If you have given us your consent (e.g. for longer-term storage), the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
