4. Is there an obligation to provide the data?
The provision of your data is not required by law. However, some of the aforementioned data is required in order to be able to set up a candidate profile and submit an application. Insofar as an employment contract is concluded between you and a DER Touristik Group company, the information you enter in your candidate profile will be forwarded to the HR department for the purpose of concluding the employment contract. The communication of other data is voluntary, but may be necessary for the use of certain services. This concerns, for example, data for setting up a job ticker for suitable jobs. We will inform you when entering data if the provision is required for the respective service or function. These data are marked as mandatory fields. In the case of required data, failure to provide it will result in the relevant service or function not being provided. In the case of optional data, failure to provide it may mean that we are unable to provide our services in the same form and to the same extent as usual.

5. For what purposes do we process your data and on what legal basis is this done?

5.1 Implementation of application procedures
You have the option of applying online for an advertised job or submitting a speculative application. The online application system is available to you for this purpose. The transmission of your data and the file attachments sent with it takes place via an encrypted connection. Your data will be received by the Human Resources department and forwarded to the department responsible for the advertised job or to the persons entrusted with handling the application process. The same applies if you send us an application by e-mail or post. All parties involved will treat your application documents with due care and confidentiality. We process the data you send us in connection with an application in order to check your suitability for the job (or, if applicable, other open positions in the DER Touristik Group company to which you are applying for a job or submitting an unsolicited application) and to carry out the application process. The legal basis for the data processing described above is Article 6 (1) letter b of the General Data Protection (decision on the establishment of an employment relationship).

If we conclude an employment contract with you, we will further process your data for purposes of the employment relationship if this is necessary for its implementation or termination. The legal basis for the data processing described above is Article 6 (1) (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (implementation of the employment relationship).

5.2 Defense of legal claims
We process your data insofar as this is necessary for the defense of asserted legal claims arising from the application process. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR (balancing of interests, based on the interest of the DER Touristik Group company to which you are applying for a job or submitting an unsolicited application, to be able to defend claims in proceedings.

5.3 Candidate Pool
If your application does not match the job profile you are looking for, but seems suitable for other jobs, you can agree to be included in our candidate pool. If you agree to be included in our candidate pool, we will process your data beyond a specific application process as described in 5.4. This enables recruiters to approach you at a later date with new jobs from DER Touristik Group companies that match your personal qualifications and interests. Consideration in such a new application process will only take place with your consent. You can edit, change or delete the information you have provided at any time. The legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (consent).

5.4 Signing of the employment contract by Docusign
If you are accepted, you will receive your employment contract from our HR partner. This can be done using the DocuSign software. For this purpose, your employment contract and the associated documents are uploaded in encrypted form and assigned to your name and e-mail address. You will then receive the documents by e-mail from the DocuSign software. When you open the envelope from your mailbox,w you are identified by your e-mail address and can sign the documents. When all parties have signed, you will receive the completed document including a DocuSign certificate by e-mail.
The legal basis for the described data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (contract) and Art. 6 (1) (f) our overriding legitimate interest in an efficient signing process.

6. Who has access to your data and for what reason?
Within the DER Touristik Group company to which you apply for a job or submit a speculative application, only persons who need your data to perform the tasks assigned to them will have access to it. This mainly concerns employees of the human resources department. If you have given your consent to be included in the candidate pool, all companies of DER Touristik Group may access your data in order to contact you if a suitable job is available. In addition, service providers who support us in fulfilling our tasks may have access to your data. These are service providers in the following categories:
- Hosting service providers for the operation of our servers

- IT service provider for supporting and providing our services

Service providers used by us must meet special confidentiality requirements. They are only granted access to your data to the extent and for the period of time required to perform their tasks.

We transfer your data to recipients outside the scope of the regulation of the EU-DSGVO and if there is neither an adequacy decision under Article 45(3) nor appropriate safeguards under Article 46, including binding internal data protection rules exist only to the extent that the transfer is necessary:

If necessary, the EU standard contractual clauses are supplemented by further contractual assurances. You can obtain information on this via the specified contact.

8. How long will the data be stored?
We store your data for as long as is necessary for the decision on your application. Insofar as an employment relationship does not come about, we may continue to store your data beyond this, insofar as this is necessary for the defense against possible legal claims. As a rule, application documents are deleted 4 weeks after notification of the rejection decision, unless longer storage is required due to legal disputes. If for any reason we think it is necessary to keep your application for a longer period, we need to ask you for permission. After your permission, we are aloud to have your application in our possession for a maximum of one year.

If we conclude an employment contract with you, we transfer your data from the application to our personnel information system. Otherwise, we delete your data after these periods or determine the deletion period according to these criteria:

Data protection information for business contact 

The controller processes your data to contact you. This information therefore applies to personal data provided to the controller in the course of its business or other activities by post, telephone, fax, e-mail or online. With this data protection information, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the processing as well as your rights as a data subject.

(Status: August 2022).

1. Purposes and legal basis of the processing of personal data 

1.1 Establishing contact within the scope of a business relationship

For the initiation or implementation of a business relationship, we will process in particular your contact data (name, address, telephone number and e-mail address), communication data (e.g. correspondence by e-mail), if applicable location data (IP address).

The legal basis for this processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (your consent) and lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures, performance of contract) if we receive the data directly from you or we enter into a direct contractual relationship with you.

If you are not an existing or potential business partner yourself, we have usually received your contact details from our business partner who has named you as a contact person. In this case, the processing of your data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (balancing of interests, based on our legitimate interest in contacting existing or potential business partners).

The provision of personal data about you for the purpose of contacting you in the context of a business relationship is on a voluntary basis. Insofar as your contact data is absolutely necessary for the initiation and fulfilment of a contract, you and must disclose your contact data, as otherwise the contract with you cannot be concluded.

1.2 Establishing contact within the framework of our public relations work

We also maintain databases with contact details of political, media and press representatives, among others, in order to be able to contact them on relevant issues, events, etc. as part of our public relations work. 

The processing of your personal data is based on your consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR), which you can give us in personal contact (e.g. by handing over your business card or via online form). For your right to withdraw consent, please see point 5.8.

We also collect contact details from public sources and enter them in our databases. The legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. (Weighing of interests, based on our legitimate interest in contacting political, media and press representatives, among others, as part of our public relations work).

2. Recipients of personal data

As a general rule, your data collected by us will not be disclosed to unauthorised persons. 

However, in some cases we use service providers to process personal data, including for sending emails, chats and video telephony. Your data (contact data, communication data, location data (IP address) is stored in a secure data center and databases. 

All service providers have been carefully selected and are subject to data protection agreements with us. The service providers are only given access to your data to the extent and for the period required to provide the services or to the extent that you have consented to the data processing and use. 

We also use service providers located in third countries outside the European Union to process your data. Countries outside the European Union handle the protection of personal data differently than countries within the European Union. There is currently no decision by the EU Commission that these third countries generally offer an adequate level of protection. We have therefore taken special measures to ensure that your data is processed in the third countries as securely as within the European Union. With service providers in third countries, we conclude the data protection contract (standard contractual clauses) provided by the Commission of the European Union for the processing of personal data in third countries or implement other permissible guarantees or legally permissible exceptions from Art. 49 GDPR. This provides appropriate safeguards for the protection of your data with service providers in the third country. You can request a copy of these guarantees using the contact details above.

3. Storage period; deletion periods

We store the data processed by you for as long as it is required to achieve the purpose and a legal basis exists. When this ceases to apply, your data will generally be deleted within 1 month. In addition, your data will be stored/not deleted for as long as contractual or statutory retention periods exist for them. These amount to a maximum of  years in accordance with the Dutch law

4 Automated decision-making; profiling

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.
