VI Data protection for applications and in the application procedure
The Controller processes the personal data of job applicants only for the purpose of conducting the application procedure and in accordance with the legal requirements.

If the Controller concludes an employment agreement with an applicant, the transmitted data shall be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the Controller does not conclude an employment agreement with the applicant, the application documents shall be automatically deleted six months after notification of the decision of refusal, provided that no other legitimate interests of the Controller stand in the way of deletion or the applicant has provided his consent to the continuing processing of data. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses are archived in accordance with tax regulations.
The applicant’s data is processed in order to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations in the context of the application procedure within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, whereby the applicant submits the application addressed to the Controller on a voluntary basis within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

In this connection, you can request the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transmission of information.

– The Controller no longer requires personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims, or
– If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate reasons of the Controller prevail over your reasons for objection.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data may only be used with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending against legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the EU or a Member State.
If the limitation of processing is instituted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the Controller before the restriction is lifted.

If the Controller has made your personal data public and is in accordance with Article 17 (1) GDPR obligated to erase this data, then it is also obligated to inform data controllers who process this personal data that you as a data subject have requested the deletion of any links to such personal data or copies or duplicates of such personal data while taking into account the available technology and the costs of implementation, including appropriate technical measures.
– to fulfill a legal obligation required by the law of the EU or of the Member States to which the Controller is subject, or to perform a task of public interest or in the exercise of official authority that is conferred by the Controller;

In exercising this right, you also have the further right to obtain your data that is directly transmitted by one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be affected.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that is conferred by the Controller.
You have the right at any time, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to contest the processing of your personal data that is processed pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The Controller will cease to process your personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending against legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is pursued for such direct advertising.

8 Right to revoke the informed consent related to data protection

9 Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing (including profiling) that entails legal consequences against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. However, this provision does not apply if the decision
– is required for the conclusion or performance of a agreement between you and the Controller,
– is permissible on the basis of EU or Member State laws to which the Controller is subject, and those legal provisions contain adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
– is taken with your express consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and reasonable measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
If the decision is not based on legal provisions, the Controller will take appropriate measures to uphold the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at minimum your right to require the Controller to present a person to intervene, who will be allowed to express his own position and to challenge the decision.
10 Right to appeal the decision before a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence or place of work or the place of alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
The Controller’s supervisory authority that is responsible for data protection is:

VIII Technical and organizational measures
Protecting personal data that is processed and used on the systems of Alcedis GmbH is a particular requirement and concern for us as a company that is active in the healthcare sector. For this reason, we have implemented a comprehensive data protection and IT security concept throughout the company which, with the aid of technical and organisational data protection measures, will adequately ensure the protection of the personal and other company-relevant data that is stored on our systems. This also includes the protection of your personal data (e.g., your name, address or e-mail address) when you visit our website. Alcedis GmbH is internally structured in such a way that only those persons are granted access to personal data who are entitled to do so within the scope of their operational assignments. All company employees are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of personal data pursuant to Art. 5 (1) (f) and Art. 32 (4) GDPR. The building and the equipment rooms are always locked and may only be accessed by employees who have a need to access them. Numerous internal policies regulate the handling of company resources and data. A list of processing activities pursuant to Art. 30 GDPR is used to document the procedures to process personal data, including the technical and organizational data protection measures that are applied.
The company Data Protection Officer monitors the proper use of data processing systems within the scope of his duties and advises the company on data protection issues.
IX Data transmission and collaboration with third parties
1 Collaboration with processors and third parties
If, during the course of our data processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (contractual processors or third parties), transmit data to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal consent (e.g., if the data is transmitted to third parties as required by the payment service provider pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) if you have indicated that you consented to a legal obligation or if such disclosure is made on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., due to the use of agents, web hosting services, etc.).
If we task processors with the processing of data, this shall be done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
2 Transmission of data to third countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or as part of the use of third party services or disclosure or transmission of data to third parties, this is done only to fulfill our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we either process or hire a contractor to process data in a third country only in compliance with the special conditions of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. In other words, processing takes place on the basis of specific guarantees, such as an officially recognized level of data protection (e.g., in the U.S. through the Privacy Shield) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
3 Integration of the services and content of third parties
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we make use of third-party content or service offerings in order to improve our online content and services, including videos or fonts (hereinafter collectively referred to as “content”).

The “pixel tags” enable the analysis of information such as the traffic of visitors on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information about the use of our online offering. It may also be linked to such information from other sources.
We engage hosting services to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, and security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.
In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, and metadata and communication data of customers, potential customers, and visitors to this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing an effective and secure online offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of an agreement for order processing).

Privacy matters outside the USA are the responsibility of LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time you visit our website, which contains a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plugin), this component will retrieve the corresponding version of the LinkedIn component and display it in the visitor’s browser. You can find more information about LinkedIn plug-ins at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins.

The legal basis for data processing, if the user’s consent to this has been obtained, is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Otherwise, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The processing of personal data from social media plugins helps us to connect our website to such social networks as Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus (development of social marketing channels), thereby generating new website visitors. In the event that social media plugins are used, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest to process the data.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our record-keeping purposes.
You have the right at any time, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to contest the processing of your personal data that is processed pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR.
