This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and in order to protect the transfer of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you submit to us as the website operator.

  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you shall have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
  • If you have filed an objection according to Art. 21 Para. 1 of the GDPR, your interests and our interests shall be weighed. Until a decision has been reached concerning the prevailing interests, you shall have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

6. Own Services

Handling applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to work with us (e.g., by email or using conventional mail or our online application form). The following text informs you about the extent, purpose, and usage of the personal data that we collect from you during the application process. We guarantee that the collection, processing, and usage of your data is performed in accordance with the applicable data privacy legislation and all other legal provisions and that we treat your data strictly confidentially.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your personal data related to this application (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent required to reach a decision regarding the formation of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 of the new BDSG [Federal Data Protection Act] pursuant to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Para. 1 b of the GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have granted your consent – Art. 6 Para. 1 a of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. We shall transmit your personal data only to persons within our company who are involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, we shall store the data you submitted based on § 26 of the new BSDC and Art. 6 Para. 1 b of the GDPR in order to establish the employment relationship.

Storage period for data

If we are unable to offer you a position, if you reject a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have transmitted to us for up to six months after the termination of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 f of the GDPR). After that time, we will delete the data and destroy the physical application. In particular, storage serves verification purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is foreseeable that the data will be required after the expiration of the 6-month period (e.g., owing to an imminent or pending legal dispute), this data will be deleted only after the purpose for its continued storage has ceased to exist.

Additionally, storage may be prolonged if you have granted your consent to this (Art. 6 Para. 1 a of the GDPR) or if legal storage obligations speak against deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we are unable to offer you a position, we may be able to include you in our applicant pool. If you are included in this pool, we will transfer all documents and information from your application to the applicant pool so we can contact you in the event of appropriate vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place only if you have expressly granted consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 a of the GDPR). Your consent is granted on a voluntary basis, and it bears no relation to ongoing application procedures. The party in question may revoke its consent at all times. In this instance, the data from the applicant pool is irrecoverably deleted, provided no legal reasons for storage exist.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrecoverably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
