General Information
Thank you for visiting our website. We are delighted that you are interested in Lobster as a potential employer, and we are even more excited about the possibility of welcoming you to our team soon. The protection of personal data from applicants, employees, and all associated third parties is particularly important to us. Therefore, we adhere to relevant legal data protection and data security regulations, as well as our internal data protection policies when processing personal data.
We are providing you with this privacy policy, which specifically relates to the data collected during the online application process, to inform you about how we handle your personal data collected during the application process.

Lobster Holding GmbH

Bräuhausstr. 1, 82327 Tutzing
Email: information@lobster.de
Registered in the commercial register
Registration number: 282927

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.

Transfer of Data to Third Parties
The data transmitted as part of your application is transferred via TLS encryption and stored in a database. 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). If the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this data protection consent under Art. 7(3) GDPR. To exercise your rights as a data subject, a letter sent by post to the address mentioned in Section 2 or an email to our data protection officer (see Section 2) is sufficient.
Final Provisions
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time to ensure that it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes in the application process or similar. For a future visit to this recruiting page or a new application, the new privacy policy will apply.
In addition to this privacy policy, you can view our general privacy policy at https://www.lobster-world.com/de/datenschutz/.
