This applies in particular if an applicant provides us with corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail. If an employment contract is concluded, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If an employment contract is not concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted three months after notification of the rejection decision unless there are any other legitimate interests on our part which prevent deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (AGG)).

This also applies to processes directly connected therewith, e.g. the processing of inquiries about our products, services or prices. If we process your personal data on the basis of statutory obligations, this is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Regardless of the afore-mentioned legal bases, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest on our part or that of a third party, provided that your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail.
