If your application is successful, you will be required to register in our Workday Recruiting System and create a user account in order to continue the hiring process.


From which sources your personal data originates

We generally collect your personal data directly from you.


Is there an obligation to provide the personal data?

You are not obligated to provide us with the personal data, but the data collected is necessary for the application process. Failure to provide it will result in an application procedure not being able to take place. If you provide us with data that we have not requested from you for the application process, this is done freely.


For applicants applying in the EU:

The legal basis for processing your personal data as part of the application process is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the initiation of a contractual relationship as well as the fulfillment of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to make the application process and the search for a suitable candidate simple and efficient.

You are entitled to object to the processing of your personal data based on the legitimate interest. For this purpose, you can contact the respective HEIDELBERG company to which you are applying. If you object to the processing, we may no longer be able to continue the application process.


Other processing operations within the scope of legitimate interest

For other processing within the scope of legitimate interest, personal data may be disclosed to the judiciary, authorities, legal representation, insurance companies and necessary companies, e.g., internet providers, cloud service providers or security service providers.

Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data

Internal:

Recipients of the personal data contained in the application documents are

  • The respective responsible HR managers,
  • the decision-makers in the respective departments as well as
  • the personnel representatives of our company

External:

We may transfer your personal data to companies affiliated with us, insofar as this is permissible within the framework of the purposes and legal bases for data processing set out under "Purposes, categories of data and legal bases for data processing" or you have given us your consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para 1 lit. a GDPR.

You have the option to revoke this consent at any time. To do so, you can contact the HEIDELBERG company to which you have applied.

If commissioned service providers have access to personal data and this constitutes data processing on behalf, a data processing agreement has been concluded with the service providers, which also considers regulations for possible subcontractors.

Duration or criteria for the duration of storage

We store your personal data for as long as necessary to pursue the respective processing purpose or as we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it. We always delete personal data, considering legal retention obligations, as soon as there is no longer any obligation to continue storing it.

Personal data that we process based on consent will be processed by us for as long as the wording of the consent permits or until the consent of the data subject is revoked. Unless otherwise stated in the consent, we keep proof of consent and opt-out for 3 years after the end of processing in order to demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations.

In addition, we store personal data relevant to the defense or assertion of legal claims until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for three years from the end of the year in which the claim arose, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.


No creditworthiness information and automated decisions, incl. profiling.

We do not perform any check or assessment of your creditworthiness. Nor do we pass on any such data to third parties (e.g., credit agencies). We also do not make any automated decisions in individual cases.
