  1. Purposes of data processing by the controller and third parties

We only process your personal data for the purposes stated in this data protection declaration. Your personal data is not transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We only forward your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent for this,

  • the processing is required to fulfil a contract with you,

the processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in the non-disclosure of your data which is worthy of protection.

  1. Deletion or blocking of the data

We comply with the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various storage periods prescribed by law. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

If the application does not lead to the employment of the applicant, we delete the application documents no later than three months after the applicant has been notified of the rejection, provided that there are no other legitimate interests of our company that preclude the deletion.
