We process the data that you have provided directly or via an intermediary and that are necessary for the aforementioned purposes.
5. Recipients
We only pass on your personal data within our company to those departments and persons who need this data to fulfill (pre-)contractual and statutory obligations or to implement our legitimate interest. Under certain circumstances, your data may be processed by processors (e.g. hosting providers). These have been checked by us for data protection compliance and process the data exclusively on our instructions. Data disclosure to recipients outside the company otherwise only takes place insofar as statutory provisions permit or require it, disclosure is necessary to fulfill legal obligations or we have your consent.
6. Duration of processing
We store your personal data for as long as this is necessary for the decision on your application. Your personal data or application documents will be deleted a maximum of six months after the end of the application process, unless longer storage is legally required or permitted. Beyond this, we only store your personal data insofar as this is legally necessary or necessary in the specific case for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims for the duration of legal proceedings. If an employment relationship, training relationship or internship relationship follows the application process, your data will continue to be stored insofar as necessary and permitted, and then transferred to the personnel file.
7. Data subject rights
Every data subject has the right to information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, the right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, the right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, the right to notification pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR and the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR. In addition, there is a right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful. The right to complain exists regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedy. If data processing is based on your consent, you are entitled pursuant to Art. 7 GDPR to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected. Please also note that we may be required to retain certain data for a certain period of time to fulfill statutory requirements.
8. Right to object
Insofar as the processing of your personal data is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the protection of legitimate interests, you have the right pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to object to the processing of this data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process this personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
9. Necessity of providing personal data
The provision of personal data in the context of application processes is neither legally nor contractually required. You are therefore not obliged to provide information about your personal data. However, please note that this data is necessary for the decision on an application or the conclusion of a contract regarding an employment relationship with us. If you do not provide us with personal data, we cannot make a decision on establishing an employment relationship. We recommend that you only provide personal data in your application that is necessary for carrying out the application process.
