Thank you for your interest in Aquila Capital. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we will inform you about the collection, processing and use of your personal data in the context of your job-application in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations in the following.

DATA COLLECTION AND LEGAL BASIS

We will collect from you and process the following personal data in the context of your online application (both on-spec applications and applications for job vacancies posted online):

• Last name, first name
• Telephone number
• E-Mail address
• Location
• Motivational Statement/Letter of Application
• Resume

The data collected from you is processed for the purpose of establishing an employment relationship (application process, initiation of an employment relationship). If the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") applies, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b. GDPR.

Data Controller

The data controller for the processing data processing is the company of Aquila Capital (meaning Aquila Capital Investmentgesellschaft mbH (including its branch offices) and its subsidiaries within the meaning of §§ 15 ff. German Stock Corporation Act) where the applicant is to be employed in the future. The contact information can be found here: www.aquila-capital.de/en/contact/locations

PURPOSE OF DATA Processing 

If you apply for an open position in our company, we will process your personal data to decide on whether to hire you (Art.6 (1) b. GDPR). If you use the career-link on our website (Recruiting & Onboarding | Aquila Capital Career) to apply to a job advertisement and provide a profile/resume to us, we will use that personal data to create our own professional profile for you. The processing of applications that are not sent via our applicant portal, but to general contact addresses on our website, is based on Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to identify suitable candidates for vacancies and to make the application process efficient. This includes reviewing and processing applications sent to our general contact addresses to ensure that no potential talent is overlooked. In doing so, we ensure that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of applicants do not prevail. Given that we will store your work history in this case, your submission must not contain any sensitive information with respect to race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or beliefs, trade union or political party memberships, genetic, physical or mental health status, dependencies, sexual orientation, criminal offences or criminal proceedings and related penalties or fines, social security number or national ID. If your profile contains such information regardless, you agree that we may store that information and also use it in accordance with the GDPR. Please also note that where you provide information of a third party to us as a reference you are responsible for ensuring that the person involved is aware of your disclosure of his/her personal data and has provided his/her written consent to this disclosure.

DATA TRANSFER AND DISCLOSURE

For the purposes mentioned above, we may share your data within Aquila Capital. If we intend to hire you for a position at Aquila Capital, Aquila Capital’s main shareholder Commerz Real AG may require us to disclose your name to them for the performance of a reliability check in accordance with the applicable requirements for the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism. For more details please see the KYC-Information in our general Privacy Policy.

RETENTION PERIOD FOR APPLICATION DATA

Your data will automatically be erased six months after completion of the application procedure. This does not apply in cases in which legal regulations do not permit the erasure, where storage must be continued for evidentiary purposes or where you have expressly consented to a longer storage period.

STORAGE FOR FUTURE JOB VACANCIES

If we are unable to offer you a current vacancy but believe, based on your profile, that your application might be interesting with respect to future job vacancies, we will store your personal application data for a period of twelve months if you expressly agree to this storage and use. You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time by contacting us or our data protection officer. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is therefore not affected by a revocation.

DATA SECURITY

We have implemented various technical and organisational measures to protect the data collected in the context of your application against manipulation and unauthorised access.
