Data protection

  1. Experteer is particularly concerned about keeping user data secure and protected. Experteer undertakes to comply with the legal data protection provisions and the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG) and the Teleservices Data Protection Act (Telemediengesetz, TMG) in particular.
  2. We herewith notify you in accordance with § 33 (1) BDSG that Experteer saves and electronically processes user data in machine-readable form. Personal data is collected, saved, processed and used as part of the contractual provision of services. Personal data is data that contains details on personal or material circumstances of a specific or specifiable user. User-uploaded application documents (e.g., cover letter, resume) are stored for 1-year. All such data is saved electronically. Data is also recorded when Internet pages are called up.
  3. The user is solely responsible for ensuring the confidentiality of his or her log in or access information (email address and password).
  4. Upon request, Experteer will provide the user with all the information on the data saved relating to the user, free of charge.
  5. Experteer does not pass on any personal individual data to third parties. An exception is, of course, the publication of the profile in which the user entered data for this purpose and the publication of which the user has agreed to by creating his profile. Also included in this exception are user-initiated forwarding of application documents to the contacted recruiter (headhunter and/or HR managers/corporate recruiters). The user can individually determine at any time to which group of persons his profile is to be displayed in full or anonymously, and whether to forward application documents. Experteer is not responsible for the confidentiality of user data and application documents which users provide/forward to recruiters (headhunters and/or HR managers/corporate recruiters).
  6. The personal settings entered by a user will be saved. This guarantees that all users get the same settings for each new session (i.e. each time they log on again). Experteer uses so called cookies for this. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We may use session ID cookies and persistent cookies to enhance our service to you. For the session ID cookie, once you close your browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
  7. If a user accesses the services of Experteer via a partner site (affiliate), the anonymised data is saved in a cookie. These cookies do not contain personal user data but are only used to maintain the partner program.
  8. The user consents to Experteer using his anonymised user data for the purposes of consulting, advertising, market research and for improving and designing the service in a demand-oriented manner. In accordance with § 15 Abs. 3 TMG, any user can object to the pseudonymous user data being transmitted to third parties for the purposes of consulting, advertising and market research as well as to an anonymised usage profile being created. The right of objection can be exercised by sending an E-mail to info@experteer.co.uk.
  9. The user explicitly consents to receiving E-mail newsletters. These newsletters are an integral part of the service and regularly inform the user about current, labour market-relevant topics and news concerning Experteer. In addition, member-specific messages are sent. The newsletter can be cancelled at any time via the link at the end of the respective newsletter.
  10. By registering, the user declares his consent for his data to be used in accordance with the provisions above.
  11. You are entitled to view the personal data we have saved in relation to you at any time and free of charge. This information is provided in writing. Please send the written request for information together with a copy of your identification card to Experteer GmbH, Lenbachplatz 3, D-80333 München, Germany.
