As part of your contact with us via our form, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) in order to handle your enquiry and to get in touch with you. Our legitimate interest lies in the efficient and secure processing of enquiries, the avoidance of media disruptions, and ensuring traceable communication. Processing is necessary to record enquiries in a structured manner, enable rapid allocation to the relevant departments, and prevent misuse (e.g. spam).
Your interests or fundamental rights as a data subject do not override these interests, as data processing is restricted to the minimum necessary, no special categories of personal data are processed, and you are informed of your rights (e.g. access, erasure, objection) at any time.
Providing a salutation is voluntary (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and is selected by you. You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your salutation at any time without any negative consequences for the future.
Please note that your data may be forwarded to our subsidiaries within the country or within the EU, if this is necessary to process your enquiry. Such transfer only takes place within the scope of statutory provisions and with due regard for data protection.
If you apply for a position via the form, your data will be processed for the purpose of conducting the application process and, where applicable, for establishing an employment relationship pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Further information about your rights, recipients of the data, and the contact details of our Data Protection Officer can be found in our privacy policy.
