Processing of personal data for recruiting purposes

The protection of your personal data is important to us. Below we would like to inform your how we collect and process your personal data for recruiting purposes:

Data controller:
Dataconomy Media GmbH (hereinafter “Dataconomy”), Zossener Straße 8, 10961 Berlin, Germany acts as the so called data controller and is responsible for data collection and processing.

The data, that we require is as follows:
To be able to properly carry out a recruiting and assessment process we process your data that we need as part of the application. This can be contact details, all data related to the application (curriculum vitae, certificates, qualifications, answers to questions, academic qualifications, references etc.). The legal basis for this is based on Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act.

We do not require any information from you of the kind which is not suitable according to the General Equal Treatment Act such as gender, ethnicity, religion, family planning or age. Information you pass to us without having been requested to do so will be processed by us if such processing is necessary to preserve your application, in particular if it’s incorporated in the CV

Data deletion:
If no legal retention period exists, the data will be deleted as soon as storage is no longer required or the legitimate interest in storage of this data has lapsed. If you have not been hired, this will usually be the case no later than six months after completion of the application process. If you have not been hired but your application is still of interest to us, we will ask you whether we may keep your application on file for future open positions also beyond the six-month limit.

Confidential handling of your data:
Your data will of course be handled confidentially solely by persons affiliated with Dataconomy either as employees or freelancers who are all obligated to observe confidentiality and will only be transmitted to third parties when this is necessary for the further processing of your application. This typically is in case Dataconomy acts as a recruitment or placement agent to support partners of Dataconomy with hiring.

We do not intent to transmit your data to a country outside of the European Union unless a potential partner which Dataconomy supports with recruiting is located outside of the European Union or is processing their data outside of the European Union and such passing of data is necessary for the further processing of your application.

In case of data transfers to third countries, we inform you that companies in such countries are subject to a data protection law that does not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union. If your data is processed in a country that does not have a recognised high level of data protection like the European Union, Dataconomy should take adequate protective measures such as contractual regulations to ensure your data is adequately protected.

Your rights as the data subject are as follows:
As an affected party, you have the right to obtain information about your personal data and to have incorrect data corrected or deleted if one of the reasons stated in Art. 17 GDPR applies, for example if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued. Furthermore, there is a right to limitation of processing if one of the prerequisites stated in Art. 18 GDPR applies and the right to data transferability in the cases described in Art. 20 GDPR.

Any affected party has the right of appeal to a supervisory authority if he or she considers that the processing of his or her data is in violation of data protection laws. The right of appeal may be exercised in particular before a supervisory authority in the member state of residence or place of employment of the affected person or the place of alleged violation.
