Protecting your privacy while processing personal data is a major concern that we take into account at all times in our business processes.

Transport Talent International GmbH, Bernstorffstr. 120, 22767 Hamburg, Germany

The personal data collected on this website is processed for market processing for our own business purposes of recruitment and placement of job seekers, for analysis and optimization of the use of this website, and for recruiting purposes (establishment of an employment relationship) in accordance with Art. 6 GDPR.

Our data protection officer: Michel Rothgaenger (michel.rothgaenger@transporttalent.com)

Your personal information

Personal data will only be stored if you provide it voluntarily in an application. Unless there is a contrary declaration or a revocation, data will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the processing purpose. All information you submit during the application process will be used exclusively for processing your application and will only be passed on to our clients for the purpose of recruitment within the scope of your application(s) and with your consent.

With your consent, we primarily use your email address, and also your postal address for job offers and internal marketing purposes. If you no longer wish to receive information or job offers from us, you can inform us at any time of your objection against the use of your data, e.g., by email to your contact person at Transport Talent.

Storage duration

The personal data collected through the job portal or by other means for the purposes of an application process will be stored for a period of up to five years after the completion of the process and then deleted or anonymized.

Personal data will remain in our database for the purpose of later job placements and may be used in a future job placement process.

Within this period, you can request the deletion of your personal data at any time. After the five-year period, explicit consent is required from you to continue storing your personal data in our database.

Data categories

These include the necessary information such as salutation, name, address, and email address of the applicant, phone number as well as information on education / work experience / qualifications / preferences for employment by Transport Talent, including details on the field of work, preferred workplace, and working hours, etc.

The following data categories are collected:

  • Master data (e.g., name, address, email, phone number)
  • Work preferences (e.g., field of work, type of employment, full-time or part-time work)
  • Education, training, work experience, skills, etc.
  • Application documents (e.g., certificates, letters of recommendation, references, CV, photo)

Transport Talent points out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Disclosure to third parties

All information you submit during the application process will be used exclusively for processing your application and will only be passed on to our clients within the scope of your application(s) for the purpose of recruitment.

Rights to information, correction, and deletion

You have the right to information, correction, and deletion of your personal data at any time (Art. 15, Art. 16, Art. 17 GDPR). You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time and to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data (Art. 21 GDPR). You also have the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). If you wish to exercise any of the aforementioned rights, please send an email to our data protection officer or your contact person at Transport Talent.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for our company at any time. The contact details are:

Access data/server log files

Server log files consist of anonymized data that is collected when you access our website. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally but is essential for the delivery and presentation of our content for technical reasons. Furthermore, it serves our statistics and the continuous optimization of our content. Typical log files include the date and time of access, the amount of data, the browser used for access and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of the provider you have commissioned, the page from which you came to our offer (referrer URL), and your IP address, with the latter two blocks being replaced with zeros. Log files also enable a precise examination in case of suspected illegal use of our website.

Links to other websites

If you access an external website from our site, the external provider may receive information from your browser about which page you came from. The external provider is responsible for this data. We, like any other provider, cannot influence this process.

Data security

We implement appropriate measures to ensure the protection of your data technically and organizationally. Our employees are obligated to comply with data protection, and our service providers involved in data processing are carefully selected and also obligated to data protection.

Some areas of the web offering, where particularly sensitive data is transmitted, such as in forms, are also encrypted by us via SSL to protect your data from unauthorized access. You can usually recognize encrypted websites by the lock symbol in your browser. Please note that unencrypted data transmission (via email or through other web forms) may potentially be read by unauthorized third parties outside our control. If you want to transmit sensitive data unencrypted to us, we therefore recommend using other transmission methods.

Changes

Data protection regulations and practices may continuously change. It is therefore advisable and necessary to keep informed about changes in the legal provisions and the practices of Transport Talent. We reserve the right to adjust this data protection policy at any time accordingly. We kindly ask you to review this data protection policy during each visit to the website to see if it has changed in the meantime. You can easily recognize this by the date indicated at the end.
