5.1 Date protection information for applicants

How do we process your application information?
We process the data provided by you in the context of your application to determine your suitability for the position (or, if applicable, for other positions within the company) and to pro-cess the application procedure.

What is the legal basis for this process?
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily Section 26 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) in the version applicable as of 25.05.2018. Ac-cordingly, it is admissible to process data which is required in the context of the decision regar-ding the establishment of an employment relationship.

If the data is required for legal prosecution after the completion of the application process, data processing may take place on the basis of the requirements of Section 6 DSGVO, particularly to safeguard legitimate interests in accordance with Section 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our interest subse-quently consists of the assertion or defence of claims.

How long will the data be stored?
Data of applicants is generally erased after 6 months in the event of a declination.

If you have agreed to the further storage of your personal data, the data will be transferred to our pool of applicants. Here, the data is erased after the expiration of two years.

If you have been granted the approval for a position in the context of the application process, the data is transferred from the application file to our personnel information system.

To which recipient will the data be transmitted?
We use a specialised software provider for the application process. This service provider acts for us and may, under certain circumstances, obtain knowledge of your personal data in the context of systems care and maintenance. We have concluded a so-called order processing agreement with this supplier, which ensures that the data is processed in the admissible manner.

Upon receipt of your application, your application data will be reviewed by the HR department. Suitable applications are then transmitted internally to the department manager of the respec-tive vacant position. Subsequently, further procedures will be coordinated. As a matter of prin-ciple, only those persons in the company have access to your data who require this for the pro-per processing of our application procedure.

Where is the data processed?
The data is processed exclusively in data processing centres of the Federal Republic of Germany.

5.2 Data processing of new customers

Purposes and legal bases upon which we process your data
We process personal data in accordance with the regulations of the General EU Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as well as other applicable Data Pro-tection Regulations. The respectively agreed service determines which data is individually pro-cessed and the manner in which it is used.

Purposes for the fulfilment of an agreement or preliminary contractual measures (Section 6 (1) lit. b GDPR)
Personal data is processed for the execution of our agreements with you and the execution of your orders as well as for the execution of measure and activities in the context of preliminary contractual relationships.

Beyond the actual fulfilment of the agreement and/or preliminary contractual measures, we process your data in order to preserve legitimate interests of us or of third parties, if necessary, particularly for purposes:

• of obtaining information as well as the exchange of data with credit agencies, if this is covered by our legitimate interest;
• of enhancing our data, among other by the usage or the research of publicly accessible data;
• of the limited storage of the data if erasure is not possible due to the special type of storage or if it is only possible by way of disproportionately high effort

Purpose for the fulfilment of statutory provisions (Section 6 (1) lit. c GDPR) or in the public in-terest (Section 6 (1) lit. e GDPR)
We are subject to a number of statutory provisions (e.g. trade and tax law), but also regulatory and other official requirements.

In addition, the disclosure of personal data may become necessary in the context of official/court-related measures for the purpose of the collection of evidence, criminal prosecution or the enforcement of civil law claims.

Data categories processed by us and their origin, unless we have received the data directly from you
In as far as necessary for the provision of services, we process personal data legally received from other companies or other third parties (e.g. credit agencies). We also process personal data which we legally extracted received or purchased from publicly accessible sources (such as tele-phone registers, trade and association registers etc.) and which we are permitted to process.

Recipients or categories of recipients of your data
Within our company, those internal offices and/or organisational units receive your data who require them for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations or in the context of pro-cessing and implementing our legitimate interest. The transfer of your data to external entities occurs exclusively

For this pur-pose, we work with Creditsafe, who provides us with the necessary data. In this case, we trans-mit your personal data from this contractual relationship and the information necessary for ob-taining the credit rating to Creditsafe.
