Personal data collected as part of the application process
Personal data means any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual. This includes information such as, for example, your name, address, telephone number and date of birth, but also data relating to your specific career etc. by reference to which a specific individual can be identified with reasonable effort. However, information which cannot be (in)directly associated with your real-life identity is not personal data.

Fundamentals and purposes of processing personal data collected from application documents and during the application process
If you apply to us electronically, i.e. via e-mail or using our online form, we will collect and process your personal data for the purpose of executing the application process and preparing contracts.
By submitting an application via our recruitment website, you express your interest in taking up work with us. In this context, you transmit personal data, which we will use and store exclusively for the purpose of your job search / application process.
Our data processing refers to all data that you provide to us as part of the recruitment process. Thus, any type of personal data that is usually transmitted as part of an application process can be the subject of our data processing.
In particular, the following data is collected during this process:

your name (first and last names)
e-mail address
phone number(s)
LinkedIn profile (optional)
channel through which you found us

Furthermore, you can choose to upload expressive documents such as a cover letter, your CV and reference letters. These contain additional personal data such as date of birth, address etc. These personal data will also be used and stored from us within the recruiting process.

Only authorized HR staff and/or staff involved in the application process have access to your data.

The personal data is stored, as a rule, exclusively for the purpose of filling the vacancy for which you have applied.

Your data will be stored for a period of 4 months after the application process has been concluded. This is usually done to fulfil legal requirements and/or defending ourselves against any claims arising from legal provisions. After this period, we are obligated to delete or anonymize your data. In case of anonymization, the data will only be available to us in the form of so-called metadata, without any direct personal reference, for statistical analysis (for example, share of male and/or female applicants, number of applications per specified period of time etc.).

This data processing described above is carried out on the legal basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, as we are at a pre-contractual stage with regard to an employment relationship to be entered into.

Furthermore, we will perhaps ask you for the right to keep your data stored even after the above-mentioned period of time for the purpose of adding it to our Talent Pool in order to identify any other vacancies that may be of interest to you. This includes, for example, applications for apprenticeships or internships.
In this case, the legal basis for further data storage is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Should you be offered and accept a position with us during the application process, we will store the personal data collected as part of the application process for at least the duration of your employment. We usually store the data even after you leave our company for the duration of the limitation period with regard to claims arising from the employment relationship.

Disclosure of data to third parties
Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database is operated by Personio GmbH, which offers a human resource and applicant management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). In this context, Personio is our processor under article 28 of the GDPR. In this case, the processing is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between us as the controller and Personio.
Personio is a German company. Your personal data will always be processed within the European Union.

Rights of data subjects
You have the right

in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR to revoke a consent once given to us at any time. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent for the future;
to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. In particular, you may request information about the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data if it has not been collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details;
in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to demand the immediate correction of incorrect or completion of your personal data stored by us;
pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its erasure and we no longer require the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR;
pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another controller; and
complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace or our company headquarters for this purpose.

To exercise your rights, simply send an e-mail to us.

Special right of objection

Insofar as your personal data are processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Article 21 GDPR, insofar as there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation.

If you would like to exercise your right of objection, an e-mail to us.

Voluntariness of the data transmission
You are not obliged to provide us with your personal data. However, without your personal data, we unfortunately cannot consider you in the application process. If you do not provide us with all the usual and meaningful personal data, you can participate in the application process, but this will affect the likelihood of employment with us.

Concluding provisions
We reserve the right to adjust this data privacy statement at any point in time to ensure that it is in line with the current legal requirements at all times, or in order to accommodate changes in the application process or other processes. In this case, the new data privacy statement applies to any later visit of this recruitment website or any later job application.
