In principle, the personal data we collect, process and store are stored by us only for as long as required for the specific purpose for which they are stored. Your data will be erased or their processing will be restricted as soon as the specific purpose for which they were stored no longer applies.
However, there may also be European regulations, applicable national legislation or other provisions that require the data we process to be stored longer. We will erase or restrict processing of your data when these periods of storage expire.
For the purposes of the GDPR, you are the “data subject” of any of your personal data which we process. As a data subject, you have the following rights with regard to MINIMAX:

You have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted where the necessary preconditions apply.
d) Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’)
In certain circumstances, you have the right to demand that MINIMAX erase personal data concerning you without undue delay. The right to erasure does not apply if data must be processed.
e) Right to notification
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction to MINIMAX, MINIMAX must communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
f) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to MINIMAX, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

d) Purposes and legal basis for data processing
Personal data are collected, stored, processed and used only for purposes related to your interest in current or future employment at MINIMAX and processing of your application. If your application for a post at MINIMAX is successful, MINIMAX has the right to continue using the data you have disclosed for the purpose of performing the employment relationship with you. Your online application will be processed and examined only by contact persons at MINIMAX entrusted with handling the application process. All employees tasked with processing data are obligated to keep your data confidential. Under no circumstances will third parties gain knowledge of your details. The legal basis for processing your data is Section 26(1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), since processing of them is required for deciding whether to establish an employment relationship, or for performing or terminating the employment relationship after it has been established, or for the exercise of rights or discharge of duties by employee representative bodies under the law or under a collective bargaining, company or works agreement (collective agreement).

In the application tool, we also provide a feature for transferring profile information from your own XING or finest jobs profile to the online application.

If you use this option, you are requested to log on to the XING (New Work SE, Dammtorstrasse 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany) or finest jobs (rexx systems GmbH, Süderstrasse 75-79, 20097 Hamburg, Germany) platform and allow us to access some information (master data) from your platform profile.
The provider of the platform in question is responsible for transfer of the data from XING or finest jobs to MINIMAX and its data privacy policy applies exclusively. The comments in section 5 of this Data Privacy Policy apply to subsequent processing of the transferred data in MINIMAX’s online tool.
If we are not able to offer you employment at MINIMAX, we erase the data we have collected in our systems no later than six months after the end of the application process, unless you give us your consent to store them for longer.
However, if your application documents are in principle interesting to MINIMAX and we merely do not have any suitable employment for you at the time, you can give MINIMAX your consent to retain your data. Your data are stored after you have given your consent by checking the relevant checkbox. By doing so, you enable MINIMAX to contact you as soon as there are suitable job offers in the future. In such a case, we store your data for one year.

MINIMAX may also forward your data to countries outside the European Economic Area. However, MINIMAX’s affiliated companies will take the steps necessary to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

The legal basis for using your data is Article 6(1) (a) GDPR if you have given your separate consent to this. Your application is forwarded only if its content – in terms of subject matter and particular region – is of relevance to the affiliated company in question. You can withdraw the consent you have given to MINIMAX at any time with effect for the future. Your data are erased as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they have been collected.
