If you assert a legitimate deletion request or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis of data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Note on data transfer to third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection, as well as transfer to US companies that are not DPF certified.

We use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to point out that in third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We would like to point out that the USA is generally considered a safe third country with a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipient of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external entities. We only disclose personal data to external entities when it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. sharing data with tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in the disclosure, or when another legal basis allows for the data transfer. When using data processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed to conduct direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (Objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

In case of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, correction, and deletion

You have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing at any time within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have filed an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may - apart from their storage - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.

In the following, we will 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 are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal regulations, and your data will be treated strictly confidentially.

Scope and purpose of data collection

When you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to make a decision about establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and - if you have given consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company with individuals involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to offer you a job, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to keep the data you have provided to us based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Subsequently, the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the expiration of the 6-month period (e.g. due to a pending or threatened legal dispute), deletion will only take place once the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

A longer retention period can also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.
