What does "data processing" mean?
Your personal data is processed on this website. Data is personal if it can be directly or indirectly assigned to you personally in such a way that you can be identified.
Data processing refers to all processes relating to your personal data, from storage and use to deletion. The exact definitions can be found in Art. 4 (1) and (2) GDPR.
Explanation of terms

Cookies (general explanation)
Our website use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself. An automatic solution is provided by your web browser or you revoke any consent you may have given (see below under right of revocation).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.
Technically necessary cookies are required for the website to function properly. This category only includes cookies that guarantee the basic functions and security features of the website. The processing is absolutely necessary in order to provide you with the services of our website. We are permitted to carry out this processing on the basis of Art. 5 Para. 3 of EU Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Union (ePrivacy Directive).
All other cookies that are used, for example, to analyze your usage behavior, for advertising purposes or for connecting to social media are only used with your voluntary consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR).
Right of withdrawal
You can revoke this consent at any time by changing the cookie settings and blocking cookies. The cookies will then be deleted.
You can change the settings here:
Borlabs Cookie
This website uses Borlabs Cookie, which sets a technically necessary cookie (borlabs-cookie) to store your cookie consent.
Borlabs Cookie does not process any personal data.
The cookie “borlabs-cookie” stores your consent that you gave when you entered the website. If you wish to revoke this consent, simply delete the cookie in your browser. If you then re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked for your cookie consent again.
Google Analytics (analytics cookie)
We use functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The processing is carried out for the purpose of analyzing your usage behavior in order to improve our offer and adapt it to your wishes. Processing only takes place with your consent, which you can revoke at any time, see point “Cookies (general explanation)”
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
We use the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows us to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person.
Storage duration
Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) will be anonymized or deleted after 26 months. Details can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de
Legal basis
The processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing contract and the use of so-called standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. d).
What other data processing is carried out?
Technical data (server log file)
We automatically collect and store technical information in so-called server log files, which are automatically transfered to us by your browser. These are, for example: browser type and browser version, operating system used, time of the server request, your IP address.
We do not merge this data with other data sources. The data is only used to ensure the error-free operation of the website.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of our website.
The data is only used in the event of errors or malfunctions and is automatically deleted within four weeks of collection at the latest.
The data is processed on the server on which this website runs, which may also be located outside the EU. The processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing contract and the use of so-called standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. d).
Handling your application data
We offer different ways to apply for a job with us.(e.g. by email, post or online application form).
If you send us an application we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). This is because we would have to document your application in the event of a dispute. The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion. This is the case, for example, when you are included in our applicant pool.
In this case, all documents and information from the application are transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR). Giving your consent is voluntary.
You can withdraw your consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for storage. The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
Communication with us through e-mail
If you send us an email, we will process your personal data. The legal basis for data processing is then at least our legitimate interest and/or your consent to communication (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or f GDPR).
Visits of our offices
When visiting our offices, you may have to register as a visitor with your name, company name, e-mail address and telephone number, as we maintain a visitors’ book for data protection reasons. We will inform you about the exact circumstances of this processing on site.
Registration for an event or an event organized by our company
When registering for an event or an event organized by our company, you give us your consent to process your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time.
Your data will also be processed after your registration on the basis of contract and legal obligations (e.g. from tax or brokerage regulations) (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and c GDPR). Your data will only be processed for the purpose of organizing the event. This includes, for example, your name, contact details, your company, details of participation, travel, accommodation and meals and, if applicable, further training certificates.
The data will be deleted immediately after the end of the event, unless it is still required for the performance of the contract or due to legal obligations.
Data will only be forwarded to third parties if this is absolutely necessary for the execution of the event. This is the case, for example, if we book accommodation, meals or travel for you.
Social Media
Social media providers are linked on our website. These are, for example, Facebook, Instagram. These are not so-called plugins, but real links. This means that if you click on the corresponding symbol of the provider, you will be redirected to our profile or our offer with these providers. This forwarding takes place with your specific consent, namely by clicking on the link. The providers each have their own data protection information that applies to processing on the corresponding websites. The processing is the responsibility of the respective provider. During forwarding, the provider may be informed that you have come from our site.
Registration and use of our Community, the Ant or the Knowledge Base
You can register on our website or log in to use additional functions on the site or our offers. We will only use the data you enter for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered.
For technically necessary changes, we use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you in this way.
The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of implementing the user relationship established by the registration. (Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR).
The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on this website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this
Who else do we forward your data to?
The fulfillment of legal obligations and the performance of our business operations make it necessary for us to forward your data to other persons, companies or authorities.
On the one hand, these are so-called processors who process your data on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR). However, we remain ultimately responsible for the processing.
Other recipients of your data are, for example
- Tax, audit or other authorities
- the Chamber of Industry and Commerce
- our tax consultant

Right to object to data collection in special cases and direct marketing
If the data processing is based on art. 6 abs. 1 f gdpr (legitimate interest), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection information. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to art. 21 para. 1 gdpr).
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us to do this. (see point “Who processes your data?”)
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If we have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
