Part II - Information on the processing of personal data
If you would like to apply for a job with us, we will need some information about you. The following application data is therefore collected and processed as part of the application:
-
Name, address, contact details such as email address and telephone number
-
Information about your qualifications, knowledge, experience and professional background
-
Salary expectations
-
Other information you provide to us in connection with your application
We process work-related information that you have made publicly available, such as a profile on professional social media networks.
1. Obligation to provide the data:
The provision of the data is not required by law or contract. The data subject is not obliged to provide the data. However, if the data is not provided, an application procedure or subsequent employment is not possible.
2. Purposes and legal basis:
Data processing is permitted for the application process, among other things. We use your data to decide whether to consider you in the short-listing process or to make a personal impression in an interview to decide whether to offer you the job for which you have applied. The processing also serves the purpose of corporate communication.
The data may also be used to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
Furthermore, we would like to point out that the data you provide may be used to compile statistics on the application process. These statistics are compiled exclusively for our own purposes and are never personalised, but anonymised.
3. Recipient:
Due to our global business activities, your personal data will also be transferred to affiliated companies, among others. "Affiliated companies" are legally independent companies that are affiliated with us under company law (cf. §§ 15 ff AktG) and/or are part of the same group of companies. For the purposes of data transfer, this refers to Ingenio Europe GmbH (Germany), Barges Technologies, Inc (USA), Horoscope.com Inc. (USA), Peer Labs LLC (USA) und die Ingenio, LLC (USA).
We use service providers in the provision of our services. Data is therefore transferred to shipping service providers, IT service providers and possibly external lawyers. These service providers are contractually or legally obliged by us to exercise the same care in processing personal data as we do ourselves.
In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose information to courts, authorities, the government or the police.
4. Data transfer to third countries:
Due to our global business operations, your personal data may also be transferred to affiliated companies outside the EEA. Similarly, the employees of certain service providers may be located outside the EEA.
We have concluded a data transfer agreement with our affiliated companies, which regulates the cross-border transfer of your personal data within the group. This agreement is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses, which you can view and, if necessary, download here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&locale=de. If third parties transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection, for example by entering into data transfer agreements or by ensuring that third parties are certified under appropriate data protection regimes.
5. Storage period:
We do not keep your personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose for which this personal data is processed. However, please note that we must retain personal data if there is a legal obligation to retain it, e.g. in accordance with Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Section 147 of the German Tax Code (AO).
We store your data,
-if you have consented to the processing, at most until you withdraw your consent,
-If we require the data for the performance of a contract, at most for as long as the contractual relationship with you exists or for as long as statutory retention periods apply,
-if we use the data on the basis of a legitimate interest at most for as long as your interest in deletion or pseudonymisation does not prevail.
The deletion of the transmitted data takes place automatically in case of rejection of your application 6 (six) months after completion of the application procedure.
If we are not able to offer you a current vacancy, but believe on the basis of your profile that your application may be of interest for future vacancies, we will store your personal application data for twelve months, provided you expressly consent to such storage and use.
If your application is followed by the conclusion of a contract, your data may be stored and used for the purposes of the usual organisational and administrative process, in compliance with the relevant legal provisions.
Part III - Commissioned processing and data security

Also, for security reasons, we may request supplemental information from you that is necessary to verify your identity when you apply to exercise your privacy rights in California.
4. Sale of personal data
The CCPA requires companies that "sell" personal information (as that term is defined in the CCPA) to give California residents the right to opt-out of such sales. adviqo does not "sell" your personal information as we understand and interpret the term.

To request confirmation or access to your data, please submit a request to the following email address: privacy@adviqo.com, or use the contact details provided above and indicate the form in which you wish to receive the information requested.
