5.             Who has access to your data?

If you accept the invitation to the thyssenkrupp talent and candidate pool "Expert Lounge", recruiters from the individual thyssenkrupp companies can access your profile and consider you when filling vacancies. Within the companies, only the necessary people and departments (e.g. HR department, specialist department, works council, representatives of the severely disabled) will have access to your data. They will receive the personal data they require to carry out the application process or to fulfill their legal obligations.

 

In addition, employees of our services providers (contract processors) have access to your personal data in order to fulfil their contractual administrative and support tasks. Personal data is only passed on for a specific purpose within the contractual agreements (order processing) and in accordance with data protection regulations to bodies which, for example, operate the servers or provide specific services.

For the aforementioned purposes, we have specific services carried out by carefully selected and commissioned service providers (such as IT service providers, communication service providers). In some cases, these service providers are based outside the EU/European Economic Area ("third country"). In these cases, a third country transfer of personal data takes place in compliance with the data protection requirements of the EU and the applicable national law. To ensure an adequate level of protection for your data, the thyssenkrupp group of companies implements safeguards to ensure an adequate level of data protection in accordance with legal requirements, including EU standard contractual clauses.
