Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. A simple informal email notification is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible entity, this will only be done if technically feasible.
SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or inquiries you send to us—the site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.
Right to Access, Block, and Delete Data
Within the framework of applicable legal regulations, you have the right to request free information at any time about:

If an employment contract is concluded, the transmitted data will be stored in compliance with legal regulations for the purpose of processing the employment relationship.
If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is communicated, unless there are legitimate interests preventing deletion. A legitimate interest in this sense could include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in a case under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
