Google Recaptcha
Vedra also uses "Google Recaptcha" on the basis of consent for the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimisation of our offer. Google Recaptcha is a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Among other things, Google Recaptcha uses "cookies" (text files) and similar technologies that are stored on your end device and enable your use of the website to be analysed. This information is used to evaluate your use of the website / app, to compile reports on website or app activities and to optimise the display of advertising. The processing of the data after its transmission by Vedra to Google Ireland Limited is carried out by Google as the sole controller under data protection law. In this context, Google Ireland Limited, as the sole controller under data protection law, may store data about you in the USA. The European Court of Justice has ruled that the USA is a country with an inadequate level of data protection. In this context, there is a particular risk that your data will be processed by American institutions/authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you having sufficient legal recourse against this. On 10 July 2023, the EU Commission adopted the adequacy decision for the "EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework". This means that the EU Commission considers the level of data protection in the USA to be comparable to that in the EU and therefore secure for transfers based on the agreement. Google is certified in accordance with this and bases any data transfer to the USA on this. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). Further information on Google Recaptcha and Google's privacy policy can be found on their website. You can revoke your consent to the use of Google Recaptcha at any time. In general, your mobile device (mobile phone, tablet) has a function that allows you to opt in or out of some types of personalised advertising when using apps.
We collect your personal data for the application management in order to determine your suitability for the open position. We initially process personal data that you provide to us as part of the application/recruitment process. This applies in particular to your application documents. In addition, if necessary, we process personal data from third parties, e.g. a recruitment agency or public sources such as social or professional networks.
We process your data primarily to establish or initiate an employment relationship on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit b i. in conjunction with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR and Section 26 para. 1 BDSG. If you voluntarily provide us with special categories of personal data, we will only process these on the basis of your consent. The legal basis for this is Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a in conjunction with Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR.
If we reject your application, we will delete your data after 6 months.
The General Data Protection Regulation gives you the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), portability (Art. 20 GDPR), restriction of processing (blocking) (Art. 18 GDPR) and erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR). With regard to certain processing of your data, namely in relation to processing based on legitimate interest, you have the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR).
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data 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 defence of legal claims.
Furthermore, we would like to draw your attention to your general right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
If you have given VEDRA your consent to a specific processing of your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out until the revocation.
