III. General information about data processing
1) Scope of the processing of personal data
We collect and utilize our users' personal data only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of an operational site and of our content and services. Collection and utilization of our users' personal data is regularly only done with the user's consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for legal or factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2) Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis.
In processing personal data necessary for performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR serves as legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, art. 6 para. 1 (d) GDPR serves as legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
3) Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of a data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist.
In the event that you send us unsolicited application data via our website or otherwise electronically, we will delete the data immediately if we do not initiate an application process. In the event that we initiate an application process or you send us application data at our request, we will delete your data at the latest 4 months after completion of the application process if an employment relationship does not come into existence. Longer storage takes place if you have expressly declared your consent to this.
Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been intended by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. The blocking or deletion of data will also be carried out if a storage deadline prescribed by the referenced standards expires, unless data storage is a necessity for concluding or performing a contract.
4) Categories of recipients
Unless described otherwise below, the recipient of the personal data processed via our website is generally the data controller (see § I above). The personal data will generally not be communicated to third parties.

Such cases may include criminal investigations, for example. Such a transmission also takes place if you have given legally valid consent.
