The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint applies without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website

If, after concluding a contract subject to a charge, there is an obligation to transmit your payment details to us (e.g. an account number for a direct debit authorisation), this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions using the common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
With encrypted communication, the payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Deletion and Correction

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this and any other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of its deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to Advertising Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in fulfilment of the obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by means of spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

These web pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. a shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a cookie consent tool in order to inform you about the use of cookies and other technologies requiring consent on our website and to obtain, manage and document your consent to them.
When you enter our website, a connection is established to the server of the provider of the cookie consent tool in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. The tool is then stored in your browser so that your consent or its withdrawal can be assigned to it. The data collected in this way is stored until you request its deletion, until you delete the cookie yourself, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
The cookie consent tool is used in order to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Server Log Files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. This information is:

  • browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiry by Email, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of dealing with your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of the enquiries addressed to us.
The data you send to us via contact enquiries remains with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on This Website

You can register on this website in order to use additional functions on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will refuse the registration.
For important changes, for example to the scope of the offer or in the event of technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you in this way.
The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of carrying out the user relationship established by the registration and, where applicable, for the initiation of further contracts (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
The data collected during registration is stored by us for as long as you are registered on this website and is subsequently deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data concerning the use of this website (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user for it.
The customer data collected is deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Transfer upon Conclusion of a Contract for Online Shops, Retailers and Shipment of Goods

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the course of processing the contract, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or to the credit institution commissioned to process the payment. Any further transfer of the data does not take place, or only takes place if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.
The basis for the data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Participation in Prize Draws

We offer prize draws and competitions on this website. If you enter a prize draw, we process the data you provide in the entry form (first name, surname, email address and – where provided – your company), together with the date and time of submission and the browser identification transmitted. Your IP address is not stored. We use this information to register your entry, determine the winners, notify you in the event of a win and deliver the prize. We also record your confirmation of the terms and conditions of entry and, where given, your consent to receive our newsletter.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as the processing is necessary for conducting the prize draw and thus for the performance of the relationship established by your entry. Where we process data in order to detect and prevent multiple entries, automated submissions and other forms of manipulation, this is based on our legitimate interest in the proper conduct of the prize draw pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Providing your data is voluntary; however, without the details marked as mandatory fields in the form we cannot consider your entry.
If you win, we additionally collect the data required to hand over the prize, in particular the delivery address and, where applicable, the billing address, as well as a telephone number for delivery notification. We pass this data on to the shipping and logistics company we use. For deliveries to countries outside the European Union (Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Norway), we also transmit the details required for the customs declaration to the competent customs and tax authorities. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and, with regard to the customs-related details, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. If you redeem a prize as a voucher against a product or a service, the information in the section “Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)” additionally applies to the further processing.
We delete entrants’ data no later than three months after the end of the prize draw, unless you request deletion before then. We retain the winners’ data and the records of the draw and of the handover of prizes for as long as this is necessary to demonstrate the proper conduct of the prize draw and to comply with statutory retention and documentation obligations; retention periods under commercial and tax law of up to ten years remain unaffected.
Subscribing to our newsletter is voluntary and is not a condition of entering the prize draw. If you have given your consent, we will continue to process your email address on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR after the end of the prize draw in order to send you our newsletter. You may withdraw this consent at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link in every newsletter. The lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected. Further information can be found in the section “Newsletter”.
Entry data is stored on the servers of our hosting provider within the European Union; for details, please see the section “External Hosting”. To protect the entry form against automated submissions, we use Google reCAPTCHA; for details, please see the section “Google reCAPTCHA”. The specific conditions of each prize draw, in particular regarding eligibility, procedure and the draw itself, are set out in the terms and conditions of entry for that prize draw.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics 4

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics 4. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables us to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, we receive various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, the devices and operating systems used, the origin of the user and events triggered (e.g. the submission of a form). This data may be combined by Google into a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device.
Google Analytics 4 uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server and stored there; a transfer to the USA cannot be ruled out in this context. IP addresses are neither stored nor logged by Google Analytics 4; location is derived from a truncated IP address, which is subsequently discarded.
This service is used exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. As long as you have not given your consent, Google Analytics is not executed on this website.
Withdrawal of your consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by changing your selection in the cookie consent tool of this website (see the section “Cookie Consent Tool”) or by deleting the cookies that have been set in your browser. After a withdrawal, no further data is transmitted to Google Analytics. The lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Transfer to third countries
Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Insofar as data is transferred to the USA, the transfer is based on this certification and additionally on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46(2) GDPR.
Demographic characteristics and interests
If the corresponding functions are activated, Google Analytics can generate reports containing statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data originates from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data provided by third parties and cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account, or you can prevent the collection of your data entirely by withdrawing your consent as described above.
Storage period
The data stored by Google at user and event level is deleted in accordance with the retention period configured in the property settings; this period is a maximum of 14 months. Details can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en
Data processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies into our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. It merely serves to manage and deliver the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager does record your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.
Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and straightforward integration and management of various tools on its website. Insofar as corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, to the extent that the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data entered on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is entered by a human or by an automated program. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various items of information (e.g. IP address, how long the website visitor spends on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
The data is stored and analysed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings against abusive automated spying and against spam. Insofar as corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
For further information on Google reCAPTCHA, please see Google’s privacy policy and terms of service at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw the consent given for the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you have deposited with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or by the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or by the newsletter service provider in a blacklist in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

CleverReach

This website uses CleverReach for sending newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter “CleverReach”).
CleverReach is a service that can be used, among other things, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address) is stored on CleverReach’s servers in Germany or Ireland.
Our newsletters sent using CleverReach enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, this can include analysing how many recipients opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked.

For further information on data analysis by CleverReach newsletters, please see: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/features/reporting-and-tracking/.
The data is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
If you do not want any analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message for this purpose.
The data you have deposited with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and CleverReach’s servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

Brevo is a service that can be used, among other things, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. email address) is stored on Brevo’s servers in Germany.
Our newsletters sent using Brevo enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients.

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the disclosure of data to YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is thereby informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after you start a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent attempts at fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
Where applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.
YouTube is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Insofar as corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google Web Fonts

For the uniform display of fonts, this site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google’s servers takes place in this process.

Google Maps (with consent)

This website uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
In order to ensure data protection on this website, Google Maps is deactivated when you first enter this website. A direct connection to Google’s servers is only established once you activate Google Maps yourself (consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). In this way, it is prevented that your data is transferred to Google as soon as you first enter the site.
After activation, Google Maps will store your IP address. This is then generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Once Google Maps has been activated, the provider of this site has no influence over this data transfer.
For more information on how user data is handled, please see Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

ClickCease

This website uses functions of the traffic analysis service ClickCease, 18th Haarba’a Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.
ClickCease uses cookies and thereby collects, stores and processes information that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes: browser type/browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request and the IP address. ClickCease searches this data for suspicious behaviour and, where applicable, transmits suspicious data to Google in order to protect us against click fraud. In the course of this process, it is possible that the data collected is processed and stored outside the European Union.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its advertising offering and its advertising.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Further information and ClickCease’s privacy provisions can be found at https://www.clickcease.com/tos.html.

9. Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, by post or via an online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you in the course of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
Scope and purpose of the data collection
If you send us an application, we process the personal data associated with it (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary in order to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general initiation of a contract) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data is only passed on to persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Retention period of the data
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you decline a job offer or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) 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 retention serves in particular evidentiary purposes in the event of legal proceedings. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. because of imminent or pending legal proceedings), deletion will only take place once the purpose for the continued retention no longer applies.
Longer retention may also take place if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations preclude deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, there may be the option of including you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and details from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and bears no relation to the ongoing application procedure. The data subject can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided that there are no statutory grounds for retention.
The data in the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent was given.
