The legal basis for this is Section 26 (1) of the BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 of the GDPR.
If you consent to the storage of your application in a candidate pool, the purpose of processing the data is to contact you to suggest comparable positions. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR. Consent is voluntary and can be revoked at any time via the human resources department.
In the case of an application process with the aim of concluding a service or work contract with you as a freelance employee, we process your data as mentioned above for the purpose of carrying out pre-contractual measures. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1) (b) of the GDPR.
We may conduct interviews via a video conferencing system. These interviews are not recorded. The legal basis for video interviews is Article 6(1) (f) of the GDPR. Interests were weighed up and the conclusion was reached that the interests of the applicants concerned, partly due to the technical and organizational measures taken, do not outweigh the interests of the data controller and that the applicant concerned also has an interest in conducting an initial video interview in order to avoid travel.
Categories of data recipients
To the extent permitted by law, we share personal data externally with:
Lawyers in case of (labor-related) legal advice
