5. Transfers of your personal data to countries outside the EEA

In specific situations we might also ask for your explicit consent to the transfer (Art. 49 GDPR).

You may also receive an overview of third country recipients and a copy of the appropriate or suitable safeguards in place. Please use the details provided in the section Who controls the processing of your personal data to request such data.

We keep your personal data for the following periods of time:

If your application is successful, we will keep your data for the duration of your employment with us plus 2 years from the end of our employment relationship or plus any period we are required by statute or contractual obligation to keep the data.
