We process the data you provide in connection with your application via our online career portal to provide you with an account, assess your suitability for the position (or other open positions within our company), and carry out the application process.

If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. If you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated personal data (e.g., contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship.

The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent:

• Date and time of the enquiry
• URL from which the enquiry was made

It is also possible to contact us via the email addresses provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. This includes the date and time the e-mail was sent, e-mail address, IP addresses and information on the servers involved in the e-mail communication.

You can also contact us via the telephone number provided. In this case, we collect log data that includes your telephone number and the duration of the call.
Regardless of the type of communication selected, we collect the content of your enquiry. Your data is stored for the purpose of personalised communication with you.

Providing the data is voluntary. However, without the required data, we cannot make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship.
If your application results in an employment contract, your data may be processed and used in compliance with applicable legal regulations, about which you will be separately informed.

You have the right to withdraw your application at any time. Under the “Options – Settings” tab, you can delete your profile independently at any time.

The primary legal basis for processing your personal data in this application process is § 26 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act). Processing is permitted if it is necessary for making decisions about establishing an employment relationship. Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (General Contract Negotiations) and – provided you have given us your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the processing of your job application.

If your job application should result in your recruitment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship in our data processing system.

If you contact us in connection with an existing contractual relationship, the data entered in the contact form will be processed to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

If the data is required for legal prosecution after the application process has ended, data processing may occur under the provisions of Article 6 GDPR, particularly to protect legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1(f) GDPR. Our interest in such cases would be the assertion or defense of legal claims.

Your account will remain stored until you delete it. Inactive accounts will be deleted by us after two years of inactivity.

Applicant data will be automatically deleted six months after rejection.

If you have agreed to the further storage of your personal data and we have included it in our talent pool, your data will be deleted after a storage period of two years (starting from your last update in the e-recruiting system or the completion of the application process), unless you delete it yourself in the system before the end of this period or revoke your agreement.

If you receive an offer for a position during the application process, the data from the applicant management system will be transferred to our HR information system.

In case of legal claims regarding the rejection of applicants, data will be stored as long as necessary due to legal disputes or statutory retention obligations.

The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion. After the retention period, we will delete your personal data and retain only anonymized data for reporting/statistical purposes.

After submitting your application and creating a candidate profile, your applicant data will be reviewed by the HR department. Suitable applications will then be forwarded internally to those responsible for the respective open position, and the process will continue. In general, only those persons within the company who need access to your data for the proper processing of our application process will have access. Your data will always be treated confidentially.

They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.

Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies serve a variety of purposes. Many cookies are technically essential, as certain website features would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the execution of electronic communication transactions, for the provision of certain functions that you wish to use (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or that are necessary for the optimisation (necessary cookies) of the website (e.g. cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), are used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in storing the necessary cookies in order to ensure the technically faultless and optimised provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of cookies and similar identification technologies has been requested, the processing will only take place on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

We use WP Statistics with anonymized IP. Your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be directly assigned to you.

This website integrates videos from the YouTube website. The website is operated by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of these websites on which YouTube is integrated, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos played in extended privacy mode are not used to personalise your YouTube experience. Similarly, ads shown in enhanced privacy mode are not personalised. Extended privacy mode does not set cookies. Instead, local storage elements, which contain personal information similar to cookies and can be used for recognition, are stored in the user’s browser. Details on the extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.
After activating a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.
