We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal requirements, and that your data will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.  <\/p> <h4>Scope and Purpose of Data Collection  <\/h4> <p>If you submit an application to us, we will process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication information, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (general pre-contractual processing), and\u2014if you have provided consent\u2014Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
