5.1 Data processing for the purpose of the application (Section 26 para. 1 BDSG)

Personal data of applicants may be processed for the purposes of the application procedure if this is necessary for the decision to establish an employment relationship with us.

The necessity and scope of the data collection are judged, among other things, by the position to be filled. If your desired position involves the performance of particularly confidential tasks, increased personnel and/or financial responsibility, or is linked to certain physical and health conditions, more extensive data collection may be necessary. In order to protect data protection, such data processing takes place only after the selection of applicants has been completed and immediately before you are hired.

5.2 Data processing on the basis of a consent given by you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, Section 26 para. 2 BDSG)

If you have given us your voluntary consent to the collection, processing or transfer of certain personal data, then this consent forms the legal basis for the processing of this data.

In the following cases we process your personal data on the basis of your consent:

• Admission to the applicant pool, this means we store the application documents beyond the current application procedure for consideration in later application procedures.
• Share the application with Group companies

5.3 On the basis of a legitimate interest of the controller (Art. 6 para.1 lit. f GDPR)

In certain cases we process your data to protect our legitimate interests or that of third parties:

• To defend legal claims in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). In the event of a dispute, we have a legitimate interest in processing the data for evidence purposes.
• Data comparison with EU anti-terrorist lists in accordance with Regulations (EC) No. 2580/2001 and 881/2002: As a company, EU law obliges us to play our part in the fight against terrorism. No funds may be made available to persons and organisations on the terrorist lists (provision prohibition). We are also obliged to carry out this comparison for the AEO certificate as an "authorised economic operator".
