This will not identify you by name automatically, but if you are logged in to Facebook at the same time your visit to our website may be matched to your Facebook account.
It is possible to use our website to apply for an advertised position or to send a speculative application. During the online application process, you communicate personal data to us which we will process for purposes of the application process. All personal data conveyed by you within the context of the application process will only be collected for purposes of the application process.
6.1 Which information will be gathered by us?
During the application process, we gather all information provided by you in the context of your application, as well as, if applicable, further data which we may learn during an interview or online assessment, notably evaluations.
Of course, such evaluation does not contain any defamatory or deprecatory statements. We only record information which is directly associated with the evaluation and the recruitment process or your job profile.
All personal data conveyed by you within the context of the application process will only be collected for purposes of conducting the application process. It is irrelevant whether you apply for an advertised position or send a speculative application.
Your application for a specific position or your speculative application for a certain location will go directly to the relevant personnel department.
If you send a speculative application for a certain region or several locations, you provide us with your personal data for verification of your suitability for different, and, if applicable, interdisciplinary positions throughout the group. It is therefore possible that, in addition to handling by our HR department, your documents will be forwarded to several of our specialist departments or to HR and specialist departments within the ALTANA Group.
In both cases your application may possibly be forwarded to the competent specialist departments or to works councils.
Furthermore, the department HR Corporate Systems & Recruitment of ALTANA AG has access to the group-wide applicant management system due to system requirements.
Especially in the context of an application process regarding a position in a third country outside the EU and the EFTA, your personal data will be transferred to our subsidiaries in the country in question. However, we transfer personal data only to third countries where the EU Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection by decision according to Art. 45 GDPR, or if we and the recipient of the data have agreed upon standard data protection clauses, adopted by the Commission according to Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR.
After completion of the application process, your data will be erased in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, particularly with regard to retention periods.
If we do not find a suitable position for you after completion of the application process, you have the possibility to give consent to inclusion in our applicants’ pool. If you consent, your application data and documents will remain stored in our system and examined for suitability in case of open positions. If you do not give or if you revoke your consent, we will erase your personal data in accordance with the legal provisions, unless we are legally obliged to retain your data. You may informally revoke your consent at any time.
In the context of an application process, we collect and process your personal data for the purpose of initiating possible employment.
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, as well as Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR to the extent that you have given us consent for a certain processing of your data.
Your application data will generally be erased or the processing restricted as soon as the purpose for storage, i. e. the execution of an application or an employment, is no longer pursued. However, erasure does not take place if the European or national legislative body stipulates a retention obligation for a certain period of time after termination of the application process, or if you have voluntarily given consent to longer storage of your data. In these cases, the data will be erased after expiration of the retention period or your consent, or the revocation of your consent. Revocation of the consent is possible at any time.
If, as a supplier, you have an interest in our company and communicate this to us through the use of our Internet Purchasing Network Tool, you will be asked to enter contact details for the decision-makers and information providers of your company. We point out that these entries are voluntary. Please only provide details about staff within your company if the latter have consented to the disclosure of this information.
The collection of these data serves the preparation of supplier contracts. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, as well as Art. 6 (1) lit. a, if you have given consent to a certain processing of your data. You may revoke your consent at any given time. The personal data will only be stored as long as this is necessary for the preparation and execution of a contract.
In general, i.e. subject to any legal restrictions, you have the rights listed below. In order to facilitate the exercise of these rights, we wish to inform you that any corresponding request does not require a certain form - you may send such a request electronically (in particular per email).
