We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, by post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and other legal requirements, and your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

The legal basis for this is § 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general pre-contractual measures), and—if you have given consent—Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
