We are pleased that you are interested in us and that you wish to apply or have already applied for a position in our company. In the following, we would like to provide you with information about the processing of your personal data in connection with your application. We process the data necessary for the online application process (name, email address and location) as well as data that you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or any other vacancies within our company) and to conduct the application process.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application process is primarily Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as amended on May 25 2018. It allows the processing of data required in connection with hiring decisions. Should the data be required for the assertion of legal rights after completion of the application process, data may be processed on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In such cases, our interest is in asserting or defending claims.
In the event of a rejection, candidate data will be deleted after 6 months. If you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will add your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after 2 years. If you are offered a job in the context of the application process, the data from data system will be transferred to our HR information system.
We use a specialist software provider for the application process. It acts as a service provider for us and, in the context of system maintenance and support, may also become aware of your personal data. We have concluded what’s known as a data processing agreement with this provider, which ensures that data processing is carried out in a permissible manner.
Upon receipt of your application, your application data will be reviewed by the HR department. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the department heads for the respective vacancies. The next steps to be taken are then agreed upon. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who need this for the regular conduct of our application process.
You have the possibility to object to the processing of your data at any time. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the previous description of the functions. In the event that your objection is justified, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or point out to you the compelling legitimate reasons on the basis of which we will continue processing.
