Processing of (personal) data by the entity in charge of the online application process

Privacy information for applicants

We would like to inform you below about data processing in connection with your application. The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") for the processing of applicant data is

nextbike GmbH 
Erich-Zeigner-Allee 69-73
04229 Leipzig
E-Mail: kundenservice@nextbike.de
Service: +49 (0) 30 69205046

You can contact our data protection officer at datenschutz@nextbike.de. We expressly point out that when using the e-mail address, the contents are not exclusively taken note of by our data protection officer. If you wish to exchange confidential information, please ask to be contacted directly via this e-mail address or by post ("Attn: Data Protection Officer").

We use the personal data that you provide to us throughout the application process (e.g. in cover letters, CVs, references, applicant questionnaires, applicant interviews). We may also process personal data that we have legitimately obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. professional social networks), recruitment agencies or contact with references. Data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 88 GDPR, Section 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG for the purpose of carrying out the application procedure ("Entscheidung über die Begründung eines Beschäftigtenverhältnisses"). The data may also include special categories of personal data (such as health data, religious affiliation, degree of disability), insofar as you have voluntarily provided us with this information. In this respect, data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 88 GDPR, Section 26 (3) BDSG. However, we would like to evaluate all applicants only according to their qualifications and therefore ask you to refrain from providing such information in your application if possible.

We will delete your data once the application process has been completed. An application procedure is completed when the period has expired in which legal action for violation of the AGG (General Equal Treatment Act) can still be expected (generally six months after the rejection has been sent, if no legal action or assertion in accordance with Section 15 (4) AGG has been received by then). If your application is successful, your data will be transferred to the personnel file if necessary and permissible. We may use external service providers who work exclusively on our behalf and are not permitted to process data for their own purposes, and in this context we transfer personal data to these service providers, e.g. IT service providers, assessment centers, recruitment agencies and personnel consultants, external consultants in the event of a suitability assessment procedure and, if necessary, lawyers in the event of a dispute. In particular, we use the personnel and application platform of Personio SE & Co. KG, Seidlstr. 3, 80335 Munich, Germany.

We do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR. In addition to the right to revoke your consent given to us, you have the right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR if the respective legal requirements are met, the right to rectification under Art. 16 GDPR, the right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing under Art. 18 GDPR, the right to object under Art. 21 GDPR and the right to data portability under Art. 20 GDPR. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authorities in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.

Processing of (personal) data by the operator of the recruitment website

General information

This recruitment website is operated by Personio SE & Co. KG, which offers a human resource and candidate management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. The sole controller of this data within the meaning of article 24 of the GDPR is the enterprise carrying out this online application process. Personio’s role is limited to operating the software and this recruitment website and, in this context, being a processor under article 28 of the GDPR. In this case, the processing by Personio is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between the controller and Personio. In addition, Personio SE & Co. KG processes further data, some of which may be personal data, to provide its services, in particular for operating this recruitment website. We will refer to this in more detail below.

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Use of cookies

So-called cookies are used on parts of this recruitment website. They are small text files which are stored on the device with which you access this recruitment website. As a general rule, cookies serve the purpose of ensuring secure access to a website (“absolutely necessary”), implementing certain functionalities such as standard-language settings (“functional”), improving the user experience or the performance of the website (“performance”), or placing targeted advertisements (“marketing”). On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR). Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.

Rights of data subjects

If Personio SE & Co. KG as the controller processes personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object (article 21 of the GDPR). If the personal data is processed with your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent under article 7 III of the GDPR.

In this case, the new data privacy statement applies to any later visit of this recruitment website or any later job application.
