We use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy Mountain View, California 94043, USA (“Google”) described below. There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA.

4.1). Google Enhanced Conversions

This technology is based neither on cookies nor on pixels. When you use our website and are redirected by a Google ad, we send a hashed identifier and information about possible purchases to Google. Google will use this information only to understand which ad you clicked, to measure the success of certain ads and to provide us with this information in aggregate form. In particular, Google will not use the data to serve targeted ads to you or to other users, or store or use the data for any other purpose. We transmit this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in controlling our marketing activities.

4.2). Google Tag Manager

We use the Tag Manager from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Tags are the IDs of data elements. Tracking pixels from the third-party providers named here are loaded on the websites. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not record personal data. The tool ensures that other tags are triggered, which in turn may record data. However,  Google Tag Manager   does   not   access   this   data.   Further   information   is   available here: https://www.google.com/intl/en… and https://policies.google.com/pr… .

4.3). LinkedIn Insight-Tag

We use the Insight Tag provided by LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland). The LinkedIn Insight Tag is a JavaScript code which allows conversion tracking of advertising campaigns and the targeting of specific website groups and demographics. The Insight Tag also enables the use of the various LinkedIn Marketing Solutions which help to increase brand awareness and attract prospective candidates.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag collects data relating to visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics (User Agent) and a timestamp. This data is encrypted, the IP addresses are truncated and the direct IDs of LinkedIn members are removed within seven days in order to pseudonymise the data. The pseudonymised data that remains is then deleted by LinkedIn within 180 days.

LinkedIn does not share personal data with the website owner, it only provides reports about the website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors, enabling the website owner to show personalised ads away from his/her website by using this data, but without identifying the member. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes via their account settings.

Whenever the integrated “LinkedIn Apply” function is used, LinkedIn may also save its own cookies on your computer. More information can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy, terms of use and cookie policy.

5). Vimeo

We embed videos from our official Vimeo channel. When you press play Vimeo may set cookies to enable the video to play and maintain the security of its service. These cookies do not directly identify anyone.

If you have a Vimeo account and are logged in, Vimeo may set cookies for analytics and advertising purposes and collect data linked to your Vimeo account when you visit a page containing a Vimeo video. For more information, see the Vimeo cookies policy.

6). Social Networks

You can also find us on the social networks of external companies such as LinkedIn, Instagram or Xing. You must be registered and logged into the respective social network to use it. Please note that when using a social network, the respective company’s terms of use and data protection conditions, over which we have no control, apply.

Icons from social networks which we have included on our careers site function solely as links, i.e. you can access the respective social network via our website. No data transfer occurs as a result of these icons being displayed.
