The legal basis for data processing as part of a selection procedure to justify employment as a civil servant with “Beamte” status or as a regular employee is article 6 para. 1 lit. e in conjunction with (3) GDPR (the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation) in conjunction with § 15 LDSG (state data privacy law) in conjunction with §§ 83 to 85 a LBG (state law on “Beamte” civil servants); and as part of an admittance procedure as a guest article 6 (1) lit. c GDPR in conjunction with (3) i n conjunction with the respective EU regulation.
