If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted three months after the notification of the decision about the rejection, in so far as no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, e.g., a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act.
