Privacy policy for applicants

(as at 26.05.2025)
Thank you for your interest in working for our company. The protection of your personal data is important to us. In the following, we will inform you about how we process your data as part of the application process.

Responsible in terms of data protection law is:

F.& M. Lautenschläger GmbH & Co KG
Zum Engelshof 1 | 50996 Cologne

E-mail: info@lautenschlaeger.net
Phone: +49 221 35017-0

We process your personal data exclusively for the purpose of carrying out the application process.

The legal bases for this are:

• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (initiation of an employment relationship)
• § Section 26 (1) BDSG (data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship)
• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent – e.g. for longer storage)

We process the following types of data in particular:

• Master data (name, address, contact details)
• Application documents (cover letter, CV, certificates etc.)
• Communication data (e.g. e-mail traffic, conversation notes)
• if applicable, special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO (e.g. health data – only with express consent).

Within our company, only those persons who are involved in the selection process will have access to your data. Your data will not be passed on to third parties unless you have given your consent or there is a legal obligation to do so.

Your data will be stored for the duration of the application process. After completion of the procedure, your data will be deleted no later than 6 months after a rejection has been sent, unless you have expressly consented to longer storage (e.g. for a talent pool).

If you are hired, we will transfer your application documents to your personnel file and inform you of this separately.

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. Unfortunately, we cannot process your application without this data and therefore cannot consider it.

You have the following rights:

• Information about your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Correction of incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Deletion of your data, provided there are no retention obligations to the contrary (Art. 17 DSGVO)
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Objection to the processing of your data (Art. 21 DSGVO)
• Withdrawal of consent with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) DSGVO)

To exercise your rights, please contact: datenschutz@lautenschlaeger.net

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. Responsible is e.g:
