We process the mentioned personal data either to take steps prior to entering into a contract (conclusion of an employment agreement) (Art 6 (1) b GDPR) or on the basis of your explicit consent (Art 6 (1) a GDPR).

After the application process has been completed, data will only be further processed by us in case we will welcome you as our new employee, or if you allow us to keep your application on file for future consideration.
