The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of these websites. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Your IP address will never be merged with other Google data.

6. Social Links
On our website you will find links to the social networks Instagram and LinkedIn. You can recognize the links by the respective company logo of the social network. If you follow these links, a new browser window will open in which you will be forwarded to the respective social network. A connection to the servers of the social network is established in the course of which data is transmitted to the social network. This is for example
• the address of the website on which the activated link is located
• Date and time the website was accessed or the link was activated
• Information about the browser used and the operating system used
• IP address
If you are already logged in to the corresponding social network at the time the link is clicked, the provider of the network may be able to determine your user name and possibly even your real name from the data transmitted and to store this information in your personal user account and the Assign visit to our site. You can exclude this possibility of assignment to your personal user account if you log out of your user account beforehand.
Please note that we have no influence on the scope, type and purpose of data processing by the provider of the respective social network. The social network servers are located in the United States and other countries outside the European Union.

If the person responsible for processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the person responsible for processing.
