7. Own services
Handling applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post or via our online application form). The information that follows outlines the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected during the application process. We ensure that your data is collected, processed and used in accordance with current data protection regulations and all other legal provisions, and that it is treated with strict confidentiality.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we will process the personal data associated with it (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes within the scope of job interviews, etc.) if this is necessary when making a decision on whether to offer you employment. If you have issued a declaration of consent, you can revoke this at any time. Within our company, your personal data will solely be forwarded to people involved in processing your application.
If your application is successful, the data you have provided will be stored in our data processing system for the purpose of performing the employment relationship.
Data retention period
If we are unable to offer you employment, you reject a job or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you provided to us for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests. The data will then be erased and the physical application documents destroyed. The data storage is in particular for evidential purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will still be needed after this six-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), it will only be erased when the purpose for further storage ceases to exist.
The data can also be retained for longer if you have issued a declaration of consent in this regard or if legal retention obligations preclude erasure.
