Data protection information in the application process

We process the applicant data only for the purpose and as part of the application process in accordance with the legal requirements. The applicant data is processed to fulfill our (pre)contractual obligations within the scope of the application process within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b. GDPR Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR insofar as the data processing becomes necessary for us, e.g. in the context of legal proceedings (in Germany § 26 BDSG also applies).

The application process requires that applicants provide us with the applicant data. If we offer an online form, the necessary applicant data is marked, otherwise it results from the job descriptions and basically includes personal information, postal and contact addresses and the documents belonging to the application, such as cover letter, curriculum vitae and certificates. In addition, applicants can voluntarily provide us with additional information.

By submitting the application to us, the applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the type and scope set out in this data protection declaration.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are voluntarily communicated as part of the application process, they are also processed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability or ethnic origin) . Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, they are also processed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit are).

If made available, applicants can send us their applications using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form using state-of-the-art technology.

Applicants can also send us their applications via email. However, we ask you to note that e-mails are generally not sent in encrypted form and that the applicants themselves must ensure that they are encrypted. We can therefore not assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and receipt on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or sending it by post. Because instead of applying via the online form and e-mail, applicants still have the option of sending us their application by post.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided by the applicants can be processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the data of the applicants will be deleted. The applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time.

The deletion takes place, subject to a justified revocation by the applicant, after a period of six months, so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and meet our obligations to provide evidence under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses are archived in accordance with tax regulations.

Casting / model file

We offer talents, performers and models the opportunity to be in our "model file" for a period of two years on the basis of consent within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b. and Art. 7 GDPR to be included.

Applicants are informed that their consent to being included in the file is voluntary. Consent can be revoked at any time for the future and an objection can be filed within the meaning of Art. 21 GDPR.
