Likewise the hiring manager of the department may belong to a company affiliated with HRS. Within the frame described before a global exchange of your personal data within the HRS group may take place.

4) Social media plugins

Our website uses social plugins ("plugins") of different social networks. Use of such plugins makes it possible, for example, to share contents or recommend products to others. Once these plugins are activated, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network as soon as you access a web page of our web site. The content of the plugin is directly transferred to your browser by the social network and integrated by the same on the website.

Through integration of the plugin, the social network receives information that you accessed the corresponding page of our website. As long as you are logged in at the social network, it can associate the visit with your account. Once you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the Facebook "Like" button or providing a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly by your browser to the social network, where it is stored.

Regarding the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of the data by social networks as well as your rights in this respect and the setting options to protect your privacy, please consult the data privacy notices of the respective networks and/or web pages. You will also find the respective links below.

Even if you are not logged into the social networks, web pages with active social plugins can send data to the networks. Whenever a website is accessed, an active plugin creates a cookie with an identifier. Considering that your browser automatically sends the cookie during any connection with a network server, the network might use it to basically create a profile based on the web pages which were accessed by the user associated with the identifier. Then, it would also be quite possible to later once again associate this identifier – during subsequent login at the social network - with a specific person.

On our web pages and/or apps, we use the following plugins: Facebook, Twitter, Google+ & Youtube

If you do not want social networks to use active plugins to collect data about you, you can either simply select the social plugins by clicking the "Block Third-Party Cookies" function in your browser settings. Then, in the case of embedded contents of other providers, the browser will not send cookies to the server. With this setting, however, except for the plugins, other functions across multiple pages may also no longer work under certain circumstances.

We use plugins of the social network Twitter, which is operated by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom Str., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA ("Twitter"). The link to the data privacy notice of Twitter can be found here: Data Privacy Notices Twitter

5)  How long will your data be stored?

Your personal data will be stored for a period of 2 years max, unless you revoke your consent before (see no. 7) below). Within this period, your personal data may be considered and used for vacancies that become available within the HRS Group, too.

If your application is successful and you start an employment relationship with us, your personal data will be used for the purpose of the employment relationship in accordance with the relevant statutory and/or contractual regulations.

6) Interviews using Skype

During the course of the application process we may offer you to conduct a job interview using the software Skype (see www.skype.com) with or without video function. If you agree to such an interview and use your private Skype account for it, the respective data protection regulations and/or terms and conditions of Skype/Microsoft apply to which you have agreed when you installed your private Skype account. We have no influence whatsoever on the data processing and storing of Skype/Microsoft. You will however always be free to refuse a Skype interview in which case we will offer you an alternative interview form (e.g. regular phone call) without any negative influence on your chances for success in the application process.

7) Revocation and Deletion

You may revoke your consent with effect for the future at any time. For this purpose, please send an email, a letter or a fax to the address or number, respectively, as stated under no. 1) above.
