If your application is not successful, your personal data will be erased no later than six months after the end of the application process unless processing your data is required for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims (cf. Art. 17(3)(e) GDPR).

Your data will only be processed beyond the specific application process if you have also expressly consented to your data's continued storage in our database after the expiration of the respective application process so that we may potentially contact you at a later date if there are job vacancies.

If we contact you within this time period with respect to new positions, this time period commences once again with each such contact.
