The website offers applicants the possibily to appy at the responsible party via e-mail or mail. In this process personal data which is connected to the specific application e.g., general personal data, information on schooling, vocational training and continuing education, as well as other information that applicants submit gets processed.

The responsible party processes personal data for the purpose of carrying out the application procedure as well as the settlement of the employment relationship, if such a relationship is established, on the basis of Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 (1,8) p.2 GDPR.

Furthermore, personal data may be processed if this is necessary for the fulfillment of legal obligations (Art. 6(1) lit. c DSGVO) or for the defense of asserted legal claims against the responsible party (Art. 6(1) lit. f DSGVO). The legitimate interest is, for example, a duty of proof in proceedings under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG)

Personal data is stored for the purposes mentioned above for as long as is necessary to fulfill these purposes. For the purpose of defending asserted legal claims from the application process against the responsible party, personal data will be stored for a maximum of 6 months and deleted afterwards.

If no employment relationship is currently considered, it is possible to include the application in an applicant pool. In case of acceptance, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact applicants in case of suitable vacancies. The inclusion in the applicant pool only follows based on consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a GDPR. The submission of consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The applicant may revoke his or her consent at any time. In this case, the data will be deleted from the applicant pool, unless there are legal reasons for retention. The data from the applicant pool will be stored for a maximum of 2 years and deleted afterwards.

The provision of personal data in the context of application procedures is neither legally nor contractually required. Applicants are therefore not obliged to provide any information. However, the provision of personal data is necessary for the decision on an application or the conclusion of a contract in relation to an employment relationship.

As far as applicants do not provide any personal data, the person responsible cannot make a decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. It is recommended to only provide personal data as part of the application that is required in this context.
