Processing of (personal) data by the entity in charge of the online application process

1. Data Protection at a Glance

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

1.1 General Information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Detailed information on individual topics can be found in the privacy policy below.

2. How and for What Purpose Do We Collect Your Data?

Your data are collected, on the one hand, when you provide them to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter in a registration form or contact form.

Other data are collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Hostname of the accessing computer

  • Time of the server request

  • IP address

These data are generally not merged with other data sources. The collection of these data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

2.1.1 Contact

If you contact us (e.g., by post or printed media, email, contact forms, electronic text messages, chat, telephone, personal contact, etc.), the personal data you transmit will be stored by us. We process these data to handle your request. We will not pass these data on without your consent. The processing of the aforementioned personal data is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.

The data you transmit to us when contacting us will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

2.1.2 Analysis Tools and Third-Party Tools

When visiting our website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done using cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is generally anonymous; the surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information can be found in the following privacy policy.

You may object to this analysis. We will inform you about the objection options below in this privacy policy.

3. Hosting and Data Processing Agreement

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website are stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses, and other data generated via a website.

The hoster is used for the purpose of secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Our hoster will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and will follow our instructions regarding these data. To ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded a data processing agreement with our hoster.

4. SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as personal data you send to us, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

5. Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. Cookies are text files that a website provider stores on the user’s computer and retrieves when the website is revisited in order to facilitate internet navigation, transactions, or obtain information about user behavior.

Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication or for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Other cookies (e.g., for analyzing your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

General Information on Withdrawal and Objection (Opt-Out)

Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to withdraw consent or object to the processing of your data via cookie technologies (collectively referred to as “opt-out”).

You can initially declare your objection via your browser settings, for example by disabling the use of cookies (which may restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via various services, particularly in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Further objection information may be found in the details regarding the service providers and cookies used.

You can also prevent the collection and processing of your data by disabling the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker (e.g., at www.noscript.net or www.ghostery.com).

6. Plugins and Tools

Plugins are small add-on programs that extend the functions of web applications. When a plugin is installed, the respective website or software typically gains a new function that it did not previously have. A key advantage of plugins is that they allow programs and applications to be enhanced with new features without significantly increasing the size of the main application or modifying its source code. The program code with the new features is outsourced to the plugin – uninstalling the extension automatically restores the original state.

7. Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), also known as Content Distribution Networks, are networks of regionally distributed and internet-connected servers used to deliver content – particularly large media files. CDNs work together to serve requests from end users for content as efficiently as possible. In the background, data are stored within the network so that delivery is either as fast as possible (performance optimization), uses as little bandwidth as possible (cost optimization), or both.

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.

Rights of data subjects

If Personio SE & Co. KG as the controller processes personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object (article 21 of the GDPR). If the personal data is processed with your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent under article 7 III of the GDPR. To assert your rights as a data subject in relation to the data processed for the purpose of operating this recruitment website, please refer to Personio SE & Co.

Concluding provisions

Personio reserves the right to adjust this data privacy statement at any point in time to ensure that it is in line with the current legal requirements at all times, or in order to accommodate changes in the services offered, for example when new services are introduced. In this case, the new data privacy statement applies to any later visit of this recruitment website or any later job application.
