We do not receive information that could personally identify the user.
We use this service based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We use the anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize our website and advertising.

Application Procedure
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., via email, by mail, or through an online application form). Below, we outline the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure that the collection, processing, and use of your data comply with current data protection laws and all other statutory provisions. Your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes during job interviews, etc.) as far as it is necessary to decide on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation) and - if you have given consent - Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. This consent is revocable at any time. Within our company, your personal data is shared only with individuals involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Data Retention Period
If we cannot offer you a job, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted, and the physical application documents are destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period expires (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only occur when the purpose for further storage lapses.
Extended storage may also occur if you have given your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or if statutory retention requirements prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the Applicant Pool
If we do not make you a job offer, there may be an opportunity to include you in our applicant pool. In the case of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your explicit consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO). The submission of consent is voluntary and is unrelated to the ongoing application process. The affected person can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted unless there are legal retention reasons.
Data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
Social Networks
We are active on various social networks to provide information that might be of interest to you. Typically, these networks can analyze their user behavior extensively. Please note that we cannot fully understand all processing processes of the social networks.
If you contact our company's respective account on a social network, we process the personal data you provide to maintain contact with you on this network. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
