f) Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of a third party and the interests, fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights of the data subject do not override these, then Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO serves us as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below the applicable legal basis in each case. Processing may also be based on several legal bases.

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

We will be happy to provide you with more detailed information on request. Please contact our data protection officer (see above).

3. Data processed during the (informational) use of the website

We collect this data if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract between you and us (including in the form of terms of use for this website) (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO) or your consent is given (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO). Furthermore, we collect this data if this is necessary for the functionality of the website and your interest in the protection of your personal data does not outweigh this (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO).

Cookies are small text files that are stored on the device memory of your end device and, if applicable, assigned to the mobile device you are using, and through which certain information flows to the location that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your end device and therefore cannot cause any damage. They serve to make our Internet offer more user-friendly and effective overall, i.e. more pleasant for you.

Cookies cannot directly identify a user, but can contain data that makes it possible to recognize the device used. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information about certain settings that are not personally identifiable.

A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted again as soon as you close your Internet session, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. With regard to their function, cookies are again differentiated between:

Any use of cookies that is not absolutely technically necessary constitutes data processing that is only permitted with your explicit and active consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. This applies in particular to the use of advertising, targeting or sharing cookies. In addition, we will only share your personal data processed through cookies with third parties if you have given your express consent to do so pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. Please note that when cookies are used, your data may be transferred to recipients outside the EEA where there is no adequate level of data protection in accordance with the DSGVO (e.g. USA).

6. Recipient group and joint responsibility; third-country transfer

Within our company, the departments responsible for processing the requests have access to your data. In addition, we use external service providers, in particular order processors in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, insofar as we cannot or cannot reasonably perform services ourselves. These external service providers are thereby primarily providers of IT services and telecommunications services. If certain service providers are explicitly mentioned, you will also find further information in the privacy statements of the service providers. 

In order to fulfill the above purposes and to process your job application efficiently, it is necessary to pass on your data to your potential new employers within the Meyer Burger Group.

The cooperation takes place within the framework of the recruitment process on the basis of joint responsibility under data protection law within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 and Art. 26 (1) DSGVO. After completion or termination of the recruitment process, the joint responsibility ends. During the period of joint responsibility, you as the data subject may assert your rights (see Section II. in particular) against each of the data controllers, even though the two data controllers have contractually regulated their responsibilities and liability in their internal relationship with each other or, if applicable, divided them up differently. The fulfillment of your data protection rights may therefore not be carried out by the body to which you originally addressed your request in the context of the data protection rights. 

If a body exceeds the limits of permissible data processing and the other body becomes aware of this, it shall support the data subject in exercising his or her data subject rights if necessary and within the bounds of what is legally and actually reasonable.

If an entity as the sole responsible entity independently collects data of the data subject, it is obligated to implement the related information obligations from Art. 12 - 14 GDPR vis-à-vis the data subjects. This applies in particular to or from the establishment of an employment relationship or similar cooperation. The responsible bodies mentioned in Section I. are no longer jointly responsible for information obligations in this regard, unless the purposes and means of processing are also jointly determined for further processing and you have been informed about the further joint responsibility. 

A transfer to third countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) only takes place under certain conditions within the framework of Art. 44ff DSGVO.

Some third countries are certified by the European Commission as having a level of data protection comparable to the EEA standard through so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be obtained here:

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible through binding company regulations, standard data protection clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data (available at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en), certificates or recognized codes of conduct. You can contact our data protection officer if you would like more information on this.

7. Minors

Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit personal data to us or submit declarations of consent without the consent of their legal guardians. We would like to urge parents and guardians and minors to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and not to circumvent any age restrictions.

8. No automated decision making (including profiling).

We do not intend to use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision making process (including profiling).

IV. specific data processing in the application context

1. processing purposes, categories of personal data

We process the application data outlined in this section for the purpose of initiating or implementing an employment relationship or a relationship similar to employment to the extent outlined below. 

In particular, the following categories of data may be processed:

General personal data (name, address and other contact data, application photo, dates of birth, nationality, marital status, other (possibly also sensitive) data disclosed by you to us)

• Job-related data (professional contact information, current position, responsibilities/responsibilities, current employer, current compensation, notice period, holds).

Experience-related data (previous positions and employers, school and academic education, vocational training, experience, knowledge)

Future-related data (wishes and ideas, assessments, conceivable areas of application, mediation ideas)

Other data (information focusing on your professional life that is publicly available through social media services (e.g., XING, Google, LinkedIn, Experteer, etc.) or otherwise available on the Internet that may be relevant to your qualifications for a particular vacancy)

2. further data processing by the controller; legal basis for data processing

If you approach us proactively, we will process the data you provide as part of the initial contact, as well as any other data we may request.

As application data, we treat and process all information (curriculum vitae, references, proof of qualifications) as well as all other information (e.g. in telephone interviews, in personal interviews). This is done for the contractual or pre-contractual purposes outlined above. 

The provision of certain truthful data is required in order to process your request, further information (in particular the submission of a photo) is voluntary.

Insofar as your data is required to carry out the application procedure, Art. 88 DSGVO in conjunction with. § Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) is the legal basis for processing your data.

Insofar as special categories of personal data (e.g. health data, trade union or religious affiliation or other "sensitive" data) are concerned, which may not already be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO in conjunction with. § 26 BDSG, the processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO, which you have expressed by communicating this data.

If your application was successful and an employment relationship is established with us, your data will initially be stored for the duration of the employment relationship. After you leave us, we will process your data for a maximum of three years for the purpose of preserving evidence, unless there are longer legal retention periods (e.g., social security law).

The processed personal data will be deleted insofar as the processing is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or you request us to delete the data in the context of asserting your rights as a data subject. This is done regularly at the latest six (6) months after completion of the application process after a vacancy has not been filled, if no longer retention obligations apply. If we are not hired, a longer storage period of months24 from the last individual contact with you - for example, to defend against potential AGG claims - may be necessary in individual cases based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO.

5. Automated processing operations and use of cookies

Cookies may be used in the operation of our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the device memory of your end device and, if applicable, assigned to the mobile device you are using, and through which certain information flows to the location that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your end device and therefore cannot cause any damage. They serve to make our Internet offer more user-friendly and effective overall, i.e. more pleasant for you.

Cookies cannot directly identify a user, but can contain data that makes it possible to recognize the device used. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information about certain settings that are not personally identifiable.

A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted again as soon as you close your Internet session, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. With regard to their function, cookies are again differentiated between:

Technically necessary cookies: these are mandatory in order to navigate within our website, use basic functions and ensure the security of the website; they do not collect information about you for marketing purposes, nor do they store which web pages you have visited;

Performance cookies: these collect information about how you use our website, which pages you visit and, for example, whether errors occur during website use; they do not collect information that could identify you - all information collected is anonymous and is only used to improve our website and find out what interests our users;

Advertising cookies, targeting cookies: These are used to offer the user tailored advertising within our Internet offering or third-party offerings and to measure the effectiveness of these offerings; advertising and targeting cookies are stored for a maximum of 36 months;

Sharing cookies: These are used to improve the interactivity of our website with other services (e.g. social networks); sharing cookies are stored for a maximum of 36 months.

Any use of cookies that is not absolutely technically necessary constitutes data processing that is only permitted with your explicit and active consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. This applies in particular to the use of advertising, targeting or sharing cookies. In addition, we will only share your personal data processed through cookies with third parties if you have given your express consent to do so pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. Please note that when cookies are used, your data may be transferred to recipients outside the EEA where there is no adequate level of data protection in accordance with the DSGVO (e.g. USA). Details on this can be found in the following description of the individual marketing tools.

The following cookies may be used on our website:

Cookie name: JSESSIONID
Purpose and stored data: For identification of the visitor.

6. Recipient group and joint responsibility; third-country transfer

Within our company, the departments responsible for processing the requests have access to your data. In addition, we use external service providers, in particular order processors in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, insofar as we cannot or cannot reasonably perform services ourselves. These external service providers are thereby primarily providers of IT services and telecommunications services. If certain service providers are explicitly mentioned, you will also find further information in the privacy statements of the service providers. 

In order to fulfill the above purposes and to process your job application efficiently, it is necessary to pass on your data to your potential new employers within the Meyer Burger Group.

The cooperation takes place within the framework of the recruitment process on the basis of joint responsibility under data protection law within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 and Art. 26 (1) DSGVO. After completion or termination of the recruitment process, the joint responsibility ends. During the period of joint responsibility, you as the data subject may assert your rights (see Section II. in particular) against each of the data controllers, even though the two data controllers have contractually regulated their responsibilities and liability in their internal relationship with each other or, if applicable, divided them up differently. The fulfillment of your data protection rights may therefore not be carried out by the body to which you originally addressed your request in the context of the data protection rights. 

If a body exceeds the limits of permissible data processing and the other body becomes aware of this, it shall support the data subject in exercising his or her data subject rights if necessary and within the bounds of what is legally and actually reasonable.

If an entity as the sole responsible entity independently collects data of the data subject, it is obligated to implement the related information obligations from Art. 12 - 14 GDPR vis-à-vis the data subjects. This applies in particular to or from the establishment of an employment relationship or similar cooperation. The responsible bodies mentioned in Section I. are no longer jointly responsible for information obligations in this regard, unless the purposes and means of processing are also jointly determined for further processing and you have been informed about the further joint responsibility. 

A transfer to third countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) only takes place under certain conditions within the framework of Art. 44ff DSGVO.

Some third countries are certified by the European Commission as having a level of data protection comparable to the EEA standard through so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be obtained here:

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible through binding company regulations, standard data protection clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data (available at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en), certificates or recognized codes of conduct. You can contact our data protection officer if you would like more information on this.

7. Minors

Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit personal data to us or submit declarations of consent without the consent of their legal guardians. We would like to urge parents and guardians and minors to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and not to circumvent any age restrictions.

8. No automated decision making (including profiling).

We do not intend to use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision making process (including profiling).

IV. specific data processing in the application context

1. processing purposes, categories of personal data

We process the application data outlined in this section for the purpose of initiating or implementing an employment relationship or a relationship similar to employment to the extent outlined below. 

In particular, the following categories of data may be processed:

General personal data (name, address and other contact data, application photo, dates of birth, nationality, marital status, other (possibly also sensitive) data disclosed by you to us)

• Job-related data (professional contact information, current position, responsibilities/responsibilities, current employer, current compensation, notice period, holds).

Experience-related data (previous positions and employers, school and academic education, vocational training, experience, knowledge)

Future-related data (wishes and ideas, assessments, conceivable areas of application, mediation ideas)

Other data (information focusing on your professional life that is publicly available through social media services (e.g., XING, Google, LinkedIn, Experteer, etc.) or otherwise available on the Internet that may be relevant to your qualifications for a particular vacancy)

2. further data processing by the controller; legal basis for data processing

If you approach us proactively, we will process the data you provide as part of the initial contact, as well as any other data we may request.

As application data, we treat and process all information (curriculum vitae, references, proof of qualifications) as well as all other information (e.g. in telephone interviews, in personal interviews). This is done for the contractual or pre-contractual purposes outlined above. 

The provision of certain truthful data is required in order to process your request, further information (in particular the submission of a photo) is voluntary.

Insofar as your data is required to carry out the application procedure, Art. 88 DSGVO in conjunction with. § Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) is the legal basis for processing your data.

Insofar as special categories of personal data (e.g. health data, trade union or religious affiliation or other "sensitive" data) are concerned, which may not already be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO in conjunction with. § 26 BDSG, the processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO, which you have expressed by communicating this data.

If your application was successful and an employment relationship is established with us, your data will initially be stored for the duration of the employment relationship. After you leave us, we will process your data for a maximum of three years for the purpose of preserving evidence, unless there are longer legal retention periods (e.g., social security law).

The processed personal data will be deleted insofar as the processing is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or you request us to delete the data in the context of asserting your rights as a data subject. This is done regularly at the latest six (6) months after completion of the application process after a vacancy has not been filled, if no longer retention obligations apply. If we are not hired, a longer storage period of months24 from the last individual contact with you - for example, to defend against potential AGG claims - may be necessary in individual cases based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO.
