Personal Data in the Application Process

Personal data refers to information about the personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable individual. This includes information such as your name, address, phone number, and date of birth, as well as data about your career path, which can be assigned to a particular person with reasonable effort. Information that cannot be directly or indirectly linked to your actual identity is not considered personal data.


Basis and Purpose for Processing Personal Data in Applications

If you apply electronically, via email or our web form, we collect and process your personal data for the purpose of managing the application process and for taking pre-contractual measures. By submitting an application on our recruiting page, you express your interest in working with us. In this context, you provide us with personal data that we use and store exclusively for your job search/application. In particular, the following data is collected: name (first and last name), email address, phone number, LinkedIn profile (optional), and how you became aware of us. You also have the option to upload relevant documents such as a cover letter, resume, and certificates, which may contain additional personal data like date of birth, address, etc. Only authorized personnel or those involved in the application process have access to your data. The storage of personal data is primarily for filling the vacant position you applied for. Your data will be stored for 180 days beyond the end of the application process. This is usually done to meet legal obligations or to defend against any claims. Afterwards, we are obligated to delete or anonymize your data. In this case, we only have access to the data as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (e.g., proportion of female to male applicants, number of applications over a certain period, etc.). Furthermore, we reserve the right to store your data in our "Talent Pool" for 365 days after the application process to identify other potentially interesting positions for you. If you receive and accept an offer of employment from us, we store the personal data collected during the application process for at least the duration of the employment relationship.


Transfer of Data to Third Parties

The data provided in your application is transmitted using TLS encryption and stored in a database operated by Personio GmbH, which offers HR management and applicant management software (https://www.personio.de/impressum/). In this context, Personio is our processor according to Art. 28 DS-GVO. The basis for processing is a contract for order processing between us, as the responsible party, and Personio.


Rights of the Data Subject

If we process personal data as the responsible party, you, as the data subject, have certain rights according to Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO), in particular, the right to information (Art.15 DS-GVO), correction (Art.16 DS-GVO), deletion (Art. 17 DS-GVO), restriction of processing (Art. 18 DS-GVO), data portability (Art. 20 DS-GVO), and objection (Art. 21 DS-GVO). If the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke this data protection consent according to Art. 7 III DS-GVO. Please contact our Data Protection Officer (see section 2) to assert your rights regarding the data processed in this online application process.


Final Provisions

We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy at any time to ensure it always meets current legal requirements or to reflect changes in the application process. For subsequent visits to this recruiting page or a new application, the new privacy policy applies. In addition to this privacy policy, you can also view our general privacy policy.

Access Logs ("Server Logs")

Every time this recruiting page is accessed, general log data, so-called server logs, are automatically recorded. These data are usually pseudonyms and therefore do not allow conclusions about an individual. Without this data, it would sometimes be technically impossible to deliver and display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is essential for security reasons, especially for access, input, and transfer and storage control. Moreover, the anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes as well as for optimizing the offer and the technology. Also, the log files can be checked and evaluated retrospectively in case of suspicion of illegal use of the software. The legal basis for this is § 15 Abs. 1 Telemediengesetz (TMG) and Art. 6 (1) f DS-GVO. General data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system, the IP address, and the timestamp of accessing the software are recorded. The scope of this logging does not go beyond the usual scope of any other website on the Internet. The storage duration of these access logs is up to 7 days. There is no right to object.


Error Logs ("Error Logs")

For the purpose of error identification and correction, so-called error logs ("Error-Logs") are created. This is essential to be able to respond to possible problems with the presentation and implementation of content as quickly as possible (legitimate interest). These data are usually pseudonyms and therefore do not allow conclusions about an individual. The legal basis for this is § 15 Abs. 1 TMG and Art. 6 (1) f DS-GVO. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system, the IP address, and the timestamp when the corresponding error message/specification occurred are recorded. The storage duration of these error logs is up to 7 days. There is no right to object.

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual.

In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.
