Thank you for your interest in our vacancies. When you apply to us, we process the personal data you provide. This includes in particular your personal details (e.g. first and last name, title, date of birth, address, e-mail address, telephone number, cover letter, CV), data on the selected job advertisement or the position you are applying for (e.g. job title) and data on qualifications (e.g. education, professional experience, certificates, language skills). Please note that the specific data we process depends on the information you provide.

It is also possible that we have legitimately received this data from third parties (e.g. personnel consultants or personnel service providers).

Nature and purposes of the processing:

Your personal data will be processed for the purposes of processing your application/checking your suitability for an advertised position, making contact and keeping records (if you have given your consent).

If an employment relationship is concluded, you will be informed separately about the processing of your data in the context of your employment relationship.

In order for your application to be processed, you must provide the personal data required for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. Applicants are not obliged to provide us with personal data; however, if no data is provided, we will not be able to process applications. Please do not provide us with any special categories of data in your application documents (e.g. religious confession or data on physical disabilities), as we do not require these for the application process.

Should a legal dispute arise in the course of the application process, the personal data required for this will be used for appropriate legal prosecution.

In the event that we intend to (further) process your data for other purposes, we will inform you separately and, if required by law, obtain your consent to do so.

Legal basis:
In principle, we process your personal data on the basis of the implementation of pre-contractual measures or for the fulfillment of the contract in accordance with Art 6 para 1 lit b GDPR or to safeguard our legitimate interests in accordance with Art 6 para 1 lit f GDPR (evaluation of suitability for an employment relationship). Where applicable, processing is also based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f in conjunction with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. f GDPR (assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims). Insofar as processing cannot be based on the aforementioned legal bases, it is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; if applicable, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR), for example when keeping records of your application.

Who receives your applicant data?

Within our company, only those persons and departments will receive your personal data that require it for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship (e.g. the relevant specialist department to which you have applied). Should a legal dispute arise in the course of the application process, the necessary personal data will be transmitted to legal representatives and authorities for the purpose of appropriate legal prosecution. We may also transfer personal data to our processors (e.g. IT service providers) in the course of the application process. We only work with processors that offer sufficient guarantees for secure data processing. Otherwise, your data will not be transferred to any other recipients. A transfer to third countries is not planned.

Storage period:
The data required to process your application/check your suitability for an advertised position (employment/service/apprenticeship) will generally be stored for a period of seven months from rejection of the application on the basis of the applicable legal provisions. Your consent will be obtained in advance for any longer retention of your application (a further 2 years). Any further storage will only take place if this is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the fulfillment of our obligations or is required by law/authorities.

Withdrawal of your consent:
You can withdraw your consent for your application to be kept on file at any time by sending an email to office@audio-mobil.com. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.

3. do we pass on your data?

We may transfer personal data to other departments or companies of the starlim and sterner Group(https://www.starlim-sterner.com/kontakt/standorte/), which support us in managing our accounting and complying with our legal and tax obligations, or to third parties such as legal advisors, tax advisors, auditors or other business partners (e.g. logistics partners for the execution and processing of deliveries) only to the extent necessary and permissible for the above-mentioned purposes (e.g. for orders via the web store). Furthermore, your personal data may also be processed on our behalf by our processors (e.g. IT service providers or payment providers). These processors are contractually obliged to comply with data protection regulations.

Otherwise, unless expressly stated otherwise in this data protection information, we will not pass on your personal data to third parties unless this is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the fulfillment of our obligations or is required by law/authorities. Possible recipients in this case may be legal representatives, competent authorities, offices and courts.

If the recipients listed above are located in countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (in so-called "third countries"), data protection regulations may apply there that do not guarantee the same level of data protection as in your country of residence. There may be a risk that your data may be collected and processed by local authorities and that your rights as a data subject may not be enforced. A transfer will therefore only take place in accordance with the legal requirements if there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission for the third country, appropriate guarantees have been agreed with the recipient (e.g. EU standard contractual clauses have been concluded), the recipient participates in an approved certification system, binding internal data protection regulations pursuant to Art 47 GDPR exist or an exception pursuant to Art 49 GDPR exists (e.g. because the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract concluded between you and us or you have expressly consented to the transfer).

4. how long will your data be stored?

Unless a different storage period is expressly stated, your personal data will be deleted as soon as we no longer need it for the purposes described above, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations or other (legally justified) reasons that make continued storage of your data necessary.

5. your rights

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the GDPR:

  • You can request information about the processing of your data (Art. 15 GDPR);
  • You can request the correction of incorrect data (Art. 16 GDPR);
  • If necessary, you can request the deletion of your data (Art. 17 GDPR);
  • If necessary, you can request the restriction of the processing of your data (Art. 18 GDPR);
  • If necessary, you can object to the processing if there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR);
  • If necessary, you can request the transfer of your data in a common format if you have provided us with this data (Art. 20 GDPR);
  • If the processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, irrespective of any further consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the data processed on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.
  • You can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.

Please note that we may not always be obliged to comply with a request for erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing or data portability. This is subject to the legal requirements and a case-by-case assessment. If you have any questions regarding your personal data, please contact us at office@audio-mobil.com.
