Within the framework of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Contacting candidates with relevant job opportunities, internal organization, data security, prevention of legal claims.
Based on consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): Where you have given consent for specific purposes, such as long-term storage in our candidate database beyond a specific search.
Due to legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): Identity verification, tax obligations, money laundering prevention.
Within our company, only those persons who need access to your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations receive access. Given that we operate as a solo founder firm, this is primarily Christian Rados personally.

Primary data storage takes place within the European Union (SharePoint in EU, IONOS in Germany). Where processors are based in the USA (Webflow, Calendly, Jotform, Airtable, Microsoft parent), data transfer is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and additionally on EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations.
