1. Collection and Processing of Personal Data

Upon accessing our website, the following types of data are saved for the duration of one month:

URL
Date and time of access
Description of the type of the web browser used
Referrer
IP address.

The only personal data we process is your IP address. It will be deleted as you leave the website. The provision of these data is not a statutory or contractual requirement, but failure to provide these data might impair operability of the website.

Further personal data are collected and processed when you log in to the password-protected areas of the website as a customer of GRTgaz Deutschland. Personal data comprise access data required for the registration process. The provision of these data is not a statutory requirement, but it is required for a contract to be concluded with GRTgaz Deutschland GmbH.

Other personal data will be stored permanently (eg capacity request) upon submission of an offer or request. The data entered, the user name, and the IP address are stored. The processing serves the fulfilment of contractual obligations (art. 6 (1)(1)(b) GDPR) as well as the defence against or substantiation of legal claims (art. 6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR). It ends with the expiry of the limitation period according to Section 199 (3)(1)(1) of the German Civil Code.

This website uses cookies that enable the site to function properly by distributing traffic to the website across several servers in order to optimize response times.

IV. Your Rights

You have the right to request access to and rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing concerning the data subject or to object to processing as well as a right to data portability.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

V. Processing of Applicants’ Personal Data

All data transmitted by the applicants will be processed (sec. 26 Abs. 1 BDSG). To minimize data processing, we therefore ask to submit only such information that will typically be relevant, i.e. required for a contract. We reserve the right to process job-related information made public by applicants, such as their profiles on social media platforms. Applicants have the right to request access to and rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing concerning the data subject or to object to processing as well as a right to data portability.

They have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

The transmitted data will generally be deleted after completion of the selection process. We may, however, process personal data of applicants as far as this is necessary to defend against asserted legal claims arising from the application procedure (art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act; in this respect, the storage period shall be two months from the allocation of the job, and four years for the defence against other civil law claims.

Applicants who would like to be considered in future selection processes for vacancies are asked to provide explicit consent, e.g.by embedding the following message in the cover email to the application: "I agree with the storage of my application for future selection procedures."

Applicants may object to further processing at any time. They have the right to lodge a complaint with the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. There is no legal or contractual duty to provide any information, but we do require the candidate information to enter into a contract of employment, which cannot be achieved without the information.

If we conclude an employment contract, we can further process the personal data already received for employment purposes in accordance with sec. 26(1) BDSG if required for the execution or termination of the employment relationship or to exercise or fulfilment of a law or a collective agreement, an operating or service agreement (collective agreement) or the rights and duties of representing the interests of employees.

For application processing, we use, inter alia, StepStone Deutschland GmbH. Therefore, StepStone Deutschland GmbH and its subcontractors, which can be found at https://www.stepstone.de/e-recruiting/allgemeine-geschaftsbedinungen/#processors, are recipients of the data provided. StepStone uses security systems by Akamai Technologies, Inc., which may be transferred to the United States. Akamai is Privacy Shield certified, so there is an appropriate level of privacy.
