Which data are processed? Where does the data come from (the data sources)?
Fabasoft processes personal data that has been collected directly from the data subject. In order to take part in the application process, the following personal data will be processed: Personal data that you have willingly provided through your application, for example: form of address, name, title, home address, date of birth, telephone number, email address, nationality, cover letter, motivation letter, CV, school and higher education details, employer references, proof of further study, professional history, photos and examples of work you have completed.
In addition to the personal data you willingly provided, Fabasoft maintains the right to acquire data from business platforms like XING and LinkedIn for the purpose of assessing your application. Fabasoft has a legitimate interest in this assessment.
Why is personal data processed and what is the legal basis for doing this?
- Processing in the context of the application process
In order to assess your application, it is necessary that staff in the recruitment team process your personal data. As well as the recruitment staff, who advertise new positions and to whom you will send your application, your data will be made available to a select number of Fabasoft’s human resource managers (line managers within the Group) so they can assess whether we can enter into an employment contract with you (cf. Art.6 Par. 1lit b GDPR).Other vacancies: Employees, who have been entrusted with the task of recruitment, are the main point of contact during the application process. As the documents provided in the application are assessed, it may transpire that the qualifications listed are more suitable for a different position within Fabasoft other than the one for which you have applied. If this is the case, you will receive a message from the recruitment team, as well as information on the proposed position. Your personal data will only be transferred to the relevant recruitment manager with your consent. If permission is not granted for this, your personal data will be processed within the context of your original application.
- Processing in the context of joining the talent pool
Candidates may join the talent pool after they provide consent. The talent pool is a platform that Fabasoft uses to stay in contact with applicants and people it has identified as having desirable skills. It is managed by Fabasoft International Services GmbH’s recruitment team. Following your permission, data will be transferred to Fabasoft’s other companies within the Group. People in the talent pool will receive targeted information about new and relevant vacancies.
- Data processing and consent
If Fabasoft receives permission to process personal data, the processing will be carried out in accordance with the objectives established when the permission was granted, for example: to sign up for the careers newsletter, for invitations to career events or for the transfer of personal data should other vacancies arise. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, but until this happens, the consequent data processing is considered legal.
Who receives the personal data?
As the processor, Fabasoft International Services GmbH provides the recruitment team for Fabasoft, as well as (human resources) marketing and communication services. The individual employees, departments and companies within Fabasoft, which require it for the above-mentioned purposes, will receive personal data. Furthermore, in exceptional circumstances, and only insofar as necessary, data may be transferred to certain officials (such as lawyers).
For how long is data stored?
Fabasoft stores your personal data, which was collected during the application process, for a period of 9 months after the application process has ended.
By consenting to join the talent pool, you are granting permission for your personal data to be stored for 3 years after joining Fabasoft’s talent pool.
Personal information, which was transferred to Fabasoft upon permission being granted (e.g. to receive the careers newsletter or invitations to career events) will be stored for a maximum of three years after the last activity, provided that it is not re-used before then.
Where is the data stored?
Fabasoft stores data on its own hardware in highly secure, external data centres in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
What are the data subject’s data protection rights?
You have the right to disclosure, correction, removal or restriction in the processing of the stored information. You have the right to object to the use of your personal information as well as the right to data portability in accordance with the requirements of the data protection law.
In the event that you withdraw consent to use your personal information, Fabasoft will immediately stop using this data, provided that the use of this data is solely based on your consent. Exceptions arise as a result of legal belongings, which render storing data necessary, but this is only in the event of the aforementioned obligations. The legitimacy of the processing, for which consent was granted, remains intact until the consent is withdrawn.
All Fabasoft companies may demand any of the rights outlined above through the following channels.
- By E-mail: privacy@fabasoft.com
