2. Purpose and Legal Basis of Data Processing

We process your personal data exclusively for the purpose of carrying out the application process and deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship (§ 26 Para. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Insofar as special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are concerned (e.g., health data), processing is carried out on the basis of § 26 Para. 3 BDSG or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b GDPR.

If an employment relationship is established, your application data will be further processed for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship in accordance with § 26 Para. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

If you grant us consent for the further storage of your data in the applicant pool, processing will additionally be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time.

For the defense or assertion of legal claims, processing may also be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest then lies in the preservation of rights.

3. Categories of Data Processed

Specifically, the following data categories are processed:

Master data (e.g., name, address, contact details, date of birth)
Application documents (e.g., CV, cover letter, certificates)
Communication data (e.g., email correspondence, meeting notes)
Special categories of personal data, if voluntarily provided or legally required (e.g., information on a severe disability)

4. Recipients of the Data

Within our company, only those persons involved in the application process have access to your data. Furthermore, we engage an external IT service provider as a processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, with whom a corresponding contract has been concluded.

No disclosure to third parties outside our company takes place, unless you have consented or there is a legal obligation.

5. Storage Period

Your data will be deleted six months after the conclusion of the application process, unless longer storage is required for the assertion or defense of legal claims (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with § 22 Para. 1 No. 1 lit. b BDSG). Physical documents will be destroyed in compliance with data protection regulations.

In case of consent to be included in our applicant pool, data will be deleted after a maximum of two years.

In the event of employment, your application data will be transferred to our human resources information system and further processed there within the scope of the employment relationship (§ 26 Para. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

6. Location of Data Processing

Your personal data is generally processed in data centers within the Federal Republic of Germany. If, in individual cases, processing takes place outside Germany, we ensure through appropriate contractual, technical, and organizational measures that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.
