3. LAWFULNESS OF PROCESSING

Where necessary for hiring decisions, we process your personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The lawful basis for processing is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG (revised version) as well as, where applicable, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, where processing is needed for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Further, we process your personal data where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR) or for the defense of legal claims made against us. The lawful basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
A legitimate interest in this relation is, for example, burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). Processing is lawful pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR only if and to the extent that you have given express consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more specific purposes. Consent may be withdrawn at any time (see Point 9 of this data protection statement).
Under Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG (revised version), should we enter into an employment relationship with you, we reserve the right, for the purpose of the employment relationship, to continue to process any and all personal data previously received from you, insofar as this is necessary to enter into or terminate employment relations as well as to execute or implement the rights and obligations pertaining to the duty of fair representation of employee interests under the law or arising from a collective bargaining agreement or an employer/works council agreement (collective bargaining agreement).

4. PERSONAL DATA CATEGORIES

We only process data in relation to your application. This can include general personal data such as your name, address and contact data, details of your professional qualifications, schooling and continuing education as well as other data that you may transmit to us in connection with your application.

5. DATA SOURCES

We process personal data which we receive from you by post or e-mail when you contact us as well as in relation to your application.

6. DATA RECIPIENT

We disclose your personal data within the company exclusively to departments and individuals that require said data to fulfil contractual and legal obligations or to pursue a legitimate interest.
We may transfer your personal data to affiliated companies provided this is permissible in relation to the purpose and lawful basis of processing outlined in Point 3 of this data protection information sheet.
Data shall be disclosed to persons outside the company only insofar as permitted or required by law, required to fulfil legal obligations or informed consent has been granted.

7. DATA TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES

We do not intend to transfer data to a third country.

8. DATA RETENTION PERIOD

We store your personal data for as long as necessary for the decision on your application to be made. Your personal data or application documents are deleted within six months of the end of the application process at the latest (e.g. following notification of the rejection decision), unless it is necessary or permissible by law to store the data for a longer period. Your personal data shall be stored beyond this period only where this is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims in a legal dispute, either by law or in the specific case.
Where you have consented to your data being stored longer, your data shall be stored solely in accordance with your declaration of consent.
If your application is successful and results in an employment, training or internship contract, your data shall initially be retained and subsequently transferred to your personnel file insofar as this is required and permissible.
After the application process, you may receive an invitation to join our talent pool. This allows us to consider you for suitable openings in future. We can save your application data in our talent pool in accordance with your informed consent, provided this has been granted or, where applicable, on the basis of future consent.

9. YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right of access to data under Art. 15 GDPR, the right of rectification under Art. 16 GDPR, a right of erasure under Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing under Art. 18 GDPR, the right to notification under Art. 19 GDPR as well as the right of data portability under Art. 20 GDPR.
Further, pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes this regulation.
Under Art. 7 GDPR, where processing is based on consent, you shall have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Please not that we are obligated to retain certain data for a certain time period or for the purpose of fulfilling legal requirements (s. Point 8 of this Data Protection Information).

Right to object

Under Art. 21 GDPR, insofar as processing of personal data is required for the purposes of pursuing legitimate interests under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, you shall have the right to object, at any time and on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. We shall no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or which are needed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Do not hesitate to contact if you have any questions relating to the protection of your rights.

10. DUTY TO INFORM

You are neither required by law nor bound by contract to provide personal data as part of the application process. According, you are under no obligation to disclose personal information. Please note, however, that this information is needed for application decisions as well as for the conclusion of an employment contract. Failure to provide us with personal data prevents us from making a hiring decision. For the application process, we recommend that you only disclose data that is required for your application.

11. AUTOMATIC DECISION-MAKING

The decision on your application will not be based on automated processing. Pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR, automated individual decision-making will thus not be carried out.
