Processing of (personal) data by the entity in charge of the online application process

Processing of Personal Data by the Entity Responsible for the Online Application Process

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis whenever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored for processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification via email is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after completing the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby expressly objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Access Logs ("Server Logs")
Each time this recruiting site is accessed, general log data (so-called server logs) is automatically recorded. This data is usually pseudonymous and does not allow conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. Without this data, it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the content of the software. Additionally, the processing of this data is necessary for security reasons, particularly for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, the anonymous information may be used for statistical purposes as well as to optimize the offering and technology. Moreover, log files may be reviewed and analyzed retrospectively if there is a suspicion of unlawful use of the software. The legal basis for this can be found in §25(2) No. 2 Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDDG) as well as Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and browser version, the operating system, the IP address, and the timestamp of the access to the software are recorded. The scope of this logging does not exceed the usual scope of any other website on the Internet. The storage period for these access logs is up to 7 days. There is no right to object.

Error Logs
For the purpose of identifying and fixing errors, so-called error logs are created. This is essential to promptly respond to possible issues with the display and implementation of content (legitimate interest). This data is usually pseudonymous and does not allow conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. The legal basis for this can be found in §25(2) No. 2 TTDDG as well as Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and browser version, the operating system, the IP address, and the timestamp of the occurrence of the respective error message/specification are recorded. The storage period for these error logs is up to 7 days. There is no right to object.

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.

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.

This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest).

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.
