Privacy Policy Job Placement
Thank you for your interest in our student job placement service. We take the protection of your private data very seriously and treat the data entrusted to us in strict confidence in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and handle it responsibly. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to inform you about how we implement the provisions of data protection at the Studentenwerk Potsdam and which personal data we process within the framework of the Student Job Placement Service.
1. Name and contact details of the data controller and the company data protection officer
Studentenwerk Potsdam, Babelsberger Straße 02, 14473 Potsdam (referred to as "we" in the text), is the data controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). Our company data protection officer can be reached at the above address or at datenschutz[at]studentenwerk-potsdam.de.
2. Collection and storage of personal data as well as type and purpose and their use
The activities of the Studentenwerk's job placement service are limited to the placement of job offers for students at the universities in Brandenburg, Potsdam, and Wildau. We therefore only process data that you have provided to us in connection with your application for job placement. These are name, date of birth, gender, nationality, qualification, university, field of study, matriculation, address, telephone number, e-mail address, the certificate of enrollment and for students from non-EU countries: Residence permit, duration of work permit and work permit. Job placement usually takes place online via the job portal on our website.
We process your personal data only for the purpose of student job placement. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit b) DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. Insofar as we obtain consent for the processing of your personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies. This is particularly the case if you no longer wish to use our mediation services. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the responsible party is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
3. Transfer of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. The data is stored internally and passed on to recipients within the Studentenwerk Potsdam. In principle, students receive the contact information of employers for the purpose of contacting them independently. However, students' data may also be passed on to employers. A transfer to a third country neither takes place nor is it intended by us.
4. Your rights
You have the right:
When exercising your rights other than in writing, we ask for your understanding that we may require evidence from you proving that you are the person you claim to be.
5. No automated decision making
There is no automated decision-making in individual cases pursuant to Art. 22 DSGVO, i.e. the decision on your request for job placement is not based exclusively on automated processing
