5. Own Services
Handling of applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post or via online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure that the collection, processing and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the context of job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons who are involved in the processing of your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Data Retention Period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you provide to us for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Subsequently, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents will be destroyed. In particular, the storage serves for verification purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations preclude deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, we may have the option of adding you to our pool of applicants. 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 is based exclusively on your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The submission of consent is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application process. The data subject may revoke his or her consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are legal reasons for retention.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
