I. For what purposes do we process your personal data?


Spryker processes your personal data particularly in compliance with the GDPR and the BDSG. By submitting an application via our recruitment website or third-party recruitment pages, you express your interest in taking up work with us. In this context, you transmit personal data, which we will use and store exclusively for the purpose of your job search / application process, to assess your application for the job offered and to communicate with you within the recruitment process.

In addition, your personal data may be used for following purposes:

  • Based on your consent to contact you in case of an alternative career opportunity within Spryker or a Spryker Group Company (“Spryker Group Talent pool”).
  • To contact you following your unsolicited application.

If an employment relationship is established, also for the execution of the employment relationship.

II. What is the legal basis of our processing?


In the first place, data processing is used to justify the employment relationship. The primary legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and Section 26 (1) BDSG.

In case you consent to the storage of your data in our Talent Pool, the processing of your data is based on Article 6 (1) (a), 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (2) BDSG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

In the event that vital interests are impaired on your part or in the case of another individual, which require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR is the legal basis for that processing.

Your data can also be processed by Spryker in order to be able to fulfil existing legal obligations if necessary. This is done on the basis of Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Section 26 BDSG.

If necessary, Spryker also processes your data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR in order to safeguard legitimate interests of Spryker or third parties (e.g., authorities). Spryker processes your personal data as part of its legitimate interest in ensuring IT-security and IT-operations. In any event, the existence of a
legitimate interest is carefully considered, as to whether your interests may outweigh ours.

To the extent that special categories of personal data are processed in accordance with Article 9 (1) GDPR, this serves to exercise rights or to fulfil rights or the fulfilment of legal obligations arising from labor law, social security law and social protection (e.g. disclosure of health data to the health insurance company, recording of a serious disability for determining the severe disability levy). This is done on the basis of Article 9 (b) GDPR and Section 26 (3) BDSG.

In addition, the processing of health data may be necessary for the assessment of your ability to work in accordance with Article 9 (2) GDPR and Section 22 (b) BDSG or other comparable national regulations. In addition, the processing of special categories of personal data may be based on consent under
Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR and Section 26 (2) BDSG (e.g., occupational health management). When we obtain information from your public profile on professional social networks, such as LinkedIn, we base this processing on our legitimate interest to build a decision base in order to establish an
employment relationship with you. The legal basis is Article 6 f) GDPR in conjunction with Article 9 (2) e) GDPR.
Furthermore, we may process personal data about you where this is necessary to defend ourselves against legal claims arising from the application process that are brought against us. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) b and f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings
under the German General Equal Treatment Act (“AGG”).

If Spryker wants to process your personal data for a purpose not mentioned above, Spryker will inform you beforehand.

III. What rights do you have?


To the extent that Spryker processes personal data from you, you are a “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR. As data subject, you are entitled to the following rights with regards to Spryker:

1. Right to Information Regarding Processing
You can request information from Spryker at any time, within the scope of the legal regulations (see Article 15 GDPR) as to whether personal data is being processed by Spryker.

2. Right to Correction
You have the right to correct and/or complete your data with Spryker, if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete, see Article 16 GDPR.

3. Right to Restrict Processing
With these requirements in place (see Article 18 GDPR), you may request that the processing of your
personal data be restricted.

4. Right to Deletion
You may request that the personal data concerning you be deleted immediately if the requirements are in
place (see Article 17 GDPR). The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary, due to
contractual obligations to you or due to legal provisions.

5. Right to Information
If you have claimed the right to correct, delete, or restrict this processing against Spryker, Spryker is obliged to provide to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed, this correction or deletion of data or the restriction of processing. This does not apply to the extent that it proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort (see Article 19 GDPR). If you request this, we will inform you about these recipients.

6. Right to Data Transferability
You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided Spryker in a structured, common, and machine-readable format (see Article 20 GDPR). In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to any other company without hindrance through Spryker, provided that conditions are available.

7. Right to Object
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you, which is provided under Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As a result of the objection, Spryker will no longer processes the personal data relating to you, unless Spryker can prove legitimate, compelling reasons for processing which outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or when processing is used for the enforcement, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

You can inform Spryker or our data protection officer directly about your objection (please find contact data in Section 1 and 2).

8. Right to Revoke your Consent
If you have submitted consent, you can revoke it at any time from Spryker (see Article 7 GDPR). The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of consent up until the revocation. In addition, in certain cases it is possible that Spryker will remain permitted to
process it on the basis of other legal bases.

9. Right to Lodge a Complaint at a Supervisory Authority
Regardless of any other administrative or judicial appeal, you have the right to lodge a complaint at a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you violates the GDPR (see Article 77 GDPR).
