Personal data collected as part of the application process
Personal data means any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual, such as you. This includes information, for example, your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, your user name, an IP address relating to you, but also personal data relating to your specific career (etc) by reference to which a specific individual can be identified with. However, information which cannot be indirectly or directly associated with your identity is not personal data.
Fundamentals and purposes of processing personal data collected from application documents and during the application process
If you apply to us electronically, i.e. via e-mail or using our online form, we will collect and process your personal data for the purpose of executing the application process and preparing employment related contracts and informing those who were not selected.
By submitting an application via our recruitment website, you express your interest in taking up an employment position with us. In this context, you transfer personal data, which we will process exclusively for the purpose of your job application process.
The following personal data is processed during this process:

name (first and last names)
e-mail address
home address
date of birth
phone number
all your LinkedIn profile public data if you agree to share access to your LinkedIn profile (such as your education, your work experience, your place of residence, your performance of work and evaluations of the same, your skills, matters of your interest in your professional career)
channel through which you found us (such as our own website)
cookies on our website
IP addresses from which you access our website and our job application system (online form)
your user name on our job application system (online form)
Only our authorized HR staff and/or staff involved in the application process have access to your personal data.
The personal data is stored exclusively for the purposes of filling the vacancy for which you have applied and thereto related purposes stipulated in the law (such as taking care of information security).
Sources of your personal data that we use are yourself as you submit information and data to us and your LinkedIn profile upon your consent.
Your personal data will be stored for two years immediately after an applicant has been elected for the open position. This is done based on our legitimate interest defending ourselves against possible claims until the processing time has ended. After this period, we delete your personal data.
If you consent to it electronically, we reserve the right to process your personal data for 365 days after after an applicant has been elected for the open position for the purposes of adding your personal data to our talent pool in order to identify any other open vacancies that may be of interest to you. Your personal data will be retained in the talent pool until you withdraw your consent.
Your personal data will not be processed outside the EU.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is stated that processing of personal data is minimized in any case as mandatory law requires.

Right to restriction of processing
‘Restriction of processing’ means the marking of the personal data with the aim of limiting its use in the future.
If you request, we must restrict the processing in the following situations:

(b) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
(c) we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
(d) you have objected to the processing, but verification whether the legitimate grounds of us override those of you is still ongoing.
In the situations listed above, we can only process the personal data:
(a) with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
(b) for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person;
(c) for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a European Union Member State; and

(b) you withdraw the consent on which the processing is based and where there is no other legal ground for the processing;
(c) you object to the processing as explained above;
(d) the personal data has been processed unlawfully; or
(e) the personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in the European Union law or in a European Union Member State law to which we are subject.
However, we do not have to erase the personal data to the extent we still need to process the personal data:
(a) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(b) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by the European Union law or by a European Union Member State law to which we are subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us,
(c) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with legal requirements;
(d) or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Automated decision-making and profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. We are not using such automated decision-making or profiling.
