You have the right to object at any time to the use of your data for the purpose of direct advertising. Moreover, you are entitled to apply for information on the data about you stored by us and, in the event of incorrectness of the data, to demand correction or, in the case of inadmissible data storage, the de-letion of the data. You are, moreover, entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (see the point Right of appeal).

Your data are used exclusively by persons from the HR department and/or the management authorised to do so for processing within the scope of the selection process. No passing-on of your personal data to third parties takes place.

Should the specific job that you are applying for have already been allocated elsewhere, but, because of your profile, you can also be considered for later employment or employment in a partner company or subsidiary, we will, before further storage or passing-on of the application, obtain your express con-sent, unless you have already consented to such storage and/or passing-on in your application.

If you send us an unsolicited application and, for this purpose, you use our general contact e-mail ad-dress, the contents of your application mail can be viewed by personnel not authorised to do so. There is a requirement to the effect that the application documents are to be immediately passed on uno-pened to the HR department and that the incoming mail is deleted. If you want to rule out this possibil-ity, we ask you to contact us by telephone before you send off an unsolicited application so that you can be informed of the contact data of the correct contact person.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 letter. b) GDPR, for the processing of pre-contractual measures.

The data will, if you do not inform us to the contrary, be deleted 6 months after the conclusion of the application process and/or destroyed in the case of postal applications. Because of the long application and selection periods in the case of trainees we store their data in Germany for up to 18 months.

If the respective statutory conditions are met, you have the following rights: right to information about your data stored by us; correction, deletion, restriction of the processing of your data or objection to processing as well as the right to data portability.
