This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To ensure data protection on this website, Google Maps is deactivated when you enter this website for the first time.

After activation, Google Maps will save your IP address. This is then usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence on the data transfer once Google Maps has been activated.

We give you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email, post or via the online application form).

We ensure that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we shall process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the context of job interviews, etc.), insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be shared within our company and with people who are involved in processing your application.

Retention period of the data
If we cannot make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data transmitted by you based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR) for up to 6 months as of the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted and the physical application documents are destroyed. In particular, the storage is for verification purposes in the event of a legal dispute. If it can be seen that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place if the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer retention can also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit a GDPR). if statutory retention requirements prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the option of being included in our applicant pool. In the event of admission, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Admission to the applicant pool is based solely on your express consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The giving of consent is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application process. The person concerned can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, unless there are legal reasons for storing it.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted at the latest two years after consent has been given.
