We process the personal data you provide in the context of the application process solely for the purpose of selecting and hiring candidates. The legal basis for this process is art. 6 para. 1(a) and art. 9 para. 2 para. a) of the GDPR (for health data, if applicable), consent expressed by the submission of the application. During the actual recruitment stage, when Schwarz Global Services carries out activities specific to the recruitment process in relation to candidates of interest, other than CV analysis, such as interviews, tests, phone calls, Schwarz Global Hub processes the data based on its legitimate interest to perform and document the specific steps of the recruitment process and to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements (e.g. avoidance of discrimination), pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Pursuant to Article 15(1) GDPR, you have the right to request information, free of charge, on the personal data stored about you. This particularly includes:
• the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
• the categories of personal data that are being processed;
• the recipients or categories of recipient to whom personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;
• the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if it is not possible to give any specific details, the criteria used to determine the storage duration;
• the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to request from the controller that processing be restricted or a right to object to this processing;
• the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; all available information regarding the origin of the data if the personal data is not being collected from the data subject;
• the existence of any automated decision-making processes including profiling pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information regarding the logic involved as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
If personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organization, you have the right to be notified about appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
You have the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
You have the right to obtain from us the erasure of any personal data concerning you without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
• the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
• you withdraw your consent on which the processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR was based and there is no other legal ground for the processing;
• you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) or (2) GDPR, and in the case of Article 21(1) GDPR there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing;
• the personal data was unlawfully processed;
• the erasure of personal data is necessary in order to comply with a legal obligation;
• the personal data was collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
Where we have made the personal data public and are obliged to erase it, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation we will take reasonable steps to inform any third parties processing your data of the fact that you have requested the erasure by such third parties of any links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data.
You have the right to require us to restrict the processing where one of the following applies:
• you contest the accuracy of the personal data;
• the processing is unlawful and you request the restriction of the use of the personal data rather than its erasure;
• the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or
• you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance by us, where
• the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and
• the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising your right to data portability you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller where technically feasible.
Provided the requirements of Article 21(1) GDPR are met, you may object to the data processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.
The aforementioned general right to object applies to all processing grounds set out in this privacy policy, which are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In contrast to the specific right to object to data processing for promotional purposes (see above, in particular section 3), the GDPR only obliges us to act on such objection if you cite grounds of overriding importance, e.g., a possible risk to life or health.
You also have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority at any time. In order to do this, you can contact the data protection supervisory authority of the state where you have your place of residence or the authority of the state of Baden-Württemberg as the state where Schwarz Dienstleistung KG is headquartered.
For further questions concerning the processing of your data or the exercise of your rights, please contact the controller's competent data protection officer.
