We are pleased to provide you with the following information on how your personal data will be processed if you apply with Flughafen München GmbH and its subsidiaries, and what rights you have under data protection law. You can apply online through the applicant portal, by email or by regular mail. Your data will then be entered in the applicant portal and processed by the appropriate entity. The company within the Flughafen München GmbH Group that is responsible for your application and the processing of your personal applicant data is the company advertising the position or receiving your unsolicited application. Your data will be passed on to other companies within the Group or stored in the applicant pool only with your direct consent.
If you consent to your application being shared within the Group, your data may be passed on to the companies listed under section 1, "Controllers and data protection officers". This will increase your visibility and the possibility of being considered for a position.
If we find your application compelling but do not currently have a vacancy for you, we will be happy to include you in an applicant pool for the companies listed under section 1 once you have given your consent. That means you give us permission to store your application for a specified period of time and consider it for vacancies where applicable.
You can also apply for jobs with us through our social media recruiting partner’s platform and your personal account on this platform. The platform provider is responsible for processing data on the platform and within your personal account. Information on data processing can be found here:
https://hire.heyjobs.co/en-us/privacy-policy/
If you decide to apply to Flughafen München GmbH from your personal account on the platform after seeing a vacancy, we process the following data in our Flughafen München GmbH account on the platform:
- First name and surname
- Cover letter for the specific position at Flughafen München GmbH
- Telephone number
- E-mail address
- Other data that may also be requested depending on the job profile (e.g. qualifications, work experience)
When you send your application, these data are stored in the Flughafen München GmbH account on the platform, e-mailed to the employees in the HR department responsible for recruitment and (manually) sent to the Flughafen München GmbH applicant portal so that we can continue to process your application. The further information on the subsequent flow of data and how your data is handled is the same as when data is processed directly via the applicant portal. Please see the explanations below for related information on the purpose, legal basis, recipient, duration of storage etc.
Recipients of your data in the Flughafen München account at our platform partner may include the Flughafen München human resources department and the platform partner’s IT administrator. Applicant information stored in the Flughafen München GmbH account at our social media recruiting partner is automatically deleted no more than six months after it is received. Applicant information sent by e-mail is also deleted after no more than six months.

Please note that these providers and/or their servers may operate at locations outside the EU or the EEA (e.g. in the USA). When an applicant uses a platform, information – which may include personal data – may be sent to and possibly utilized by the platform provider. Please refer to the data protection statement of each platform provider for information on which specific data is stored by the provider in such cases and how it is used.
The applicant portal does not use platform providers' social plugins; these are only links to the platforms. Nor do we use the platforms to capture any personal data or how it is used.
After clicking on the button, you will be transferred to the platform provider's login screen. After logging in and releasing the data, the data will be automatically extracted and analyzed by the subcontractor for the applicant portal.
If you wish to ensure that no data of any kind is processed by the platform providers, enter your data manually in the application form and refrain from using the platforms.
6) Other third parties
We will transfer your personal data to other parties only to the extent that this is required to take steps prior to entering into a contract, if we or another party have a legitimate interest in the data transfer, or if you grant us your permission. In addition, data can be transferred to other parties if we are required to do so by law or under an administrative or court order. Your data will not be used for advertising purposes.
4.14.5 Duration of data storage and possibility of erasure
