If you have any questions regarding our email archiving system, please contact our Data Protection Officer. We would also point out that we only consider application documents in PDF format. Our security systems filter out and do not deliver compressed (WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip etc.) files. We do not consider applications in Word file format and other file formats, and we delete these unread. Please note that application documents sent unencrypted by email may be opened by third parties before they arrive at our IT systems. We assume that any of our replies to unencrypted application emails may also be unencrypted. If you do not want this, please let us know in your application email.

Right to data portability
You have the right for us to provide you with the personal data that you have transmitted to us, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You can also request that we transfer this data to a third party immediately on your first instruction, provided that the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by us within the framework of automated data processing. In exercising this right of data portability, you also have the right to have your personal data transferred directly to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

If you suspect that your data is being illegally processed on our website, you can of course at any time bring about a legal clarification of the problem. Irrespective of this, you have the option of contacting a supervisory authority. You have the right to lodge a complaint in the EU Member State of your place of residence, place of work, and/or place of alleged infringement, i.e. you can choose the supervisory authority to which you apply in the above places. The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted will then inform you of the status and results of your complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
