Information on data processing for applicants
In order to carry out the selection process after receiving your application and, if applicable, to establish an employment relationship based on it, we need to process some of your personal data. Below, we provide information about which of your personal data we process, how we process it and for what purpose. This information is provided in order to fulfil our obligations under data protection law.
1. Responsible party

City: 30855 Langehagen

3. Personal data in the context of the application processPersonal data is information about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number and date of birth, but also data about your specific career history, etc., which can be assigned to a specific person with reasonable effort. Information that is not directly or indirectly related to your real identity is not considered personal data.
4. Basis and purposes for processing personal data in applications and during the application process
If you apply to us electronically, i.e. by email or via our web form, we will collect and process your personal data for the purpose of handling the application process and implementing pre-contractual measures.
By submitting an application on our recruitment page, you are expressing your interest in working for us. In this context, you provide us with personal data, which we use and store exclusively for the purpose of your job search/application.
In particular, the following data is collected:
Name (first name and surname)
Email address
Telephone number
Place of residence
Salary expectations
Recruitment channel
You also have the option of uploading relevant documents such as a cover letter, your CV and references. These may contain additional personal data such as your date of birth, address, etc.
Only authorised employees from the HR department or employees involved in the application process have access to your data.
5. Storage periodPersonal data is stored exclusively for the purpose of filling the vacant position for which you have applied.
Your data will be stored for a period of 60 days after the end of the application process. This is usually done to fulfil legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. We are then obliged to delete or anonymise your data. In this case, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (e.g. proportion of female or male applicants, number of applications per period, etc.).
In addition, we reserve the right to store your data in our ‘talent pool’ for 6 months after the end of the application process in order to identify any other positions that may be of interest to you. This also applies, for example, to applications for training or internship positions. By accepting the privacy policy, you consent to the possible further storage of your data and its inclusion in our ‘talent pool’.
If you receive an offer of employment from us during the application process and accept it, we will store the personal data collected during the application process for at least the duration of the employment relationship.
6. Transfer of data to third partiesThe data submitted as part of your application is transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database is operated by Personio GmbH, which offers personnel management and applicant management software (
https://www.personio.de/impressum/). In this context, Personio is our processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The basis for processing is a contract for order processing between us as the responsible body and Personio.
If we, as the responsible body, process personal data, you, as the data subject, have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and purpose of the processing, in particular the right to information (Article 15 GDPR), the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), and the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR). If the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent under Art. 7 III GDPR.
To assert your rights as a data subject in relation to the data processed in this online application process, please contact our data protection officer (see section 2).
8. Final provisionsWe reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time to ensure that it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to the application process or similar. The new privacy policy will then apply when you visit this recruitment page again or submit a new application.

Access logs (“server logs”)
Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual.
Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG.
Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web.
These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.
Error logs
So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG.
When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected.
These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.
Use of cookies
So-called cookies are used on parts of this recruitment website. They are small text files which are stored on the device with which you access this recruitment website. As a general rule, cookies serve the purpose of ensuring secure access to a website (“absolutely necessary”), implementing certain functionalities such as standard-language settings (“functional”), improving the user experience or the performance of the website (“performance”), or placing targeted advertisements (“marketing”).
On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR).
Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session
Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.
Rights of data subjects
If Personio SE & Co. KG as the controller processes personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object (article 21 of the GDPR).
