We assure that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality. 

 

Scope and purpose of data collection

Further information on data processing in accordance with Art. 12 ff. GDPR can be obtained from the person responsible to whom you submit your application.

 

The person responsible to whom you submit your application processes the associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship) and Art. 88 GDPR, Art Responsible companies – Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within the respective company to people who are involved in processing your application.

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, the jointly responsible parties reserve the right to process the data you have transmitted based on our legitimate interests (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR) up to To be kept with the person responsible for 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 evidentiary purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes clear that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

 

Longer storage can also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) to one or all of those responsible or if statutory retention obligations conflict with deletion.

 

Inclusion in the applicant pool

 

If one or the jointly responsible persons cannot make you a job offer, the respective responsible person may have the opportunity to include you in an applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

 

Inclusion in the applicant pool occurs exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) to the person responsible. Providing consent is voluntary and has no connection to the ongoing application process. The person concerned can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool unless there are legal reasons for retention.
