6. Processing of personal data in the context of job applications
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by e-mail or post).
We process the data you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the job (or, if applicable, other open positions in our companies) and to carry out the application process. This concerns data such as: Contact details, communication data, personal data, application documents and availability.
The processing of data required in connection with the decision on the initiation of an employee relationship is permitted. The legal basis is Art. 6 para.1 lit. b) DSGVO (General Data Protection Regulation) in conjunction with applicable national employment law regulations.
Should the data be required for legal prosecution after the conclusion of the application process, data processing may be carried out to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO. Our interest then consists in the assertion or defense of claims.
In principle, only those persons/offices within the company will have access to your data that require it for the proper conduct of the application process. Our employees are bound to confidentiality and trained on the subject of data protection. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, withdraw your application, revoke your consent to data processing or request us to delete the data, the data you have submitted, including any remaining physical application documents, will be stored or retained (retention period) for a maximum of 6 months after completion of the application process in order to be able to trace the details of the application process in the event of discrepancies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para.1 lit. f) DSGVO.
In the event that you have consented to the inclusion of your application in our applicant pool for the purpose of filling subsequent vacancies (we will obtain your separate consent for this), the data will be deleted after a maximum of 12 months.

If you are awarded a position during the application process, your data will be transferred from the applicant data system to our HR information system.
The data will be processed on our in-house IT systems. Suitable technical and organizational measures protect the data against unauthorized access or data loss.
After the retention period has expired, the data is deleted unless there is a legal obligation to retain it or another legal reason for its continued storage. If it is apparent that it will be necessary to retain your data after the retention period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until it has become irrelevant. Other statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
7. Data subject rights
You have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO).
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.

Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority (Art. 13 DSGVO).
In the event of violations of the DSGVO, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO).
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, blocking, deletion and correction (Art. 15,16,17 DSGVO).
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data.

If the processing of your personal data has happened / is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
