Your visit to our website is recorded. We generally collect the following data that your browser sends to us:
This data is only collected for the purposes of data security, improving our website offer and analysing errors on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR). The IP address of your PC is only analysed in anonymised form (shortened by the last three digits). In all other respects, you are able to visit our website without providing information on your identity.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (such as E-Mail communication) is subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties. Confidential data should therefore be sent to us by other means, such as by mail.
We collect and processe personal data of applicants for the purpose of conducting the application process. Your data will be processed for the purpose of hiring for positions in the entire corporate group of the organisation. By submitting your application data, you consent to the use of your data in all affiliated organisations.
Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant transmits corresponding application documents electronically to the data processor, such as by E-Mail or using an online form on the website.
Should we conclude an employment contract, the transmitted data shall be stored and disclosed to relevant departments and persons for the purpose of executing the employment relationship and onboarding process, in accordance with statutory provisions.
If we do not conclude an employment contract, the application documents shall be deleted following the staffing of the vacancy in accordance with statutory provisions, provided such deletion is not opposed by any other legitimate interests of the data processor. Other legitimate interests in this sense includes, for example, evidence in a proceeding according to the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
We can only process applications that are sent to the E-Mail address: “jobs@aoe.com”, either directly or through the AOE Job Application Portal. Applications sent via this portal are sent to a separate mailbox to which only selected users have access. Should you use a different E-Mail address belonging to our company, your application can not be recognized by our systems and will not be taken into consideration. Should your application reach our server via the above-mentioned E-Mail address or Portal, we will protect your application with suitable technical and organisational measures.
Personal data (such as your name, address data or contact details) which you voluntarily disclose to us, for example in connection with a request or otherwise, will be stored by us and only processed for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you have provided us with this data.
In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption techniques (SSL) via HTTPS, which accord with state-of-the-art technology.
We may utilise service providers in connection with data processing in order to perform and execute processes.
Specifically, we have involved service providers for the purpose of hosting our website.
Contractual relationships are established with our service providers, which meet the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR; the contractual provisions contain the statutorily required points on data protection and data security.
We use HubSpot CRM to process and manage contact and information requests. In order to respond to your contact and information requests in your interest HubSpot assigns your request to the responsible departments and employees and retains a contact history.

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page. Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Conversion cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy:
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
