  • Applicant master data (first name, last name, title, e-mail address, telephone number, address, date of birth, citizenship).
  • Qualification data (cover letter, letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, previous activities, professional qualifications and skills)
  • Voluntary information, e.g. an application photo, details of severely disabled status or other information that you voluntarily provide to us in your application or upload voluntarily
  • Additional questions depending on the respective job advertisement (e.g. driver's license, citizenship)
  • Communications between you and us, as well as comments and evaluations written about you in the course of your application process
  • Other data/ categories of data, e.g. publicly accessible, job-related data, e.g. a profile on professional social media networks such as XING or LinkedIn
  • pecial categories of personal data: If you provide information in your application documents that contains special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. information that allows conclusions to be drawn about your sexual orientation; information about your health; information that allows conclusions to be drawn about your ethnic origin or religion), we will also only process this data to the extent permitted by law.

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

Data processing for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 para. 1 Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)

Your personal data will be processed for the purpose of personnel selection to fill open positions, 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 intended 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. Your data may also be used to remind you to complete your application.  The legal basis is Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 para. 1 BDSG.

Data processing based on your consent according to Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 para. 2 BDSG

If you give us your consent for data processing, we process your data in accordance with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 para. 2 BDSG.

Consent is obtained in each specific case as part of the application process. For example, you can decide whether we may store your data for a longer period of time in order to contact you directly in the future when a suitable vacancy arises.

Data processing of special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR based on your consent according to Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 3 sentence 2 BDSG

If you voluntarily provide us with special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR as part of your application documents (e.g. your photo or information on your religious affiliation/denomination), we store this on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with Art. 26 para. 3 sentence 2 BDSG. This also applies if you provide us with further special personal data in the further course of the application process.  

By voluntarily submitting this data and by accepting this privacy notice, you consent to the storage of this particular personal data as part of the application process.

As a rule, we do not take these special personal data into account when making a selection decision, unless it is necessary to take these special personal data into account due to legal obligations. For example, in some job advertisements it is possible that people with disabilities are given preferential treatment in accordance with applicable laws. 

The information provided in these cases is always voluntary and is done with your express consent, which you express by voluntarily submitting this data and accepting this privacy notice.

Data processing based on legitimate interest - Art. 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.

Feedback-questionnaire

In order to optimize our application processes and improve us as an employer, we offer you the opportunity to provide your personal feedback. If you have consented, we will send you a feedback questionnaire for this purpose to the e-mail address you provided. For the implementation of the feedback form, we use the Microsoft 365 integrated survey tool from Microsoft (see section "To whom will your data be disclosed?"). In the survey we record the feedback,, the age range, position title and location of the position as well as job category and, if applicable, type of employment for which you have applied. In addition to using this information to optimize the application process we may also subsequently transmit it to kununu and possibly other verified review platforms, where it is published without your name being mentioned. Please note, however, that others, e.g. your employer, may be able to identify you based on the information you provide in the published feedback.

To whom will your data be disclosed?

The persons within our company who are required to fill vacancies have access to the personal data collected during the application process, depending on the position(s) for which you have applied. Your personal data is accessible to the respective personnel managers within the company and is made available to selected managers in individual cases.

If the position to be filled is located in an area that is organized in a matrix, your personal data may also be made available to HR managers, line managers or relevant managers in affiliated companies, insofar as this is necessary for the proper processing of your application.

Your data will only be passed on to external recipients if we are obliged to provide information, report or pass on data in order to comply with legal requirements, if you have given us permission to pass on data to third parties or to external service providers who act as data processors on our behalf or perform functions for us. We use New Work SE, Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg, Germany as an external service provider. New Work SE operates onlyfy one, the online platform we use to bring talents and companies together. You can find out more about onlyfy one above.

If you apply via onlyfy one, your personal data will be recorded directly in onlyfy one. In the case of a postal or e-mail application, we can also transfer your data to onlyfy one.

In addition, the administration of the applicant process in our group of companies is carried out centrally by our parent company, recucare GmbH, Stockholmer Platz 1, 70173 Stuttgart. For this purpose, a corresponding data processing agreement has been concluded between the group companies and recucare GmbH.

If you have consented to the feedback questionnaire, we use the survey tool integrated in Microsoft 365 from Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland (parent company: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, Washington 98052, USA) as a data processor.

Third country transfer

In principle, recucare does not transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) or to international organizations. If such a transfer should become necessary in individual cases, it will either take place in accordance with an adequacy decision of the European Commission (Art. 45 GDPR), on the basis of standard data protection clauses in accordance with the requirements of the European Commission (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c, para. 5 sentence 2 GDPR), or in fulfillment of an exceptional circumstance of Art. 49 GDPR.

How long will your data be stored in our onlyfy one company account?

We store your personal data as long as this 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 within four months after the end of the application process.

Insofar as no employment relationship is established, but you have given us your consent for the further storage of your data ("applicant pool"), we will store your data until you revoke your consent, but for no longer than one year. If there is a specific reason, we may also store your data for a longer period for the purpose of defending against possible legal claims.

If you withdraw your application before the end of the application process, i.e. delete your data and your account, the stored data will be blocked for the period of the application process that is still ongoing and deleted after four months after the end of the application process for our company.

Provided you do not make any further changes in your candidate profile, for example, complete a current application, start a new application or change the data of an existing application, your data will be deleted within four months of the end of the last active application process for our company.

If you no longer use your candidate profile and have not given your consent to longer data storage in our applicant pool, the data will be deleted within four months after the end of the application process for our company.
