Privacy Statement

thyssenkrupp is committed to protecting the personal information of applicants, employees and all third parties connected with us in any other way. thyssenkrupp uses personal data (or personal identifiable information - PII) from career platforms with publicly accessible candidate data or collected from visitors to our websites in accordance with the applicable data protection and data security laws. Insofar as personal data are transmitted to Group subsidiaries outside Germany, the data protection laws of the country in which your data are “processed” also apply. Should we transmit your data in a country in which your data is subject to less comprehensive protection under local laws, our contractual, technical and organizational measures will ensure the adequate and required standard of protection for your personal data. You can therefore be sure that we are committed to protecting your privacy and your right to data protection at all times. This privacy policy provides information on how thyssenkrupp uses information collected when you visit the careers website of the thyssenkrupp AG.

1. Purpose of collecting data

thyssenkrupp generally uses your personal data to answer your inquiries, process your requests or allow you access to specific information or offers . But thyssenkrupp would also like to make your job search easier. On the following pages you can therefore apply directly for jobs at Group subsidiaries online. We promise to treat your information confidentially. The data you enter here will be processed and used only for the purpose of selecting job applicants.

2. Which data do we collect?

On this website we collect the information needed for application procedures at thyssenkrupp.

When you apply for a job with a Group subsidiary, you will be asked to provide certain personal details (for example name, address, e-mail). You may also be asked questions relating to the position you are applying for. When applying for work with our company it is also essential that you attach your résumé.

For security reasons we send you an e-mail confirmation applying online.

Please note that your data are not stored anonymously but are accessible to the HR department and the departments of the Group relevant to the position you have applied for.

2.1. IP addresses

Within the framework of the statutory provisions, we store Internet Protocol addresses (IP addresses) in log files for a strictly limited period only, insofar as this is necessary for technical and security purposes. We compile anonymous statistics to record the number of visitors to our website (traffic), but we do not create individual user profiles or link these to information which may be used to identify an individual. We subsequently delete this information.

2.2. Application information

Before you will be sending your information to thyssenkrupp through the by us provided system, we ask you to provide your consent to the processing of your personal data and we will provide you with more details on for example which data we will be processing, for which purposes and who will be processing your personal data. In addition to this, we would like to inform you of the following:

In submitting your application you promise that the information provided by you is truthful. Please note that false statements and omissions can constitute grounds for rejection or subsequent dismissal. Please also note that participation in this online application process is valid without signature.

The companies of the thyssenkrupp Group select the best applicants regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. We do not require any information from you which cannot be used in accordance to the law, for example under Germany’s General Equal Treatment Law (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz). Please do not submit any confidential internal information or business secrets of your former or current employer. Please do not provide any unnecessary information on:

• Illnesses
• Pregnancy
• Ethnic origin, political beliefs, philosophical or religious beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or sexual activity
• Defamatory or libelous information
• Information which has nothing to do with the job profile

Please note that in some countries (e.g. the UK) we may collect sensitive data (e.g. data about ethnic origin, health) to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws. Such information is collected anonymously and is under no circumstances combined with your personal data (unless required by law). This ensures that it can no longer be allocated to you. Such information is used exclusively for statistical purposes in accordance to the laws applying in these countries.

2.3 Job alert e-mail

If you register for our job alert e-mail, we will use your e-mail address to send you suitable job offers. In order to ensure your proper registration for this service and to prevent unauthorized log-ins on behalf of third parties, we will send you a confirmation e-mail after you have logged in for the first time using the Double Opt-In procedure, requesting confirmation of your registration. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent in accordance with sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a EU-GDPR.

Subscribing to the job alert service is voluntary and can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, a link will be available in every job offer e-mail, via which you can unsubscribe from the service or revoke your consent.

3. Who processes the data? With whom do we share your personal data?

The data collected by thyssenkrupp are processed exclusively by the thyssenkrupp group and Group service providers that are bound by contract. Personal data are disclosed only to the extent and for the purpose specified in the contract in accordance with the data protection laws to agencies which, for example, operate our servers or perform specific services.

The information you submit to us is treated confidentially and disclosed only within the relevant Group subsidiary to persons involved in a concrete application process. Your personal data will be disclosed to other Group subsidiaries only with your separate and explicit consent. Please note the information on this provided on the website.

The service providers of the thyssenkrupp Group for these programs are located in the EU and are obliged to deal with personal data by means of contractual obligations and data protection guidelines. To ensure availability and continuity, as well as data quality in data processing, a cloud solution is used, which can be maintained in individual service cases from outside the EU. This means in the context of your application your personal data can be processed outside the EU / EEA.

4. Data security

To protect our data we use state-of-the-art data protection measures in line with the current statutory provisions on data protection (incl. firewalls, virus scanners, intrusion detection software). However, 100% security can never be obtained through measures.

Nevertheless, we recommend that you make back-up copies of all documents of importance to you. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

Please note that under some employment contracts it is not permitted to use the internet for private purposes during working hours or using your workplace computer. Some employers monitor unauthorized internet activities at work. If you are connected to a multiple network environment you should also be aware that there is always a risk of unwanted access.
