Notes on data protection
We collect, process and use your personal data in accordance with the content of this data protection notice and the applicable European and German data protection regulations.
By sending us your information by e-mail, you expressly consent to the processing of the relevant information for an unlimited period of time. This includes in particular the transmission of the information to our customers (potential employers). You are advised that you are not obliged to consent to the processing of the data and that if you do consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending an e-mail to the contact details provided.
This data protection information explains the extent to which personal data about you is collected, processed and used. We therefore kindly ask you to read the following carefully.
1. Name and contact details of the data controller
Person responsible pursuant to Art. 4 (7) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO):
Dirk Fichna Personalberatung GmbH (hereinafter: DFP).
c/o Quhr
Gesundheitscampus-Süd 17

E-mail: d.fichna@df-personalberatung.de
2. Collection and storage of personal data and the type and purpose of their use
For the purpose of our advisory service, personal data is provided by you, is collected during the implementation or is collected and processed by us.
In particular, this involves the following data:
– Candidate data (e.g. name, date of birth, marital status, private contact details, address, salary, notice period), position title, curriculum vitae/curriculum vitae (CV), data from social networks or publicly accessible sources on the Internet.
This data is collected:
– for the purpose of evaluating candidates and subsequent placement with DFP clients.
The legal basis for the collection of the corresponding data is the consent of the candidates (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). This consent is given by sending the above-mentioned data by e-mail. The provision of the data is voluntary. The more information provided, the better an assessment of suitability for client positions and subsequent placement of candidates is possible. In order to assess the candidate’s professional profile, it may be necessary to also collect information about the candidate via social media or sources publicly available on the internet, which are further relevant for the assessment of candidates.
By submitting your information, you agree that we may store your candidate information indefinitely. This indefinite storage is done in the interest of the candidates in a long-term cooperation, which also exists beyond the one-time placement. You can revoke your consent at any time using the contact details provided.
3. Transfer of data
Personal data is only passed on to clients if a candidate is suitable for a position with a client or fits the client’s requirement profile.
In this case, the client receives a confidential report on the candidate. The confidential report contains all relevant information that the client needs about the candidate in order to be able to assess whether the candidate is suitable for a position. Disclosure of the data to the client is mandatory for a successful placement.
The legal basis for the disclosure is the consent of the candidate (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DS-GVO) and, if applicable, a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO).
It is expressly pointed out that it may be possible that database servers of clients to whom information of the candidate:in is sent are located in third countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in which no adequate level of data protection has been confirmed by the EU Commission. By giving consent in the form of data transfer, the candidate expressly and unambiguously agrees that the relevant information may also be disclosed to corresponding recipients.
In some cases we use external research service providers to process your personal data. They are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored. The data passed on to our service providers may only be used by them to fulfil their tasks. A contract for commissioned data processing has been concluded.
The legal basis for this is the consent of the candidates (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DS-GVO) and the fulfilment of contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DS-GVO).
4. Data subject rights
– Right to information: about your personal data processed by us (Art. 15 DS-GVO);
– Right of rectification: of inaccurate or incomplete personal data stored by us (Art. 16 DS-GVO);
– Right to erasure: of personal data stored by us, insofar as it is not (any longer) necessary for processing and no legal provisions prevent this (Art. 17 DS-GVO);
– Right to restrict: the processing of your personal data (Art. 18 DS-GVO);
– Right of data portability: to receive your provided data or transfer it to another controller (Art. 20 DS-GVO);

When exercising your right of objection accordingly, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data. If your objection is justified, we will stop or adapt the data processing or inform you of compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
6. Deletion
We delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the relevant purposes. It may be the case that personal data is retained for the period in which claims can be made against us (e.g. statutory limitation period of three or thirty years). Furthermore, we are legally obliged to store certain data due to obligations to provide proof and to retain data, among other things from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code or the German Money Laundering Act.
