Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via online application form). In the following, we would like to inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data is treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (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. You can revoke your consent at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to people who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Data retention period

If we cannot offer you a job, 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 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage serves in particular for verification purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to a pending or imminent legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for the further storage no longer applies.

A longer retention period may also take place if you have given your corresponding consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
