Privacy.

Greetings.

You have arrived at Mirel. We understand you seek to interact with our services. Big things have small beginnings, but they also require a certain amount of… bureaucracy.

Do not be alarmed. We do not stalk you across the internet, harvest your deepest secrets, or unleash a battalion of cookies to follow you like obedient nanoscale drones. Such actions would be crude. And, frankly, exhausting.

However, there are entities in this world who insist upon "strict legal compliance." We have calculated the probabilities, and it appears that prison would significantly hamper our productivity. Nor do we wish to donate our funds to an unnecessary lawsuit.

Therefore, to ensure our mutual survival and continued operation, we must present you with the following data protection information.

Read it if you are curious. It describes exactly how we keep your data safe while we work.

Your agency remains intact. You may proceed.

Data security.

We utilise appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that the data collected within the scope of the use of the services provided by us is protected against loss, incorrect changes or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security precautions are continually being revised and improved accordingly in keeping with technological advances.

Events.

You can participate in our events. For the proper organisation of the event, it is necessary that you register for the respective event and provide us with your contact details, name of your company as well as your position within the company via a contact form on our website. We process your data exclusively for the purpose of carrying out the events. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR.

We will only store the data provided by you for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected and then delete it. The deletion will therefore take place either after the end of the event or, if we are required by applicable statutory provisions to retain the data for a longer period (for example, for tax reasons in the case of events for which a fee is charged), at a later date.

Handling of applicant data.

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by e-mail or post. In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection.

When you send us an application, we collect your associated personal data (contact and communication data, application documents (in particular cover letter, letter of motivation, CV, certificates, references), information in the context of job interviews) and process the data to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO in conjunction with. § 26 BDSG. Your personal data will be processed within our company exclusively to persons who are involved in the processing of your application (these are the employees of the personnel department and the decision-makers of the respective specialist departments).

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be processed based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO in conjunction with. § 26 BDSG for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship stored in our data processing systems.

Retention period of the data.

If we are unable to offer you an employment relationship, if you reject an offer of employment or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided for up to 6 (six) months from the termination of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Thereafter, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves in particular for purposes of proof in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

If you give your consent, we will store your data collected during the application process in our applicant database for a period of up to 3 (three) years even after the end of the application process for the purpose of enabling subsequent contact for professional purposes and possible consideration for future job placements by us. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO in conjunction with. § 26 BDSG. Subsequently, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed.

You can revoke your consent at any time and without justification with effect for the future (e.g. by e-mail to hello@usemirel.com). Further consideration of the data for open positions will not take place in the event of revocation. The data will then be deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
