Section 6 - Data protection for applications and in application processes
The entity responsible for processing collects and processes applicants’ personal data in order to complete the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This applies in particular when an applicant sends his/her application documents to the person responsible for processing electronically, such as by email or via the form on our website. Should the person responsible for processing sign an employment contract with the applicant, the data transferred is stored to complete the employment process, taking statutory provisions into consideration. Should no employment contract be signed between the entity responsible for processing and the applicant, application documents are automatically deleted six months after notification of rejection, provided deletion does not contradict the other legitimate interests of the entity responsible for processing. Other legitimate interests in this respect include the burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz - AGG) for example. Applicants have the right to withdraw consent to processing at any time. Art. 88 GDPR, Section 26 German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) applies.
