3. Categories of data, purpose of data processing and legal basis

As part of the application process, we store the personal data provided by you. This applies to applications for specifically advertised vacancies as well as speculative applications.

When you register on our careers page, you either apply for a specific job advertisement or are looking for a job with us on your own initiative. The data which we request from you will be used by Bertrandt AG across the entire Group as well as by existing and potentially interested customers exclusively for the purpose of filling vacancies.

For the purposes of processing, the data provided by you is divided into the following categories:

  • contact data (name, address, email, telephone / mobile phone number);
  • additional questions depending on the respective job advertisement (e.g. driving licence);
  • curriculum vitae (CV), in particular information on professional experience and training;
  • skills;
  • certificates, qualifications, awards and language skills;
  • files and documents made available to us via the upload function;
  • cover letter;
  • if applicable, video recording in which you answer questions on a voluntary basis and which can be played back at a later date;
  • application photo;
  • bank details (to reimburse travel expenses), if applicable;
  • referral information, if applicable (How did you hear about us?)

In addition, we create data on the assessments and evaluations undertaken as part of the application process and keep a record of the application process.

Data collection and processing in the context of the application process are based on the legal provisions of Article 6 (1) (b) and (f) of the GDPR and Section 26 (1) of the Federal Data Protection Act.

On the basis of the consent you have given in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, we will process your data for similar recruitment procedures, regardless of whether you made a speculative application or responded directly to a job advertisement during your registration.

You can view, update and delete your data at any time in your Applicant Cockpit. Please note that you are responsible for the accuracy of your data.

In addition, we will process and use your data for the purposes of advice, advertising and market research only with your express consent, which must be given separately.

4. Data transfer within the Group, data transfer to third countries

In detail, Bertrandt AG s, as well as the subsidiaries of Bertrandt AG, which are affiliated companies within the meaning of Section 18 of the German Companies Act, the following personnel have access to your data:

  • employees of the HR departments,
  • employees of the Group organisations, such as divisions, units and sales, in which a vacancy is to be filled,
  • executive personnel and potential line managers,
  • Employees in customer service who, in the context of a potential customer interest in your application documents, transmit them to the customer,
  • - Employees in administrative areas, in the context of onboarding, after a successful application, for the purpose of creating required documents and access authorisation cards,
  • and employee representatives.

In case of potentially interested customers, these may include:

  • the Recruitment Department;
  • the Purchasing Department;
  • the areas in which a vacancy is to be filled,
  • executive personnel and potential line managers, and
  • employee representatives.

The data is transferred exclusively for the purpose of the verification of your qualifications and in the context of processing current and subsequent application procedures and vacancy filling processes, as far as necessary to process the applications received.

Only such departments will receive your data that are entrusted with the preparation and implementation of the application process and staffing processes and whose involvement is necessary.

Your application is therefore not restricted to the specific position you have applied for.

You can find an overview of our affiliated companies within the meaning of Section 18 of the German Companies Act at: https://www.bertrandt.com/unternehmen/konzern/standorte/

For the technical implementation of the e-Recruiting process, we use a service provider who acts as a “processor” within the meaning of Article 28 of the GDPR. It processes personal data for these purposes and does so on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.

If a transfer of data to third countries is necessary, this can take place provided that an appropriate level of security or guarantees are in place.

5. Storage of data

Your profile is activated whenever contact or changes are made, either by you or the recruiter, and is stored for a period of 180 days. Unless subject to a statutory retention period, the data will be erased as soon as storage is no longer required or the legitimate interest in its storage has expired. If your application is unsuccessful, this is usually the case no later than six months after completion of the application process or after 6 months of inactivity, either by you or the recruiter.

In individual cases, individual data may be stored for a longer period (e.g. statement of travel expenses). In such cases, the duration of storage is based on the statutory retention requirements arising, for example, from the German Tax Code (6 years) or the German Commercial Code (10 years).

You will not be notified when your profile is about to be deleted and you will receive no confirmation of its deletion. If you are still awaiting feedback regarding a position, please contact the responsible recruiter.
