In this context, we may receive your identifiers, location information, professional or employment information and/or education information that you transmitted via other sources such as “Personio“, to the extent you have shared such information via third party sources. We will use and store this information exclusively for the purpose of your job search / application process.

Only authorized HR staff and/or staff of affiliated companies involved in the application process have access to your data.
The personal data is stored, as a rule, exclusively for the purpose of filling the vacancy for which you have applied.
Should you be offered and accept a position with us during the application process, we will store the personal data collected as part of the application process for at least the duration of your employment.

We process your personal data for the initiation, performance or conclusion of the application process or employment relationship, as well as for the exercise and fulfillment of legal and contractual obligations or for the purposes of legal prosecution.

In detail:

You are not required to provide your personal data during the application process. However, if you do not provide the information or personal data, we may not be able to process your application properly or to manage your contact request.

Storage period
In the event of a rejection, applicants personal data stored at our database will be deleted after 6 months after completion of the application process unless it is apparent that the data will be needed for legal reasons, such as defending against legal claims.

With whom we share your personal data
As part of the application process, your data will be processed internally by employees in the HR department, recruitment coordinators, interview panelists, and department heads as well as hiring managers to whom your position would report.
Data transmitted as part of your application on our website will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. This database and our recruiting website is operated by “Personio”, which offers a human resource and applicant management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). In this context, “Personio” is our processor under Art. 28 GDPR. We use "Personio" together with our affiliated companies (Energy Nest AS, Torre Remedios Business Center, Av. República Argentina 24, Sevilla; EnergyNest GmbH, Poststr. 14-16, 20354 Hamburg, Germany) for talent acquisition and for our application process via job boards as well as the career portal on our website. For more information about our internal processing of your personal data and our classification as a joint controller, please see section II. Of this privacy notice below. To the extent engaged in the application process, “Personio" will process so-called “server logs”, general protocol data when you access to the application website, identifiers such as your personnel master data (in particular name, date of birth, address, contact details), contract master data (e. g. marital status, professional/educational qualifications, certificates) and employment information/inferences such as related assessments or email messages, that we will send to you.

Rights of data subjects
If we as the controller process personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object to the processing of your personal data which occurs based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). If you object, we will not process your data further, unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms or, moreover, the processing serves to establish and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21(1) GDPR). Furthermore, under Art. 21(2) GDPR you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, which includes profiling to the extent that this is related to such direct marketing. In this privacy policy, we draw your attention to this right to object when describing each processing operation.

Concluding provisions / Changes to this privacy notice
We reserve the right to adjust this data privacy statement at any point in time to ensure that it is always in line with the current legal requirements, or to accommodate changes in the application process or other processes. In this case, the new data privacy statement applies to any later visit of this recruitment website or any later job application. We will post the new data privacy statement on this page and/or in the job ads that we post on our career website or other job boards and will indicate the date it goes into effect. If the changes allow us to use personal data in ways that are different from the ways specified at the time the information was originally collected, our website will contain a special notice about the changes and, if required by law, will prompt you for your consent for certain changes.
