If we are unable to offer you a position, if you decline a job offer, or if you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) for up to 6 months from the conclusion of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Thereafter, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents will be destroyed. This retention serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued retention no longer applies.
Data may also be retained for a longer period if you have provided your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention requirements prevent deletion.
Inclusion in the Candidate Pool
If we do not offer you a position, there may be the option to add you to our applicant pool. If you are added, all documents and information from your application will be transferred to the applicant pool so that we can contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Providing consent is voluntary and is unrelated to the ongoing application process. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the candidate pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.
Data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is granted.
