This however only as long as it is permissible to keep your personnel data.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with immediate effect. Please inform us of this revocation by email to dataprotectionAT@schoenherr.eu. The legality of the processing of your data up to the time of revocation remains hereby unaffected.[2] Please note that we may have to suspend the application process, if you do not, or not sufficiently, provide us with your data required for the application or withdraw your consent to the processing of this data.
b) Data processing based on a legitimate interest – 6 (1) (f) GDPR
In certain cases, we process your data to safeguard a legitimate interest of ours or of third parties. A legitimate interest applies, for example, if your data is required for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims in connection with the application process (e.g. claims according to the Austrian Equal Treatment Act). In the event of a legal dispute, we have a legitimate interest in processing the data for evidential purposes.
5. With whom is your data shared?Your data is primarily processed by our Human Resources department. In some cases, other internal and external parties also participate in processing the data.
Internal parties could be specialized areas or departments of our company as well as other "Schönherr International Offices[3]".
Our external service provider is New Work SE. New Work SE, Am Strandkai 1, 20457 Hamburg (hereafter “New Work SE”), operates the e-recruiting system Onlyfy under the domain *.jobbase.io (hereafter “jobbase.io”), where companies can post job ads as well as receive and manage applications.
As part of these activities, New Work SE processes personal data solely on behalf of and for the purposes of Schönherr Rechtsanwälte GmbH and is therefore considered a processor according to Art. 4 (8) GDPR.
Jobbase.io is the central platform for our applicant tracking. When using our online form, your personal data is entered directly into jobbase.io. When an application is submitted by post or email, your data may also be transferred to the e-recruiting system.
6. For how long is your data stored?The provision of personal data is required neither by law nor by contract, nor are you obligated to provide the personal data.

The platform utilizes technically necessary cookies for this purpose. Data is transmitted to jobbase.io during the application process. In other words: data you have provided for creation of a user account and any uploaded documents are entered into jobbase.io. The data remains here if you interrupt and/or do not conclude an application. In this case, your application is marked as incomplete, but the data remains visible to our company, to a limited extent.
You can view, edit or update the data you have provided within the context of the online application at any time in your candidate profile.
If you make no further changes in your candidate profile, such as concluding an ongoing application, starting a new application or changing the data of an existing application, your data will be deleted within seven months after completion of the last active application process.
You can submit a request for erasure of your candidate profile and your application documents at any time.
