3. Personal data in the context of the application process

 Personal data is information about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number and date of birth, but also data about your specific career, etc., which can be assigned to a specific person with reasonable effort. Information that is not (un)indirectly associated with your real identity, on the other hand, is not personal data.

4. Principles and purposes for processing personal data in applications and in the application process

​If you apply to us electronically, i.e. by e-mail or via our web form, we will collect and process your personal data for the purpose of processing the application and carrying out pre-contractual measures.

By submitting an application on our recruiting page, you express your interest in taking up employment with us. In this context, you provide us with personal data that we use and store exclusively for the purpose of your job search/application.

In particular, the following data is collected:
Name (first and last name)
E-mail address
Telephone number
LinkedIn profile or Xing profile
Channel, via which you became aware of us

You also have the option of uploading relevant documents such as a cover letter, your resume, and references. These may contain further personal data such as date of birth, address, etc.

Only authorized employees from the HR department or employees involved in the application process have access to your data.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is the fulfillment of our (pre)contractual obligations in the context of the application process within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b. DSGVO. Furthermore, the legal basis is our legitimate interest Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO, insofar as data processing becomes necessary for us, e.g. in the context of legal proceedings. If you voluntarily provide us with special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) DSGVO (e.g. health data, severely disabled status or ethnic origin) as part of the application process, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 9 (2) lit. b DSGVO. If we request special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) DSGVO from you as part of the application process (e.g. health data), the legal basis for the processing is Art. 9 (2) a DSGVO.

The data you provide as part of the application process may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship in the event of a successful application.

If your application is not successful, your data will be stored for a period of 90 days beyond the end of the application process. This is usually done to fulfill legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. Subsequently, we are obliged to delete or anonymize your data. Your data will also be deleted or anonymized if you withdraw your application. In the event of anonymization, the data will only be available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (for example, proportion of applications from women or men, number of applications per period, etc.). Invoices for any travel expense reimbursements are archived in accordance with tax law requirements.

In addition, you can consent to the inclusion of your data in our "Talent Pool". In the event of your consent, we reserve the right to store your data for 365 days after the end of the application process in order to identify any other interesting positions for you. This also applies, for example, to applications for apprenticeships or internships.

You can give your consent as part of the application process. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for use in our Talent Pool, if you have given your consent in this regard, is Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can also revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In the event of revocation, we will immediately delete your data from our Talent Pool.

This database is operated by Personio GmbH, Rundfunkplatz 4, 80335 Munich (hereinafter "Personio"), which provides the personnel administration and applicant management software we use (https://www.personio.de/impressum/).

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.
