Special forms of use of websites

 

1. Use of our application portals

 

(1) On our website you have the opportunity to apply online for jobs or apprenticeships offered by us. In your online application you will provide us with personal data. We attach great importance to your personal data being handled confidentially during the application process. All personal data which you entrust us with will therefore be treated in strict confidence and responsibly as a matter of course in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection regulations. We employ technical and organisational security measures to protect your data from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. When personal data is collected and processed, the information is transferred in TLS encrypted form in order to prevent any misuse of the data by third parties. The legal basis for the processing of personal data you provide us when making your application is provided by the pre-contract measures initiated by your application pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter b GDPR. If the data submitted by you for application purposes also includes highly sensitive data of special categories pursuant to Art. 9 Para. 1 GPDR, this data will be processed by us on the legal basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter a, which we have to obtain from you for this reason as clarified under Para. 3.

 

(2) If you would like to apply online for a job or an apprenticeship, you will need to input certain personal data marked as mandatory fields in the respective online application form, e.g. surname, first name and e-mail address. In order to make it easier for us to contact you, you can also input additional contact details voluntarily, in particular your landline and mobile telephone number. In order to allow us to better meet your application needs, you can also send additional data and files to us voluntarily, e.g. a personal message, information about your professional qualifications and experience and files with your application documents, such as your personal letter, your résumé, your application photo, your references etc. Please note that in particular résumés, references or other files sent by you for application purposes may also contain particularly sensitive data, such as information on your race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or political party, on your physical or mental health or on your sex life. We therefore recommend that you as far as possible do not disclose any sensitive data of special categories.

 

(3) It cannot be ruled out and in some cases it is also necessary that you provide us with data of special categories in your application as listed under Para. 2. We are prohibited by law from processing such data without your consent. Therefore your data input in the online application form and uploaded files will only be sent to us if you have declared by clicking the relevant check box that you consent to the processing of this sensitive data of special categories in accordance with this privacy policy. Without this consent you will unfortunately not be able to use our application portal.

 

(4) The data and files sent by you will be stored and used solely for purposes relating to the recording and processing of your interest in a job or apprenticeship in our company and the processing of your online application, including contacting you for this purpose. Your application will be treated as confidential and only authorised employees of the effective world Group will gain knowledge of it. If your application is successful, the data and files sent by you can be used in the employment relationship with you. If your application for a job is not successful, we will hold the data and files sent by you for 3 months in our applicant database so that we can answer any questions relating to your application. After this time the data and files will be deleted automatically. If you have given consent to be included in the company’s applicant pool, so that the data submitted by you can also be considered for other vacant positions, your data and files will be stored for 12 months in the applicant database and deleted automatically after this time.

 

(5) Your data and files submitted in the online application will not be passed onto third parties, unless you have given your express consent or we are required to by an administrative order.

 

(6) You may withdraw your application at any time in whole or in part. You can also request at any time that all or some of the data and files submitted by you are deleted from our applicant database or modified. Likewise you have the right to revoke the consent you have granted for the processing of the personal data and files submitted by you in the online application with effect for the future. For this purpose you only need to send an e-mail to career@effective-world.com. However, some data relating to your application has to be stored for a limited time of 3 months in order to meet legal requirements, in particular the obligation to provide proof under the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG). With regard to your existing rights, we refer you here to § 2 of this privacy policy.
