Which of my data is processed?

H&Z collects the data that you disclose to H&Z as part of your application, in particular your desired position, name, title, address, e-mail, telephone, date of birth, details of school, academic and professional training, current and previous employment, certificates, language skills, computer skills.
We may also receive the aforementioned personal data from recruitment agencies with whom we work. In addition, we may collect data from you that you have published via application platforms and publicly accessible and professionally used social media to maintain existing and establish new business contacts (e.g. LinkedIn, Xing). This includes your name, contact details, information on your professional career and other relevant data that you may disclose in the respective network for professional purposes.
When submitting your application, please ensure that you do not disclose any sensitive personal data about yourself (e.g. information about health, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or sexual orientation), as this information is not required for an assessment of your skills and qualifications for the purpose of deciding on your application.

For what purposes and on what legal basis is my data processed? How long will my data be stored?

H&Z processes your data in the context of your application only to the extent necessary for the processing of your application (including the performance of pre-employment compliance checks) and the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship with you. The legal basis for the processing of your data is the necessity of the processing for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship with you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, § 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG). Insofar as it is necessary to carry out certain measures for pre-employment compliance checks so that H&Z can fulfill its legal obligations, the processing of your data is based on our legitimate interests in complying with these legal obligations and preventing any disadvantages and sanctions resulting from a violation of the law (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).
Insofar as we collect and process data that you have published via application platforms or publicly accessible and professionally used social media in the run-up to an application procedure, we base the processing of your data in this regard on our legitimate interest in recruiting suitable applicants for our company (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).
If an employment relationship is established with you, we will transfer your data from the application process - insofar as it is relevant for the establishment and implementation of the employment relationship - to our personnel database and process it in accordance with our data protection declaration for employees in accordance with our data protection retention and deletion processes.
If no employment relationship is established, we will store your data for a period of 6 months after the application process has been completed. The legal basis for the storage of the data is the necessity of the processing to safeguard our legitimate interests in the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, in particular the defense against any claims asserted in accordance with the AGG (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).
We generally delete your data after expiry of the retention period specified above, unless deletion conflicts with statutory retention obligations or longer storage is necessary in a specific case to fulfill other legal obligations or to protect our legitimate interests (assertion, exercise or defense of our legal claims).

Am I obliged to provide my data?

You are neither contractually nor legally obliged to provide us with your data. However, we may not be able to process your application in full if you do not provide the data required to process your application.

Who will my data be passed on to?

Your data will be treated as strictly confidential and will only be passed on internally to the relevant departments/employees who need to know your data in order to process your application.
In addition, we pass on your data to external recipients insofar as this is necessary to achieve the above-mentioned purposes:

The storage and management of the data specified in section 2 by H&Z takes place in the centralized personnel management system of the H&Z Group. Insofar as this is necessary for the processing of the application procedure, in particular for checking qualifications and suitability and for conducting interviews, we may pass on your data to other companies of the H&Z Group or grant them access to your data. In these cases, too, an authorization concept ensures that only those employees of the H&Z Group who need your data to carry out the application process and decide on your recruitment are granted access to your data. In this context, H&Z and the other H&Z Group companies involved in the processing process your data as joint controllers and have concluded a joint controllership agreement that meets the requirements of Art. 26 GDPR. For an effective assertion of your rights as a data subject (see section 6), you can contact the central point of contact at H&Z at any time using the details provided in section 1 even if the processing is carried out within the scope of joint responsibility by another H&Z Group company mentioned above. Of course, you also reserve the right to assert your rights directly against the Group company concerned.

Further information on joint responsibility and the relevant agreement between H&Z and the other H&Z Group companies can be obtained at any time on request from H&Z at the addresses given in section 1 mentioned contact details.

In addition, we transmit your data to the extent permitted by law for the purposes described above in section 3 above to carefully selected external service providers, such as hosting and IT service providers, legal advisors, tax consultants and business partners (e.g. travel agencies, hotels, airlines), who are contractually obligated in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations. These companies may only process your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the provision of the services commissioned by us. Your data will neither be sold to third parties nor marketed in any other way.

In particular, we use the web-based personnel administration and application management software of Personio SE & Co KG, Seidlstraße 3, 80335 Munich, Germany (hereinafter referred to as "Personio") for the processing of personal data of applicants and employees. The data collected as part of your application and the execution of your employment relationship is transmitted in encrypted form and stored and processed in a database operated by Personio. Personio processes your personal data on our behalf on the basis of an order processing contract in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. You can find further information on data protection at Personio at https://www.personio.de/ueber-uns/datenschutz/.

In some cases, the above-mentioned recipients may be located in countries outside the European Union and the contracting states of the European Economic Area ("third countries"), in particular in the case of transfers to service providers in the USA. The laws of these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection that has been deemed adequate by the European Commission in the context of an adequacy decision. In these cases, however, we have taken suitable and appropriate measures to ensure that your data is also adequately protected by the recipients in third countries and that the level of data protection required by European law is not undercut (e.g. by concluding EU standard contractual clauses and implementing additional measures).
To find out more about the specific recipients of your data, the respective third countries and the measures we have taken to protect your data, including the possibility of obtaining a copy of the measures, please contact H&Z at the details provided in section 1 above.
