Data Recipients:
Only the HR team that will consider your application may access your application data. We shall especially not grant access to any of your personal data to any party outside the concept m research + consulting GmbH organization. Since concept m research + consulting GmbH is organized in matrix organization with functional hierarchies, across concept m research + consulting GmbH boundaries, this may mean that your application data may be accessed by persons outside the legal entity that you have applied with.

To ensure the protection of your personal data we have entered into contracts regarding the data exchange that contain EU-standard clauses, pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c) GDPR. These contracts help to establish a level of data protection that is equal to the EU’s level.

Any data subject has the right of appeal to a supervisory authority if he or she considers that the processing of data concerning him or her is in breach of data protection legislation. The right of appeal may be exercised in particular before a supervisory authority in the Member State of residence or employment of the person concerned or the place of alleged infringement.

Data Transfers to Third Countries (Non-EU Countries):
In some cases, we may transfer personal data to third countries outside of the EU. In each case, we ensure an appropriate level of data protection according to European standards.

Internally, we have concluded an intragroup agreement on data protection and data transfers using Standard Contractual Clauses.

If data is transferred outside the concept m research + consulting GmbH and the EU / EEA, we have ensured that the recipients offer an adequate level of data protection, by either relying on Privacy Shield, Standard Contractual Clauses or other means recognized by the GDPR to establish an adequate level of personal data protection. We regularly audit our processors.

Data Security:
concept m research + consulting GmbH maintains reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, to protect personal data from being manipulated, lost, destroyed or accessed by unauthorized persons.
