stored in the cookies can be sent back to us (“first-party cookies”) or to a Web application of a third party to whom the cookie belongs (“third-party cookies”). The stored and returned information allows the respective Web application to recognize that you have already called up and visited the website with the browser on your device.
Depending on their purpose and function, cookies are divided into the following categories:
- Technically required cookies to ensure the technical operation and basic functionality of our website. This type of cookies is used e.g. to save your settings while you navigate around the website; or they can ensure that important information is saved for the duration of the session (e.g. login, shopping cart).
- Statistics cookies serve to understand how visitors interact with our website; the information that is collected and analysed is anonymised. This provides us with valuable insights that allow us to optimise our website as well as our products and services.
- Marketing cookies to set targeted advertising activities for visitors to our website.
- Unclassified cookies are cookies that we are currently attempting to classify together with the providers of individual cookies.
We also classify cookies as session or permanent cookies, based on the length of storage. Session cookies save information that is used during your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. No information remains on your device. Permanent cookies save information between two visits to the website. With this information, your device is recognised when you visit the website again and the website reacts accordingly. The life of a permanent cookie is determined by the cookie’s provider.
The legal basis for the use of technically required cookies is our legitimate interest to ensure a technically error-free operation and seamless functioning of our website, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly. Pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, the use of statistics and marketing cookies requires your consent. Pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR, you may revoke your consent to the use of cookies with future effect at any time. Consent is voluntary. There are no disadvantages to not consenting.
Furthermore, you can also configure your Internet browser to always prevent the storing of cookies on your device or to always ask you if you consent to the setting of cookies. You can always delete cookies that have already been set. You can find more details in the help function of your browser.
Please note that the general deactivation of cookies may restrict the functionality of our website.
Integration of third-party services and contents
To analyse and optimise our online presence, our website uses third-party content or service offerings in order to display their contents and services, e.g. videos or fonts.
This always requires that the third-party providers of these contents can recognise a user’s IP address, as this is necessary to display these contents. We make efforts to only use contents whose providers use the IP address exclusively to deliver the contents. The processing of your data is based on our legitimate interest to optimize our online offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics also known as “Web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The pixel tags enable the evaluation of information such as visitor traffic to the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the users’ devices and contain, amongst others, technical information on the browser and operating system, referring website, time of visit and other information on the use of our online offering, and may also be combined with such information from other sources.
The processing of your data in the cookies is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may revoke this consent with future effect at any time.
For more details please refer to the actual services that are specifically described in this privacy policy.
Facebook Pixel
For the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering, our website uses the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social media platform Facebook, operated by Facebook . We are jointly responsible with Facebook for this data processing pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR.
The Facebook pixel allows Facebook to identify the visitors of our online offering as a target group for the display of advertising (so-called Facebook ads). We therefore use the Facebook pixel in order to display ads on Facebook only to those Facebook users who have demonstrated an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain subjects or products, as determined by the websites they visit) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). The Facebook pixel also lets us ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interests of the users and are not irritating. The Facebook pixel additionally enables us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by letting us see whether users were directed to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (“conversion”).
The processing of your data in the cookies is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may revoke this consent with future effect at any time.
You may also object to the collection of your data by the Facebook pixel and its use to display Facebook ads,
To configure what types of ads should be shown to you on the Facebook platform, you can call up the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions regarding the configuration of usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied across all devices, whether desktop computer, laptop, smartphone etc.
Insofar as data is to be processed by Facebook in the USA, we would like to point out that Facebook Inc., headquartered in the USA, is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby assures that it adheres to European data protection laws (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active). The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is meant to ensure that EU data protection standards are assured in the USA. In accordance with Art. 45 GDPR, the transmission of data to the USA is therefore permissible.
The processing of the data by Facebook is based on Facebook’s privacy policy. You can therefore find general information on the display of Facebook ads there: https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php. Specific information and details on the Facebook pixel and its functions can be found in Facebook’s help area: https://de-de.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
Google Analytics
Our website uses the functions of the Web analysis service Google Analytics to analyse user behaviour and to optimise our online presence. This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Information on the use of the website, such as browser type/version, used operating system, previously visited site, hostname of the accessing device (IP address), and time of server call-up are usually transmitted to a server of Google and stored there. To this end, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Google pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website, to generate reports on the activities within our website and to provide us with additional services associated with the use of our website and the use of the Internet. According to Google, the IP address provided by your browser will not be combined with other data owned by Google.
We only use Google Analytics in conjunction with IP anonymisation; to this end, we have added the code “anonymizeIP” to this website. This guarantees that your IP address is masked, ensuring that all the data collected is anonymous. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server and shortened there.
Data on the use of our website are immediately deleted after the end of the retention period set by us. Google Analytics offers the following options for the retention period: 14 months, 26 months, 38 months, 50 months, do not delete automatically. You can enquire about the retention period we have currently set at any time.
The processing of your data with the help of Google Analytics is based on your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may revoke this consent with future effect at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.
Furthermore, you may prevent the collection of data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
You can obtain additional information on Google’s use of data and on your configuration and objection options in Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Insofar as data is to be processed by Google in the USA, we would like to point out that Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby assures that it observes European data protection laws (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active). The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is meant to ensure that EU data protection standards are assured in the USA. In accordance with Art. 45 GDPR, the transmission of data to the USA is therefore permissible.
Google Tag Manager
Our website uses the Google Tag Manager service provide by Google .The Tag Manager is a service through which we can administer website tags via an interface. It allows us to integrate code snippets like tracking codes or conversion pixels into websites without accessing the source code. The data is only transmitted by Tag Manager, but not collected or stored by it. The Tag Manager itself is a cookie-less domain and does not process any personal data as it only serves to administer other services in our online offering. The Tag Manager serves to resolve other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Tag Manager does not itself access this data. If a deactivation took place at the domain or cookie level, this remains in force for all tracking tags that are implemented with the Tag Manager.
You can find more information on data protection at the following Google websites:
