Privacy policy for applicants

We are pleased that you are interested in us and are applying or have applied for a position in our company. We would like to provide you with information below on the processing of your personal data in connection with the application.
 
Which of your data do we process? And for what purposes?
We process the data you have sent us in connection with your application in order to assess your suitability for the position (or other open positions in our companies, if applicable) and to carry out the application process.
 
What is the legal basis for this?
The primary legal basis for the processing of your personal data during this application process is Section 26 BDSG-Neu in the version applicable as of 25.05.2018. According to this, the processing of data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible.
 
Should the data be required for legal prosecution after the conclusion of the application process, if applicable, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 DSGVO, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) DSGVO. Our interest then consists in the assertion or defense of claims.
 
How long is the data stored?
Data of applicants will be deleted after 6 months in case of rejection. In the event that you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There, the data will be deleted after two years. If you have been awarded a position during the application process, the data will be transferred from the applicant data system to our HR information system.
 
To which recipients is the data passed on?
Your applicant data will be viewed by the HR department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the department managers responsible for the respective open position. The further processing is then coordinated. In principle, only those persons in the company have access to your data who require it for the proper conduct of our application process. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.
