Deletion of data and storage period
Unless otherwise stated, we delete your data as soon as it is no longer required, e.g. your e-mail address, after a client relationship ends and you no longer wish to be contacted. Your data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by law expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract. Certain data may have to be stored for longer for legal reasons. As described above, you can of course request information about the stored data at any time.
Visiting the website
If you merely wish to browse our website, we do not collect any personal data, with the exception of the data that your browser transmits to enable you to visit the website, first and foremost:
- IP address (e.g. 95.91.215.example or 2a02:8109:9440:1198:bdb1:551f:example)
- Approximate location based on the IP range (e.g. Berlin & surrounding area)
- Internet provider (e.g. Kabel Deutschland or Deutsche Telekom)
- Internet speed (e.g. 120 Mbit)
- Date and time (e.g. 11:45 on 25.05.2021)
- Last visited website (e.g. duckduckgo.de)
- Browser (e.g. Chrome or Safari)
- Operating system (e.g. Mac OS)
- Hardware (e.g. Intel processor)
To protect your privacy, we anonymize the IP address after your visit to our website. This means that the other technical data can no longer be traced back to you and is only used for anonymous, statistical purposes to optimize our website.
The purpose of the temporary storage of the data is, on the one hand, the technical necessity for establishing a connection and the correct display of our website. The IP address and the aforementioned technical data are required to display the website, prevent display problems for visitors and resolve error messages.
The legal basis is the legitimate interest, which has been examined in the context of the aforementioned protective measures and in accordance with the European data protection requirements under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Applications
If you apply to us online or otherwise respond to one of our job advertisements, we collect and process your personal application data.
The purpose is to process the application procedure. Processing is primarily carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if corresponding application documents are sent to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract, the application documents will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision – this retention period is based on a possible burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). If consent has been given, applications may be kept for longer than six months.
The legal basis is the establishment and implementation of the employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 BDSG. If the employment relationship does not materialize, the data will be deleted as stated above.
