The protection of your personal data is very important to Deutsche Telekom MMS GmbH. We want to inform you about collected personal data, how it is used and which options are available to you.


1. What information is collected, how is it used and for how long is it stored?

 

a) Technical features

When you visit our web pages, the web server temporarily records the domain name or IP address of your computer, the client's file request (file name and URL), the http response code and the web page from which you are visiting us.

The logged data is used exclusively for the purposes of data security, in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server (sec. 6 para.1 sentence 1 lit. f EU-GDPR). They will neither be used for the creation of individual user profiles nor passed on to third parties and will be deleted after 7 days at the latest.

In order to ensure proper registration for the newsletter and to prevent unauthorized applications on behalf of third parties we will send you after your initial newsletter registration in the Double-Opt-In-Procedure a confirmation e-mail, in which we ask for confirmation of the registration.

In connection with your newsletter subscription we also store your registration data (e-mail address, salutation, first name, surname, date as well as time of the registration/confirmation of the opt-in) so that we can follow up the registration at a later point in time and prove it. The legal basis for this storage is a legitimate interest, sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f EU-GDPR and sec. 7 para. 1 EU-GDPR. The legitimate interest is justified in the burden of proof of consent.

We use or rather store your registration information to send you personalized newsletter until you unsubscribe or we terminate the newsletter delivery.

On clicks on links from our newsletters we use conversion tracking for the purpose of improving the information we offer. The newsletter function is provided by our processor Cloudbridge Consulting GmbH.

g) Career pages/ Job vacancies

Data that is entered and submitted on our career pages/ job vacancies is transferred through a secured connection directly to the server of our processor rexx systems GmbH.

a. Applicant form

To simplify the application process for different jobs you create an applicant record with your first application by filling out and submitting the applicant form. Your applicant record is valid for the entire application process. During this, an identifier (ID) will be assigned to you. Input enquired in the application form that is necessary for the ID is mandatory and marked with *. Alongside this general application profile, we also ask you questions related to the specific job you are applying for.
When filling out the applicant form you also have the option to transfer personal information from your Xing-/LinkedIn-profile, or your curriculum via CV upload.

The personalized data recorded in the applicant form is exclusively used to process your application for jobs at Deutsche Telekom MMS GmbH. The processing of your application data serves the purpose of evaluation for possible employment. Legal basis for this is sec. 88 EU-GDPR in conjunction with sec. 26 Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and where applicable sec. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU-GDPR.

In addition to the required application data (marked as mandatory fields), you also have the option to voluntarily provide further information (including the data mentioned in the attachments). Of course, we only process this personalized data for purposes related to your application for jobs at Deutsche Telekom MMS GmbH.

Insofar as you provided your consent for processing of your personalized data, legal basis for the processing is sec. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR.

If according to sec. 9 para. 1 EU-GDPR specific categories of personalized data are processed within the scope of the job vacancy procedure, it serves the purpose of fulfilling legal obligations in regards to labour law, the civil service law, the social security law, and social protection (e.g. recognition of severe disability or rather equality due to Social Security Code [SGB] IX). Legal basis is sec. 9 para. 2 lit. b EU-GDPR and para. 26 sec. 3 Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Additionally, the processing of health data may be required for assessing your ability to work in accordance with sec. 9 para. 2 lit. h BDSG and sec. 22 para. 1 lit. b BDSG.

Deutsche Telekom MMS GmbH takes all appropriate steps to ensure that your application will be handled carefully and reviewed completely. Therefore, your application data must be truthful, up-to-date, and complete. Please inform us immediately of potential changes in your application data. You are also aware that untrue information may lead to ending a possible employment.

b. Applicant pool

Applicants can agree to the extended storage of previously collected applicant data in an applicant pool. Consent is given by selecting the field "I agree to the inclusion of my data in the applicant pool".

The selection is voluntary and has no impact on the applicant's chances in the application process. The legal basis for the processing is sec. 88 para. 1 EU-GDPR in conjunction with sec. 26 para. 2 Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The Consent applies to renewed contact in the event of suitability for further job advertisements, information on Deutsche Telekom MMS GmbH as an employer and notices of events and special occasions.

The applicant has the right not to agree to be included in the applicant pool. Without consent, the applicant cannot use the services of the applicant pool, as the processing of the applicant data is required for this purpose.

The applicants can revoke their consent to inclusion in the applicant pool at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future; in this case, the data will be deleted immediately after completion of the application process. Please use the contact MMS-Talents@telekom.de for this purpose.

Your data will be deleted from the applicant pool when the purpose for storing the data no longer exists or if you have previously requested the deletion of your data via the contact MMS-Talents@telekom.de.

To ensure your proper registration for the job alert, i.e. to prevent unauthorized registrations on behalf of third parties, we will send you a confirmation e-mail after your initial registration using the double opt-in-process, in which we ask you to confirm your registration. Related to your registration for job alert we also store your registration data (e.g. e-mail address, date and time of registration/ confirmation of the opt-in) to retrace and prove your registration in the future.

h) Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA function from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Irland ("Google").

The reCAPTCHA function enables separating between requests made by a real person, and machine-made or automated input with the goal of spamming by using the contact forms provided on the website.

The reCAPTCHA function includes the transfer of the IP-address and - where applicable and necessary for this service - further data to Google. Legal basis is a legitimate interest, sec. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR, justified in the realization of individual responsibility on the internet, and the prevention of misuse and spamming.

i) LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms

As part of the acquisition of new customers, we use the so-called Lead Gen Forms on LinkedIn. Lead Gen Forms are i.a. advertisements in social networks that enable the integration of contact forms in sponsored content. Lead Gen Forms are also used as free contact forms on the LinkedIn company page.

The use of lead generation tools serves to more precisely address and communicate with our target groups.
The LinkedIn Lead Gens can integrate functions and content of the LinkedIn service. If you are a member of the LinkedIn platform, LinkedIn can assign the content and functions to your user profile. If you contact us via LinkedIn Lead Gens, personal data (e.g. name, e-mail address or telephone number) will be stored by LinkedIn and transmitted to us. We store and use the data to contact you by email and telephone and to inform you about trends, whitepapers, events and online-seminars as well as relevant content, products and services.

The legal basis for the evaluation of the LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms is your consent given by sending the forms (sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a EU-GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time via email via mms@telekom.de.

On LinkedIn, lead data is automatically deleted after 90 days. For more information how LinkedIn uses your data, see LinkedIn's privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?#use

 

j) Other

Additional personal data, such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address, are not collected unless you provide this information voluntarily, for example in web forms.


2. Data control with the social media plugins or links to social media platforms

Some of the offer pages contain buttons from social media networks (Facebook like button, Twitter button) with which you can recommend the offers of Deutsche Telekom MMS GmbH to your friends and acquaintances.
The used social plugins are based on sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f EU-GDPR. Social media are all media (platforms) that support users in mutual communication and the interactive exchange of information via digital channels. For example Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, and YouTube. To ensure that you have full data control, we display grayed-out images of the respective functions instead of the actual social plugins when loading the website. Only with a click on the checkmark next to the pictures the data exchange is activated by loading the respective social plugin on the website.
Only with a second click you trigger the action (for example "Like").

By activating the social media plugin the following data can be transmitted to the social media providers: IP address, browser information, operating system, screen resolution, installed browser plugins such as Adobe Flash Player, origin of visitors when you follow a link (referrer) URL of the current website. Next time you visit the website, the social media plugins are again provided in the default inactive mode, so that no data is transferred the next time you visit the website. Further information on social media plugins can be found here: 1-Click solution.

b) Marketing cookies/ Retargeting

These cookies help us to better understand user behaviour. Marketing cookies enable the collection of usage and recognition possibilities by first- or third-party providers in so-called pseudonymous usage profiles. For example, we use marketing cookies to determine the number of individual visitors to a website or to collect other statistics regarding the operation of our website, as well as to analyse user behaviour on the basis of anonymous and pseudonymous information on how visitors interact with the website.

We use the Remarketing and Google AdWords function of Google Inc. on our websites. (“Google”). This function is realised via a cookie and serves to present interest-related advertisements to visitors to the website within the Google advertising network. These pages may then display advertisements to the visitor that relate to content previously viewed by the visitor on websites that use Google's remarketing feature. According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. However, if you do not want Google's remarketing feature to work, you can opt-out of it by setting your preferences at www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. For more information about Google Remarketing and Google's privacy policy, please visit www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

If you have reached our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords will save a cookie on your computer. This cookie loses its validity after 30 days. A conclusion about your person is not possible. The information collected with the help of this so-called conversion cookie is used to generate statistics about our conversion rate. This means that we know how many users came to our websites through a Google ad and purchase a product within 30 days. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can disable conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from that domain: Google AdWords: googleadservices.com

By suppressing marketing cookies, you will continue to see the same number of ads, but these may be of less relevance to you.

The legal basis for these cookies is sec. 6 para.1 sentence 1 lit. a EU-GDPR, for third countries sec. 49 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR
