If you reach out to us using our contact form or by e-mail, we will store the data that you provide so that we can respond to you. If you use our contact form, you will need to include your e-mail address to enable us to give you an answer. You are free to provide other data on a voluntary basis.

The data that you supply are processed on the basis of the consent given to us when you contact us (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

Unless we need your personal data to do something that you have asked us to do before entering into a contract or to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, we will erase the data collected immediately after answering your enquiry.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that communications with us by e-mail are not encrypted and therefore that we cannot guarantee the complete security of such data.

4. Job applications

If you decide to apply to us for employment by postal mail or e-mail, you should provide us with your full name, your postal or electronic contact address, a cover letter and your résumé. You are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide these data. However, we will not be able to process your application without them.

Please indicate whether or not we have your permission to keep your application for a period of up to 12 months so that we can contact you if there are any future vacancies. Naturally, you are under no obligation to do so.

We will use the data that you provide in your application exclusively for the purposes of processing your application. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and, insofar as special categories of personal data (e.g. information on your health, your religion, your ethnic origin, your political orientation or other ‘sensitive’ data) are involved, pursuant to Art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR. If you would prefer that we not process such special categories of data, we recommend that you not provide such information in your application or delete or anonymize it.

You may withdraw your consent, in whole or in part, with future effect at any time. If you wish to withdraw your consent, please write to us at H.P. Marketing & Consulting Wüst GmbH, Grootkoppel 9, 23858 Reinfeld or e-mail us at info@hp-jammer.de. Your data will then be erased straightaway. Please be advised that we will then not be able to consider your application or not be able to consider it in the form submitted. However, we also reserve the right to retain certain data for a period of up to six months in such cases in order to fulfill our legal obligations, in particular the documentation duties under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz).

If your application is successful, the data submitted could also be used for personnel administration purposes in the course of your employment. The legal basis for this is Art. 88 of the GDPR in conjunction with § 26 of the amended Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz n.F.).

In addition, we process data for the following purposes to safeguard our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR: It is possible that legal claims may arise by or against us in connection with the application process (e.g. claims under the General Equal Treatment Act) or liability for pre-contractual conduct). It may therefore under certain circumstances be necessary to process personal data to establish or defend such claims.

Your personal data will be processed only during the application process. If we cannot offer you a position, we will keep the data that we received from you for a period of up to six months after termination of the application process (from the date of notification to that effect) in order to be able to clarify any issues that may arise in connection with your job rejection and to fulfill our documentation duties under the General Equal Treatment Act.

If we are still interested in your candidacy and you have given us your consent to do so, we will retain your data for up to 12 months in order to be able to contact you in the event of future vacancies.

If your application is successful, the data submitted could also be used for personnel administration purposes in the course of your employment. In that case, the data will be stored for the duration of your employment and then erased at the end of the time limits prescribed by law or the respective employment agreement.

Art. 16 of the GDPR also gives you the right to have inaccurate data rectified and any incomplete personal data completed.

Additionally, Art. 17 of the GDPR allows you to have personal data concerning you erased if any of the grounds listed in that article applies (if the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were processed, if you have withdrawn your consent and no other legal ground exists for processing, if you have availed yourself of your right to object to processing pursuant to Art. 21 of the GDPR, if the data were unlawfully processed or if erasure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation). However, the right to erasure does not apply where processing is necessary for us to be able to exercise our right of freedom of expression and information, to comply with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Pursuant to Art. 18 of the GDPR, you also have the right to have the processing of your data restricted if you contest the accuracy of the data, if the processing is unlawful, but you are nevertheless opposed to having it erased, and if we no longer need the data, but you need the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or where you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 of the GDPR.

Art. 20 of the GDPR also gives you the right to receive personal data that you have made available to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to require that the data be transferred to another controller.

Furthermore, where we process your data in reliance on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), Art. 21 of the GDPR entitles you to object to our processing on grounds relating to your particular situation or to object to processing for direct marketing purposes. In the case of processing for direct marketing purposes, you have a general right to object without providing any grounds.

According to Art. 7(3) of the GDPR, you may withdraw your consent at any time. That means we may not continue to process data on the basis of that consent in the future.
