Data Protection

A. General information on data protection at Etengo

  • Trust and transparency are core values at Etengo. This is what we stand for and what we are committed to. It is therefore a matter of course for us to treat all data, in particular personal data, that you entrust to us as strictly confidential and only for the intended purpose, in compliance with the statutory provisions. Your personal data will of course be processed in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as well as other relevant laws (e.g. the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TDDDG)). We have always attached particular importance to the protection and security of all data. We guarantee that your data (e.g. in the course of the candidate presentation or business initiation/business relationship) will never be passed on to third parties without your consent. In this way, we guarantee secure and responsible handling at all times.
  • This privacy policy provides you with detailed information about which data we process when you use our online service portal and when you use the freely accessible or login areas of our website. On the other hand, we will inform you how and for what purposes we process your data if you have consented to data processing and a collaboration between us takes place or you agree to be included in our candidate pool and how we use this data and what data we transfer to third parties. It is very important to us that you understand the individual aspects and are fully aware of your rights.
  • Please note that our privacy policy applies exclusively to our own content. Links to third-party websites are expressly not covered by this declaration. This privacy policy may be amended from time to time. You can view the currently valid version of our privacy policy at any time via the link www.etengo.de/datenschutz.

4. Your Rights

You have the following rights towards us with regard to your personal data:

4.1 Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we are processing personal data concerning you. If this is the case, you have the right to information about this personal data and to further information, e.g. the purposes of processing, the recipients and the planned duration of storage or the criteria for determining the duration.

4.2 Right to rectification and completion (Art. 16 GDPR)

You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete data.

4.3 Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Art. 17 GDPR)

You have the right to erasure if the processing is not necessary. This is the case, for example, if your data is no longer required for the original purposes, if you have withdrawn your declaration of consent under data protection law or if the data has been processed unlawfully.

4.4 Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. This means that you can demand that we restrict processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 (1) GDPR is met. This may be the case, for example, if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, processing will be restricted for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the personal data. Restriction means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

4.5 Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

4.6 Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the requirements of Art. 21 GDPR are met, you have the right to object to the processing of certain personal data concerning you. You will find more detailed information on this below:

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) or f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

4.7 Withdrawel of consent (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)

You are entitled to withdraw your declaration of consent in whole or in part at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the processing of your data up to the time of withdrawel remains unaffected by a withdrawal. A withdrawel will be logged by us.

4.8 Right to complain (Art. 57 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (No. 10. of this Privacy Policy) about the processing of your personal data by us.

4.9 Exercising your rights

To exercise these rights, please send us an E-Mail to datenschutz@etengo.de or write to the controller named under No. 2. Further information on the data protection officer can be found under No. 3 of this privacy policy.

5. Storage of your Data

Your personal data will be deleted as soon as its processing is no longer necessary, the purpose of its processing no longer applies or your consent is no longer given or has been withdrawn. Please note, however, that personal data must nevertheless be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted against our company (e.g. contractual limitation periods, statutory limitation periods of three to 30 years). We also store personal data if we are legally obliged to do so (in particular the German Commercial Code, Fiscal Code of Germany, German Social Security Code, Money Laundering Act, GoBD); the storage periods are up to ten years.

6. Transfer of personal data to a third country

In relation to the purposes of the processing of your personal data mentioned in this privacy policy, it may be necessary to transfer the data to a recipient in a third country mentioned in this privacy policy. A third country is a country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Some third countries have a level of data protection that the European Commission considers appropriate and sufficient (e.g. Canada, Switzerland, Japan, United Kingdom). Insofar as we transfer data to a third country for which no such adequacy decision exists, and unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, the corresponding data transfer is based on the applicable standard contractual clauses of the European Union and, if necessary, other supplementary measures agreed with the recipient to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

7. Recipient of Data

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if we have your consent to do so or if this is necessary for the performance of a contract with you. We may also use processors to carry out certain data processing. We select these carefully and conclude order processing contracts with them in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, in which the maintenance of the level of data protection at all times is also regulated for the processor. We currently use CRM service providers and use service providers to support website optimization.

B. Data protection for applicants for internal positions

You are interested in a career at Etengo and apply for an open internal position or send an unsolicited application to Etengo AG (hereinafter referred to as Etengo). In this case, you will transmit personal data to Etengo. Etengo will process your data as part of the application process and contact you.

Your data will also be processed if you agree to be included in the Etengo talent pool.

There are various ways for you to transmit data to Etengo. Essentially, these are:

1. Data collection via the online application function or by e-mail

By submitting your application documents for an internal position advertised by Etengo (using the "quick application" function) via the Etengo application portal or by e-mail (e.g. to bewerbung@etengo.de), you agree that Etengo may use your applicant data for the application process and to contact you in this regard. The purpose of this processing is to start the application process and for Etengo to contact you in this regard. The personal data is used on the basis of Section 26 (1) BDSG to make a decision on the establishment of an employment relationship.

Internal forwarding is controlled and monitored by the Talent Acquisition & Development department. Applicant information is made available to internal managers with vacancies after consultation. General access by other persons does not take place.

External disclosure is not planned. Should this occur, the information will only be passed on after consultation with you.

Your applicant data will be stored for 6 months after the end of the application process.

2. Data collection through initiative application

With a speculative application, you apply internally at Etengo without there being a specific job advertisement for the position you are seeking. You can do this either by e-mail (e.g. to bewerbung@etengo.de) or via the quick application function in the "NOTHING SUITABLE THERE?" advertisement.

The purpose of this processing is to establish contact and the application process by Etengo following your unsolicited application.

Etengo checks each unsolicited application for your suitability with regard to current or future vacancies and contacts you.

The personal data is used on the basis of Section 26 (1) BDSG to make a decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. Due to the proactive transmission by the applicant, we assume that the applicant is sending their data for the purpose of a suitability check for a possible application process and therefore has an overriding legitimate interest in the processing of the data sent for this purpose.

Internal forwarding is controlled and monitored by the Talent Acquisition & Development department. The applicant information is made available to internal managers with vacancies after consultation. General access by other persons does not take place.

External disclosure is not planned. Should this occur, the information will only be passed on after consultation with you.

If there is no suitability, the applicant data will be immediately included in a deletion process and deleted after 6 months.

3. Data collection at job and university fairs

Did you become aware of Etengo at an event (job or university fair) or were you approached by Etengo employees at an event and are you interested in an internal career at Etengo? Then you have or will send personal data to Etengo to make contact.

We need your contact details and job preferences in order to be able to contact you to start an application process or to include you in our talent pool. The purpose of this processing is to establish contact and the application process by Etengo after handing over your contact details at a career-oriented event such as a job or university fair.

The use of personal data is based on your consent (Section 26 (2) BDSG).

Internal disclosure is controlled and monitored by the Talent Acquisition & Development department. The applicant information is made available to internal managers with vacancies after consultation. General access by other persons does not take place.

External disclosure is not planned. Should this occur, the information will only be passed on after consultation with you.

When you give your consent to be contacted, the data transmitted will be stored in an applicant management system.

Initial contact will be made by Etengo within one month. If the contact is not successful or the person is no longer interested or withdraws their consent, the data will be deleted.

If no suitable vacancy is available at the time of contact, there is also the voluntary option of inclusion in the Etengo talent pool.

4. Inclusion in the Etengo talent pool

Etengo offers inclusion in its own talent pool. This talent pool enables us to approach interested applicants again if, for example, the initial application process is not successful or no suitable vacancy is available at the time of the first contact.

By being included in the talent pool, your applicant information is stored for a longer period of time. This storage takes place independently of application processes.

For this reason, we require your consent before including you in the talent pool. This is the only way we can process your data for a longer period of time. For this purpose, you will be contacted by an Etengo employee in the given case.

The purpose of this processing is to offer you the opportunity to join a talent pool. This enables Etengo to store the applicant data transmitted during the application process or the applicant data transmitted for inclusion in the talent pool independently of application processes or after the end of an application process without a job having been found, and to use this data to contact you again with regard to potentially suitable job offers.

The use of personal data is based on your consent (Section 26 (2) BDSG).

Internal forwarding is controlled and monitored by the Talent Acquisition & Development department. Applicant information is made available to internal managers with vacancies after consultation. General access by other persons does not take place.

External disclosure is not planned. Should this occur, the information will only be passed on after consultation with you.

Once consent has been given, the application data will be stored for a maximum period of 3 years.

If there is no contact between Etengo and the applicant during this period, the data will be deleted. In principle, contact can be made on both sides and does not automatically lead to an extension of the storage period. An interest in further processing of the data must be expressed.

The data will be deleted after the three-year period has expired or at the latest six months after consent has been withdrawn.

  • Withdrawal of the consent
    Consent is given on a voluntary basis and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. In this case, your data will be deleted immediately or no later than six months after the end of an ongoing application process, unless there is another legal basis for further processing. The withdrawal of this consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out up to this point in time and has no influence on ongoing application processes. This consent can be withdrawn at any time for the future by sending a corresponding message to bewerbung@etengo.de or datenschutz@etengo.de; in this case, your data will be deleted no later than six months after the completion of any ongoing application process.

5. Further information provided

5.1. Additional declaration for special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 GDPR

If "special categories of personal data" pursuant to Art. 9 GDPR were disclosed in the documents submitted by you in the application process, the consent granted also refers to this data (Art. 9 para. 2 a) GDPR in conjunction with § Section 26 para. 2 BDSG).

However, Etengo only wishes to evaluate all candidates according to their qualifications and therefore requests that such information or "special categories of personal data" be avoided wherever possible.

5.2. Use of information from social networks

Etengo uses the job networks Xing and LinkedIn to compare applicant data and enrich it with relevant career-oriented information.

6. Feedback survey on the application process

Etengo aims to make the application process as professional and efficient as possible. In order to continuously improve and to be able to recognize potential for improvement at an early stage, we ask our applicants to take part in a voluntary feedback survey after the application process.

The feedback survey consists of questions relating to the application process, from the initial information meeting, the telephone interview through to the interview with the specialist department.

The survey is anonymous. We have taken suitable technical and organizational measures and set up internal processes for processing the data collected as part of the survey. The LimeSurvey tool, which is operated by Etengo on its own servers, is used to conduct the survey. The data collected is not passed on to third parties and no links are made to data and information from the application process.

The survey also uses free text fields; depending on the information you enter there as a participant, this may lead to conclusions being drawn about you personally. We therefore recommend that you enter factual and non-detailed information.

7. Transfer to a third country

There is no transfer of personal data to a third country.

8. Information on automated decision-making or other profiling measures

No automated decision-making or profiling takes place as part of the processing of the relevant data.

9. Is the provision of personal data mandatory or necessary?

Any provision of personal data for the purposes stated here is voluntary and has no negative consequences or effects on any ongoing application processes.

Personal data is required to initiate and carry out an application process.

10. Other

Information on your rights as a data subject, Etengo's data protection officer and the competent supervisory authority can be found below in this privacy policy.

11. Note

The information described here refers only to job offers for an internal career at Etengo.

C. Data Protection for Candidates

1. Data collection via registration on our website

You can register as a candidate with Etengo via our website and enter your profile in our specialist pool (database). As a registered user, you can log in again and again and maintain your profile on an ongoing basis. After logging in, you can apply for specific project offers without obligation or make a note of them.

When you register and create an online profile in the login area, you transmit personal data to Etengo. This requires in particular your surname, first name, place of residence, e-mail address, desired user name and a desired password. When creating your online profile, our service portal will provide you with interactive support and you will have the opportunity to complete your profile in detail. You can provide information on professional experience, skills profile, language skills, salary expectations, etc. Please note that CVs, references, cover letters or other data provided by you for the purpose of the interview may also regularly contain information on "special categories of personal data" in accordance with Art. 9 GDPR. Etengo would like to evaluate all candidates only according to their qualifications and therefore asks you to refrain from providing such information or "special categories of personal data" wherever possible. If you nevertheless provide us with information of this kind, you agree that we may process this information and transmit it to third parties in accordance with this privacy policy. Details on the content and scope of your consent follow below.

If you are already working on a specific project via Etengo AG, you can also use the Online Invoice Portal (ORP) and Online Proof of Performance (OLN) tools for monthly service invoicing free of charge.

Alternatively, you can submit a "quick application" for specific project offers without prior registration. To do this, you must provide your first and last name, a valid e-mail address and your telephone or mobile phone number. You can optionally send us a message and attach files (e.g. your profile, your CV).

Data for the purpose of registration will only be transmitted to us if you have declared by clicking on the corresponding checkbox (opt-in) that you consent to the collection, storage, processing, use and transmission of your data in accordance with the purposes stated in this privacy policy.

2. Project alert and Newsletter

2.1. Project alert

As an interested DIG.IT specialist, you have the option of activating one or more individual project alerts for your targeted project search at www.etengo.de. The respective project alert compares the project inquiries of our customers published on the Etengo website (www.etengo.de/it-projektsuche) with the (www.etengo.de/it-projektsuche) preferences specified in the respective project alert and sends you information on suitable digital & IT projects to the e-mail address specified if there is a match.

The following information is required to set up a project alert:

  • Up to 3 keywords (e.g. job title or skills)
  • Date of the desired project start
  • If desired, regional limitation by specifying zip code area(s)
  • E-mail address

After setting up a project alert, you will receive an e-mail to confirm the project alert you have set up (so-called double opt-in). The project alert will only be activated after your confirmation.

The information entered and confirmed, including the e-mail address, is collected and stored solely for the purpose of informing users about digital & IT projects that match their search criteria.

To use the free project alert functions, you do not need to be in contact with Etengo in any other way or be registered in the database.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR and the initiation of a contract through project brokerage in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

The search criteria and email address entered when setting up the project alert are stored until the respective project alert is deleted. The deletion can be carried out by the user at any time by clicking the corresponding button in one of the project alert emails sent. Otherwise, the data will be deleted when the purpose is achieved or when the business relationship is suspended.

2.2. Newsletter

From time to time, Etengo sends DIG.IT specialists a newsletter with information about Etengo's services and news on the subject of digital and IT freelancing. This includes, for example, general news, specialist articles and surveys. Etengo also uses various career networks to communicate with potential candidates or clients. There are regular information offers which candidates or clients can subscribe to voluntarily and free of charge after giving their consent.

The newsletter is aimed at DIG.IT specialists who have consented to being contacted about current or project-relevant news and information about Etengo's services as part of their inclusion in the Etengo database and who have not objected to communication for marketing purposes, or at potential customers.

Your e-mail address will be used to send you the newsletter until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. If you have consented to the advertising measure via a career network, your first name and surname can also be optionally collected. We also collect the category of your profession to enable your person to be clearly identified.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

  • Possibility of withdrawal
    As a recipient, you have the option of unsubscribing from our newsletter at any time using the corresponding button in the newsletter.
    To send the newsletter, we use the service of the service provider (processor) Sendinblue GmbH; Köpenicker Straße 126; 10179 Berlin.


3. Data collection via or from generally accessible data sources & recommendations

Etengo is a specialized personnel service provider for the placement of DIG.IT specialists in temporary project assignments.

We therefore also actively search for and obtain personal data on candidates from other generally accessible sources. For example, when searching for potential candidates in external sources such as LinkedIn or XING and other career networks, we may receive information about you. The same applies in the case of recommendations. We often receive contacts of qualified DIG.IT specialists from their colleagues, but also from customers.

In these cases, we initially only store a minimum data set of your personal data, consisting of:

  • First name and last name
  • E-mail address
  • Place of residence or zip code
  • Qualification focus (e.g. project manager)
  • Skills (e.g. SAPHCM)

We will contact you immediately and inform you about the storage of this minimum data set and at the same time ask for your consent to process your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes. If you do not consent or do not respond, we will delete this minimum data set within a period of 30 days to four weeks.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. You have the right to object to this at any time. We will delete your data immediately if you do not give us your consent to contact you again.

4. Employees of system or consulting companies

If you are an employee of a system or consulting company that works with Etengo for the purpose of project generation, we will process your personal data according to the same processing principles as we do for freelance candidates.

Partner companies can provide Etengo with confirmation that those employees from whom personal data is transferred to Etengo have been informed of this procedure (e.g. as part of the employment contract or another agreement with the employer). Etengo then processes the personal data of permanently employed external consultants on the basis of this legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and for the placement of projects on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

We will obtain consent from employees of partner companies who do not or cannot provide the above-mentioned confirmation. In the case of partner companies that do not or cannot provide the aforementioned confirmation, we will obtain consent directly from the employees of the partner company.

For this purpose, we enable a contact person to register employees of the company by means of a so-called administrator access and to organize the consent process. We require the consent itself from the respective employee in person.

5. Data Processing

The data you transmit to us will be processed by us and protected against unauthorized access by third parties by means of suitable technical and organizational precautions.

We generally create a qualification profile from your details without a postal address, e-mail address and other contact details (hereinafter referred to as "personal contact details"), but with details of your name, qualification, gender, age, place of residence, nationality, details from your profile, your photograph if applicable and details from the other data and files provided to us for the purposes of the interview.

5.1. Matching

On the basis of specific customer inquiries, we carry out a so-called "matching" to find out whether or not you match a specific project offer from one of our customers. This means that we filter out or derive skills (abilities) and experience from the data you send us (in particular from the text of your CV, your project history, etc.) in order to then match you to the customer inquiry semi-automatically, automatically or manually.

The legal basis is the initiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

5.2. Data transfer to third parties

Your qualification profile, which is stored in Etengo's database or candidate pool, is made available to customers, potential customers and service providers used by them (e.g. Managed Services Provider, Neutral or Master Vendor) as a file or via a protected link. This gives these recipients the opportunity to read your qualification profile and evaluate or select it according to certain criteria and forward it to the relevant department.

The qualification profile thus serves to introduce you as a person in the context of the project request, with the aim of realizing a project assignment with the customer or end customer. Etengo will only forward your qualification profile with details of commercial conditions to the specified recipients with your prior consent - usually in the course of a telephone briefing; in no case automatically.

Customers, potential customers and service providers used by them will not be able to search our database directly and will therefore not be given access to your personal contact details. You always decide on a case-by-case basis which personal contact data you would like to transmit before or after the decision to commission a project.

Naturally, we cannot assume any responsibility for the confidential, intended and data protection-compliant handling of your transmitted data, in particular your personal contact data, by customers, potential customers and service providers used by them. Please note this in particular when providing data in your qualification profile, when providing further data and files for the purpose of introductions and when sharing personal contact data, e.g. via a social network.

In principle, there is no legal or contractual obligation for you to transfer your personal data to Etengo.

However, the processing of personal data is necessary for the use of the services offered (the offering and staffing of interesting and innovative IT projects) by Etengo.

The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR and the initiation of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

D. Data protection for project providers/customers

1. General data collection

If you are a customer looking for highly qualified DIG.IT specialists, you can send Etengo a non-binding inquiry (by e-mail, telephone, fax or via the requirements inquiry contact form on our website) with details of your project or requirements. We will process the search requests you send us and, subject to availability, introduce you to a suitable DIG.IT specialist by sending you a qualification profile. You will not be able to see any contact details, postal address or e-mail address (hereinafter referred to as "personal contact details") from this anonymous qualification profile. However, you can see the qualification, gender, age, place of residence, nationality and, if applicable, a photograph and details from the other data and files provided to us by the candidate for the purpose of the interview. As a customer, you cannot search for DIG.IT specialists in our database yourself. This search and (pre-)selection is carried out exclusively by Etengo as a fee-based service.

You do not have to give us separate consent for the processing of the data (if it is function-related data), as the processing of your data - if it is personal data - is carried out on the basis of the legal permission of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR to initiate a contract.

2. Data collection via or from publicly accessible data sources, on recommendation or from third parties

Etengo is a specialized personnel service provider for the placement of highly qualified DIG.IT specialists in temporary project assignments.

For this reason, we also actively search for or receive personal data from (potential) customers or their contact persons/employees from other generally accessible sources. When searching for potential clients in external sources (usually via an Internet search, but also via business portals such as LinkedIn or XING and other job networks), we can obtain information about you.

In addition to independent searches in generally accessible sources, we also use the option of obtaining this information via the services of CRM service providers.

This service offers the possibility of obtaining generally accessible data on companies and contact persons/employees via automated search queries. The sources used for this are online news, blogs, company websites, register databases and social media networks with a business connection. In these cases, we store a minimum data set of your personal data, consisting of:

  • First name and last name
  • E-mail address
  • Specialist area/department
  • Registered office of the company or zip code
  • Interests/needs with regard to IT

In the case of pre-contractual contacts to initiate business or a subsequent cooperation, separate consent is not required for the processing of the data, as the processing of your data - insofar as it is personal data - is carried out on the basis of the legal permission of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. If there is no cooperation or we do not contact you, we will delete this minimum data set within the period provided for by law.

3. Data storage and processing

The data and files you transmit to us in connection with your requirements or the service you have requested are stored by us and protected against unauthorized access by third parties by means of suitable technical and organizational precautions.

We use your data to create anonymized, web-based project offers (hereinafter referred to as "company data"), which contain a description of your needs in the project or the requirements for the candidate, including the required soft and hard skills and other relevant information. These project offers can be viewed by potential candidates via the search function available on the Etengo website.

The communication that takes place between you and Etengo - whether by e-mail, post, personal meetings or telephone - is historically documented in a so-called CRM system (Customer Relationship Management System). This documentation helps us to process processes quickly, accurately and without loss of information, as well as to achieve an optimized service over time in accordance with your wishes and expectations. The legal basis is the documentation and management of customer data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

The "LinkedIn Insight Tag" creates a cookie in your web browser, which enables the collection of the following data, among others: IP address, device and browser properties and page events (e.g. page views).

LinkedIn shortens the IP addresses or hashes them when tracking the target across devices. After seven days, direct identifiers are removed and pseudonymized. The remaining data is deleted within 180 days.

Logged-in LinkedIn members can also control settings for the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings.
