Revocation of Consent

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. A simple informal message by email is sufficient. The legality of processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object in Special Cases and Against Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object, at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the legal basis for processing in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR). After your objection, your data will no longer be used for such advertising purposes.

Right to File a Complaint

In case of GDPR violations, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or alleged infringement.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to request its transfer to another controller, where technically feasible.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect confidential content (like orders or inquiries), this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can see this from the address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and from the lock icon in your browser’s address line.
When SSL/TLS encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Deletion and Correction

You have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and processing purposes, as well as the right to request correction or deletion at any time, under applicable laws. For this and further questions about personal data, please contact us at the address provided in the legal notice.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at the address in the legal notice. The right to restriction applies if:

  • You contest the accuracy of the data and need time to verify it.

  • The processing is unlawful and you prefer restriction over deletion.

  • We no longer need the data for processing, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

  • You have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR pending verification of whether our grounds override yours.

If processing is restricted, the data (apart from storage) may only be processed with your consent, for legal claims, for protecting another person’s rights, or for important public interest of the EU or a member state.

7. Our Own Services

Handling Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post, or online form). The following explains which personal data is collected during the application process, for what purpose, and how it is used. We assure you that processing is in compliance with applicable data protection law and kept strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of data collection
If you apply to us, we process your personal data (contact and communication details, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) insofar as it is necessary to decide on establishing an employment relationship. Legal bases are § 26 BDSG-neu, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, and—if consent is given—Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Your data is shared only with individuals involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, your submitted data is stored in our systems based on § 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for employment purposes.

Data retention period
If we cannot make you an offer, you decline our offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain your submitted data based on legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal). Thereafter, the data will be deleted and any physical documents destroyed. Retention serves, among other things, as evidence in legal proceedings. If it is foreseeable your data will be needed after six months (e.g. for pending legal matters), deletion will occur when this reason ends.
Longer retention may occur if you have consented (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) or if legal retention obligations oppose deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we cannot make you an offer, you may be included in our applicant pool. In that case, all documents and information are transferred to the pool to contact you for future suitable vacancies. Pool inclusion is solely based on your explicit consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). Consent is voluntary and unrelated to the application process. You can withdraw consent at any time, leading to irrevocable deletion of your applicant-pool data, unless legal retention reasons apply. Data in the pool is deleted at the latest two years after consent is granted.
