Privacy policy for applications

Privacy policy for applications

The Group uses an applicant portal on its website for the application process. The applicant portal is used by all companies in the Group.

If you do not submit your application via the applicant portal, but in paper form or by e-mail attachment, we would like to point out that we transfer the data to our applicant portal.

A) Data protection information on the application process

1 description and scope of data processing

If you would like to apply online for an advertised position at ATH Altonaer-Technologie-Holding GmbH, we need some information about you. As part of the online application, all data collected during the application process will therefore be processed (salutation, title if applicable, first name, surname, street and house number, postcode and town, country, date of birth, place of birth, e-mail address, telephone/mobile number, period of notice and salary expectations).
In addition, we collect and process the data contained in the attachments (letter of application, CV, certificates, qualifications, application photo, etc.).

You may supplement or update the personal data you have provided to us during the course of the applicant selection process.
All data is collected and processed electronically by us for the purpose of handling the application process.
When you visit our website, your web browser automatically transmits technical information to us. This includes, for example, information about the browser you are using, information about the operating system, the time and date of your visit and, if applicable, the reference URL. This information is used exclusively for statistical purposes and to customise the design of our website. You as a user remain anonymous. It is not possible for us to combine this data with data from your online application. We do not require any information from you that is not usable under the General Equal Treatment Act (e.g. race, ethnic origin, religion or ideology, age, sexual identity). We also ask you not to provide any information on pregnancy, political views, philosophical or religious convictions or trade union membership. The same applies to content that is likely to infringe the rights of third parties (e.g. copyrights, press law or general third-party rights).

2 Purposes and legal bases of data collection, storage, processing or use

The purpose of processing your data is to carry out the application process in accordance with legal requirements.
The personal data collected at the beginning or in the course of the applicant selection process is required

  • to be able to identify you as an applicant,
  • for correspondence with you,
  • to decide on the establishment of the employment relationship,
  • to fulfil the rights and obligations of the representative body (works council, equal opportunities officer, representative body for severely disabled employees) arising from the law, collective agreements and works agreements.

We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship with us. The legal basis for this is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG-new and, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the initiation or execution of contractual relationships.

Furthermore, we may process your personal data if this is necessary for the fulfilment of legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or for the defence of legal claims asserted against us. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). If you give us your express consent to process personal data for specific purposes, the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Any consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are voluntarily communicated as part of the application process, their processing is also carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, their processing is also carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b) GDPR (e.g. health data if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession).

If there is an employment relationship between you and us, we may, in accordance with Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG-new, further process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship, insofar as this is necessary for the performance or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfilment of the rights and obligations of the representation of employees' interests arising from a law or a collective agreement, a works or service agreement (collective agreement).

3 recipients of your data or categories of recipients- Internal departments that are involved in the application process and review your application.

  • External contractors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR (processing or use of personal data on behalf of third parties).The processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is coveto ATS GmbH, based in Nidda.
  • A transfer of data to third countries is not planned.

4 Storage and deletion of data

We store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the decision on your application. Your personal data or application documents will be deleted a maximum of six months after the end of the application process (e.g. the announcement of the rejection decision), unless longer storage is legally required or permitted. We only store your personal data beyond this if this is required by law or in a specific case for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute.

In the event that you have consented to your personal data being stored for a longer period, we will store it in accordance with your declaration of consent. If the application procedure is followed by an employment relationship, training relationship or internship relationship, your data will, if necessary and permissible, initially continue to be stored and then transferred to the personnel file.

We destroy paper applications after they have been transferred to the applicant portal; we delete email applications immediately after they have been transferred.

5 Possibility of objection and removal

If data is processed on the basis of your consent, you are entitled to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 7 GDPR. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected. Please also note that we may have to retain certain data for a certain period of time in order to fulfil legal requirements (see section 3).Insofar as your personal data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing of this data at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation.We will then no longer process this personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. These must outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing must serve the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
