Legal Basis for Processing

Where we obtain your consent for a specific processing activity, the legal basis for processing your personal data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party—for example, where processing is required for the delivery of goods or the provision of services—the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies where processing is necessary in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, such as responding to enquiries regarding our products or services.

Where we are subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, for example to comply with tax or other statutory obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In such cases, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Processing may also be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR where it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms requiring the protection of personal data.

Disclosure of Data

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only disclose your personal data if:

  • you have given your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR;
  • disclosure is necessary pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, provided there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in preventing such disclosure;
  • disclosure is required by law pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR; or
  • disclosure is legally permissible and necessary pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the performance of a contract with you.

Rights of Data Subjects

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access (Article 15 GDPR): You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we process concerning you. This includes information about the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of the right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the source of your data where it was not collected directly from you, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, together with meaningful information about the logic involved.
  • Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR): You have the right to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you or the completion of incomplete personal data stored by us.
  • Right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data stored by us, unless processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR): You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data if you contest the accuracy of the data, if the processing is unlawful but you oppose its erasure, if we no longer need the data but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or if you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 GDPR.
  • Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR): You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request its transmission to another controller.
  • Right not to be subject to automated decision-making (Article 22 GDPR): You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
  • Right to withdraw consent (Article 7(3) GDPR): You may withdraw any consent you have previously given at any time with effect for the future. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
  • Right to lodge a complaint (Article 77 GDPR): Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. As a rule, you may contact the supervisory authority at your habitual place of residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

Processing of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for positions with our company (e.g. by email, post or via our online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected during the application process.

We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data are carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation and all other statutory provisions and that your data are treated in strict confidence.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you submit an application to us, we process the personal data associated with your application (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary for deciding whether to establish an employment relationship.

The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG) (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) and—where you have given your consent—Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Within our company, your personal data will only be made available to those persons who are involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Data Retention Period

If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for up to six months following the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

After this period, the data will be deleted and any physical application documents will be destroyed.

The retention of the data serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of legal proceedings.

Where it is apparent that the data will continue to be required after expiry of the six-month retention period (e.g. due to pending or anticipated legal proceedings), deletion will take place only once the purpose for the extended retention no longer applies.

A longer retention period may also apply where you have given your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or where statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we are unable to offer you a position, you may be offered the opportunity to be included in our applicant pool.

If you are included in the applicant pool, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we may contact you should a suitable vacancy arise.

Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place solely on the basis of your explicit consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Giving your consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application process.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. In this case, your data will be permanently deleted from the applicant pool unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.

The data stored in the applicant pool will be permanently deleted no later than two years after your consent has been given.

In addition, your application data may be disclosed to processors pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

The following processor has been engaged for the application process:
