We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprints obligation of this website for sending advertising and information material not expressly requested by us.

4. Data collection on this website

Server log files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically sends to us. These include:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not aggregated with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website. For this purpose, server log files are collected.

Enquiry via e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us via e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR,  if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR), and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing the enquiries sent to us.

We will store the data you send to us via contact requests until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. Proprietary Services

Handling of applicant data

We provide you with the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via an online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

When you send us an application, we process your corresponding personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent that it is necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-neu under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and, if you have given your consent, Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you sent us will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of initiating an employment relationship.

Retention period of stored data

In case we are unable to make you a job offer, or if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have sent us for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (or the rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR). The data will then be deleted and any physical application documents destroyed. This storage period serves as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has ended (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further retention no longer applies.

A longer storage period may also ensue if you have given your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal storage obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in our applicant pool

In case we are unable to make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and details from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The person in question can revoke his/her consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be permanently deleted, unless there are legal reasons for retention of the data.

Data from the applicant pool will be permanently deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
