17.3 Applications for job postings via email On our website, we currently advertise vacant positions in a separate section to which interested parties can apply by email to the provided contact address. Inclusion in the application process requires applicants to provide us with all personal data necessary for a well-founded and informed assessment and selection together with the application by email. This includes general information about the person (name, address, a telephone or electronic contact option) as well as performance-specific evidence of the qualifications necessary for a position. Health-related information that must be specially considered in the applicant's interest in social protection may also be required. The individual components that a job application must contain for its eligibility can be found in the respective job advertisement and how these components should be transmitted by email. Upon receipt of the application sent using the provided email contact address, we store the applicant data and evaluate it exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. For any queries arising during processing, we use either the email address provided by the applicant with their application or a provided telephone number at our discretion. The legal basis for these processing activities, including contacting for queries, is generally Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (in Germany in conjunction with § 26 Para. 1 BDSG), according to which the applicant procedure is considered as the initiation of an employment contract. If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR (e.g., health data such as information about severe disability) are requested from applicants in the context of the application process, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b GDPR, so that we can exercise the rights arising from labor law and social security and social protection law and fulfill our obligations in this regard. Alternatively, processing of special categories of data may also be based on Art. 9 Para. 1 lit. h GDPR if it serves purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, the assessment of the applicant's work capacity, medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the healthcare or social sector, or the management of systems and services in the healthcare or social sector. If, as part of the above-described evaluation, the applicant is not selected or if an applicant withdraws their application prematurely, their data transmitted by email as well as all electronic correspondence including the original application email will be deleted no later than 6 months after notification. This period is based on our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions about the application and, if necessary, to comply with our obligations to provide evidence from the regulations on equal treatment of applicants. In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be processed further on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (in Germany in conjunction with § 26 Para. 1 BDSG) for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
