Order Data Processing

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities regarding the use of Google Analytics.

IP anonymization

We use the “IP anonymization” feature on this website. As a result, Google will truncate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Contact Form

If you submit an inquiry to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the form—including the contact details you enter there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case we have any follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a position with us (e.g., by email, mail, or via our online application form). Below, we provide information about the scope, purpose, and use of the personal data collected from you 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 provisions, and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

When you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication details, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general contract initiation), and—provided you have given your consent—Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Consent may be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company exclusively with those individuals involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems in accordance with Section 26 of the New Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) and Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the purpose of administering the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for up to 6 months from the conclusion 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. The retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will not take place until the purpose for continued retention no longer applies.

Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have provided your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention requirements prevent its deletion.

Inclusion in the applicant pool

If we do not offer you a position, we may add you to our applicant pool. If we do add you, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you if suitable openings arise.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and has no bearing on the ongoing application process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be permanently deleted from the applicant pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.

Data from the applicant pool will be permanently deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
