If an employment relationship is established, we store the applicant data for as long as it is required for the employment relationship and to the extent that legal regulations justify an obligation to store it. If no employment contract is concluded with an applicant, we store the applicant data for a maximum of six months on the basis of our legitimate interest in enabling the defense of claims or a function of preserving evidence in accordance with applicable anti-discrimination and equal treatmant laws and regulations (e.g., Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (AGG) in Germany).
