 Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25 / Gebäude 12/2 | 4 OG
 Berlin 13355


Tel: +49 30 346 55 22 – 0

Personal Data within the Application Process

Personal data refers to information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number, and date of birth, as well as data about your specific career path, etc., which can be attributed to a specific person with reasonable effort. Information that cannot be directly or indirectly associated with your real identity is not considered personal data.

Legal Basis and Purposes for Processing Personal Data in Applications and the Application Process

If you apply to us electronically, i.e., by email or through our web form, we collect and process your personal data for the purpose of processing the application process and conducting pre-contractual measures. By submitting an application on our recruiting site, you express your interest in seeking employment with us. In this context, you provide us with personal data that we use and store exclusively for the purpose of your job search/application. Specifically, the following data is collected:

  • Name (first and last name)
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • LinkedIn profile (optional)
  • How you became aware of us

You also have the opportunity to upload meaningful documents such as a cover letter, your resume, and certificates. These may contain additional personal data such as date of birth, address, etc.

Only authorized employees in the HR department and employees involved in the application process have access to your data. The storage of personal data is generally done exclusively for the purpose of filling the vacant position for which you have applied. Your data will be stored for a period of 90 days beyond the end of the application process. This is usually done to fulfill legal obligations or to defend against any claims under legal regulations. Afterwards, we are obliged to delete or anonymize your data. In this case, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (e.g., gender ratio in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).

Furthermore, we reserve the right to store your data for inclusion in our "Talent Pool" for 180 days after the end of the application process in order to identify any other interesting positions for you. This also applies, for example, to applications for training or internships. By accepting the privacy policy, you consent to the possible further storage of your data and inclusion in our "Talent Pool".

If you receive an offer of employment from us as part of the application process and accept it, we will store the personal data collected during the application process for at least the duration of the employment relationship.

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

The data transmitted within your application is transferred via TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database is operated by Personio GmbH, which provides personnel administration and applicant management software (https://www.personio.de/impressum/). In this context, Personio acts as our data processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. The processing is based on a contract for order processing between us as the responsible party and Personio.

Rights of the Data Subject

If we, as the data controller, process personal data concerning you, as the data subject, 

you have certain rights as provided in Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and purpose of the processing. These rights may include the right to access (Article 15 GDPR), the right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR), the right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR), the right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR), and the right to object (Article 21 GDPR).

The sole controller of this data within the meaning of article 24 of the GDPR is the enterprise carrying out this online application process. Personio’s role is limited to operating the software and this recruitment website and, in this context, being a processor under article 28 of the GDPR. In this case, the processing by Personio is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between the controller and Personio. In addition, Personio SE & Co.

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

As a general rule, cookies serve the purpose of ensuring secure access to a website (“absolutely necessary”), implementing certain functionalities such as standard-language settings (“functional”), improving the user experience or the performance of the website (“performance”), or placing targeted advertisements (“marketing”). On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR). Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.

KG as the controller processes personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object (article 21 of the GDPR).
