However, our most important source of data is you; so please do not hesitate to help us update your data and notify us of relevant changes.

Purpose of the data processing

According to Art. 6 I GDPR, personal data is subject to a purpose limitation. We process your personal data in order to find you the job or project that is exactly right for you. For this purpose, you determine which data we use and which data are available to us.

Hence, we use the data of our candidates for the purpose of fulfilling our duties as a personnel service provider. In no event will your data be passed to third parties outside of MegaPart or used for other purposes without your consent.

In order to find a suitable project for you, we will forward your profile or CV to third parties.

These third parties are our clients/your potential employers with whom we have concluded framework agreements and stay in touch all the time for all purposes.

Only in cases regulated by law are obliged to transmit personal data with authorities; this requires a written request by the authority requesting the information.

Deletion and blocking of personal data

Your personal data will be processed and stored until the purpose of the storage has been achieved or this has been provided for by law. If these purposes cease to apply, the personal data will be blocked and deleted by us in accordance with the statutory provisions.

If a specific project is not considered, you agree to be considered for other projects and projects in our system for a period of up to three years. In general, we delete data records when there has been no further contact between you and us within three years

As a user, you have the right to correct, block or delete your data at any time. After notification of your wish to delete the data by email, your data will be deleted immediately.

Provision of personal data

The provision of personal data may in part be required by law or result from the contract. For the conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to provide us with personal data of the data subject. This may be the case when our company enters into a contract with the data subject.

Refusal to provide the data will result in the contract not being concluded.

Should the data subject provide personal data, a member of staff will be on hand to clarify individual case-related questions from the data subject.

Use of our website

a) Cookies / local storage

The websites sometimes use so-called cookies or similar technologies, in particular local storage technologies (also called "local data" and "local storage").

In the process, data is stored locally in the cache of your browser, which continues to exist and can be read out even after you close the browser window or exit the programme - unless you delete the cache.

Local storage makes it possible to search for vacancies and projects on our website and filter the results according to various criteria such as type of employment, area, project language and job title. The entries in the local storage are functionally necessary for the search and filtering of the jobs, in order to temporarily store the user's selection when the page is called up again or between page calls. This is necessary when the user switches between the results page and the detail pages. The entries in the local storage are only saved when you call up the search, i.e. click on the link to it, and thus request the service.

Third parties cannot access the data stored in the local storage. They are not passed on to third parties and are not used for advertising purposes.

The use of local storage techniques is necessary to enable the above-mentioned functionality of our offer. Therefore, we do not require any additional consent from you in accordance with Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. The subsequent processing of your personal data, which we have collected with the help of local storage, is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have an interest in the provision and functionality of our website, specifically to enable you to search for personnel and projects.

If you do not want our website to use cookies and local storage functions, you can control this in the settings of your browser. There you will also get an overview of your stored cookies. You can delete cookies at any time or block them from the start. You manage local storage content in the browser via the settings for "Chronicle" or "Local data", depending on which browser you are using. We would like to point out that this may result in functional restrictions.

b) Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information on so called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information is:

  • Browser type and version, operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Hostname of the accessing computer

  • Time of the server request

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to examine this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

c) SSL encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us, the operator of this website. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

d) Contact form

Our homepage contains a contact form for fast electronic contact. When you send us your request via our contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the personal data transmitted, are stored automatically in order to process the request and in case of follow-up question. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
