3. For what purposes and on what legal basis do we process personal data?
We collect and process personal data concerning you for the purpose of managing your application for an employment relationship, insofar as this is necessary for our decision to establish an employment relationship with you. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR (§ 26 BDSG German Federal Data Protection Act of 30 June 2017).
Furthermore, we may process personal data concerning you insofar as this is necessary to defend ourselves against legal claims asserted against us deriving from the application process. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR, the legitimate interest is, for example, a burden of proof regarding equal treatment.
In case an employment relationship between you and us should be established, we may, based on Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR (§ 26 BDSG), process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship if this is necessary for carrying out or terminating the employment contract or to exercise or satisfy rights and obligations of employees’ representation laid down by law or by collective agreements or other agreements between the employer and employee representation.
4. What categories of personal data do we process?
We process data in connection with your application for employment. This may include general information concerning you (such as your name, address and contact details), information about your professional qualifications and schooling or information about professional training or other information you provide us with in connection with your application.
5. What categories of recipients of data exist?
Your application and your submitted data will be received by the Human Resources Manager (HR Manager) of the country chosen by you and be accessible only for the persons involved in the Evaluation and Hiring Process who are under strict confidentiality obligation. We may transfer your personal data to the HR managers of companies affiliated with us, insofar as this is possible within the scope of the data protection measures described under section 3 for the purposes and legal bases set out above. In addition, personal data are collected on our behalf on the basis of contracts in compliance with Art. 28 GDPR, in particular by host providers with their seat in the European Union.
6. Is transfer of the data to a third country intended?
(1) Your data will be received and processed in the Europan Union and be subject to the rules of the European GDPR. The data may be transferred within the European Union. This also applies to Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland.
(2) Your data may be transferred and/or processed in a country outside the European Union, but only in compliance with the rules of the European GDPR. This means that the transfer is permitted in compliance with a EU-decision on ”Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries” or (in case of non-existence of such EU-decision) on binding contracts identical with EU Model Contracts granting data protection complying with European standard.
a. The European Commission has so far recognised Andorra, Argentina, Canada (commercial organisations), Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay and the United States of America (limited to the Privacy Shield framework) as providing adequate protection. For Japan the adoption procedure of the adequacy decision has been launched.
b. In case of compliancy based on a binbding contract, a copy of the applicable contract will be furnished to you upon request addressed to the data controller named in lit. 1 above, for instance also by e-mail to dataprotection@tfl.com.
7. How long will your data be stored?
We store your personal data for as long as it is necessary in order to make a decision about your application. If an employment relationship between you and us does not materialise, we may also further store data, insofar as this is necessary to defend against possible legal claims. The application documents will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless longer storage is required due to legal disputes, or you expressly agree with longer storage.
8. What data protection rights can you assert as a data subject?
Using the above mentioned address you can request information about the data stored concerning your person. In addition, under certain circumstances you may request the correction or deletion of your data. You may also have a right to receive the information you have provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable and interoperable format.
If we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you may object to such processing for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process your personal information, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for its processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the processing is based on consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. You can contact us about this at any time using the above data.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or where the infringement is suspected, if you believe that the processing of personal data that concerns you is in contravention of the GDPR.
9. Necessity of providing personal data
The provision of personal data is neither required by law nor by contract, nor are you obliged to provide your personal data. However, the provision of personal data is required for the application process or the conclusion of a contract of employment between you and us. This means that if you do not provide us with the required personal data in the application process, we will not enter into an employment relationship with you.
10. No automated decision making
There is no automated decision in individual cases within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR, i.e. the decision on the outcome of your application is not based exclusively on automated processing.
