The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), according to which "the processing is lawful if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject (affected person) which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child". Our legitimate interest results from the data collection purposes listed above. In no event will we use the collected data for drawing conclusions relating to your person.

Moreover, when you visit our website, we use cookies as well as analyzer services. For more information in this context, please consult sections 4 and 5 of this Data Protection Policy.

2.2 When subscribing to our newsletter

If you gave your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR to the sending of our newsletter per email with information on current news, important developments of the law or other contents of relevance for you or your company, as well as information about or invitations to events/fairs etc., we will use your email address to send you our newsletter on a regular basis.

We use "CleverReach", a service of CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, CRASH Building, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter referred to as "CleverReach") to send our newsletter. For this purpose, the data provided by you when registering for the newsletter will be passed on to CleverReach. CleverReach uses this data to send and statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. The newsletter emails contain tracking pixels for this purpose. These are one-pixel-sized image files that are stored on our websites. This allows us to track your user behavior, in particular whether you have opened the newsletter e-mail or which hyperlinks in the e-mail you have clicked on. In addition, technical information such as the time of the retrieval, your IP address, data on your web browser and operating system are recorded. This data is collected exclusively pseudonymously. The data is not linked to other personal data. A direct reference to a person is therefore excluded.

We use CleverReach on the basis of your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO. We also use CleverReach for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to analyze the use of our newsletter and to continuously improve individual functions and offers as well as the user experience for you.

The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

You can revoke your consent at any time. You can also object to the above processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter.

In order to oblige CleverReach to process the transmitted data only in accordance with our instructions and to comply with the applicable data protection regulations, we have concluded an order processing agreement with CleverReach.

You can find more information about Cleverreach's data protection at https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

 

2.3 When using our email address for applications (bewerbung@snp-online.de)

We process the applicant data only for the purpose of the application procedure in conformity with the legal regulations. The processing of the applicant data is made in compliance with our (pre) contractual obligations in the context of the application procedure as defined in Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR, if data processing becomes necessary e.g. as part of legal proceedings (sec. 26 BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act) is applicable additionally).

The application procedure requires that the applicants transfer the applicant data to us. Where we use an online form, the required applicant data are marked or result otherwise from the job descriptions and basically include the personal data of the individual, mail and contact addresses and the documents relating to the application such as cover letter, curriculum vitae and the references/testimonials. In addition, applicants may provide additional information to us on a voluntary basis.

In transferring the application to us, the applicants declare their agreement to the processing of their data for purposes of the application procedure in accordance with the type and scope set out in this Data Protection Policy.

If in the context of the application procedure special categories of personal data as defined in Art. 9 (1) GDPR are communicated on a voluntary basis, their processing will be made additionally in accordance with Art. 9 (2) b) GDPR (e.g. health data such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin). If in the context of the application procedure special categories of personal data as defined in Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants, their processing will be made additionally in accordance with Art. 9 (2) a) GDPR (e.g. health data, if required for exercising the occupation).

If provided, applicants may transfer their applications to us by way of an online form on our website. The data will be transferred to us in an encrypted condition in accordance with the state of the art. 

Moreover, applicants may send us their applications via email. In this connection, however, the applicants should note that emails are not encrypted when sent in principle and the applicants themselves have to ensure the encryption. Therefore, we cannot assume any responsibility for the transfer route of the application from the sender to the receipt on our server and we recommend rather using the online form or mail. As an alternative to the application via the online form and email, the option of sending us the application by mail is still available to the applicants.

In the event of successful application, we may continue processing the data provided by the applicants for the purposes of the employment. If on the other hand the application for a job is not successful, the data of the applicants are erased. The data of the applicants are also erased if an application is withdrawn, which the applicants have the right to do at any time.

Unless in case of a justified revocation by the applicants, erasure is made after the lapse of a period of six months from the date of filling the position to enable us to answer possible follow-up questions regarding the application or to comply with our duty to furnish evidence under the German Equal Treatment Act (Gleichbehandlungsgesetz).

Invoices on the reimbursement of travelling expenses, if any, shall be archived in accordance with tax law requirements.

Provided that the inclusion of the application in the talent pool has been approved, the applicant data will be processed for a maximum period of eighteen months after the receipt of application and then deleted.

3. Transfer of Data

No transfer of your personal data to third parties will take place for purposes other than as listed below.

  • you gave your express consent in this respect pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR;

You can recognize whether an individual page of our website is transferred in an encrypted condition if the key or closed lock symbol is displayed on the lower status bar of your browser.

Apart from that, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or third-party access. We improve our security measures on a continuous basis in accordance with the technological development.
