Insofar as an employment relationship between you and us is established, we may further process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with Section 26 (1) BDSG, if this is necessary for the implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfilment of the rights and obligations of the employee representation resulting from a law or a collective agreement, a works agreement or a service agreement (collective agreement).

If we wish to process your personal data for a purpose not mentioned above, we will inform you of this beforehand and of the legal basis given for this.

We store your personal data for as long as is necessary to decide about your application.
