Privacy Policy

You can always use our website without revealing your identity. If you register for our newsletter or wish to make contact with us, we ask for your name and other personal information. It is your decision whether you provide this (broader) data. Data that is a mandatory requirement from you in order to provide our services is designated as such.

The collection and processing of your personal data is carried out for the following purposes on the basis of the following legal grounds:

Access to your personal data stored by us is restricted to our employees and to the service providers commissioned by us who need to deal with this personal data to perform their tasks.

In respect of the Personal Data of candidates and employees who apply for, or are contacted by a Customer of Talentry regarding a Job or Talent Pool (as the term is described in Talentry Terms) (“Talents”), Talentry shall process personal information as a data processor on behalf of its customers, who use Our Services to assist with their recruitment processes. When you apply for a Job or Talent pool with one of Talentry’s Customers, our Customer’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy, will apply to our processing of your personal information.

If you decide to register through or otherwise grant access to a third-party integrated service such as Google or Microsoft, Talentry may also collect Personal Information that is already associated with your integrated service account. You may also have the option of sharing additional information with Talentry.

Talentry will adhere to Google’s Limited Use Requirements and Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Where third parties are given access to your data, we have obtained your permission for this or there is a legal ground for it.

We also employ service providers to provide services and to process data (inter alia for hosting, newsletter distribution, dispatch of letters or emails and the maintenance and analysis of databases, the protection of our web server, or for tracking web pages).

The servers of some of the service providers employed by us are situated in the USA and other countries outside the European Union. Undertakings in these countries are subject to a data protection law that does not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union. Where your data are processed in a country that does not have data protection to the acknowledged high level of the European Union, we ensure through contractual provisions or other recognized instruments that your personal data are appropriately protected. We will advise you of this again expressly in the context of the individual services.

Where a transfer of personal data to third countries occurs, this is on the basis of the EU-US Privacy Shield decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR or the 2010 Decision on standard contractual clauses, in accordance with Art. 46 2. (c) GDPR in conjunction with the Decision of the EU Commission of 05.02.2010 (2010/87/EU) or on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 49 1. (a) GDPR.

In exceptional cases, we transfer personal data to prosecution and criminal investigation authorities. This occurs on the basis of relevant statutory obligations, for instance under the Criminal Procedure Code, the Tax Code, the Money Laundering Act or state police laws.

You have a series of statutory rights that we wish to refer you to below. In addition, our data protection officer is of course available to you for questions concerning data collected and processed in relation to you via the contact details given below.

You have the right at any time to access the personal data concerning you processed by us.

GDPR receipt of the stored personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. At your request, we shall also transmit the data directly to a recipient specified by you.

Further, you may under Art. 16 to 18 GDPR require us to rectify, restrict (storage) or erase your personal data where the data has been inaccurately processed by us, there are grounds for restriction of further data processing or the data processing has become unlawful for other reasons or where its storage is not permitted for other legal reasons. We ask you to note that your right to erasure can be restricted owing to statutory retention periods.

Where our data processing is based exclusively on our legitimate interest under Art 6 1. (f) GDPR, you may object to this processing under Art. 21 1. GDPR. We then cease processing your data unless we can demonstrate data protection grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or where the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of a legal claim. In addition, you always have the right to object to the use of your data for the purposes of direct marketing with future effect under Art. 21 2. GDPR.

Where you have allowed us by consent to process your personal data, you have a right under Art. 7 3. GDPR to withdraw consent with future effect.
