Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data means data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (for example communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin Frauen-Fußball GmbH
Krahmerstraße 15
12207 Berlin
Germany
Telephone: +49 (30) 75 44 48 98 00
Email: info@fcviktoria.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (for example names, email addresses etc.).
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (for example retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, erasure takes place after these grounds cease to apply.
General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
Where you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or, in the case of the processing of special categories of data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR, on the basis of Article 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information in your terminal device (for example via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer:
MUNAS Consulting
Dr. Markus Schneider
Flotowstraße 3
15370 Fredersdorf-Vogelsdorf
Germany
Telephone: +49 1556 3093279
Email: datenschutz@fcviktoria.com
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also involves the transfer of personal data to such external parties.
We only pass on personal data to external parties where this is necessary for performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (for example transfer of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer of data. Where we use processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controller agreement is concluded.
Data transfers to third countries
Where we process data in a third country (that is, outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or where data processing takes place in the context of the use of services of third parties or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, entities or companies, this only occurs in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Subject to explicit consent, contractual or legal necessity, we only process data in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, on the basis of contractual obligations through so-called Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission, where certifications or binding internal data protection rules exist (Articles 44 to 49 GDPR; information page of the European Commission:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).
Note on data transfer to the United States
Tools from companies based in the United States are integrated into our website. If you consent to the use of these tools, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that the United States is not a “safe third country” in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take sufficient legal action against this. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent previously granted at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data processing in specific cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IN EACH CASE IS SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU LODGE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR RELEVANT PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data which we process on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have this data transmitted to yourself or to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.
Access, rectification and erasure
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, and, where appropriate, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to this end. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
-
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the period of verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
-
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
-
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
-
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
Where you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL and TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If, after conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data (for example account number in the case of direct debit authorisation), this data is required for processing payments.
Payment transactions via the common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to unsolicited marketing emails
We hereby object to the use of contact details published in the context of the legal notice obligations for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.
5. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies
Our internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets which do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
Cookies may originate from us (“first-party cookies”) or from third-party companies (“third-party cookies”). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (for example cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, since certain website functions would not work without them (for example shopping cart function or display of videos). Other cookies can be used for analysing user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you (for example shopping cart function), or for optimising the website (for example cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, this website’s functionality may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:
-
browser type and browser version
-
operating system used
-
referrer URL
-
hostname of the accessing computer
-
time of the server request
-
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website; for this, the server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact data you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries submitted to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request erasure, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (for example after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Enquiry by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, where your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries submitted to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request erasure, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (for example after your request has been processed in full). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Communication via WhatsApp
We use, among other things, the instant messaging service WhatsApp for communication with our customers and other third parties. Provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Communication takes place using end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the content of the communication. However, WhatsApp obtains access to metadata that arise in the course of the communication process (for example sender, recipient and time). We also point out that, according to WhatsApp’s own statements, WhatsApp shares personal data of its users with its US-based parent company Meta.
Further details on data processing can be found in WhatsApp’s privacy policy:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in the fastest and most effective possible communication with customers, prospective customers and other business and contractual partners (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of consent; this can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
The communication content exchanged between you and us via WhatsApp remains with us until you request erasure, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (for example after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information is available here:

Beyond this, no further transfer of your data takes place unless you have expressly agreed to such transfer. In this case, the legal basis is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. This consent may be withdrawn at any time without giving reasons by contacting us (using the contact details above). Media recordings created by us for the purposes of public relations, external presentation and appropriate reporting are deleted as soon as you exercise your right to object, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or statutory duties of storage and retention or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims require further storage. Media recordings processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR will be deleted as soon as you withdraw your consent, unless statutory duties of storage and retention or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims require further storage. Consent to the processing of media recordings may be withdrawn at any time in writing for the future by contacting us at the above address. The lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal remains unaffected.
7. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager. Provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate and manage tracking or analytics tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies or perform independent analyses. It only serves to manage and execute the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which may also be transmitted to the US parent company of Google.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. Where consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (for example device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information is available here:

Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. Provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of visit, operating systems used and origin of the user. These data may be aggregated in a user ID and assigned to the respective user device.
We can also use Google Analytics to record mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Furthermore, Google Analytics applies various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (for example cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Data transfers to the United States are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780
IP anonymisation
IP anonymisation is activated on this website for Google Analytics. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.
Browser plugin
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Further information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
Google Signals
We use Google Signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects, among other things, your location, search history and YouTube history as well as demographic data (visitor data). These data can be used by Google Signals for personalised advertising. If you have a Google account, the visitor data from Google Signals will be linked to your Google account and used for personalised advertising messages. The data is also used to create anonymised statistics on user behaviour of our users.
Processor agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Google Analytics e-commerce measurement
This website uses the “e-commerce measurement” function of Google Analytics. With the help of e-commerce measurement, the website operator can analyse the purchasing behaviour of website visitors in order to improve its online marketing campaigns. In this context, information such as orders placed, average order values, shipping costs and the time from viewing a product to purchase are recorded. These data can be aggregated by Google under a transaction ID that is associated with the respective user or their device.
Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)
This website uses the visitor action pixel from Meta for conversion measurement. Provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Meta, the collected data is also transferred to the United States and other third countries.
This makes it possible to track the behaviour of site visitors after they click on a Meta ad and are redirected to the provider’s website. This allows the effectiveness of Meta ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.
The collected data is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, making a connection to the respective user profile on Facebook or Instagram possible, and Meta may use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Meta Data Policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This allows Meta to place advertisements on Facebook, Instagram and other channels. We cannot influence this use of data.
The use of this service is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
We use the “advanced matching” function within Meta Pixel. Advanced matching allows us to transmit various types of data (for example place of residence, federal state, postal code, hashed email addresses, names, gender, date of birth or telephone numbers) of our customers and prospective customers, which we collect on our website, to Meta. This enables us to tailor our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram more precisely to persons who are interested in our offers. Advanced matching also improves the attribution of website conversions and expands custom audiences.
To the extent that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and transmitted to Meta, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Article 26 GDPR).
Joint responsibility is limited to the collection of data and its transfer to Meta. The subsequent processing by Meta is not part of the joint responsibility. The jointly responsible obligations have been set out in an agreement on joint processing.
The wording of the agreement can be found at:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum
According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Meta tool and for implementing the tool on our website in a manner compliant with data protection law. Meta is responsible for the data security of the Meta products. You may assert data subject rights (for example access requests) regarding the data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly with Meta. If you assert data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Meta.
Data transfers to the United States are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

LinkedIn Insight Tag
This website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag. Provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag
With LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse their professional key data (for example career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) and better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight Tag to measure whether visitors to our website perform a purchase or another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement may take place across devices (for example from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that enables us to show targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, the person being targeted is not identified.
LinkedIn also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics and time of access). IP addresses are truncated or – if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices – hashed (pseudonymised). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised data is deleted within 180 days.
We, as the website operator, cannot assign the data collected by LinkedIn to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data on its servers in the United States and use it for its own advertising purposes. Details can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy:
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig

8. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data in the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with statutory requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

To use the functions of Google Maps it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for uniform display of fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required for handling online communication. This includes in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone and loudspeakers and the type of connection.
Where content is exchanged, uploaded or provided in any other way within the tool, this is likewise stored on the servers of the tool provider. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat or instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information shared during use of the service.
Please note that we do not have full influence over the data processing processes of the tools used. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective providers. For further information on data processing by the conference tools, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective tools used, which we have listed below.
Purpose and legal bases
The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Where consent has been requested, the tools are used on the basis of this consent; consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
Storage period
The data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request erasure, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Handling applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (for example by email, by post or via an online application form). Below we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected in the context of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data takes place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (for example contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken in the course of interviews etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal bases for this are Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – where consent has been given – Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Your personal data will be passed on within our company only to persons involved in processing your application.
Where the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Storage period for data
Where we are unable to make you an offer, where you reject an offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to six months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data is then deleted and physical application documents are destroyed. Storage serves, in particular, as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after expiry of the six-month period (for example due to a pending or threatened legal dispute), erasure will not take place until the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention requirements prevent erasure.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we are unable to make you a job offer, we may offer to include you in our applicant pool. In the event that you are included, all documents and information from your application will be stored in the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the applicant pool is based exclusively on your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). The granting of consent is voluntary and is not related to the ongoing application procedure. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted where no statutory retention reasons exist.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent is given.
