Nevertheless, we expressly request that you do not disclose any data to us that is likely to have little or no relevance in the context of normal recruitment processes or that would not even be taken into account from a legal perspective. This applies in particular to special categories of personal (“sensitive”) data.

We will never ask you for this “sensitive” data (this includes data about racial and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health or sex life, i.e. also e.g. religious denomination, family status).

If we receive an application from you via our application form, our web host logs and stores the date/time of registration and the IP address from which the registration was received.

If you contact us merely to obtain information from us, your data will therefore either be deleted immediately or deleted after a reasonable period of time corresponding to the content of the communication, depending on the content of the communication.

If you withdraw your declaration of consent, we will delete (or have deleted) all your data – including cumulative data – from all databases.

Order or purchase order

If you contact us to conclude a contract, the data will be deleted at the end of the 7th year after the last receipt has been posted (§ 132 BAO). If a contract is concluded, all data from the contractual relationship will therefore be stored until the end of this period.

Statutory/legal retention obligations or contractual obligations, e.g. towards customers arising from warranty or compensation or towards contractual partners, are a further basis for continuing to store your data. (Art 6 para 1 lit c GDPR; Art 17 para 3 lit e GDPR).

b. Rejection of the application

The retention period for discrimination in job applications is 6 months after the end of the application procedure (§§ 15 para. 1 and 29 GlBG).

Your data will therefore be deleted at the end of this period, unless you have given your consent for your data to be processed for a longer period, in which case this period will apply.

Please also note that the processing of this data is also permitted if other legal standards permit or require this data processing.

c. Applicant receives job

If you are offered a position as an applicant, all of your data – including accumulated data – will be deleted after this period has expired, unless another legal reason (see below) justifies a longer storage period.

If you have consented to your data being included in the applicant database of our processor Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co KG and processed by it, us and the other recipients mentioned above, this is for the purpose of informing you as soon as we become aware of a position that may be of interest to you, or in order to be able to find and contact you again during recruitment procedures, if you are considered a potential candidate on the basis of the data you have provided, may be kept on record beyond the statutory period and may be processed by us until you withdraw your consent, your data will be stored or processed for a maximum of 3 years.
