Applications via XING

You can often apply for jobs directly via XING and onlyfy by entering your contact details and uploading your documents to an application form. We then send your application to the company that posted the job ad.

The "Leverage your application" feature also lets you use the data from your application, irrespective of whether or not you are a member of the social network. If you grant the necessary permission by opting to use this feature, we will save your data from your application and use it to offer you a wide range of professional opportunities and share your data with recruiters. The "Leverage your application" feature also allows us to send you regular job suggestions, while other recruiters/companies can view your CV and contact you about matching vacancies. You also have the option to use your job application data to apply for other jobs. We aim to provide you with the best-possible support for your professional life, which is why we also use the e-mail address you provide to send you information about our other products and services. The "Leverage your application" does not automatically create a visible profile for you on the social network.

Visibility

Other than the companies you applied to, only you can see which vacancies you applied for. Other people are unable to see this information on XING. Only the company you apply to via XING can access the data and documents you provide in your application.

If you give your consent to use the "Leverage your application" feature, you allow us to make your application details and documents available to other companies we think may have a matching vacancy for you. The "Leverage your application" does not automatically create a visible profile for you on the social network.

Retention period

We will delete the data and documents you provide in your application via XING after a period of 6 months. Some job application processes can take several months to complete, which is why we want to make sure that companies you apply to via XING have long enough access to your application data and documents.

By opting to use the "Leverage your application" feature, we will save your data until you withdraw your consent.

Legal basis

The legal basis for this processing of personal data is Article 6 (1) b) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
