2. Purposes and legal bases of the processing of personal data by Data4Life

a. Data processing for applications and in the application process

If you apply to us electronically, i.e. by email or via our web form, we will collect and process your personal data for the purpose of conducting the application procedure and carrying out pre-contractual measures.

By submitting an application on our recruitment website, you express your interest in pursuing employment with us. In this context, you transmit personal data, which we will use and store exclusively for the purpose of your job search / application process.

In particular, the following data is collected during this process:

name (first and last names)
email-address
phone number (optional)
targeted date of entry
channel through which you found us (optional)
expected salary

Furthermore, you can choose to upload expressive documents such as a cover letter, your CV and reference letters. These may contain additional personal data, e.g.date of birth, postal address etc.

Data4Life conducts several rounds of interviews during the application process. In the process, Data4Life summarizes the interview content necessary to evaluate your application and makes it available to the personnel responsible in the recruiting process. In addition, the contact details of your reference contact provided by you are used to schedule and conduct a reference interview.

Only authorized HR staff and/or staff involved in the application process have access to your data.

Yourpersonal data is stored, as a rule, exclusively for the purpose of filling the vacancy for which you have applied. The legal basis for processing your personal data is mainly Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG). According to this law, the processing of data required in connection with the decision to establish an employment relationship is permitted.

Your data will be stored for a period of six months after the application process has been concluded. This is usually done to fulfill legal requirements and/or defending ourselves against any claims arising from legal provisions. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is our legitimate interest for the fulfilment of legal obligations or the defence of any claims arising from legal regulations in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Once the storage periods have expired or in the course of exercising your right to deletion and/or objection, we are obliged to delete or anonymize your data. In this case, the data is only available to us as data without direct personal reference for statistical analysis (e.g. number of applications per period etc.).

Should you be offered and accept a position with us during the application process, we will store the personal data collected as part of the application process for at least the duration of your employment with Data4Life.

b. Data processing in "Coding Challenges”

If you applied for a technical position, e.g. as a software developer, we will process your personal data that will be collected during your participation in a test of your software development skills on the platform of Alva Labs AB. You can find more information on how your personal data is processed on the Alva Labs AB platform in their privacy policy: https://app.alvalabs.io/terms.

We have an interest in delivering a pleasant application screening process and in ensuring that your skillset is best suited for the position you applied for. The legal basis for the described processing of your personal data is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

c. Data processing in our "Talent Pool”

In addition, we reserve the right to ask for your consent to include your data in our "Talent Pool" for 24 months after the end of the application process in order to identify any other interesting positions for you. The legal basis for inclusion in the "Talent Pool" is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent for inclusion in our "Talent Pool" at any time (see also section 5 "Data subject rights").

d. Contact

When you contact us via one of our contact options, for example, email, post, or telephone, we process the data you provide (for example your email address and the content of your enquiry) necessary for us to answer your question. If your enquiry contains optional personal data, e.g. your name, we will process that data in order to provide improved support.

The legal basis for the collection of data in the context of contacting and support requests is Section 26 para. 1 BDSG, if an employment relationship exists or is intended. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR (processing is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract with the data subject) when we are in the process of entering into or already have a contractual relationship other than an employment relationship. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller) if we do not have or do not plan a contractual relationship, for example, when the contact is of a general nature. Our legitimate interest in the latter case is to respond to your request in a reasonable manner.

We delete the data collected in this context after storage is no longer required (depending on the respective purpose of the contact) or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

3. Disclosure of data to third parties

The data transmitted as part of your application will be transmitted using TLS encryption and is stored in a database for which our company is responsible and which is operated by our dataprocessor Personio GmbH, Rundfunkplatz 4, 80335 Munich, Germany. We have concluded a corresponding data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 para. 3 GDPR with Personio GmbH, which offers a personnel administration and applicant management software and stores data exclusively on ISO-certified servers in Germany.

To enable email communication through the email address hr@data4life.care, making video calls and sending appointment requests, Data4Life uses Google Workspace provided by our data processor Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google processes your contact information, for example, email address and the content of your email. Google stores your personal data on servers based in the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we cannot exclude that Google accesses and therefore transfers your personal data to the United States. We have concluded a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR and EU standard contractual clauses with Google.

We regularly audit our processors on the level of protection provided by the standard contractual clauses and, if necessary, take additional measures to ensure an appropriate level of protection.
