In this case, we will inform you about the processing procedure of your personal data and inform you about the logic involved and the possible consequences of such automated decision-making and processing procedures. In general, the logic for automated decision-making is based on the minimum requirements of the job description and the conformity of your suitability, qualification and experience with these requirements. A possible consequence of this automated decision-making process is that your application may be rejected if your profile does not meet these requirements. If we use automated methods, you can claim your right to intervention by a person from B&R to present your own point of view and the right to challenge the decision by sending a request to www.abb.com/privacy.

On what legal basis do we process your personal data? We process your personal data for the purposes described above (in Question 3) in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act, especially in accordance with the following applicable legal bases: We process your personal data primarily for the purpose of establishing, maintaining or terminating an employment relationship with you as well as enforcing rights and fulfilling obligations arising from your employment contract on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b) of the GDPR. If we process your personal data (including special categories of personal data) for the purpose of exercising rights or fulfilling legal obligations under employment, social security and social protection law, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) c) and 9 (2) b), f) and h) of the GDPR. If we process your personal data (including special categories of personal data) for the purpose of health care, occupational medicine or the assessment of your work ability and if your data is processed by health care professionals or other persons subject to professional secrecy, the legal basis is Art. 9 (2) h) of the GDPR. In cases where we process your personal data on the basis of other legal provisions and obligations, for example, with regard to allowances and tax, reporting or notification obligations, cooperation obligations with authorities or legal retention periods to fulfill other contractual and legal obligations as an employer and company, the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) c) of the GDPR. Where required, we process your personal data within the scope of our employment relationship with you in order to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties. This is done in the context of balancing interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) of the GDPR, according to which processing is permissible if it is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and if the interests or basic rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, do not prevail. Such legitimate interests may include the following processing purposes: Monitoring (e.g. by IT systems), checking and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory standards and ABB's and B&R's internal specifications and guidelines Prevention of fraud and criminal activity, including verification of such activity, misuse of B&R's assets, products and services and where strictly necessary and appropriate to ensure network and data security Establishment, exercise and defense of legal claims by and against B&R in connection with your work tasks and obligations at B&R Transfer of personal data within the B&R Group for internal administrative purposes, wherever necessary, for example, to provide decentralized services To obtain a copy of our assessment of our legitimate interest in processing your personal data, including documented balancing of interests, please send a request to www.abb.com/privacy. In exceptional cases and insofar as we process your personal data (including special categories of personal data) for purposes that are not covered by the aforementioned legal bases, we require your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) and 9 (2) a) of the GDPR as the legal basis for processing your personal data, for example if we want to store and process your personal data for other or future jobs and applications, surveys in connection with the application process or job newsletters on future jobs. If we send you this information via email, we may require further consent under applicable law in accordance with Art. 107 (2) of the Austrian Telecommunication Act. Your consent is always given on a voluntary basis, i.e. you are not obliged to provide your personal data and need not fear any disadvantages if you refuse to give your consent. You can also withdraw your consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 (3) of the GDPR without giving reasons. If we ask for your consent to the purpose-related use of your personal data, we will inform you of your right to object and about the possibility to exercise your right to object. We will only process personal data related to criminal convictions or offenses in accordance with (national) applicable law. 5. Who receives and processes your personal data (within and outside the EU and EEA)? We will only share your personal data with employees and third parties directly involved in the recruitment process, in particular in the country in which you have applied for the job or in countries directly involved in the respective recruitment process. As part of a global corporation, we have business relationships with companies in the B&R Group and external service providers, both within and outside the European Economic Area (EEA), which we may also use to process your personal data. We will generally only share your personal data with other B&R companies or third parties if this is necessary for the purposes listed in the table below. In this regard, your personal data may also be made available to companies of the B&R Group in countries within and outside of the EEA for the aforementioned processing purposes. In addition, when processing your personal data for the aforementioned purposes, we may use external service providers as data processors (e.g. computer centers, software companies and marketing automation providers). They are generally used with binding instructions within the framework of an existing contractual relationship and receive your personal data only to the extent and for the period of time required to provide the service. If we share your personal data with a B&R company or third party and it is transferred or becomes accessible outside the European Union ("EU") and the European Economic Area ("EEA") or outside the country of your employer, we will protect your personal data with appropriate safeguards. Examples of such safeguards include decisions on adequacy of protection by the European Commission or Standard Contractual Clauses. We have taken additional measures to protect your personal data when it is transferred outside the EU, EEA or country of the employer. If you would like an overview of the safeguards applied, please send a request to www.abb.com/privacy.

How long do we process and store your personal data? We generally process and store your personal data only as long as is necessary for the processing purposes stated in this notice, until you withdraw your consent granted under Art. 6 (1) a) of the GDPR or until you object to the use of your personal data if a legitimate interest is the legal basis for processing (Art. 6 (1) f) of the GDPR). However, legal provisions require B&R to store certain personal data for minimum retention periods. This concerns, for example, employment contracts, information about remuneration and reimbursement of costs, for which minimum retention periods apply on the basis of company and tax law regulations. In addition, national anti-discrimination laws such as the Austrian Federal Equal Treatment Act, which gives you specific rights in connection with the recruitment process, require that we store your personal data for the period during which you can make claims on the basis of anti-discrimination laws. At the same time, the applicable data protection laws require that we store and process your personal data in a form that identifies you for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the personal data was collected and that we carry out regular checks in this regard. Although there may be limited exceptions due to national legal provisions (e.g. tax or commercial law), your personal data will generally be processed for the following retention periods: If your application has been rejected, the recruitment process ends with the rejection notification and your personal data will be stored and processed for another 6 months, for example in Austria, unless you have given us your consent to consider you for future jobs and to store and process your personal data for these purposes. If your application has been successful, the recruitment process ends with the conclusion of your employment contract and we will continue to process your personal data for the duration of this contract and/or the retention periods specified in the privacy notice applicable to you and your employment contract. If you have given us your consent to consider you for further job offers and to store and process your personal data for these purposes, we will store and process your personal data for a maximum retention period of 24 months. After the applicable retention period has expired, we will delete your personal data or make it anonymous, unless there are special circumstances that require us to retain your personal data, such as legal or regulatory requirements or legal disputes in connection with your employment. Through settings in IT systems and guidelines, we ensure that your personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed. For further information about the retention periods applicable to your personal data, please send a request to www.abb.com/privacy. 7. Which rights do you have with regard to your personal data?

Under certain circumstances, we may have to restrict these rights of data subjects in order to safeguard the public interest (e.g. the prevention or detection of criminal offenses) or our business interests (e.g. maintaining legal privilege). Should you not be satisfied with our response or believe we are processing your personal data unlawfully, you may also contact the Data Protection Authority in your country of residence or work or in which you believe the data breach may have taken place in accordance with your right to lodge a complaint per Art. 77 of the GDPR.

Right to rectification: In accordance with Art. 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to request that we rectify your personal data without delay if it is incorrect. This right is subject to the restrictions set out in Art. 4 (2) of the Austrian Data Protection Act, according to which, in the event that the correction of personal data processed with the aid of automation cannot be carried out immediately because it is only possible at certain times for economic or technical reasons, the processing of the personal data in question must be restricted with the effect of Art. 18 (2) of the GDPR until this point in time. Right to erasure: You have the right to request us to delete your personal data under the conditions set out in Art. 17 of the GDPR. These conditions are particularly met if a) the respective processing purpose has been achieved or otherwise ceases to apply, b) we have processed your data unlawfully, c) you have withdrawn your consent without the data processing being able to be continued on another legal basis, d) you successfully object to the data processing or e) in cases where there is an obligation to delete the data on the basis of EU law or the law of an EU member state to which we are subject.

Right to restrict processing: In accordance with Art. 18 of the GDPR, you can request that we only process your personal data to a limited extent. This right exists in particular under the conditions that a) the accuracy of the personal data is disputed, b) you request limited processing instead of deletion under the conditions of a justified request for deletion, c) the data is no longer necessary for the purposes we pursue, but you need the data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or d) the success of an objection is still disputed.

Right to object: In accordance with Art. 21 of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, either in the public interest or to safeguard our legitimate interests.

If you object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes, we will stop processing your data in any case. 8.
