Processing on the basis of legitimate interest - Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR

Insofar as the processing is carried out to safeguard a legitimate interest of us or a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing. Our legitimate interest arises in particular from the following reasons:

The proper implementation and optimisation of the application process
Assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims

Processing of special categories of personal data - Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR
If you have given your consent to the processing of special categories of personal data, such as health data, religious affiliation or nationality, your data will be processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR.

Personnel department
Personio SE & Co KG
External employees/freelancers, if they are involved in filling the vacancies
Affiliated companies within the E.ON Group, insofar as they are involved in filling the vacancies

Otherwise, data will only be passed on to recipients outside the company if this is permitted or required by law, if the transfer is necessary to fulfil legal obligations or if we have your consent.

Transfer of personal data to a third country

Your personal data will not be transferred to third countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area and this is not planned.

Duration of the storage of personal data

We will delete your personal data as soon as the purposes for its storage mentioned under point 4 no longer apply, or you object to the use of your personal data (in the case of processing on the basis of legitimate interests) or you revoke your previously given consent. However, your personal data may also be stored beyond this, in particular in the following cases:

if contractual, legal (in particular from HGB, StGB and AO) or statutory retention periods prevent deletion

for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims
if this is necessary under European or national law to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject.

The following retention periods in particular result for us from statutory provisions:

After decision on non-appointment: 6 months retention period for application documents (Section 15 (4) of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG), Section 224 of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO)).

If the applicant has consented, the application documents will be included in the applicant pool and stored there for a maximum of 2 years from the date of consent. They will be deleted when the purpose no longer applies or when the applicant withdraws their consent.

If you are hired by our company, your personal data will be deleted when the purpose no longer applies, at the latest after termination of the employment relationship, provided that there are no statutory retention periods to prevent deletion.

Rights of data

According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:

If your personal data is processed, you have the right to obtain information from the controller about the personal data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR).
If incorrect personal data is processed, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR).
If the legal requirements are met, you can request the erasure or restriction of processing (Art. 17 and 18 GDPR).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The supervisory authority responsible for us is (The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information North Rhine-Westphalia). You can contact them at:
