Privacy Policy Applicants

Data protection information for applicants

Compliance with data protection regulations is a high priority for us. In the following, we would like to inform you about the collection and processing of your personal data:

Controller

Responsible for data processing is: RTS Wind AG, Am Winterhafen 3a, 28217 Bremen, phone: +49 421 69 68 00 00, e-mail: info@rts-wind.de.

Purpose and legal basis of data processing

We process your personal data for the purpose of deciding on the establishment of the employment relationship. As part of the application process, we process the personal data that we collect from you, e.g. via the application form, in particular your contact details, such as your name and address, as well as all data related to the application, such as CV, certificates, qualifications. If you submit an application for reimbursement of travel expenses, we also need your bank details. The legal basis for the processing of your data results from Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 Para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

We also collect and process personal data that you provide to us voluntarily. This data is processed on the basis of your revocable consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 para. 2 BDSG.

Talent Network

You can voluntarily register for our talent network as part of the application process or via our careers page. If you register, you will receive regular career news, invitations and information on specialist and career events as well as job offers that may be of interest to you.

In this context, we only process the personal data that you provide to us as part of your application or registration and that we need to send you the information (usually: first and last name, e-mail address). The legal basis for data processing is your revocable consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 para. 2 BDSG.

Registration in our talent network is voluntary and failure to grant the corresponding consent has no effect on other ongoing application procedures.

Recipients of your data

We will of course treat your data confidentially and will not pass it on to third parties.

As part of the hosting of our application and career portal, we are supported by the service provider TFI GmbH, with whom we have concluded a separate contract for order processing.

In addition, we may use other service providers who support us, for example, in the areas of IT or the archiving and destruction of documents and with whom separate contracts for order processing have also been concluded.

We do not transfer your data to locations outside the EU or the EEA.

Storage period/criteria for determining the storage period

If there is no statutory retention period, the data will be deleted as soon as storage is no longer necessary or the legitimate interest in storage has expired. If you are not hired, this is usually the case no later than three months after completion of the application process or after receipt of the rejection. We also delete data if you withdraw your consent to the processing of your data.

If you have agreed to be included in our talent network, we will generally store the data until you withdraw your consent. We will retain your declaration of consent for inclusion in our talent network for a further three years in order to comply with our accountability obligations within the meaning of Art. 5 para. 2 GDPR.

In individual cases, individual data may be stored for longer (e.g. travel expense reports). The duration of storage then depends on the statutory retention obligations, e.g. from the German Fiscal Code (6 years) or the German Commercial Code (10 years). Further storage of your data is also permitted if further processing is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims after we have weighed up your interests.

Automated decision making

Since the decision on your employment relationship is not based exclusively on automated processing, no automated decision is made in individual cases within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

Your data protection rights

You have the right to receive information about the personal data stored about you free of charge upon request (Art. 15 para. 1 GDPR). In addition, if the legal requirements are met, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) of your personal data and to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future if the data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR. Please send your revocation to: info@rts-wind.de.

You have the right to object to data processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR if the data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR. Please send your objection to: info@rts-wind.de.

In accordance with Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority: You can contact the Bremen data protection supervisory authority as follows: The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Information Security, Arndtstraße 1, 27570 Bremerhaven, phone: +49 421 3612010 or +49 471 5962010, email: office@datenschutz.bremen.de. You can reach our data protection officer (datenschutz nord GmbH) at office@datenschutz-nord.de.
