The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 I S 1 b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is required to carry out pre-contractual action.

Data protection when sending application documents

If you send us your application documents, we will only use them to decide on your application and will not pass on your data to third parties. We point out that when sending application documents by e-mail no encryption of your data is currently offered by us. However, you can choose your equipment, e.g. with the program 7ZIP (http://www.7-zip.de/) encrypted to us by e-mail and send us separately, e.g. communicate your password by phone. Upon receipt of your application you will receive an e-mail message from us to your e-mail address. You can also send us your application by post at any time.

Application data is stored and managed separately from other records.

If we conclude a contract of employment with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of the employment relationship in compliance with the legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted no later than 6 months after notification of the rejection decision, if deletion does not prejudice any other legitimate interests of the controller or if the applicant expressly insists on longer retention and retention of his application, e.g. has consented to possible later contact with vacancies. Other legitimate interest in this sense is e.g. a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The data processing for the purpose of contacting and processing your application data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 I S. 1 a, b GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily granted consent as well as for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Whether a single page of our website is encrypted is shown by the closed representation of the key or lock icon in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties.
