4. For what purposes do we process your data and on what legal basis?

a) Data processing for employment relationship purposes - § 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)

Your personal data will be processed for personnel selection purposes to fill vacancies, i.e. to initiate an employment contract. The necessity and scope of the data collection are assessed, among other things, according to the position to be filled. If your desired position involves the performance of particularly confidential tasks, increased personnel and/or financial responsibility, or is linked to certain physical and health requirements, more extensive data collection may be necessary. The legal basis is § 26 para. 1 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

b) Consent - Art. 6 para.1 lit. a and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, § 26 para. 2 BDSG

If you have given us your voluntary consent to the processing of certain personal data, then this consent forms the legal basis for the processing of this data.
If we base data processing on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. If possible, please send the revocation by e-mail to datenschutzbeauftragter@vioma.de. The lawfulness of the processing of your data up to the time of the revocation remains unaffected.

c) Data processing based on legitimate interest - 6 para.1 lit. f GDPR

In certain cases, we process your data to protect a legitimate interest of us or of third parties. A legitimate interest exists, for example, if your data is required for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims in the context of the application process (e.g. claims under the General Equal Treatment Act). In the event of a legal dispute, we have a legitimate interest in processing the data for evidence purposes.

5. To whom is your data disclosed?

Your data is mainly processed  by our HR department. However, in some cases other internal and external bodies  are also involved in the processing of your data. Internal bodies may be the  management assistants or departments and teams of our company.

As an external service  provider, we use Personio GmbH & Co. KG, Rundfunkplatz 4, 80335 Munich  (hereinafter "Personio"). Personio processes personal  data within the scope of these activities only on behalf of and for the  purposes of vioma and is therefore a so-called data processor within the  meaning of Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR.

More information about the  handling of user data at Personio can be found in Personio's data protection  policy: https://www.personio.de/datenschutz/

6. How long will your data be stored?

(1) We store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the decision on your application. Insofar as an employment relationship between you and us does not come about, we may continue to store data beyond this, insofar as this is necessary for the defense against possible legal claims. As a rule, your data will be deleted or made anonymous within 6 months of the end of the application process. In this case, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (for example, proportion of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).
​(2) If you withdraw your  application before the end of the application process, the stored data will be  disabled for the period of the application process that is still ongoing and  finally deleted or anonymized after 6 months after the end of the application  process.
​(3) You may submit a request  for deletion or have the processing of your data restricted.

7. What rights do you have in connection with the processing of your data?

(1) You can request  information about whether we are processing your personal data. If you wish, we  will tell you what the data is, for what purposes the data is processed, to  whom this data is disclosed, how long the data is stored and what other rights  you have in relation to this data.
​(2) In addition, you have the right to have your data  corrected or deleted. You may also request that we provide all personal data in  a structured, common and machine-readable format either to you or to a person  or company of your choice.
(3) You also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you. In the context of the application process, we do not use exclusively automated processing for decision-making.
(4) You also have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR (data processing in the public interest) or on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (data processing for the purposes of safeguarding a legitimate interest); this also applies to profiling based on this provision. In the event of your objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
(5) In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.
(6) To exercise your rights, you can contact us by e-mail at datenschutzbeauftragter@vioma.de. We will process your requests promptly and in accordance with the legal requirements and inform you of the measures we have taken or will take.

8. Is there an obligation to provide your personal  data?

The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor are you obliged to provide the personal data. However, the provision of personal data is necessary for the implementation of the application process. This means that if you do not provide us with personal data when applying, we will not be able to carry out the application process.

Processing of (personal) data by the operator of the recruitment website

General information

This recruitment website is operated by Personio SE & Co. KG, which offers a human resource and candidate management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. The sole controller of this data within the meaning of article 24 of the GDPR is the enterprise carrying out this online application process. Personio’s role is limited to operating the software and this recruitment website and, in this context, being a processor under article 28 of the GDPR. In this case, the processing by Personio is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between the controller and Personio. In addition, Personio SE & Co.

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR). Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.
