Retention Period

Your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary to conduct the recruitment process.

If your application is unsuccessful, we will retain your application data for a period of 90 days after the conclusion of the recruitment process. This retention period serves the purpose of complying with legal obligations and defending potential legal claims, in particular under applicable employment and anti-discrimination laws.

After the retention period has expired, your personal data will be deleted or anonymized. Where data is anonymized, it can no longer be associated with you personally and may only be used for statistical purposes, such as recruitment reporting and workforce analytics.

If you accept an offer of employment with us, the personal data collected during the application process will become part of your personnel file and will be retained in accordance with applicable legal requirements and internal retention policies.
