An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

To the extent that we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In cases where the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override the aforementioned interest, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data Erasure and Retention Period

The data subject’s personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Data may also be retained if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a retention period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

(3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, such decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data as defined in Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at a minimum the right to request human intervention by the controller, to present your point of view, and to contest the decision.

Processing of Personal Data by TikTok

Beijing Bytedance Technology Ltd. is the Chinese parent company of TikTok Technology Limited, so a transfer of your personal data to a third country (China) cannot be ruled out.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) stipulates that the transfer of personal data—whether already being processed or to be processed after its transfer to a third country or an international organization—is permissible only if a level of data protection comparable to the requirements of the GDPR is guaranteed.

As the operator of this website, we cannot rule out the transfer and further processing of users’ personal data to third countries, such as China, nor the potential risks this may pose to users. China does not have a level of data protection comparable to that required by the GDPR. It is unlikely that you will be able to effectively enforce your rights there . It is also possible that government agencies may access the personal data provided without our or your knowledge.

TikTok processes your personal data for various purposes and collects information about its users in the process. When you are logged into your TikTok account, you allow TikTok to link your browsing behavior and other data directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your account.

If you have any questions regarding your rights with respect to TikTok, please contact TikTok directly. You can find your general rights under the GDPR in Section IV of this Privacy Policy.

For more information on how user data is handled, please see TikTok’s Privacy Policy at: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/eea/privacy-policy/de-DE

What personal data do we collect, and where do we obtain it?

– Your basic personal information (such as first name, last name, additional names, date of birth)
– Work permit or residence permit, if applicable
– Contact information (such as home address, (cell) phone number, email address),
– Skills (e.g., special knowledge and abilities)
– If relevant to the advertised position: medical fitness

Your personal data is generally collected directly from you as part of the hiring process, specifically from your application materials, the job interview, and the employee questionnaire.

In addition, we may process personal data from publicly available sources (e.g., websites, professional networks), which we use lawfully and only for the specific purpose in question.

We also receive data from third parties (e.g., employment agencies, recruiters).

Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

The personal data you provide will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu):

Based on the establishment of the employment relationship:

Data processing primarily serves to establish the employment relationship. The primary legal basis for this is Art. 88(1) GDPR in conjunction with § 26(1) BDSG-neu.

Based on consent (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR)

The purposes of processing personal data arise from the granting of consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Consent granted prior to the effective date of the GDPR (May 25, 2018) may also be revoked. Processing that took place prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

If you would like to be added to our applicant pool in the event of a rejection, we require a declaration of consent from you for this purpose.

Who receives the personal data you provide?

Within our corporate group, the departments involved in the decision regarding your hiring will have access to the personal data you have provided.

As part of our service provision, we engage data processors who assist in fulfilling our contractual obligations, such as data center service providers, IT partners, document shredding services, etc. We contractually require these data processors to comply with professional confidentiality obligations as well as with the provisions of the GDPR and the BDSG-neu.

Is the data you provide transferred to third countries or international organizations?

Under no circumstances will the data you provide be transferred to a third country or an international organization. Should you, in a specific case, wish for the data you have provided to be transferred to a third country or an international organization, we will only do so with your written consent.

Is automated decision-making, including profiling, used?

No fully automated decision-making (including profiling) pursuant to Article 22 of the GDPR is used in the processing of the data you provide.

Duration of Processing (Criteria for Erasure)

If you are hired, we will transfer your application documents to your personnel file. After the employment relationship ends, we will continue to store those personal data that we are legally required to retain. This is generally due to legal obligations regarding evidence and record retention, which are governed, among other things, by the German Commercial Code and the German Fiscal Code. Accordingly, the retention periods are up to ten years. In addition, personal data may be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted against us (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).

In the event of a rejection, your application documents will be deleted no later than six months after the conclusion of the application process, unless you have given us your consent to retain them for a longer period (applicant pool).
