We only process personal data of our users as far as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly only takes place with the user's consent or if the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. General Legal basis for the processing of personal data

As far as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

As far as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the case that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 para. 1 letter f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Handling of applicant data

If you send us an application by contact form, post (see also section VII.1.), e-mail or other means, we process your associated personal data in order to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. Your application data will only be made accessible within our company to persons involved in the decision-making process. If your application is successful, the application data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems.

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject it, withdraw your application or, if applicable, you revoke your consent to personal data processing, we will store the data you have submitted for a maximum of 6 months after the application process has been completed and then delete it. Should we wish to keep your personal data longer, we would obtain your consent for this.

4. Data deletion and storage duration

We delete your personal data in accordance with standardized processes as soon as it is no longer required for the aforementioned purposes of processing, in the event of an objection, there are no compelling reasons worthy of protection to the contrary, or in the event of a revocation of your consent, there is no other legal basis for processing. In certain cases, e.g., if there is a legal obligation to retain data, your personal data will initially be blocked and deleted upon expiry of the retention period.

As a data subject, you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed by us and, if so, the right to obtain information about the data stored about you and a copy of it (Article 15 of the GDPR). If inaccurate personal data is processed, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR).

However, if you have questions or complaints about data protection, we recommend that you first contact our data protection officer (see the contact details under section I.).

With service providers in third countries, we conclude the standard contractual clauses provided by the EU Commission of the European Union to protect your data.

We do not use your personal data for automated individual case decisions within the meaning of Art. 22 par. 1 GDPR.
