datenschutz@lobster.de- Personal Data in the Application Process
Personal data refers to information about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. We collect your personal data that is relevant to the application process or that has been provided to us in the course of the application process (e.g., last name, first name, address, email, the position applied for, and details of your personal application). To carefully evaluate your application, we may also require additional information, such as details about your previous professional experience. Information that cannot be directly or indirectly associated with your true identity, however, is not considered personal data. - Basis and Purpose of Processing Personal Data in Applications and the Application Process
If you apply to us electronically, such as by email or via our web form, we collect and process your personal data for the purpose of processing the application process and conducting pre-contractual measures.
By submitting an application on our recruiting page, you express your interest in being employed by us. In this context, you provide us with personal data, which we use and store exclusively for the purpose of job searching/application.
In particular, the following data is collected:
- Name (first and last name)
- Email address
- Phone number
- LinkedIn profile (optional)
- How you became aware of us
Additionally, you have the option to send or upload relevant documents such as a cover letter, your resume, and certificates. These may contain additional personal data, such as date of birth, address, etc. Only authorized employees from the HR department or employees involved in the application process have access to your data.
The storage of personal data is generally for the sole purpose of filling the vacant position for which you have applied.
Your data will be stored for a period of 6 months after the conclusion of the application process. This is usually done to fulfill legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. After this period, we are obliged to delete or anonymize your data. In the case of anonymization, the data is available to us only as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (e.g., the proportion of female or male applicants, the number of applications per period, etc.).
Furthermore, we reserve the right to store your data in our "Talent Pool" for 12 months after the conclusion of the application process to identify any further interesting positions for you. This also applies, for example, to applications for a training or internship position. By accepting the privacy policy, you consent to the possible extended storage of your data and inclusion in our "Talent Pool."
If you receive and accept an offer of employment with us as part of the application process, we will store the personal data collected during the application process for at least the duration of the employment relationship.

This database is operated by Personio GmbH, which offers personnel management and applicant management software (https://www.personio.de/impressum/). Personio GmbH is our processor in this context according to Art. 28 GDPR. The basis for processing is a processing agreement between us as the responsible entity and Personio. - Rights of Data Subjects
If personal data is processed by us as the responsible entity, you, as the data subject, have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and purpose of the processing, particularly the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), and the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR).

Access logs (“server logs”)
Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual.
Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG.
Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web.
These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.
Error logs
So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG.
When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected.
These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.
Use of cookies
So-called cookies are used on parts of this recruitment website. They are small text files which are stored on the device with which you access this recruitment website. As a general rule, cookies serve the purpose of ensuring secure access to a website (“absolutely necessary”), implementing certain functionalities such as standard-language settings (“functional”), improving the user experience or the performance of the website (“performance”), or placing targeted advertisements (“marketing”).
On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR).
Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session
Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.
Rights of data subjects
If Personio SE & Co. KG as the controller processes personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object (article 21 of the GDPR). If the personal data is processed with your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent under article 7 III of the GDPR.
