2. Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us. In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

If you are interviewed by us in a job interview or take part in an assessment, we may include a short evaluation in the database. Of course, this evaluation will not contain any defamatory or derogatory statements; only information that is specifically related to the evaluation and the recruitment process or your job profile will be included. An assessment will also be made and stored in the database as part of the coordination between HR and the hiring department to check your application profile for the advertised position.

In the course of the application process, we may also ask you further questions, e.g. about your willingness to travel, your driving license or your language skills. We process the data that you provide to us in this context. We also process the data that you send us when you contact us by E-Mail.

Application documents may contain special categories of personal data. According to Art. 9 GDPR, special categories of personal data are personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious (e.g. information on religious affiliation/denomination) or philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, as well as the processing of biometric data for unique identification (e.g. photographs), health data (e.g. information on the degree of severe disability) or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation. If your CV contains special categories of personal data, we do not intentionally collect them. We expressly request that you do not send us such data with your CV.

Purposes and legal basis of data processing

We process your personal data for the following purposes and on the basis of the following legal basis:

Data processing for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship pursuant to Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR (in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 para. 1 sentence 1 BDSG) or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR
If you apply to us, we process the data collected as part of the application process for the purpose of carrying out the application process.

We base our decisions in the application process on the personal data provided by you within the framework of the legal requirements. For example, we use your professional qualifications to decide whether to consider you in the shortlisting process or a personal impression in a job interview to decide whether to offer you the position for which you have applied.

Data processing based on your consent in accordance with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 2 BDSG or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR
If you give us your consent for data processing, we process your data in accordance with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 2 BDSG or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

We also process all personal data that you provide to us as optional information (not marked as mandatory) within the application form in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent, as the provision of the information is not mandatory.

Data processing of special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR based on your consent pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR
If, as part of your application documents, you voluntarily and contrary to our express request provide us with special categories of personal data in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR (e.g. information on your religious affiliation/denomination), we will store this data on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR. This also applies if you provide us with further special personal data in the course of the application process.

By voluntarily submitting this data and by accepting this privacy policy, you consent to the storage of this special personal data as part of the application process.

As a matter of principle, we do not take this special personal data into account when making a selection decision, unless it is necessary to take this special personal data into account due to a legal obligation. For example, in some job advertisements, people with disabilities may be given preferential treatment in accordance with the applicable laws.

In these cases, the information is always voluntary and is provided with your express consent, which you give by voluntarily submitting this data and accepting this privacy policy.

If the use of personal data from the application process is necessary for the defense, exercise or enforcement of claims, we use the personal data required for this purpose to safeguard our legitimate interests in the defense, exercise and enforcement of claims on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Candidate profile

To submit your application, a candidate profile is created. You can manage and update your data in your profile.

Select the open positions for which your application should be considered

When applying via our job portal, you have three options for how your data should be used. You can change this selection at any time after your application via your candidate profile. The options are as follows:

"All ALTANA recruiters worldwide (recommended - increases the visibility of your profile within our recruiting teams)” ("Variant 3" below):
to consider me for job openings worldwide

Below we inform you about how we process your data depending on the option you have chosen:

Variant 1: "Only recruiters who are responsible for the job openings I have applied for”

b) Data access
The persons authorized to fill vacancies within the ALTANA Group have access to the personal data stored in your candidate profile, depending on the job opening(s) for which you have applied. Your personal data will be accessible to the respective HR managers within the ALTANA Group and will be made available to selected hiring managers in individual cases. Within the framework of our matrix organization, these may also be managers from other Group companies, i.e. who are not employed by the company in the position advertised.

Your data will be used exclusively for the application process for the job opening(s) for which you have expressly applied. The data will not be passed on to any ALTANA Group company that is not involved in your selection process.

If you have opted for this option, please continue reading in chapter 4.

Variant 2: "All ALTANA recruiters in my country"
Your data may be forwarded to all companies of the ALTANA Group to fill vacancies within the country in which you reside. Your data will expressly not be forwarded to fill vacancies outside your country of residence.

In addition, recruiters from other ALTANA Group companies can access your data from your candidate profile in order to consider you for other positions within your country of residence. The data cannot be viewed by ALTANA Group companies outside your country of residence.

For internal applicants, this option also means that your application will also be visible to the recruiting managers of the company where you are currently employed.

If you have decided on this option, please continue reading in chapter 4.

Variant 3: " All ALTANA recruiters worldwide (recommended - increases the visibility of your profile within our recruiting teams)”
Your data can be forwarded worldwide within the ALTANA Group to fill job openings. There is no restriction to certain countries.

Your personal data is accessible to the respective HR managers within the ALTANA Group and is made available to selected hiring managers in individual cases. Within the framework of our matrix organization, these may also be managers from other Group units and Group companies, i.e. who are not employed by the position being advertised.

In addition, recruiters from other ALTANA Group companies worldwide can access your data from your candidate profile in order to consider you for other job openings worldwide. By submitting your application, you show us your interest in employment with a company of the ALTANA Group and provide us with your personal data beyond your specific application for the purpose of filling a position. In this respect, we will use your personal data within ALTANA worldwide for the search for suitable applicants. For this reason, personal data may be transferred across national borders. The data you provide in your candidate profile may therefore be collected, stored, processed, evaluated and forwarded by the persons responsible for recruiting for ALTANA companies in the following countries of the ALTANA Group if you are suitable:

The companies of the ALTANA Group collect, process and use the personal data you provide exclusively for the purpose of your application.

Inclusion in the candidate pool

If we do not make you a job offer, you may have the option of being included in our candidate pool. This is a database in which your candidate data is stored so that we can contact you directly in the future if a suitable job opening arises. If you are accepted, all documents and details from your application will be transferred to the candidate pool so that we can contact you if a suitable job opening arises.

Inclusion in the candidate pool is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the candidate pool, provided there are no legal grounds for retention.

The data from the candidate pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.

4. General notes and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these websites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by E-Mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

ALTANA AG
Abelstrasse 43
46483 Wesel
Germany

Phone: +49 281 670-8
E-Mail: info@altana.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, E-Mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). The data will then be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. The retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Data may also be stored for longer if you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Data Protection Officer

We have appointed a data protection officer.

ALTANA AG
Data Protection Officer
Abelstrasse 43
46483 Wesel
Germany

Phone: +49 281 670-8
E-Mail: Datenschutz.Altana@altana.com

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Consent to data transfer within the Group

By giving your consent, you agree that we may transfer your personal data to other Group companies, both nationally and globally. This transfer takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent, in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations and the ALTANA data protection framework agreement.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the review.
If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising E-Mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam E-Mails.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

6. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that enables us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store any cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. It is only used to manage and display the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google's parent company in the United States.

The Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The company is certified in accordance with the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA.

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors.

This data is summarized in a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.

We can also use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data records and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization

Google Analytics IP anonymization is activated. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
