Germany should establish a clear model of purpose, legal basis, retention period, and recipient scope for applicant data. Applicant account: manage talent pool consent separately from standard application. Employer view: only release necessary applicant data on a role-based basis. Caution: a single global consent checkbox is insufficient for complex reuse scenarios. (Evidence: GDPR General Data Protection Regula, BDSG §26 Beschaeftigtendaten)
