Information according to Art. 13 General Data Protection Ordinance for Applicants
The compliance with data protection regulations has a high priority for our company. We would like to inform you about the collection of your personal data with us below:

Responsible body:
Data collection and processing is the responsibility of the company you applied to.

Data we need:
When applying, we process data from you that we need in the context of the application. This can be contact details, all data related to the application (CV, certificates, qualifications, answers to questions, etc.) as well as bank account details (to reimburse travel costs). The legal basis for this arises from § 26 Federal Data Protection Act (BDGS), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. .

Data transfers to third countries:

Our company is part of an international agency network that has personnel responsibilities across departmental, corporate and national boundaries. That's why competent supervisors in the UK and US can access your applicant data. This data processing is required by § 26 BDSG to decide on the creation of an employment relationship.

The level of protection for data transfers to the USA is to be regarded as equivalent on the basis of an adequacy decision of the EU ("EU-US DPF") pursuant to Article 45 (3) of the GDPR. If service providers are not subject to the adequacy decision, the data transfers to the USA are secured by concluding European standard contractual clauses (SCCs) and further technical and organisational measures.

Data deletion:
If no statutory retention period exists, the data will be deleted as soon as storage is no longer required or the legitimate interest in storage has expired. If not hired, this will be the case at least six months after completing the application process.

In individual cases, it may lead to a longer storage of individual data (e.g. travel expenses). The duration of storage then depends on the statutory storage obligations, for example, from the Tax Code (6 years) or the Commercial Code (10 years).
If there has not been a recruitment, but your application continues to be interesting for us, we ask you, if we may keep your application for future appointments.

Confidential treatment of your data:
Of course, we treat your data confidentially and do not transmit it to third parties.

If necessary, we use strictly instruction-bound service providers, who provide us with e.g., in the areas of IT or the archiving and destruction of documents and with which separate contracts for order processing have been concluded.

Your privacy rights:
As the data subject, you have the right to obtain information about personal data concerning you, as well as the correction of incorrect data or cancellation, provided that one of the reasons stated in Art. 17 GDPR exists, e.g. if the data is no longer needed for the purposes pursued. There is also the right to restrict processing if one of the conditions set out in Art. 18 GDPR exists and, in the case of Art. 20 GDPR, the right to data portability.

Each data subject has the right to complain to a supervisory authority if it considers that the processing of the data concerning them is contrary to data protection provisions. In particular, the right of appeal may be invoked by a supervisory authority in the Member State of the residence or the workplace of the person concerned or the place of the alleged infringement.

Our data protection officer:
You also have the right to contact our data protection officer at any time, who is obliged to maintain secrecy regarding your request. You will find the contact details of our data protection officer in section 5 above.

Our internal whistleblowing system gives employees, suppliers and business partners the opportunity to point out grievances without having to come forward themselves. This concerns in particular the following issues within the company:

• Crimes or misconduct.
• Serious and flagrant violations of applicable law and/or international agreements.
• Serious threats or endangerments to the public interest of which the whistleblowers have personal knowledge.
• Breach of any code of conduct or policy of the Company.
• Dangers to the health of employees.

You do not have to provide any personal data about yourself. However, depending on the content of your contribution, your report may contain personal data of third parties.

You can remain anonymous if you do not disclose any personal data about yourself.
 

Legal basis for the processing
The processing of the data serves the fulfilment of a legal obligation, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO, which follows from the so-called Whistleblower Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report infringements of Union law) and national laws of the EU Member States based on this. The data processing is also carried out in the legitimate interest of the company to be informed about unlawful and reportable events and to be able to clarify them internally, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
The reports are checked and answered within the legally specified deadlines. The deletion of the data takes place no later than 3 years after the conclusion of the proceedings, provided that there are no retention obligations as a result of any subsequent legal proceedings.

Data recipient
The data collected is forwarded to persons in the company responsible for processing reports and may also be made available to other third parties (lawyers, experts and auditors) for analysis and investigation purposes. If necessary, authorities and courts may also be involved. 

The management receives an annual summary report on the number and type of reports for inclusion in the report pursuant to the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act. CONFDNT ensures that the protection of the person making the report is guaranteed.

In addition, your data is transferred to the service company CONFDNT, which supports the operation of the website and the associated processes, within the scope of order processing pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO. The service company works strictly according to instructions and has been contractually obligated accordingly.

Transfer of data to countries outside the European Union

Prior to the transfer of personal data, all measures necessary to ensure that the level of protection of natural persons guaranteed by the GDPR is not undermined shall be taken.
