Data protection for applications and in the application process

We are pleased ,that you are interested in us as a potential employer. The protection of personal data of applicants*, employees and all third parties associated with us is particularly important to us. We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing can also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via an application tool on the website, to the person responsible for processing.

We collect your personal data that is relevant to the application process or that you provide to us in the course of the application process (including, for example, last name, first name, address, e-mail, the position for which you are applying and information about your personal application ). In order to carefully assess your application, we may also need additional information, e.g. on your previous professional career.

In the case of an online application, enter your personal data in the online forms or send them to us by e-mail and upload the relevant documents. For applications via other channels, we collect the relevant information from your application and save your application documents in our system.

When you apply for a specific position or participate in a recruiting event, you can actively consent to the transfer of your personal data to other possible positions in the relevant company or in other group companies (nationally or internationally). If you do not agree or revoke this consent, the consequence of this is that no further consideration of the application for other positions can take place. You can revoke your consent to the transfer at any time by post to the above address or by email to n.walter@thordsen.de. A revocation of the consent to the transfer of the application has the consequence that no further consideration of the application for other positions can take place. If your application is considered for an examination at another group company and we have not received your consent, we will always obtain your express consent before passing on your data.

Due to the organizational structure of Thordsen Spedition and depending on the application channel you have chosen, your application can be processed by different departments. In any case, your personal data will only be processed by the company responsible for the job advertisement and, if necessary, by service providers who are contractually bound and legally obliged to comply with the relevant data protection regulations.

Due to the so-called anti-terror regulations EC -VO 2580/2001 and EC-VO – 881/2002, Thordsen Spedition and all its associated holdings are prohibited from maintaining economic relationships with organizations and persons suspected of terrorism. In order to comply with this regulation, we are obliged to match each applicant invited to an interview with a sanctions list with the persons and organizations suspected of terror. Of course, this is done in compliance with all data protection regulations.

If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted three months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the person responsible for processing. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). If you have taken part in one of our assessment centers for our dual degree programs or our trainee program, we will store your result for a maximum of 12 months.

You also have the option of asking us to delete your data. If you wish to have your applicant data deleted while complying with the legal retention periods, please use the contact address given above.
