This is necessary to provide you the information you have requested when accessing our website. The following data are transmitted:

  1. Personal data such as your name and address;

  4. Other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for the data processing is Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for which we collect data and which are indicated above. Under no circumstances will we use the data collected to draw conclusions about your identity.

We also deploy cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. To find out more about it, please check Article 4 and 5 of this Data Protection Statement.

In case you have any questions, we offer you the possibility to contact us via a contact form provided on our website. To use this contact form, you need to indicate your valid email address. We need this in order to know who is contacting us and to whom we can give the answer. Any other information you provide here is voluntary.

The data processing for contacting purposes is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation on the basis of your freely given consent.

The personal data we collect when you use this contact form will be deleted automatically once your request is completed.

2.3 When transferring applicant data

When you transmit your data to us in the course of an application process, we collect these data on the basis of Article 26(1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We may also get access to these data through third parties such as job portals or employment agencies.

The categories of employee data that are processed include in particular without limitation the following:  contact data, address data, citizenship, communication data, CV, image data, qualification certificates, diplomas and references.

If, in your application letter or in the course of application process, you have voluntarily provided personal information of such categories as health data, religious affiliation, degree of disability, the processing of these data will take place only with your consent.

In the course of an application process, your personal data is processed primarily for carrying out application procedures, in particular to assess the suitability of an applicant for the offered position. The processing of your application data is necessary to enable us to take decision about potential employment relationship. For this, the prevailing legal basis is Article 88 of the General Data Protection Regulation in conjunction with Article 26(1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act.

The personal applicant data transmitted to us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for the purposes indicated above, but after 6 months at the latest. This shall not apply if you gave your consent to a longer storage period which is needed for evidence purposes or if statutory provisions prevent deletion of such data. For example, we keep your application data for as long as the possibility exists that you may pursuit legal claims against FSR Trade GmbH e.g. for breach of General Law on equal treatment (AGG). 

In the case you application leads to establishing an employment relationship with us, we will continue to keep and use your data for the general administrative and organisational purposes as well as for carrying out this employment relationship pursuant to the existing legal provisions.

In the course of data processing by FSR Trade GmbH, any applicant and employee, as well as any other data subject, shall have the rights as stipulated in Articles 15 to 22 of the General Data Protection Regulation. To find out more about it, please check Article 8 on the rights of the data subject.

  2. If this is permitted by law and is necessary in accordance with Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation for carrying out a contractual relationship with you;
  3. If a data transfer is necessary to comply with a legal obligation in accordance with Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (c) of the General Data Protection Regulation;
  4. If a data transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims pursuant to Article 6(1) sentence 1 point (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding and legitimate interest preventing such transfer of your data.
