Privacy Policy for Applicants

For the application procedure, the Schneider Group uses an applicant portal on its Internet pages. The applicant portal is used jointly by Schneider Holding GmbH and its affiliated companies.

If you do not submit your application via the applicant portal but in paper form or by e-mail attachment, please note that we will transfer the data to our applicant portal.

 

A) Data protection information on the application process

1. Description and scope of data processing

If you would like to apply online for an advertised position in the Schneider Group, we require some information about you. Within the scope of the online application, we therefore process all data collected during the application process (title, first name, surname, street and house number, postcode and town, country, date of birth, place of birth, e-mail address, telephone/mobile number, period of notice and salary requirement).

In addition, we collect and process the data contained in the attachments (letter of application, CV, references, qualifications, application photo, etc.).

It is possible that you will supplement or update the personal data you have provided to us during the course of the applicant selection process.

All data is collected and processed electronically by us for the purpose of handling the application process.

When you call up our pages, your web browser automatically transmits technical information to us. This includes, for example, information about the browser you are using, information about the operating system, time and date of your visit and, if applicable, reference URL. This information is used exclusively for statistical purposes and to tailor our website to your needs. You as a user remain anonymous. It is not possible for us to combine this data with data from your online application. We do not require any information from you that is not usable under the General Act on Equal Treatment (e.g. race, ethnic origin, religion or world view, age, sexual identity). We also ask you not to provide information on pregnancy, political views, philosophical or religious convictions and trade union membership. The same applies to content that could violate the rights of third parties (e.g. copyright, press law or general rights of third parties).

 

2. Purposes and legal basis of data collection, storage, processing or use

The purpose of processing your data is to carry out the application procedure in accordance with legal requirements.

The personal data collected at the beginning or in the course of the applicant selection procedure are required

  • to be able to identify you as an applicant,
  • to correspond with you,
  • to decide on the establishment of the employment relationship,
  • to fulfil the rights and obligations of the representation of interests (works council, equal opportunities representative, representation of severely disabled persons) arising from the law, collective agreement and works agreements.

We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), insofar as this is necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship with us. The legal basis for this is Article 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG-new and, if applicable, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b GDPR for the initiation or implementation of contractual relationships.

Furthermore, we may process your personal data if this is necessary for the fulfilment of legal obligations (Article 6 paragraph 1 letter c GDPR) or for the defence of asserted legal claims against us. The legal basis for this is Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR. The legitimate interest is, for example, a duty of proof in proceedings under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG). If you give us express consent to process personal data for specific purposes, the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent according to Article 6 (1) letter a GDPR. Consent given can be revoked at any time, with effect for the future.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily disclosed within the scope of the application procedure, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin). Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants in the context of the application procedure, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Article 9 (2) (b) GDPR (e.g. health data, if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession).

If an employment relationship is established between you and us, we may further process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with Article 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 BDSG-new, insofar as this is necessary for the implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfilment of the rights and obligations of the employee representation resulting from a law or a collective agreement, a company or service agreement (collective agreement).

 

3. Recipients of your data or categories of recipients

  • Internal bodies involved in the execution of the application process and reviewing your application.
  • External contractors pursuant to Article 28 GDPR (processing or use of personal data on behalf). The order processor pursuant to Article 28 GDPR is coveto ATS GmbH with its registered office in Nidda, Germany.
  • There are no plans to transfer data to third countries.

 

4. Storage and deletion of data

We store your personal data as long as this is necessary for the decision on your application. Your personal data or application documents will be deleted a maximum of six months after the end of the application process (e.g. notification of the rejection decision), unless longer storage is legally required or permitted. We store your personal data beyond this only insofar as this is required by law or in the specific case for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute.

In the event that you have consented to a longer storage of your personal data, we will store it in accordance with your declaration of consent. If an employment relationship, apprenticeship or trainee relationship is established following the application process, your data will initially continue to be stored insofar as this is necessary and permissible and will then be transferred to the personnel file.

We destroy paper applications after they have been transferred to the applicant portal, and we delete e-mail applications immediately after they have been transferred.

 

5. Possibility of objection and removal

If the processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time in accordance with Article 7 GDPR. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected. Please also note that we may need to retain certain data for a certain period of time in order to comply with legal requirements (see paragraph 3).

Insofar as the processing of your personal data is carried out for the protection of legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of this data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation pursuant to Article 21 GDPR. We will then no longer process this personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. These must outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing must serve the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

 

B) Use of cookies

Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user calls up a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system.

The coveto job portal sets two cookies. These are technically necessary cookies without tracking or analysis function, which ensure the correct function of the website or the portal.

 

C) Analysis tools and third-party tools

When visiting our website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is done primarily with cookies and with so-called analysis programmes. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous; the surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. You will find detailed information on this in the data protection declaration of the respective website (see D point 3).

You can object to this analysis. You will be informed about the possibilities of objection in the respective data protection declaration.

 

D) Information on joint responsibility

The applicant portal is jointly operated by Schneider Holding GmbH together with other companies affiliated in the Schneider Group (below: “the companies”) as joint controllers within the meaning of Article 26 (1) sentence 1 GDPR. As joint controllers pursuant to Article 26 of the GDPR, the companies have entered into an agreement on the joint use of the application portal and agreed on which of them fulfils which data protection obligations. In the following, we would like to inform you about the essential contents of the agreement between the joint controllers:

 

1. Cooperation of the jointly responsible parties

  • The companies decide independently of each other on the content of the application procedures and the specific processing of the applicant data. With your application to a company of the Schneider Group, both Schneider Holding GmbH and the relevant company advertising the vacancy can access your applicant data for administrative reasons.
  • The companies have jointly determined the means and purposes of the technical operation and organisational use of the applicant portal.
  • The applicant portal itself is provided by an external service provider as part of a commissioned processing pursuant to Article 28 GDPR. The order processor pursuant to Article 28 GDPR is coveto ATS GmbH with its registered office in Nidda, Germany.

 

2. Responsibility of the companies

  • The company to whose job advertisement you have applied is individually responsible for informing you about the use of your applicant data in accordance with Article 13 and 14 GDPR and your rights in this context. You will find the information on this in this data protection declaration.
  • You can request information about the processing of your personal data at any time. In addition, you can of course exercise all other rights to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability in accordance with Article 15-21 GDPR at any time. In addition, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR. Only the company whose job advertisement you have applied for is responsible for your enquiries. However, if you address your enquiry to a company other than this company, the enquiry will be forwarded to the competent company without delay.
  • Schneider Holding GmbH is the administrator of the applicant portal for all companies. For this purpose, Schneider Holding GmbH, in coordination with the other companies, exercises the rights of instruction and control vis-à-vis the processor in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.
