Infor­ma­ti­on on data trans­fer to the USA and other non-EU count­ries

Among other things, we use tools of com­pa­nies domic­i­led in the United Sta­tes or other from a data pro­tec­tion per­spec­ti­ve non-secu­re non-EU count­ries. If the­se tools are acti­ve, your per­so­nal data may poten­ti­al­ly be trans­fer­red to the­se non-EU count­ries and may be pro­ces­sed the­re. We must point out that in the­se count­ries, a data pro­tec­tion level that is com­pa­ra­ble to that in the EU can­not be gua­ran­teed. For ins­tance, U.S. enter­pri­ses are under a man­da­te to release per­so­nal data to the secu­ri­ty agen­ci­es and you as the data sub­ject do not have any liti­ga­ti­on opti­ons to defend yours­elf in court. Hence, it can­not be ruled out that U.S. agen­ci­es (e.g., the Secret Ser­vice) may pro­cess, ana­ly­ze, and per­ma­nent­ly archi­ve your per­so­nal data for sur­veil­lan­ce pur­po­ses. We have no con­trol over the­se pro­ces­sing acti­vi­ties.

Revo­ca­ti­on of your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of data

A wide ran­ge of data pro­ces­sing tran­sac­tions are pos­si­ble only sub­ject to your express con­sent. You can also revo­ke at any time any con­sent you have alre­a­dy given us. This shall be wit­hout pre­ju­di­ce to the lawful­ness of any data coll­ec­tion that occur­red pri­or to your revo­ca­ti­on.

Right to object to the coll­ec­tion of data in spe­cial cases; right to object to direct adver­ti­sing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry agen­cy

In the event of vio­la­ti­ons of the GDPR, data sub­jects are entit­led to log a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry agen­cy, in par­ti­cu­lar in the mem­ber sta­te whe­re they usual­ly main­tain their domic­i­le, place of work or at the place whe­re the alle­ged vio­la­ti­on occur­red. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any other admi­nis­tra­ti­ve or court pro­cee­dings available as legal recour­ses.

Right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty

You have the right to have data that we pro­cess auto­ma­ti­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract han­ded over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, machi­ne-rea­da­ble for­mat. If you should demand the direct trans­fer of the data to ano­ther con­trol­ler, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble.

Infor­ma­ti­on about, rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on and era­di­ca­ti­on of data

Within the scope of the appli­ca­ble sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons, you have the right to demand infor­ma­ti­on about your archi­ved per­so­nal data, their source and reci­pi­ents as well as the pur­po­se of the pro­ces­sing of your data at any time.

You have the right to demand the impo­si­ti­on of rest­ric­tions as far as the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data is con­cer­ned. To do so, you may cont­act us at any time. The right to demand rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing appli­es in the fol­lo­wing cases:

• In the event that you should dis­pu­te the cor­rect­ness of your data archi­ved by us, we will usual­ly need some time to veri­fy this cla­im. During the time that this inves­ti­ga­ti­on is ongo­ing, you have the right to demand that we rest­rict the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.
• If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data was/is con­duc­ted in an unlawful man­ner, you have the opti­on to demand the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your data ins­tead of deman­ding the era­di­ca­ti­on of this data.
• If we do not need your per­so­nal data any lon­ger and you need it to exer­cise, defend or cla­im legal entit­le­ments, you have the right to demand the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data ins­tead of its era­di­ca­ti­on.
• If you have rai­sed an objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weig­hed against each other. As long as it has not been deter­mi­ned who­se inte­rests pre­vail, you have the right to demand a rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

If you have rest­ric­ted the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data, the­se data – with the excep­ti­on of their archi­ving – may be pro­ces­sed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to cla­im, exer­cise or defend legal entit­le­ments or to pro­tect the rights of other natu­ral per­sons or legal enti­ties or for important public inte­rest reasons cited by the Euro­pean Uni­on or a mem­ber sta­te of the EU.

Goog­le Tag Mana­ger

We use the Goog­le Tag Mana­ger. The pro­vi­der is Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed, Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land

The Goog­le Tag Mana­ger is a tool that allows us to inte­gra­te track­ing or sta­tis­ti­cal tools and other tech­no­lo­gies on our web­site. The Goog­le Tag Mana­ger its­elf does not crea­te any user pro­files, does not store coo­kies, and does not car­ry out any inde­pen­dent ana­ly­ses. It only mana­ges and runs the tools inte­gra­ted via it. Howe­ver, the Goog­le Tag Mana­ger does coll­ect your IP address, which may also be trans­fer­red to Google’s parent com­pa­ny in the United Sta­tes.

The Goog­le Tag Mana­ger is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the quick and uncom­pli­ca­ted inte­gra­ti­on and admi­nis­tra­ti­on of various tools on his web­site.

Con­tract data pro­ces­sing

We have exe­cu­ted a con­tract data pro­ces­sing agree­ment with Goog­le and are imple­men­ting the strin­gent pro­vi­si­ons of the Ger­man data pro­tec­tion agen­ci­es to the ful­lest when using Goog­le Ana­ly­tics.

Goog­le Ads

The web­site ope­ra­tor uses Goog­le Ads. Goog­le Ads is an online pro­mo­tio­nal pro­gram of Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed (“Goog­le”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land.

Goog­le Ads enables us to dis­play ads in the Goog­le search engi­ne or on third-par­ty web­sites, if the user enters cer­tain search terms into Goog­le (key­word tar­ge­ting). It is also pos­si­ble to place tar­ge­ted ads based on the user data Goog­le has in its pos­ses­si­on (e.g., loca­ti­on data and inte­rests; tar­get group tar­ge­ting). As the web­site ope­ra­tor, we can ana­ly­ze the­se data quan­ti­ta­tively, for ins­tance by ana­ly­zing which search terms resul­ted in the dis­play of our ads and how many ads led to respec­ti­ve clicks.

The use of the­se ser­vices occurs on the basis of your con­sent pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revo­ke your con­sent at any time.

Data trans­mis­si­on to the US is based on the Stan­dard Con­trac­tu­al Clau­ses (SCC) of the Euro­pean Com­mis­si­on. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Goog­le AdSen­se (not per­so­na­li­zed)

This web­site uses Goog­le AdSen­se, an ad embed­ding ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed (“Goog­le”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land.

We use Goog­le AdSen­se in the “non-per­so­na­li­zed” mode. Con­tra­ry to the per­so­na­li­zed mode, the ads are not based on your pre­vious user pat­terns and the ser­vice does not gene­ra­te a user pro­fi­le for you. Ins­tead, the ser­vice uses so-cal­led “con­text infor­ma­ti­on” to choo­se the ads that are pos­ted for you to view. The sel­ec­ted ads are thus based e.g., on your loca­ti­on, the con­tent of the web­site you are visi­ting at the time, or the search terms you are using. To learn more about the distinct dif­fe­ren­ces bet­ween per­so­na­li­zed tar­ge­ting and tar­ge­ting that has not been per­so­na­li­zed by Goog­le AdSen­se, plea­se click on the fol­lo­wing link: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9007336.

Plea­se keep in mind that if Goog­le Adsen­se is used in the non-per­so­na­li­zed mode, it is pos­si­ble that coo­kies are stored or com­pa­ra­ble reco­gni­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies (e.g., device fin­ger­prin­ting) are used.

The use of the­se ser­vices occurs on the basis of your con­sent pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revo­ke your con­sent at any time.

Goog­le Ads Remar­ke­ting

This web­site uses the func­tions of Goog­le Ads Remar­ke­ting. The pro­vi­der of the­se solu­ti­ons is Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed (“Goog­le”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land.

With Goog­le Ads Remar­ke­ting, we can assign peo­p­le who inter­act with our online offe­ring to spe­ci­fic tar­get groups in order to sub­se­quent­ly dis­play inte­rest-based adver­ti­sing to them in the Goog­le adver­ti­sing net­work (remar­ke­ting or retar­ge­ting).

Moreo­ver, it is pos­si­ble to link the adver­ti­sing tar­get groups gene­ra­ted with Goog­le Ads Remar­ke­ting to device encom­pas­sing func­tions of Goog­le. This makes it pos­si­ble to dis­play inte­rest-based cus­to­mi­zed adver­ti­sing mes­sa­ges, depen­ding on your pri­or usa­ge and brow­sing pat­terns on a device (e.g., cell pho­ne) in a man­ner tail­o­red to you as well as on any of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have a Goog­le account, you have the opti­on to object to per­so­na­li­zed adver­ti­sing under the fol­lo­wing link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The use of the­se ser­vices occurs on the basis of your con­sent pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revo­ke your con­sent at any time.

For­ma­ti­on of Tar­get Groups with Cus­to­mer Recon­ci­lia­ti­on

For the for­ma­ti­on of tar­get groups, we use, among other things, the Goog­le Ads Remar­ke­ting cus­to­mer recon­ci­lia­ti­on fea­ture. To achie­ve this, we trans­fer cer­tain cus­to­mer data (e.g., email addres­ses) from our cus­to­mer lists to Goog­le. If the respec­ti­ve cus­to­mers are Goog­le users and are log­ged into their Goog­le accounts, matching adver­ti­sing mes­sa­ges within the Goog­le net­work (e.g., You­Tube, Gmail or in a search engi­ne) are dis­play­ed for them to view.

Goog­le Con­ver­si­on-Track­ing

This web­site uses Goog­le Con­ver­si­on Track­ing. The pro­vi­der of this ser­vice is Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed (“Goog­le”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land.

With the assis­tance of Goog­le Con­ver­si­on Track­ing, we are in a posi­ti­on to reco­gni­ze whe­ther the user has com­ple­ted cer­tain actions. For ins­tance, we can ana­ly­ze the how fre­quent­ly which but­tons on our web­site have been cli­cked and which pro­ducts are review­ed or purcha­sed with par­ti­cu­lar fre­quen­cy. The pur­po­se of this infor­ma­ti­on is to com­pi­le con­ver­si­on sta­tis­tics. We learn how many users have cli­cked on our ads and which actions they have com­ple­ted. We do not recei­ve any infor­ma­ti­on that would allow us to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy the users. Goog­le as such uses coo­kies or com­pa­ra­ble reco­gni­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies for iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on pur­po­ses.

The use of the­se ser­vices occurs on the basis of your con­sent pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revo­ke your con­sent at any time.

Meta-Pixel (form­er­ly Face­book Pixel)

To mea­su­re con­ver­si­on rates, this web­site uses the visi­tor acti­vi­ty pixel of Facebook/Meta. The pro­vi­der of this ser­vice is Meta Plat­forms Ire­land Limi­t­ed, 4 Grand Canal Squa­re, Dub­lin 2, Ire­land. Accor­ding to Facebook’s state­ment the coll­ec­ted data will be trans­fer­red to the USA and other third-par­ty count­ries too.

This tool allows the track­ing of page visi­tors after they have been lin­ked to the web­site of the pro­vi­der after cli­cking on a Face­book ad. This makes it pos­si­ble to ana­ly­ze the effec­ti­ve­ness of Face­book ads for sta­tis­ti­cal and mar­ket rese­arch pur­po­ses and to opti­mi­ze future adver­ti­sing cam­paigns.

For us as the ope­ra­tors of this web­site, the coll­ec­ted data is anony­mous. We are not in a posi­ti­on to arri­ve at any con­clu­si­ons as to the iden­ti­ty of users. Howe­ver, Face­book archi­ves the infor­ma­ti­on and pro­ces­ses it, so that it is pos­si­ble to make a con­nec­tion to the respec­ti­ve user pro­fi­le and Face­book is in a posi­ti­on to use the data for its own pro­mo­tio­nal pur­po­ses in com­pli­ance with the Face­book Data Usa­ge Poli­cy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Face­book to dis­play ads on Face­book pages as well as in loca­ti­ons out­side of Face­book. We as the ope­ra­tor of this web­site have no con­trol over the use of such data.

The use of the­se ser­vices occurs on the basis of your con­sent pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revo­ke your con­sent at any time.

Within the meta pixel, we are using the expan­ded ali­gnment func­tion.

The expan­ded ali­gnment allows us to trans­fer to Meta (Face­book) dif­fe­rent types of data (e.g., place of resi­dence, fede­ral sta­te, zip code, hash­ed email addres­ses, names, gen­der, date of birth or pho­ne num­ber) of our cus­to­mers and pro­s­pects we coll­ect through our web­site. As a result of this acti­va­ti­on, we can tail­or the offers pre­sen­ted in our adver­ti­sing cam­paigns on Face­book to indi­vi­du­als inte­res­ted in what we offer even more pre­cis­e­ly. Moreo­ver, this expan­ded ali­gnment opti­mi­zes the allo­ca­ti­on of web­site con­ver­si­ons and expands cus­tom audi­en­ces.

Inso­far as per­so­nal data is coll­ec­ted on our web­site with the help of the tool descri­bed here and for­ward­ed to Face­book, we and Meta Plat­forms Ire­land Limi­t­ed, 4 Grand Canal Squa­re, Grand Canal Har­bour, Dub­lin 2, Ire­land are joint­ly respon­si­ble for this data pro­ces­sing (Art. 26 DSGVO). The joint respon­si­bi­li­ty is limi­t­ed exclu­si­ve­ly to the coll­ec­tion of the data and its for­war­ding to Face­book. The pro­ces­sing by Face­book that takes place after the onward trans­fer is not part of the joint respon­si­bi­li­ty. The obli­ga­ti­ons incum­bent on us joint­ly have been set out in a joint pro­ces­sing agree­ment. The wor­ding of the agree­ment can be found under: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. Accor­ding to this agree­ment, we are respon­si­ble for pro­vi­ding the pri­va­cy infor­ma­ti­on when using the Face­book tool and for the pri­va­cy-secu­re imple­men­ta­ti­on of the tool on our web­site. Face­book is respon­si­ble for the data secu­ri­ty of Face­book pro­ducts. You can assert data sub­ject rights (e.g., requests for infor­ma­ti­on) regar­ding data pro­ces­sed by Face­book direct­ly with Face­book. If you assert the data sub­ject rights with us, we are obli­ged to for­ward them to Face­book.

You­Tube with expan­ded data pro­tec­tion inte­gra­ti­on

Our web­site embeds vide­os of the web­site You­Tube. The web­site ope­ra­tor is Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed (“Goog­le”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land.

We use You­Tube in the expan­ded data pro­tec­tion mode. Accor­ding to You­Tube, this mode ensu­res that You­Tube does not store any infor­ma­ti­on about visi­tors to this web­site befo­re they watch the video. Nevert­hel­ess, this does not neces­s­a­ri­ly mean that the sha­ring of data with You­Tube part­ners can be ruled out as a result of the expan­ded data pro­tec­tion mode. For ins­tance, regard­less of whe­ther you are wat­ching a video, You­Tube will always estab­lish a con­nec­tion with the Goog­le Dou­ble­Click net­work.

As soon as you start to play a You­Tube video on this web­site, a con­nec­tion to YouTube’s ser­vers will be estab­lished. As a result, the You­Tube ser­ver will be noti­fied, which of our pages you have visi­ted. If you are log­ged into your You­Tube account while you visit our site, you enable You­Tube to direct­ly allo­ca­te your brow­sing pat­terns to your per­so­nal pro­fi­le. You have the opti­on to pre­vent this by log­ging out of your You­Tube account.

Fur­ther­mo­re, after you have star­ted to play a video, You­Tube will be able to place various coo­kies on your device or com­pa­ra­ble tech­no­lo­gies for reco­gni­ti­on (e.g. device fin­ger­prin­ting). In this way You­Tube will be able to obtain infor­ma­ti­on about this website’s visi­tors. Among other things, this infor­ma­ti­on will be used to gene­ra­te video sta­tis­tics with the aim of impro­ving the user fri­end­li­ne­ss of the site and to pre­vent attempts to com­mit fraud.

Under cer­tain cir­cum­s­tances, addi­tio­nal data pro­ces­sing tran­sac­tions may be trig­ge­red after you have star­ted to play a You­Tube video, which are bey­ond our con­trol.

The use of You­Tube is based on our inte­rest in pre­sen­ting our online con­tent in an appe­al­ing man­ner. Pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest. If appro­pria­te con­sent has been obtai­ned, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the sto­rage of coo­kies or the access to infor­ma­ti­on in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­prin­ting) within the mea­ning of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

Goog­le Maps

This web­site uses the map­ping ser­vice Goog­le Maps. The pro­vi­der is Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed (“Goog­le”), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land.

To enable the use of the Goog­le Maps fea­tures, your IP address must be stored. As a rule, this infor­ma­ti­on is trans­fer­red to one of Google’s ser­vers in the United Sta­tes, whe­re it is archi­ved. The ope­ra­tor of this web­site has no con­trol over the data trans­fer. In case Goog­le Maps has been acti­va­ted, Goog­le has the opti­on to use Goog­le Fonts for the pur­po­se of the uni­form depic­tion of fonts. When you access Goog­le Maps, your brow­ser will load the requi­red web fonts into your brow­ser cache, to cor­rect­ly dis­play text and fonts.

We use Goog­le Maps to pre­sent our online con­tent in an appe­al­ing man­ner and to make the loca­ti­ons dis­c­lo­sed on our web­site easy to find. This con­sti­tu­tes a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest as defi­ned in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appro­pria­te con­sent has been obtai­ned, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the sto­rage of coo­kies or the access to infor­ma­ti­on in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­prin­ting) within the mea­ning of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

Hand­ling appli­cant data

We offer web­site visi­tors the oppor­tu­ni­ty to sub­mit job appli­ca­ti­ons to us (e.g., via e‑mail, via pos­tal ser­vices on by sub­mit­ting the online job appli­ca­ti­on form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, pur­po­se and use of the per­so­nal data coll­ec­ted from you in con­junc­tion with the appli­ca­ti­on pro­cess. We assu­re you that the coll­ec­tion, pro­ces­sing, and use of your data will occur in com­pli­ance with the appli­ca­ble data pri­va­cy rights and all other sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons and that your data will always be trea­ted as strict­ly con­fi­den­ti­al.

Scope and pur­po­se of the coll­ec­tion of data

If you sub­mit a job appli­ca­ti­on to us, we will pro­cess any affi­lia­ted per­so­nal data (e.g., cont­act and com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons data, appli­ca­ti­on docu­ments, notes taken during job inter­views, etc.), if they are requi­red to make a decis­i­on con­cer­ning the estab­lish­ment or an employ­ment rela­ti­onship. The legal grounds for the afo­re­men­tio­ned are § 26 BDSG accor­ding to Ger­man Law (Nego­tia­ti­on of an Employ­ment Rela­ti­onship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (Gene­ral Con­tract Nego­tia­ti­ons) and – pro­vi­ded you have given us your con­sent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revo­ke any con­sent given at any time. Within our com­pa­ny, your per­so­nal data will only be shared with indi­vi­du­als who are invol­ved in the pro­ces­sing of your job appli­ca­ti­on.

If your job appli­ca­ti­on should result in your recruit­ment, the data you have sub­mit­ted will be archi­ved on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the pur­po­se of imple­men­ting the employ­ment rela­ti­onship in our data pro­ces­sing sys­tem.

Data Archi­ving Peri­od

If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or with­draw your appli­ca­ti­on, we reser­ve the right to retain the data you have sub­mit­ted on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the appli­ca­ti­on pro­ce­du­re (rejec­tion or with­dra­wal of the appli­ca­ti­on). After­wards the data will be dele­ted, and the phy­si­cal appli­ca­ti­on docu­ments will be des­troy­ed. The sto­rage ser­ves in par­ti­cu­lar as evi­dence in the event of a legal dis­pu­te. If it is evi­dent that the data will be requi­red after the expiry of the 6‑month peri­od (e.g., due to an impen­ding or pen­ding legal dis­pu­te), dele­ti­on will only take place when the pur­po­se for fur­ther sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es.

Lon­ger sto­rage may also take place if you have given your agree­ment (Artic­le 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if sta­tu­to­ry data reten­ti­on requi­re­ments pre­clude the dele­ti­on.
