  • If the processing of your personal data was/unlawfully is carried out, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data but you need them to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

6. Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., via email, postal mail, or online application form). Below, we 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 is in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal requirements, and 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 during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-neu under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company exclusively with persons involved in processing your application.

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

Data Retention Period

If we cannot offer you a position, you decline a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months after the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Subsequently, the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention serves, in particular, evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period expires (e.g., due to a pending or imminent legal dispute), deletion will only occur once the purpose for further retention ceases.

Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations override deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we cannot offer you a position, there may be the possibility to include you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in the case of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool occurs exclusively based on your explicit consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The giving of consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application process. The data subject can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal retention reasons.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted at the latest two years after consent is given.
