your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters. The

storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our

by Google. When you access a page on our website, your browser will load the required web fonts into

your browser cache to correctly display text and fonts. To do this, the browser you use will have to

establish a connection with Google’s servers. As a result, Google will learn that your IP address was

used to access this website. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on a legitimate interest in a

uniform presentation of the font on the operator’s website. If appropriate consent has been obtained,

the processing is carried out exclusively on the consent. This consent can be revoked at any time. If

your browser should not support Web Fonts, a standard font installed on your computer will be used.

archiving periods.

9. Custom Services

Handling applicant data

It is possible to submit job applications to us (e.g., via e-mail). Also, it is possible to send application

documents to be used for the candidate search for one of our clients. Below, we will inform you on the

scope, purpose and use of the personal data that are sent by you. We assure you that the collection,

processing, and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and

all other statutory provisions.

Scope and purpose of the collection of data: If you submit a job application to us, we will process any

affiliated personal data (e.g., contact and communications data, application documents, notes taken

during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a decision concerning the establishment or an

employment relationship. The legal grounds for the aforementioned are negotiation of an Employment

Relationship or – provided you have given us your consent – your consent. You may revoke any

consent given at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals

who are involved in the processing of your job application. If your job application should result in your

recruitment, the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of the purpose of

implementing the employment relationship in our data processing system.

If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we

reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests for up to

6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The

storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will

be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute),

deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies. Longer storage

may also take place if you have given your agreement or if statutory data retention requirements

preclude the deletion.

If you send us application documents to be considered for the candidate search of one of our

clients, we only store your data temporarily. But with your consent, we will make your details available

to CCR Offices worldwide via our candidate database. CCR  Offices worldwide

have access and can consider you for positions. If after 7 years your data has not been considered for

one of the positions to be filled through us, CCR will delete your data from our database.
