Data required to make the decision leading to the establishment of the employment relationship:

As part of the application process, we process personal data from you that we need to make the decision leading to the establishment of an employment relationship with you. In particular, this includes your contact data, such as your name and address, as well as all data related to the application, such as your curriculum vitae, certificates, qualifications, answers to questions, etc. If you apply for reimbursement of travel expenses, we also require your bank details.

The legal basis for the processing of your data results from Art. 88 (1) GDPR in conjunction with Sect. 26 BDSG (Germany), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Romania, France), Chapter 2: Art. 6 (1) (b) UK GDPR (United Kingdom), CCPA (California, USA) or from the purpose of the application procedure (Switzerland).

If you  voluntarily provide us with additional personal data or if we obtain data about you from publicly available sources for professional purposes (e.g. , LinkedIn, XING as well as your professional website, blog or portfolio) we will process this data based on  Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. IGEL has a legitimate interest in assessing the suitability of the candidate for the role and verifying the information provided (e.g., in the CV).

Data deletion:

The data will be deleted as soon as storage is no longer necessary for the purpose and the statutory retention period (or the legitimate interest in the storage) has expired. If a candidate is not hired at the end of the recruitment process, their personal data will be deleted in accordance with applicable local statutory provisions on retention.

In certain cases, individual data may be stored for longer periods (e.g. travel expense reports) based on deviating local statutory retention periods and could be retained for up to 10 years. Further storage of your data is also permitted insofar as further processing is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims after we have weighed up the interests involved.

If you are not hired within this application process but your application is still of interest to us, we will ask for your consent to continue retaining your application data for future job openings for a maximum period of 12 months. This longer retention period takes place on the basis of your revocable consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a), Art. 7 GDPR (Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Romania), Art. 6 (1) (a) UK GDPR (United Kingdom), CCPA (California, USA) or from the purpose of the application procedure (Switzerland). You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to legal@igel.com.

Recipients of your data:

We treat your data confidentially. If necessary, we use service providers who are strictly bound by instructions, who support us e.g. in the areas of electronic applicant management or the archiving and destruction of documents and with whom separate contracts for data processing have been concluded.

We use HiBob (HiBob GmbH, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 29A, 10178, Berlin, Germany) as an applicant management system. If, in the course of processing, your data is transferred to HiBob in the USA, those transfers are secured by the EU standard contractual clauses (SCC) with HiBob and its certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

Your rights:

Under the GDPR you have certain rights relating to the processing of your personal data.

  • Right of information (Art. 15 GDPR)
    You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by IGEL, and, where that is the case, you have the right to be informed about the scope of personal data processed by us.

  • Right to rectification and erasure (Art. 16 and 17 GDPR):
    You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, if necessary, the right to have incomplete personal data completed.
    You also have the right to request the erasure of the personal data concerning you without undue delay, if one of the reasons listed in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer necessary for the intended purpose. If your data was transferred to third parties while processing, we will initiate the necessary steps to delete those copies of your data as well.
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR):
    If one of the conditions set forth in Art. 18 GDPR applies, you shall have the right to restrict the processing of your data to simple storage.

We will then no longer process your personal data, unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for processing, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
    Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider the processing of the data concerning you infringes data protection regulations.
