This means that there is no possibility for you to object to such data processing.
This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files our servers transmit to your Internet browser when you access our website. Your browser stores them on your computer. There are two kinds of cookies: Session cookies and persistent cookies. This website exclusively uses session cookies, which allow our Web server to identify your browser not only during your session but also across several webpages.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly, more efficient and safer.
Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of the session, i.e. when you close your browser.
The legal basis for processing personally identifiable data through the use of cookies is GDPR, Art. 6(1)(1)(f). As indicated, our legitimate interest in such processing is to make our website simpler and more user-friendly.
Right to object
Since cookies are stored on your computer, you may prevent them from being installed at any time and delete any existing
cookies by adjusting the relevant settings in your Internet browser.
Please be advised that this may limit the functionality of this website to some extent.
By using buttons provided on our website, you may access our profiles on the social media networks Xing and LinkedIn. To protect your privacy, these social media websites are not directly integrated into our website, i.e., the operators of these websites do not automatically receive server data when you visit our website; you will only be connected to the respective website by clicking the button for the relevant social media network. Please read the data privacy information provided by the operators of those websites.
We use a third-party service provider to operate our website and the associated processes. Therefore the third-party service provider, who is strictly bound to our instructions by a data-processing service agreement, is likewise a data recipient.
III. Protection of your data when you contact us
We will use the data you transmit to us when contacting us (be it by e-mail, telephone or post) exclusively for the purpose for which you have submitted them.
In the event that you submit to us your job application documents in addition to an enquiry, please note the provisions under item III. below.
In this case your data will be processed to review and respond to your enquiry.
We will delete your data which we have received in this context upon completing the processing of your enquiry unless we are prohibited from deleting the data by statutory information retention requirements.
In this case, the processing of your data will be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to GDPR, Art. 6(1)(1)(f) for the purposes stated above. If the purpose of your enquiry is to enter into a contract, GDPR article 6(1)(1)(b) provides an additional legal basis.

You may object to future storage of your personally identifiable data transmitted along with your enquiry at any time. In this case,
we will be unable to further process your enquiry, unless we are required by law to continue storing your data.
IV. Data privacy of candidate/applicant information
Provided that we have become aware of you through active searches in networks, and you transmit to us personally identifiable data by submitting your application documents, please note the provisions below in addition to the above stipulations.
Scope of data-processingWe will initially record the information contained in your application documents submitted by you, regularly including the following:
- Master data (name, address, contact information)
- Qualification and skills (school reports, language skills)
- Career information (background, desired salary)
- Other information (photos)
In addition, we may record additional personally identifiable data from application interviews.
If we have identified you through social networks such as Xing or LinkedIn, we will capture publicly accessible information from your profile as well as content from our communication with you, if applicable.
In addition to capturing such data within the scope described above, we will also store this information in our database.
We will process your data so we can refer you successfully to employers stored in our database.
Upon completion of the application process, or six months after the receipt of your application, whichever occurs first, your applicant information will be deleted. Provided that you have given your consent to our storing your personally identifiable data beyond that time for purposes such as referring other vacancies to you, your personally identifiable data will be deleted after two years at the latest. Stored personally identifiable data we have captured from the social networks Xing or LinkedIn will be deleted following the end of our communication unless you are interested in job referrals and an actual application process has been initiated.
The legal basis for processing the application data submitted by you is GDPR, Art. 6(1)(1)(b). Processing your data is necessary to make pre-contractual arrangements between you and any potential employers. GDPR, Art. 6(1)(1)(f) provides an additional legal basis. Our legitimate interest arises from the above-described purpose of referring you to potential employers which, because of the application initiated by you, is not contrary to your interests.
In the event that we collect your information through active searching, for example, in social networks, the legal basis for processing your data is GDPR, Art. 6(1)(1)(f). In this context we have a legitimate business interest in recruiting personnel for our clients.
The recipients of candidate or applicant data are internal departments charged with processing your documents. In addition, we may transmit your data to selected employers (third parties), for whose employment offers you have applied, provided that you have been shortlisted as a candidate.
