2. Data processing in the context of your online application

If your application relates to a specific job advertisement, AWB will process the data you provide as part of your application only for the purpose of processing your application for this job.

AWB will only store your application data beyond the end of the application process for this position to the extent necessary to protect our legitimate interests. The storage period in the applicant management system is limited to 12 months after completion of the application process.

If your application is considered for other AWB positions, your data will only be used further if you have expressly given your consent to this. AWB will obtain your consent in advance.

If you submit an unsolicited application, AWB will only store your application data to the extent necessary to protect our legitimate interests. The storage period in the applicant management system is limited to a maximum of 12 months, unless AWB wishes to store it for longer. In this case, AWB will obtain your consent in advance.

3. Use and protection of your application data

AWB has taken technical and organisational measures to protect your application data against accidental or intentional manipulation and against unauthorised access. The transmission of your data is encrypted in accordance with the currently recognised state of the art.

In the application process, your application data is only accessed by those persons who are entrusted with the process. These are generally the HR department and the manager responsible for the job offer.

AWB will only use your application data outside of application processes for anonymised statistics. Any further use will not take place.

4. Duration of data storage; deletion of your application data

AWB will store your application data for a period of 12 months after completion of the application process or - in the case of unsolicited applications - after receipt of the application. Subject to statutory retention obligations, AWB deletes your application data after completion of the application process, unless there is a reason for storage as described in section 2. In this case, AWB will delete the data immediately after the reason for storage no longer applies.

5. Legal bases for data processing

The legal basis for processing your application data depends on the purpose underlying the data processing.

  • Data processing in the context of your online application
    The legal basis for processing your application data for the above-mentioned purpose is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR as well as Section 26 para. 1 BDSG. Data processing is indispensable for the selection process and the preparation of a possible employment relationship.
  • Data processing for future job advertisements
    The legal basis for processing your application data for the above-mentioned purpose is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We only process your data in our applicant management system beyond the specific application process in the event of your express consent.
  • Data processing for anonymised statistics
    The legal basis for data processing for the above-mentioned purpose is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We need statistical information about the use of our online application process. We use anonymisation techniques to protect your personal data.

6. Your rights

You have extensive rights with regard to the processing of your personal data:

Right to information

You have the right to information about the data stored by us, in particular for what purpose the processing is carried out and how long the data is stored (Article 15 GDPR).

Right to correct incorrect data

You have the right to demand that we correct personal data relating to you without delay if it is incorrect (Article 16 GDPR).

Right to erasure

You have the right to request that we delete personal data relating to you. These conditions provide that you can request the erasure of your data if, for example, we no longer need the personal data for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, we should process the data unlawfully or you should have legitimately objected, or if there is a legal obligation to erase it (Article 17 GDPR).

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your data. This right exists in particular for the duration of the examination if you have disputed the accuracy of the data relating to you and in the event that you wish to have restricted processing instead of deletion in the case of an existing right to deletion. Furthermore, processing is restricted in the event that the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued by us, but you need the data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, as well as if the successful exercise of an objection is disputed between us and you (Article 18 GDPR).

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us from us in a structured, common, machine-readable format (Article 20 GDPR), insofar as it has not already been deleted.

Right to object

You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Article 21 GDPR). We will stop processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If you wish to object to the processing of your personal data, please send us an email or write to the contact address of the controller mentioned above.

Right to complain to the supervisory authority

You have the possibility to contact the above-mentioned data protection officer or a data protection supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the General Data Protection Regulation.  

7. Revocation of your consent

You are entitled to revoke any consent you may have given for the use of your personal data at any time with effect for the future. To do so, simply send an e-mail to info@awb-international.de.
