If these tools are enabled, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like you to note that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are insecure in terms of data protection law.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to point out that the US, as a secure third-party country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the US is therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the \u201cEU-US Data Privacy Framework\u201d (DPF) or has appropriate additional assurances. Information on transfers to third-party countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipients of personal data<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties.

We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Revocation of your consent to the processing of your data<\/strong><br \/>\nA wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent.

Custom Services<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Handling applicant data<br \/>\n<\/strong>We offer website visitors the opportunity to submit job applications to us (e.g., via e-mail, via postal services on by submitting the online job application form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose and use of the personal data collected from you in conjunction with the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scope and purpose of the collection of data<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated personal data (e.g., contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship. The legal grounds for the aforementioned are \u00a7 26 BDSG according to German Law (Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (General Contract Negotiations) and \u2013 provided you have given us your consent \u2013 Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the processing of your job application.<\/p>\n<p>If your job application should result in your recruitment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of \u00a7 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship in our data processing system.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the application process, we may also conduct an internet search on you. This primarily includes Google searches, LinkedIn, and Xing. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest in obtaining an overall impression of publicly available information about you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f)<br \/>\nGDPR.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Data Archiving Period<\/strong><br \/>\nIf we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application).<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.<\/p>\n<p>Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Admission to the applicant pool<\/strong><br \/>\nIf we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our applicant pool. In case of admission, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.<\/p>\n<p>Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The submission agreement is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure. <strong>The affected person can revoke his agreement at any time.<\/strong> In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for storage.<\/p>\n<p>The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"  custom-content wpb_content_element\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><h2>1.
