If you do not confirm within 24 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted.

Online job applications

#section–text-block_edc5dae98f0c98f6f4e2229df5316dd6

Online job applications can be submitted through our website. An online application may only be made by e-mail from your personal e-mail system to the Menschen für Menschen Foundation. In this case, no information is acquired online and stored by us.

When you submit an application, we collect and store the data that you send us by e-mail. We process your data solely for the purpose of processing your application. It will not be passed on to a third party. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) b GDPR. If we are unable to offer you a position, we will save your data for a maximum of 6 months after conclusion of the application process.

We would like to point out that certain risks are associated with the transfer of data via the Internet (see Data privacy in the Internet).

Only you yourself can ensure that the confidentiality of your personal data is preserved, e.g. with the aid of encryption tools.

Of course, we will be pleased to receive your messages, queries and applications by regular mail. You can decide.

Intention to transfer to a thrid country or international organization

#section–text-block_63086f652a31c6162d00079bd3da8c54

As a rule, your data will be processed in Germany. However, to fulfil the purpose of the contract it may be passed on to an external processor within the European Union or European Economic Area where the data protection level is equivalent to Germany.

Should it be necessary to transfer your data to a service provider in a non-European country, we will first of all require the provider to adhere to the so-called EU standard contractual clauses, by which processing for us as a client must satisfy an appropriate data protection level that is comparable with the German standard, even if such a standard is not a legal requirement at its place of business.

#section–heading-separator-block_4c5df62f719338f7998f51fb709b6f38

Data retention period

#section–text-block_e849d9c453ae8dcf55cc53de6889b8a4

We process and store your data for only as long as is needed for processing or compliance with statutory obligations. Once the purpose of processing ceases to exist, your data will be blocked or deleted.

Insofar as further statutory storage obligations exist, e.g. commercial or tax retention obligations (e.g. commercial code, tax code), we will block or delete your data upon expiration of the statutory retention period.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable us to analyse your use of our website. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is generally passed on to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Because IP anonymization has been activated on this website, as a Google user your IP address is first truncated within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address transmitted 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, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services to the website operator that are related to the use of the website and the Internet. Google will not associate the IP address provided by your browser for the Google Analytics process with any other data.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. IP addresses can therefore be processed only in abbreviated form in order to prevent personal references.

You can prevent the storage of cookies making the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note, however, that in this case you we may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Furthermore, you can prevent the information generated by cookies regarding your usage of the website (including your IP address) from being transmitted to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
