2 Purpose and legal basis

We process your data based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), HIPPA, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and all other laws relevant to us in terms of data protection.

We store information about our applicants that is necessary for the application process:

  • personal and contact details,
  • health data,
  • social security data,
  • application data,
  • contract data.

We usually receive this data directly from you. In some cases, we conduct internet searches or receive data from former employers.

The data is processed based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Without the provision of the required data, it is not possible to carry out the application process. In addition, we may also be legally obliged to process personal data. In this case, data processing is carried out based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR are processed (e.g., health data), the legal basis is Section 26(3) BDSG or Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

In principle, personal data of applicants is stored for the duration of the application process and deleted six months after the end of the application process. In exceptional cases, we also store the data for longer if the applicant has consented to this or if statutory retention periods make this necessary.

3 Recipients of personal data

We will only pass on your data to third parties if this should become necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose. Furthermore, data may be passed on to authorities based on legal provisions in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) and (e) GDPR.

In addition, in various cases we engage processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, who may receive data from us or have access to your data in connection with their service. In this context, personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United States. Where required by applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR, we ensure that such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2)(c) GDPR, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
