Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply with us (e.g., by email, postal mail, or via an 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 are in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data is treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and purpose of data collection

When you send us an application, we process your personal data associated with it (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) as far as necessary to make a decision regarding employment. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG ander German law (initiation of employment), 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 only be shared within our company with persons involved in processing your application.

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

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 submitted for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal), based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Afterwards, the data will be deleted, and physical application documents will be destroyed. The retention serves primarily as proof in case of legal disputes. If it is apparent that the data will be needed after the 6-month period (e.g., due to pending or threatened legal action), deletion will only occur once the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

Longer retention is also possible if you have given explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, there is the possibility to include you in our applicant pool. If included, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so we can contact you if suitable vacancies arise.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is solely based on your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and unrelated 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 irreversibly deleted unless there are legal reasons to retain it.

Data from the applicant pool will be irreversibly deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
