Data Privacy Policy

Our website makes use of so-called cookies in order to recognize repeat use of our website by the same user/internet connection subscriber. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser downloads and stores on your computer. They are used to improve our website and services. In most cases these are so-called "session cookies" that are deleted once you leave our website.

To an extent, however, these cookies also pass along information used to automatically recognize you. Recognition occurs through an IP address saved to the cookies. The information thereby obtained is used to improve our services and to expedite your access to the website.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.

For technical reasons, data such as the following, which your internet browser transmits to us or to our web space provider (so called server log files), is collected:

• type and version of the browser you use
• operating system
• websites that linked you to our site (referrer URL)
• websites that you visit
• date and time of your visit
• your Internet Protocol (IP) address. 

This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal information you may have provided, thereby making it impossible to connect it to any particular person. The data is used for statistical purposes in order to improve our website and services.

Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, i.e. information that can be traced back to a person. This includes the name, email address or telephone number. But also data about nationality, profession or which websites were viewed by someone count as personal data. Personal data is only collected, used and passed on by us if this is permitted by law or the users consent to the data collection.

The collected data is not passed on to third parties. A comparison of the data collected in this way with data that may be collected by other components of our site also does not take place.

The data entered as part of the place request is stored and processed exclusively to handle your request. It is passed on to the head of the facility you are making the request for, and you receive a confirmation by email.

If your application is rejected, the data you have submitted is deleted automatically six months after the application was received. This does not apply if a longer period of storage is required by law (for example because of the burden of proof under the General Equal Treatment Act) or if you have expressly agreed to longer storage in our database of interested applicants.

On the basis of the Federal Data Protection Act, you may contact us at no cost if you have questions relating to the collection, processing or use of your personal information, if you wish to request the correction, blocking or deletion of the same, or if you wish to cancel explicitly granted consent. Please note that you have the right to have incorrect data corrected or to have personal data deleted, where such claim is not barred by any legal obligation to retain this data.

We use Matomo on our website, an open-source web analytics software that we run on our own server. The analysis is carried out entirely without cookies.

We have configured Matomo so that no personal data is stored. In particular:

• no cookies are set on your device,
• your IP address is anonymized automatically and immediately,
• no usage profiles are created,
• no data is passed on to third parties.

Only technically necessary information is collected, such as the anonymized part of the IP address, browser type, operating system, pages accessed, referrer information and the time of the server request. This data is used exclusively for statistical evaluation and to improve our website.

Because the IP address is anonymized immediately, no conclusions can be drawn about individual persons. The processing is based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in analyzing the use of our website.

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") perceive the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus necessary for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform the users about it.
