To that end, we will also disclose the established criteria for the retention period.

a) If you are using our website for informational purposes only (meaning you are not transmitting other information), we will collect only the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to peruse our website, we will collect the following data, which we need in order to display our website for you and ensure its stability and security (this is legally based on Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR):

b) Besides the aforementioned data, cookies will be stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive allocated to the browser you are using, and which send certain information to the party (in this case, us) who set the cookie.

a) This website uses the following types of cookies, whose scope and functionality are explained in the following:

• Transient cookies (see b)
• Persistent cookies (see c).

b) Transient cookies are erased automatically if you close the browser. These especially include session cookies. Those store a ‘session ID’ with which various inquiries of your browser can be allocated to the joint session. This allows us to recognise your computer if your return to our website. The session cookies are erased if you log out or close your browser.

c) Persistent cookies are erased automatically after a prescribed duration that can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in your browser’s security settings at any time.

You can configure your browser settings as you desire: to reject third-party cookies or all cookies, for example. But doing so might prevent you from using all of this website’s functions.

a) If you have granted consent to have your data processed, you may withdraw it at any time. Such a withdrawal influences the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have declared it to us.

b) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on a weighing of interests, you may lodge an objection against that processing. This is the case in particular (but not exclusively) if the processing is not needed to fulfil a contract with you, which we present in the following description of the functions. If you make such an objection, please tell us why we should not process your personal data as we are doing. If you have a justified objection, we will examine the circumstances and will either stop processing the data, adjust its processing, or show you our compulsory legitimate reasons why we must continue the processing.

c) Obviously, you can object to our processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can inform us of your objection to processing for advertising purposes under the following contact data: EppsteinFOILS GmbH, Burgstraße 81 – 83 in D-65817 Eppstein (see our legal notice). 

We will collect and process your application data electronically in order to process the application. If your application results in the formation of an employment contract, we may store your transmitted data in your personnel file for the purposes of the typical organisational and administrative processes while observing the relevant legal requirements.  
If your job application is rejected, the data you have transmitted will be erased automatically two months after we announce that rejection. This does not apply if longer storage is required by law (such as the burden of proof under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG)) or if you have consented to longer storage in our database of prospective hires. You can transmit you application documents to us in encrypted form. To that end, you can use the free encryption of a ZIP file and disclose the password to us separately over the phone.
