We process data that you provide to us when you apply for an advertised position or send us an unsolicited application (personal data, contact details, education data, data on your professional career to date, cover letter, CV, portrait photo, certificates). We need this data in order to carry out your application process.

Legal basis of the processing

Data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship - Section 26 BDSG

Your personal data will be processed for the purposes of personnel selection to fill vacancies, i.e. to initiate an employment contract. The necessity and scope of the data collection depend, among other things, on the position to be filled. If your desired position involves the performance of particularly confidential tasks, increased personnel and/or financial responsibility, or is linked to certain physical and health requirements, more extensive data collection may be necessary. The legal basis for this is Section 26 (1) of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

Consent - 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, § 26 para. 2 BDSG

If you have given us your voluntary consent to the processing of certain personal data, this consent forms the legal basis for the processing of this data.

If we base data processing on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. If possible, please send your revocation by e-mail to bewerbung@fairplaid.com. The legality of the processing of your data up to the time of revocation remains unaffected.

Data processing on the basis of legitimate interest - 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

In certain cases, we process your data to protect a legitimate interest of ours or of third parties, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms prevail. A legitimate interest exists, for example, if your data is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims in the context of the application process (e.g. claims under the General Equal Treatment Act). In the event of a legal dispute, we have a legitimate interest in processing the data for evidence purposes.

Recipients of the personal data

Your data will only be passed on to the employees responsible for the application process in the HR department, as well as to the employees of the respective specialist departments, insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of the employment relationship. Your data will not be transferred to countries outside the European Union / European Economic Area.

Storage duration

We only store your data for as long as we need it for the application process. If you have not given your consent to the further processing of your data (e.g. for the applicant pool), your application data will be stored for six months after completion of the application process for an advertised position and then deleted.

If no employment relationship is established, but you have given us your consent for the further storage of your data, we will store your data until you withdraw your consent, but for a maximum of 24 months.

Automated decision-making; profiling

Your personal data will not be used for automated decision-making or profiling.

Your rights as a data subject

You can request information about whether we have stored personal data about you. If you wish, we will tell you what data is involved, the purposes for which the data is processed, to whom this data is disclosed, how long the data is stored and what other rights you have in relation to this data.

In addition, you have the right to rectification or erasure of your data. You may also request that we provide all personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format either to you or to a person or company of your choice.

As part of the application process, we do not use any automated processing, including profiling, for decision-making.

You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) of Article 6(1) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) or point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR (data processing for the purposes of a legitimate interest), including profiling based on those provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, you can contact us by email at bewerbung@fairplaid.com. We will process your requests promptly and in accordance with the legal requirements and inform you of the measures we have taken or will take.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the review.
If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

5th Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

No data is passed on to third parties in connection with data processing for the sending of newsletters except for sending purposes. The data is transmitted to the service provider Brevo GmbH (formerly: Sendinblue) for dispatch purposes. An order data processing contract has been concluded with the service provider. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
