Para. 8 p. 2 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and § 22 Para. 1 b) BDSG. Providing your personal data as part of the application process is voluntary.

If we obtain information from your public profile on professional social networks, we base the processing on our legitimate interest in forming a decision-making basis for establishing an employment relationship with you. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 9 (2) e) DSGVO.

5. RECIPIENT OF DATA
We may transfer your personal data to companies affiliated with us insofar as this is permissible within the framework of the purposes and legal bases set out above. Schweizer has jointly determined the purposes and means of data processing for the data processing in our online application for job applications.
