4. What is the talent pool?

The talent pool is used to match your application profile with relevant future positions. In the event of a match, we will contact you again. If you expressly wish to be included in our talent pool by giving us your consent by e-mail, we will store your data until you revoke it, but for no longer than 2 years. After this period, your data will be deleted automatically and without separate notification.

You can also have your applicant profile deleted by us at any time. However, if you were in an active application process, we usually cannot delete your data immediately. In this case, we will block your data for a maximum of 6 months. Individuals in the recruiting department will then only have access to your profile upon request to our system provider. After this blocking period, your data will be completely deleted.
