5. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING
We process your personal data in accordance with European and German data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). In detail, this means that we process your personal data in particular if, to the extent and insofar as

• it is necessary for the protection of our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of third parties (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

If, in exceptional cases, we process so-called special categories of personal data about you (data revealing national or ethnic origin, political, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, as well as the processing of genetic data, biometric data that can be used to uniquely identify a natural person, health data or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation), this is done in particular if, to the extent and insofar as:

8. STORAGE PERIOD
We will only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described. The retention periods required for this are reviewed by carefully weighing up the necessity of data processing:

If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, we will usually store it until you withdraw your consent. In all other cases, we only store your personal data to the extent necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations, or for verification purposes within the statutory limitation periods. The main statutory retention periods are set out in Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) and amount to six and ten years respectively.

After the applicable retention periods have expired, we will delete or anonymise your personal data in a secure manner.

As a rule, we process personal data that we have received directly from you in the course of your use of the website, e.g. via an application in the career section.

In some cases, we also process personal data that we have not received directly from you. This concerns data that we have obtained in a permissible manner from publicly accessible sources (e.g. from the Internet, the press or commercial or association registers) or that has been lawfully made available to us by other group companies or other third parties (e.g. a credit agency).
