1. Right to object to the collection of data in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) e) or f) DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising.

 

2. Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. We obtain this from you before the start of the data processing that requires your consent.

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.

For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below in each case how long the data will be stored by us and when it will be deleted or blocked. If no explicit storage period is specified below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for the storage no longer applies.

However, storage may take place beyond the specified time in the event of a (threatened) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings or if storage is provided for by statutory provisions to which we are subject as the responsible party (e.g. § 257 HGB, § 147 AO). If the storage period prescribed by the legal regulations expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.

 

2. Data security

We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, as well as the existing risks of a data breach (including its probability and impact) for the data subject.

A transfer to third countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) only takes place under certain conditions within the framework of Art. 44ff GDPR and Art. 6 para. 2 FADP (CH.)

The European Commission certifies that some third countries have a level of data protection comparable to the EEA standard by means of so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here:

English

https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en

German

https:// commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_de?etrans=de

In other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, however, there may not be a uniformly 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 corporate rules, standard data protection clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data (available at

https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_de ),

certificates or recognised codes of conduct. You can contact our data protection officer if you would like more information on this.

Third country transfer google analytics: If data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no data protection level corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. You may not be entitled to any legal remedies against access by authorities.

Note on the adequacy decision: USA

On 28 February 2023, the European Commission adopted the adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (successor to the "Privacy Shield"). The adequacy decision now serves as the basis for data transfers to certified organisations in the USA.

Meyer Burger establishes the lawfulness of the transfer by checking whether personal data is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework before transferring it to U.S. organisations.

The following link shows whether organisations are certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

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

If you contact us proactively, we will process the data that you provide to us when you first contact us, as well as any other data that we request.

We treat and process all information (in particular CV, certificates, proof of qualifications) and all other information (e.g. in telephone interviews, in personal meetings) as application data. This is done for the above-mentioned contractual or pre-contractual purposes.

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

Insofar as your data is required to carry out the application process, Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Art. § Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Art. 4 DSG (CH) is the legal basis for the processing of your data.

Insofar as special categories of personal data are involved (e.g. health data, trade union or religious affiliation or other "sensitive" data), the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR and F ADP (CH), which you have expressed by disclosing this data.

If your application is 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 the company, we will process your data for a maximum of three years for the purpose of preserving evidence.

The processed personal data will be deleted if the processing is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or if you request us to delete it as part of the assertion of your rights as a data subject. This will regularly take place at the latest six (6) months after the application process has been completed, if there are no longer retention obligations after a position has not been filled. If no recruitment takes place, a longer retention period of 24 months from the last individual contact with you - e.g. to defend against possible AGG claims - may apply in individual cases on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and Art. 4 DSG CH.
