This includes, under Article 4 No. 1 GDPR, all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”) which is necessary for the conduct of the application process and the initiation of an employment relationship, Section 26 of the German Data Protection Act or applicable national law.
In addition, in the context of the use of applicant management, data related to the use, so-called usage data, are also collected. Usage data is such data that is necessary to operate our websites, such as information about the start, end and extent of use of our website, such as login data.

In the context of the application process and/or the use of the system, processing activities may also take place, which take place either on the basis of justified interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR or on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. Also eligible are processing activities which involve a legal obligation to process or a public interest, Article 6 (1) lit.c) and (e) GDPR, such as in the context of law enforcement or the investigation of public authorities. You can determine and control the scope of the processing yourself by means of individual settings in your web browser, the configuration of the corresponding cookie settings and their user behaviour.
