Location of your personal data
Personal data are processed exclusively within the EU; they are not transferred to third countries.
How long we store personal data
Your personal data are only stored for a restricted period of time, they will be erased when they are no longer necessary for the purposes of their processing given in this statement. This means that we store your data for the duration of the selection procedure. We will erase them 6 months after selecting a suitable candidate.
If you are chosen to fill a job position, we will continue storing your personal data in your personal file according to the respective organisational guideline.
We may also process your personal data for a longer period of time if you provided us with your consent for the processing of your personal data.
What are your rights?
Even if we do not need your consent for the processing of your personal data, we want you to be informed thereof and to understand that we process them and how we process them.
Right of access
You may request information about how we process your personal data, including the following information:
• why we process your personal data;
• what categories of personal data we process;
• who we share your personal data with;
• how long we store your personal data for and what the criteria for determining such period are;
• what rights you have;
• where we collect your personal data from (if not collected from you);
• whether the processing includes automated decision-making (so-called profiling);
• whether your personal data were transferred to a country outside the EEA, and how we ensure protection of your personal data.
Right to object to processing
If you think that we have no right to process your personal data, you can object to our processing.
In such cases we can only continue the processing if we can demonstrate convincing justified reasons that will outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms.
However, we can process your personal data where this is necessary to determine, exercise or defend our legal claims.
Right to rectification or change
It is important that we have correct information about you, which is why we ask you to notify us if any of your personal data is incorrect, for example if you changed your name or moved.
Right to data portability
You can request that your personal data which you provided to us for processing based on your consent, or to perform a contract, be provided to you by us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have also the right to request that we transfer this information to another controller.
Right to restriction of processing
From the moment you ask us to rectify your personal data or object to their processing, and until the moment we are able to examine the issue or confirm the accuracy of your personal data (or to change them according to your instructions), you are entitled to restricted processing. This means that we can only process your personal data (except for storing personal data) in accordance with your consent, where this is necessary in relation to legal claims, for the protection of rights of another person, or where there is a significant public interest in the processing.
You can also ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data if such processing is illegal but you do not wish to have your personal data erased by us.
Right to withdraw consent
When we request your consent for the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw this consent for further processing of your personal data at any time.
At our company, you can exercise your rights for free. However, a request submitted repeatedly may be charged.
Moreover, we will inform other parties to which we may have provided your personal data about your request(s).
Right to be forgotten or right to erasure
If we process your personal data in an illegal manner, for example if we process your personal data longer than necessary, or for no reason, you may ask us to erase these data.
