Data protection for applicants

Data protection information for applicants (Art. 13 GDPR)

With these data protection notices, we inform you about how we process your personal data in the context of an application process.

Timo Külbel (LingerieMeMade)
Gutenbergstraße 14
28816 Stuhr
Phone: 017684138695
Email (data protection contact): timo@lingeriememade.de

2. Data protection officer

A data protection officer has not been appointed. If you have questions about data protection, please contact the above contact details.

3. Purposes of processing

We process your application data for the following purposes:

  • Conducting the application process (review, examination, selection decision)

  • Contact and communication (e.g., inquiries, appointment arrangements)

  • Documentation of the application process

  • If applicable, assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims

4. Categories of personal data

We process the following categories of data in particular:

  • Master data (e.g., name)

  • Contact data (e.g., address, phone number, email)

  • Application and qualification data (e.g., CV, certificates, proofs, work experience, availability)

  • Communication data (e.g., email contents, conversation notes)

  • Other information you voluntarily provide to us (e.g., portfolio/work samples)

5. Legal bases of processing

Processing is carried out – depending on the situation – on the following legal bases:

  • § 26 para. 1 BDSG (decision on the establishment of an employment relationship)

  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures), as applicable

  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest), e.g., for legal defense and to ensure a proper application process

  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), provided you agree to processing beyond this (e.g., longer retention / talent pool)

6. Recipients of the data

Only persons who need your application data to make a decision about your application will have access to it.

We may also use service providers (e.g., IT/hosting, email, or cloud service providers) who process personal data on our behalf. These service providers are contractually obligated to comply with data protection requirements (order processing).

7. Transfer to third countries

If services are used in the application process whose providers or subcontractors are located in countries outside the EU/EEA, a transfer to third countries may take place. In these cases, we ensure the necessary guarantees according to the GDPR (e.g., standard contractual clauses), as far as required.

8. Storage duration / deletion

We generally store your application data only as long as necessary for the decision on your application.

  • In case of rejection or termination of the application process, we usually delete your application data no later than 6 months.

  • Longer storage only takes place if this is necessary (e.g., to assert/defend legal claims) or if you have consented to this (e.g., talent pool).

  • In the event of hiring, relevant application documents are transferred to the personnel files and stored according to the applicable retention periods.

9. Talent pool (only with consent)

If we are to store your application beyond the duration of the specific application process (talent pool), this happens exclusively on the basis of your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future (e.g., by email to timo@lingeriememade.de).

10. Your rights

You have – insofar as the legal requirements are met – the following rights:

  • Information (Art. 15 GDPR)

  • Correction (Art. 16 GDPR)

  • Deletion (Art. 17 GDPR)

  • Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

  • Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

  • Objection to certain processing (Art. 21 GDPR)

11. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible is particularly the supervisory authority of your place of residence or the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us.

12. Obligation to provide data

Providing your data is voluntary. However, without certain data (e.g., contact and qualification information), we may not be able to consider your application or not fully consider it.

13. No automated decision-making

An exclusively automated decision-making process (including profiling) does not take place in the application procedure.
