    Data processing

    For communication with our customers, we use online conference tools, among other things. The specific tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference via the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool.

    The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use to use the tools (e-mail address and/or your telephone number). In addition, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants and other “contextual information” related to the communication process (metadata).

    Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data necessary for the processing of the online
    communication are required. This includes, but is not limited to, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speakers, and the type of connection.

    If content is exchanged, uploaded or otherwise made available within the tool, this is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, photos and videos uploaded to voicemails, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the Service.

    Please note that we do not fully influence the data processing processes of the tools used. Our options are largely based on the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the data protection information of the respective tools used, which we have listed below this text.

    Purpose and legal basis

    The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to simplify and accelerate the overall process of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been requested, the use of the tools in question is based on this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

    Storage period

    The data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
    We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.

    8. Own Services

    Handling of applicant data

    We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or online Application form). In the following, we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected in the course of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated in the strictest confidence.

    Scope and purpose of data collection

    If you send us an application, we will 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 for the decision on the establishment of a employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

    If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

    Data retention period

    If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you provide on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

    The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The storage serves in particular for the purpose of providing evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an imminent or pending legal dispute), deletion only takes place when the purpose for further storage ceases to exist.

    Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 possibility of including you in our applicant pool. In the event of admission, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

    Admission to the applicant pool is exclusively based on your explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The submission of consent is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application process. The data subject can revoke his consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, unless there are legal retention reasons.

    The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.
