Providing the data marked as mandatory is required in order to process your request.

Processing is carried out to handle your request, to communicate with you, and, where applicable, to take pre-contractual measures.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the conclusion of a contract or pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Our legitimate interest lies in efficiently handling and responding to inquiries.

The data will be deleted once your request has been fully resolved and no legal retention obligations or legitimate interests require further storage.

In particular, the following data may be processed:

  • First and last name

  • Contact details

Processing is carried out for the purpose of conducting the application process and deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, it is also carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Our legitimate interest lies in the assertion and defense of legal claims.

We only process special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR if this is legally permitted or required, or if you voluntarily provide such data and its processing is necessary for the application process.

Your application data will be made accessible internally only to those persons involved in the application process, in particular management and the responsible specialist departments.

Application data is generally deleted no later than 7 months after completion of the application process, unless longer storage is required by law or is based on separate consent.

Inclusion in a candidate pool only takes place with your separate consent.

No automated decision-making takes place in the application process.

13. Recipients of personal data

Within our company, only those persons have access to personal data who need it to fulfil the respective purposes.

  • Email and communication service providers

  • Provider of the consent management tool

  • Other technical service providers in the context of operating our website

If service providers process personal data on our behalf, this is done on the basis of a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Personal data is only disclosed if there is a legal basis for doing so.

14. Transfer to third countries

As a rule, personal data is not transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.

If, in individual cases, a transfer is required in connection with specific services (e.g. IT service providers or content delivery networks), we ensure that appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are in place.

Such transfers are carried out exclusively in compliance with the GDPR, in particular on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses), or a legal exception.

15. Retention period

We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purposes.

If no specific retention periods are specified, data is deleted once the respective purpose no longer applies.

In general, we may also store personal data where legal retention obligations exist or where storage is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Once the respective purpose ceases to apply and any statutory retention periods have expired, personal data is deleted or anonymized.

  • Identification data

  • Contact details

20. Withdrawal of consent

If processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future.

The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.

You can withdraw or modify your consent to optional cookies and similar technologies via the cookie settings on our website.
