The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies.

Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

2.3.2 Applications
Information on current job and training opportunities is available on our website. If you send us your application, we will process your data as described below:
2.3.2.1 Scope of processing
In the application process, we process personal data from the application documents you send us, such as contact data, information about your education, qualifications, work experience and skills, as well as information provided by telephone or verbally, if applicable. In addition, we may have received data from third parties (e.g. job placement agencies). We share your personal data within our company exclusively with the departments and persons involved in the decision to establish an employment relationship. Insofar as administrators necessarily have access to the processed data, they are bound to secrecy and may not process the data for other purposes.
If there is the possibility of including you in our applicant pool and you expressly agree to this, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool.
Your data will only be disclosed to third parties if and insofar as this is necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations or to protect our legitimate interests (e.g. in a legal dispute) or if we have your consent. Your consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process.
2.3.2.2 Legal basis of processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in the current application process or in the event of the establishment of an employment relationship is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG (New) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The storage of personal data after the end of the application process without the establishment of an employment relationship is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If processing is based on your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.
2.3.2.3 Purpose of the processing
We process your data for the purpose of deciding whether to establish an employment relationship with you. If your application is successful, we may further process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship. If we are unable to offer you employment, you decline a job offer or withdraw your application, we may retain your data to protect our legitimate interest in retaining evidence for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and further process it in the event of litigation.
2.3.2.4 Storage duration
We store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the decision on your application. If no employment relationship is established, we delete your personal data 6 months after the end of the application process. Longer storage without your expressed consent will only take place if it is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense against legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute. If you have consented to longer storage, the duration will depend on the content of your consent. If an employment relationship, training relationship or internship relationship is established following the application process, your data will be transferred to the personnel file and deleted in accordance with the regulations applicable to personnel files. Data from the applicant pool will be deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
2.3.2.5 Possibility of objection and elimination
Consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until the revocation. You can reach us for this purpose under the contact details provided.
