  • all other data you indicate in the course of the application (in application questionnaires, interviews etc.),
  • special categories of personal data which you have voluntarily provided

3.2 What do we process your data for (purpose of processing) and on what legal basis? 

In the text which follows, we will inform you of the purpose for which we process your data and the legal basis for doing so.

3.2.1. For performance of contractual obligations and pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) 

We process your data to perform contractual obligations and to take steps prior to entering into a contract with you, i.e. in particular 
  • for internal processing of your application
  • for implementing the application process
  • for corresponding with you
  • for implementing or terminating an employment relationship
  • for exercising or fulfilling rights and obligations arising from law or a collective agreement, works agreement or employment agreement
  • for settling any liability claims which may exist and for asserting any claims against you.

3.2.2 Processing based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) 

In principle, we will erase your data no later than 6 months after the end of the application process, provided there are no other reasons for retaining the data, see sec. 5. If you have given us your consent to process your personal data in connection with an “applicant pool”, we will erase those data no later than three years after the data are provided to us. The purpose of such “applicant pools” is to enable us to consider you for future vacancies.


You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. The foregoing also applies to declarations of consent you have given to us prior to the applicability of the GDPR, i.e. prior to 25 May 2018. We hereby inform you that withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to its withdrawal.

3.2.3. Processing due to legal requirements (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) 

We are subject to various legal obligations, such as statutory commercial retention and documentation obligations (under the German Commercial Code, the German Criminal Code or the German Tax Code).


3.2.4. Processing of special categories of personal data (Art. 9 (2) (GDPR)


We process the special categories of personal data you have provided to us if you have given us your consent pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (a) of the GDPR, or if processing is necessary to enable us to honour your rights under employment and social security and social protection law and to fulfil our obligations in this respect.


4. Disclosure of data to third parties and processors 


The passing on of personal data is also deemed ‘processing’ within the meaning of the foregoing sec. 3.2., but we do wish to inform you again separately here regarding the issue of disclosure of your personal data to third parties. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we are particularly careful when it comes to passing on your data to third parties.


A transfer of your personal data to third parties will usually be for the following purposes:


  • Processors with whom we have concluded an agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR
  • Accounting (e.g. tax advisors)
  • Legal disputes (e.g. lawyers)
  • Communications platforms (e.g. e-mail, WhatsApp, other messenger services)

5. Erasure


Your personal data will be erased by us when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, where processing is no longer necessary for the exercise of the right of freedom of expression and information, for performance of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for asserting, exercising or defending against legal claims.

 

6. Rights of the Data Subject 


You have the following rights:


• pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent to us at any time. As a result, we will not be able to process the data based on that consent in future;

• pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data where the accuracy of the data is contested by you, the processing is unlawful but you oppose the erasure of the data and we no longer need the data, but they are required by you to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims or where you have lodged an objection to processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR;


• pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that they be transferred to another Controller and


• you have the right to register a complaint with a supervisory authority under Art. 77 GDPR. As a rule, you may contact the supervisory authority located at your usual domicile or workplace.

Processing of (personal) data by the operator of the recruitment website

General information

This recruitment website is operated by Personio SE & Co. KG, which offers a human resource and candidate management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. The sole controller of this data within the meaning of article 24 of the GDPR is the enterprise carrying out this online application process. Personio’s role is limited to operating the software and this recruitment website and, in this context, being a processor under article 28 of the GDPR. In this case, the processing by Personio is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between the controller and Personio. In addition, Personio SE & Co. KG processes further data, some of which may be personal data, to provide its services, in particular for operating this recruitment website. We will refer to this in more detail below.

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Use of cookies

So-called cookies are used on parts of this recruitment website. They are small text files which are stored on the device with which you access this recruitment website. As a general rule, cookies serve the purpose of ensuring secure access to a website (“absolutely necessary”), implementing certain functionalities such as standard-language settings (“functional”), improving the user experience or the performance of the website (“performance”), or placing targeted advertisements (“marketing”). On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR). Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.
