The application process is initiated via LinkedIn, respectively a website with our application form. In terms of content, we process applications exclusively via our own application form. If you apply by other means, we will provide the link with the form to you. We use Microsoft 365 services for the form, which binds us to Microsoft’s privacy statement (Microsoft Privacy Statement). The data transmission is encrypted, and the data is stored in Switzerland on our Microsoft 365 tenant. We store the information you provide during the application process. The application process in Romania is supported by Xiting ROM SRL (hereinafter “Xiting”).

We process all personal data you disclose on the basis of your consent, insofar as necessary for the processing of the application process, i.e. to check whether you are suitable for a vacant position and to contact you. Otherwise, we only process your data if we have a legitimate interest in doing so to achieve the aforementioned purposes, particularly to comply with legal requirements, unless this applies as an independent legal basis under the applicable data protection laws.
