Personal Data in the Application Process
Personal data means any information relating to the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number, and date of birth, as well as data about your specific career history, which can be attributed to a specific person with reasonable effort. Information that cannot be linked directly or indirectly to your actual identity does not constitute personal data.
Legal Basis and Purposes for the Processing of Personal Data in Applications and the Application Procedure
If you apply to us electronically, i.e. by email or via our web form, we collect and process your personal data for the purpose of handling the application procedure and carrying out pre-contractual measures.
By submitting an application on our recruiting page, you express your interest in taking up employment with us. In this context, you provide us with personal data, which we use and store exclusively for the purpose of your job search/application.
In particular, the following data are collected:
  • Name (first and last name)
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • LinkedIn profile (optional)
  • Channel through which you became aware of us
You also have the option to upload meaningful documents such as a cover letter, your CV, and certificates. These documents may contain additional personal data such as date of birth, address, etc.
Only authorized employees from the HR department or employees involved in the application process have access to your data.
The storage of personal data is generally carried out exclusively for the purpose of filling the vacant position for which you have applied.
Your data will be stored for a period of 90 days beyond the end of the application process. This is usually done to fulfill legal obligations or to defend against potential claims under statutory provisions. After this period, we are obliged to delete or anonymize your data. In this case, the data will only be available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (e.g. proportion of female/male applicants, number of applications per period, etc.).
In addition, we reserve the right to store your data for inclusion in our “talent pool” for 90 days after the end of the application process in order to identify any further suitable positions for you. This also applies, for example, to applications for apprenticeships or internships. By accepting the privacy policy, you consent to the possible extended storage of your data and inclusion in our “talent pool”.
If you receive an offer of employment from us as part of the application process and accept it, we will store the personal data collected during the application process at least for the duration of the employment relationship.
Disclosure of Data to Third Parties
The data transmitted as part of your application are transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database is operated by Personio GmbH, which provides HR management and applicant tracking software (https://www.personio.de/impressum/). In this context, Personio acts as our processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The legal basis for this processing is a data processing agreement between us as the controller and Personio.
Rights of Data Subjects
If personal data are processed by us as the controller, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and purpose of the processing. These include, in particular, the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), and the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR).
If the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR.
To exercise your data subject rights with regard to the data processed in this online application process, please contact our Data Protection Officer (see section 2).
Final Provisions
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time to ensure that it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to the application process or similar circumstances. The new privacy policy will then apply to any renewed visit to this recruiting page or any new application.
In addition to this privacy policy, you can view our general privacy policy at [general privacy policy].

Processing of (personal) data by the operator of the recruitment website

General information

This recruitment website is operated by Personio SE & Co. KG, which offers a human resource and candidate management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. The sole controller of this data within the meaning of article 24 of the GDPR is the enterprise carrying out this online application process. Personio’s role is limited to operating the software and this recruitment website and, in this context, being a processor under article 28 of the GDPR. In this case, the processing by Personio is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between the controller and Personio. In addition, Personio SE & Co. KG processes further data, some of which may be personal data, to provide its services, in particular for operating this recruitment website. We will refer to this in more detail below.

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. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. 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.

Use of cookies

So-called cookies are used on parts of this recruitment website. They are small text files which are stored on the device with which you access this recruitment website. As a general rule, cookies serve the purpose of ensuring secure access to a website (“absolutely necessary”), implementing certain functionalities such as standard-language settings (“functional”), improving the user experience or the performance of the website (“performance”), or placing targeted advertisements (“marketing”). On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR). Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.

Rights of data subjects

If Personio SE & Co. KG as the controller processes personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object (article 21 of the GDPR).
