The required information includes general personal information (name, address, telephone or electronic contact) as well as performance-specific evidence of the qualifications required for a position.

After receipt of the application sent using the e-mail contact address provided, the applicant data will be stored by us and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. In the event of queries arising in the course of processing the application, we will use either the e-mail address provided by the applicant with his/her application or a telephone number provided, at our discretion.
The legal basis for such processing, including the establishment of contact for queries, is in principle Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO i.V.m. § 26 para. 1 BDSG, in the sense of which the completion of the application procedure is regarded as the initiation of an employment contract.
If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 DSGVO (e.g. health data such as information on severely disabled status) are requested from applicants as part of the application procedure, processing will take place in accordance with Art. 26 Para. 1 BDSG.

This period shall be determined on the basis of our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and, if necessary, to comply with our obligation to provide evidence under the regulations on the equal treatment of applicants.
In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. § 26 para. 1 BDSG for the purposes of carrying out the employment relationship.
