7. Our own services Handling of applicant data 

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). Below, we 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 will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality. Scope and purpose of data collection If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Your consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application. If your application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the new Federal Data Protection Act and Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship. Data Retention Period If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted for up to six months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. Retention is primarily for evidential purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the six-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), it will only be deleted when the purpose for continued storage no longer applies. Longer retention may also occur if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion. Inclusion in the applicant pool If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the opportunity to be included in our applicant pool. If you are accepted, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you if suitable vacancies arise.Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Providing your consent is voluntary and has no connection to the ongoing application process. The data subject may revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool unless there are legal reasons for retention.The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is granted. 

Our social media presence

Data processing by social networks 
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use can be found below.Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presence triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail: If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection occurs, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles that contain your preferences and interests. This allows you to see interest-based advertising both within and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in. Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals. Legal Basis Our social media presence is intended to ensure the most comprehensive online presence possible. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Controller and Assertion of Rights If you visit one of our social media presences (e.g., Facebook), we and the operator of the social media platform are jointly responsible for the data processing operations initiated during this visit. You can generally assert your rights (rights to information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options depend largely on the company policy of the respective provider. Storage Period The data we collect directly via our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).
