Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

When you visit our site, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the plugin. This enables Facebook to receive information that you have visited our site from your IP address. If you click on the Facebook “Like button” while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our site to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate visits to our site with your user account.

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

This feature makes it possible to link target audiences for promotional marketing created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows advertising to be displayed based on your personal interests, identified based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. your mobile phone), on other devices (such as a tablet or computer).

Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

Protecting your personal data is a top priority for us. When processing your data, we strictly comply with the applicable legal provisions, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telecommunications Act 2003 (TKG 2003). In this privacy policy, we would like to provide you with the most important information on data processing in the context of our application process.

The data is stored in our applicant tracking system (ATS) for the purpose of processing your application. In addition, only employees involved in the application process are authorized to access your personal data to ensure the confidentiality of your data. Furthermore, these employees have been expressly obligated to maintain confidentiality.

By submitting your application documents, you consent to the processing of personal data such as name, title, address, telephone number, date of birth, education, work experience, salary requirements, and all data and images contained in your cover letter, resume, references, or other documents submitted. This data is stored in our applicant tracking system. In the case of unsolicited applications, we assume that you wish to be included in our applicant database and that you consent to being kept on record.

We process your data based on the following provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): On the one hand, due to the necessity of pre-contractual measures (in connection with the processing of your application prior to a possible employment) pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit b EU-DSGVO. In addition, we use your data to protect our legitimate interests (such as the retention of unsolicited applications, data retention in our company, and the exercise or defense of legal claims) pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit f EU-DSGVO. In addition, we process your data to fulfill legal obligations (to which ByteSource Technology Consulting GmbH is subject) pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit c EU-DSGVO. Finally, we process your data based on your consent (regarding retention) pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit a EU-DSGVO.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the respective purposes, namely conducting the application process and selecting applicants. It should be noted, however, that different national statutes of limitation or retention requirements may apply. Please note that in certain cases, such as under § 1163 in conjunction with § 1478 of the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB), there is a retention period of up to 30 years. If your application is rejected, your application documents including personal data could also be stored for a period of up to seven months after the rejection. In these and other cases (e.g., keeping records of unsolicited applications), we may also store your data beyond the period of the intended use.

Your data will not be passed on to third parties.

You are generally entitled to the rights of information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/
