We take the protection of your personal data seriously, including on the occasions of your visit to our websites. The responsible body is Human Core Ltd, who provide recruitment and selection services based in the United Kingdom. Your data is protected in accordance with UK data protection regulations. Below you will find information about the data which is collected during your visit to the homepage and how this is used:

1. Storage of personal information

By using our candidate websites, our system automatically saves usage data for statistical purposes, which your browser transmits to us. This data includes browser type and version, operating system used, possibly the referrer URL (the previously visited page), Host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and the time of server inquiry. The data is stored exclusively on our own servers located within the EU and is only used for internal system-related and statistical purposes. It is not possible for us to use the aforementioned pure usage data to identify particular people. We do not combine this data with other data sources. Additional personal data is only collected if you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. as part of a request and or registration.

2. Use and disclosure of personal data

If you have provided us with personal data saved automatically, you do so on a voluntary basis and we use it only to respond to your inquiries, to process contracts concluded with us and for technical administration. Your personal data is only passed on to third parties or otherwise transferred for the purpose of fulfilling the contract – in particular the passing on of order data to suppliers – if required for invoicing purposes, or if you have given your prior consent. You may withdraw such consent with effect for the future at any time. The deletion of the stored personal data is carried out if you revoke your consent to its storage, if the knowledge thereof is no longer required in order to fulfil the purpose of the storage or if the storage is unpermitted for any other statutory reason.

3. Cookies

For optimal usability of our talent management websites and for website statistical marketing purposes our systems save data of every visitor that may allow identification (eg IP address, date, time and pages viewed). For this purpose, we use various types of “cookies” (small data files that contain your configuration information, IP address and usage data). The storage of cookies with your user data can be controlled or wholly or partially blocked through settings in your web browser.

If this is not blocked by your browser, depending on your settings of your web browser, you accept cookies when using our websites. A notice also appears at the beginning of each visit to our site at the top and provided with an OK button to confirm the information.

The cookies are, if they are not blocked by your browser, stored when using our websites in the memory of your computer and used in the context of the provisions of the Telemedia Act and Federal Data Protection Act and used to allow the user-friendliness of our web pages, to recognize when you are leaving and re-visiting our website and to allow continuity in scrolling (e.g. for a newsletter) as part of an online order and to consider your preferences for the intervention of advertising in your use of our websites.

Human Core and Candidate Tips uses three different types of “cookies”. The first variant is used to maintain the session during page changing, the second is to protect the integrity of session and the third is used for recognition during your subsequent visits.

We use the following cookies:

Session cookies, which expire later than 2 hours after leaving the website, for the login area for registered users
Server cookies that expire after leaving the website
Several Google Analytics cookies (different maturities up to 10 years)
Multiple Facebook cookies (different maturities of up to 2 years)

Please see sections 4 and 5 for more information about the Google Analytics cookies and Social Media cookies.

Use of our talent management website is possible without cookies. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies. However, you can deactivate the storing of cookies or adjust your browser so that it notifies you before accepting cookies. We wish to caution you that you may only be able to use limited parts of our website in case of rejection of function-related cookies.

4. Privacy in web analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files which are stored on your computer and which allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information about your use of the website generated by the cookie will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We have implemented the Java script code from Google to be data protection compliant and used a for the IP anonymization on this website, so your IP address from Google, even within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, shall be removed before submitting to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to the website activity and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address that your browser transmits within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected and sent to Google and its further processing by Google by downloading and installing a browser plugin available at the following link [http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de]. We point out that blocking of the users data only works with the device and browser via this browser plug-in, providing the plug-in has been installed and has not been deleted from your system.

5. Using Social Plugins (Facebook, Google , Twitter)

Our talent management website uses social plugins (“plugins”) of social networks facebook.com and google.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, and Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway , Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The plugins are identifiable by the respective logos (Facebook: white “f” on blue background or a “thumbs up” sign | Google blue ” 1″ on a gray background) or with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin” and “Google 1 Plugin marked “.

When you visit a page of our website that contains a social plugin, and you click the Facebook Like button or the Google button, your browser will connect directly to the servers of Facebook and/or Google. Facebook sends the content of the plugin directly to your browser, which then integrates it to the website. We therefore have no impact on the amount of data collected by Facebook using this plugin, and inform you of it according to our state of knowledge: Through the plugin integration Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook and/or Google, Facebook and/or Google can assign the visit to your respective +1 or Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by activating the “like” button or entering a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook or Google, it is still possible that Facebook or Google will identify your IP address and store it.

To find out the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data carried out by Facebook, your rights in this respect, and the settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook privacy policies: http://www.facebook.com policy.php. For information on Google + 1, please visit: https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy. If you use Facebook and / or are a member of Google and do not want that the plug-ins send user data to Facebook or Google or that they are linked with your stored Facebook and / or Google user data, you must log out of Facebook and / or Google before you visit our website.

It is also possible to block Facebook social Plugins by using add-ons to block these in your browser, like the “Facebook Blocker”.

Data Privacy Statement for Google +1 button.

Collection and dissemination of information

The Google +1 button enables you to publish information around the world. The Google +1 button lets you and other users obtain personalised content from Google and our partners. Google will store both the information that you have given via +1, as well as information about the page that you viewed when you clicked +1. Your use of +1 can be displayed, along with your name and profile photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or elsewhere on websites or on online ads.

Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google’s services for you and others. In order to use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile, which must contain, at least, the profile name. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name can also substitute any other name that you used when sharing content under your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your e-mail address or other information that can identify you.

Use of the information collected

In addition to the uses mentioned above, the information you provide is used in accordance with the applicable Google privacy policies. Google may release aggregated statistics on the +1 activities of users or forward these findings to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or associated sites.

We store and use your personal data including your home address and your e-mail address solely to process your orders for services of Candidate Tips and Human Core Limited. We store your IP address together with an order only when there is a justified interest to do so. We use your e-mail address only to supply information relating to orders and – if you do not object – for customer care, self-promotion to existing customers as well as business job-related advertising, which is related to the declared or presumed interest or professional activity of the recipient, and, if requested for our Newsletter.

7. Will your data be disclosed to third parties?

Your data will, subject to the above cookies, plugins and pixels of web analytics services (see point 4 and 5 of this Privacy Policy), not be passed to third parties. If you take the opportunity to log in to Candidate Tips and Human Core Limited via an open id provider with your Facebook ID or the identifier on Twitter or Google, instead of registering directly at Candidate Tips or Human Core Limited, you agree that it is necessary for user data to be sent from your chosen social media partner or provider of the authentication process as provided for therein and that such use and privacy processes will thereafter be used alongside your Candidate Tips or Human Core identifier (ID) and confirmed in successful log-ins.

Due to legal requirements, we may be required to disclose your personal information to competent authorities in the event or suspicion of offences or misuse of our website. Otherwise, your data will only be stored in our database and on our servers. Excluded from this are our service partners, the order or service processing required for the transmission of data as used by you to pay our banks or credit card companies and other payment service providers. In these cases, the transmission is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG), and the amount of transferred data is limited to the minimum necessary.

8. Information security

If we collect data, we store your data on our own specially protected servers at sites in the EU. Access is only granted to very few persons authorised by us who are involved in technical, commercial or editorial support for these servers. All recommended technical and organizational measures are implemented to ensure the security of your data.

We point out, however, that it is possible due to the structure of the Internet, that the rules of data protection and the aforementioned security measures are not observed by other persons or institutions not located in our area of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted shared data – even if this is done via e-mail – may be read by third parties. We have no technical influence over this. It is in the responsibility of the User to protect the data made available by themselves against abuse by encryption or otherwise.

Our website contains links to other websites. We have no control over whether their operators comply with the data protection regulations.

9. Your right of access, correction, blocking and deletion

You have a right to know and a right to rectification, blocking and deletion of your personal data. If deletion is contrary to legal, contractual, commercial or tax retention periods or other statutory reasons, instead of deletion a blocking of your data may take place.

10. Revocation of consent

If you have ordered a newsletter or if as a customer you receive promotional emails from Talent Gene as a result of your presumed permission, you are entitled at any time to revoke such permission with effect for the future. Please use the “opt-out” link at the end of the newsletter to unsubscribe.
