Data protection is a special concern of the CANZLER & BERGMEIER Patentanwälte-Partnerschaft mbB. Our efforts, in particular the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act in its new version, are primarily aimed at respecting your privacy and personal sphere.
For modern companies such as the CANZLER & BERGMEIER Patentanwälte-Partnerschaft mbB, the use of electronic data processing systems (EDP) is indispensable today. In this case, of course, the legal regulations should be observed at the highest level.
Use of the websites of CANZLER & BERGMEIER Patentanwälte-Partnerschaft mbB is basically possible without any indication of personal data. However, if an affected person wishes to use our company's special services through our website, personal data processing may be required. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally seek the consent of the data subject.
We will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing or other purposes. If you do not agree with the terms of the privacy policy, please do not send any personal information to us.

j) Third parties
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, institution or body other than the data subject, the person responsible, the contract processor and the persons authorized under the direct responsibility of the person responsible or the contract processor to process the personal data.

The person responsible collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the job application process. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the person responsible by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a contact form on the website. If the person responsible concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transferred will be stored for the purpose of executing the employment contract in compliance with the law. If the employment contractor does not conclude an employment contract with the candidate, the application documents will be automatically deleted unless deletion precludes other legitimate interests of the person responsible. Other legitimate interest in this sense, for example, is a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The processing of the job applicant data takes place in order to fulfill our (pre-) contractual obligations in the context of the application process within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b.
