How we handle applicants’ data
If you are interested, you can apply for a position at our company (e.g. via e-mail, post or our online application form). This page is designed to provide information about the scope of the personal data we will collect from you during the application process, the purpose of this collection and how the data is used. We hereby assure all applicants that the collection, processing and use of their data shall be conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other applicable regulations, and that their data shall be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of data collection
If you submit an application to us, we will process your personal data associated with said application (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notices regarding interviews, etc.) to the extent required in order for us to reach a decision on whether to enter into an employment relationship with you. The legal basis for this processing is provided by Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) (initiating an employment relationship), Art. 6, Para. 1(b) of the GDPR (general entry into a contract) and – if you have provided your consent accordingly – Art. 6, Para. 1(a) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons who are involved in the processing of your application.
If your application is successful, the data you have submitted to us shall be saved in our data processing system for the purpose of pursuing our employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 of the BDSG and Art. 6, Para. 1(b) of the GDPR.

Data retention period
If we are unable to offer you a position, if you turn down an offer of a position from us, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted to us for up to 6 (six) months following the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application), on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6, Para. 1(f), GDPR). Once this period expires, your data will be deleted and your physical application documents destroyed. In particular, data is retained in this context for use as evidence in case of a legal dispute. If it can be reasonably expected that the data may be required after the expiry of the six-month retention period (e.g. due a potential or pending legal dispute), it shall not be erased until the purpose for which the retention period has been extended ceases to exist.
Your data can also be retained for an extended period if you have provided us with consent for this purpose (Art. 6, Para 1(a), GDPR), or if erasure of the data would be in contravention of the legal obligations regarding data retention.
