6. Individual services

Handling applicant data

We will give you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, by post or via the online application form). We will now inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data being collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your information will be collected, processed and used in accordance with the applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Scope and purpose of data collection

We will process your associated personal data when you send us an application (e.g. contact and communication details, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) provided that these are required to make a decision on finalising an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Art. 26 of the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act), which is new according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6, para. 1, p. 1b of the DSGVO (general contract initiation) and Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1a) of the DSGVO if you have given your consent. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. Your personal information will only be passed on to individuals within our company who are involved in processing your application.

Any data you have submitted will be processed on the basis of Art. 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6, para. 1, p. 1b) of the DSGVO if your application has been successful and for the purpose of continuing the employment relationship in our data processing systems.

Data retention period

We reserve the right to process any data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests if we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application (Art. 6. para 1 lit. f of GDPR) for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) with us. The information will then be deleted and any physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage will serve specifically as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. It will only be deleted if the purpose for further storage no longer applies should it be apparent that the information will be required after the six-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute).

The period of storage may last longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6, para. 1 lit. of GDPR) or if statutory retention requirements prevent it from being deleted.

Admission to the pool of applicants

It may be possible for us to include you in our pool of applicants if we do not make you a job offer. All documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool if you are accepted meaning that you can be contacted if there are any suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the pool of applicants takes place exclusively on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1a) of the DSGVO. Giving your consent is voluntary and has no bearing on the ongoing application process. The individual in question can revoke their consent at any time. The data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool under such circumstances, provided that there are no legal grounds for retention.

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