<Data Protection

Your trust is important to us. This is why we attach great importance to maintaining a high level of data protection. We would therefore like to inform you about the categories of personal data we process, the purposes for which and the legal basis on which this processing takes place, how long we store your personal data, what rights you have in relation to this data, and whom you can contact with any questions or complaints. You can trust us with your data!

1. Purpose of Data Processing

Naturally, we require certain personal data from you in order to ensure an efficient application process. We process your personal data exclusively for the following purposes:

a) Conducting the application and recruitment process
b) Complying with any statutory or collective-law record-keeping, information and reporting obligations
c) Asserting or defending against legal claims
d) Contacting you at a later date if a suitable position matching your profile becomes available (only with your consent; see below)

2. Categories of Personal Data We Process

In addition to information about your professional background and career, we process your name, address, telephone number and email address so that we can contact you promptly.

We also process any other information that you provide to us as part of your application documents or during a job interview.

3. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The processing of your personal data is based on the following legal grounds:

Data processing for purpose 1a):
The processing of your personal data for this purpose is necessary in order to take pre-contractual measures – in particular to conduct the application process – initiated by your application to us and, where applicable, to enter into an employment contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

If you provide us with criminal record information as part of your application, we process such information for this purpose solely to safeguard a legitimate interest pursued by us or by a third party (§ 4(3) DSG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Data processing for purpose 1b):
The processing of your personal data for this purpose is necessary to enable us to comply with our legal obligations, in particular statutory and collective agreement requirements concerning record-keeping, disclosure and reporting (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

Data processing for purpose 1c):
The processing of your personal data for this purpose is based on our legitimate interest in asserting legal claims and defending ourselves against any legal claims (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Data processing for purpose 1d):
We process your personal data for this purpose only if you have expressly consented to such processing. You may refuse to provide your consent or withdraw your consent at any time by sending a message to the contact address provided below.

Refusing or withdrawing your consent will not affect your chances of obtaining the position for which you have applied. We process your personal data for this purpose on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

4. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

We treat your application as strictly confidential and generally process your application documents internally only.

We engage IT service providers to ensure the security and efficiency of our working environment. In connection with their services, these providers may have access to your personal data for the purposes described above (1a–1d).

In addition, we may disclose your personal data to our legal representatives and courts for the purpose described under 1c).

We do not transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area without your prior consent. Any consent granted may be withdrawn at any time.

5. Storage of Personal Data

We store your personal data only for as long as we reasonably consider necessary for the purposes specified under section 1 above, in particular until the vacant position has been successfully filled.

If you consent to the additional storage of your personal data for future job opportunities, we will retain your personal data until you withdraw this consent.

In any event, we store your personal data for as long as statutory retention obligations apply or limitation periods for potential legal claims have not yet expired, in particular the six-month limitation period for claims under the Austrian Equal Treatment Act (GlBG).

We may retain your personal data beyond these periods if and for as long as this is necessary to assert or defend against specific legal claims.

6. Voluntary Provision of Personal Data

Providing your personal data is voluntary but necessary in order to participate in the application process. If you do not provide the required data, we may not be able to process your application.
