onlyfy one is part of the extensive XING service operated by New Work SE, which pursues the aim of improving and simplifying users’ working lives with a variety of applications (onlyfy one, as well as the XING social network, kununu, etc.), and creates a more fulfilling working world of work for individuals while boosting the performance of companies. As part of the extensive XING service, onlyfy one is an online platform on which or through which talent and companies meet.

New Work SE supports this coming together of talented individuals and companies on and via onlyfy one. This takes place through, for example, talented individuals being recommended and displayed in the business customer’s company account, as well as through the generation and provision of recruitment-relevant information and analysis based on data that New Work SE processes in onlyfy one and, where applicable, in other XING applications or outside them.

  1. Is data passed to third parties or collected by third parties?

The data collected during your application will not be published or forwarded to third parties without authorisation, in other words, without your consent. Apart from our employees who process your data during the course of providing our services, we will forward your personal data to the following recipients:

  1. To companies with whom contact should be made as part of your application process.
  2. Subprocessors who support us in the provision of our services as IT service providers or within the framework of hosting services. These have their registered offices in Austria and Germany. Where other processors are commissioned to carry out maintenance activities, such processors may gain access to your data during the course of their work. In such cases, onlyfy will enter into an agreement with the processor providing for an obligation to comply with the applicable data protection regulations as well as the privacy and confidentiality terms and conditions under such agreement.
  3. Onlyfy and localsearch may be legally obliged to disclose your data where necessary to assert, exercise or defend the Principal's claims before an authority. If onlyfy and localsearch wish to use your data in a manner which goes beyond that described above, your express consent will be obtained in advance.


 

  1. Storage periods

(1) Onlyfy will store the personal data of rejected applicants for a maximum period of 12 months starting from the date the application is rejected. If you prefer to have your data stored for longer during your application process (for example so you can continue the application process later), we ask you to kindly adjust your preferences accordingly upon registration.

 

(2) The personal data of applicants who are employed by localsearch will be stored by localsearch for the duration of the employment.

 

(3) Longer storage periods may also arise due to the fact that the data is needed to assert, exercise or defend against claims before an authority, or where there are statutory retention obligations. The data will be stored for as long as necessary in order to fulfil that purpose.

 

  1. Data security

Onlyfy and localsearch will take appropriate technical and organisational security precautions to protect your personal data against unauthorised access and misuse.

 

  1. Your rights regarding stored data

(1) Within the framework of the data protection legislation applicable to you, and where provided for therein (for example in the case of the GDPR), you are entitled to information, free of charge, regarding which of your personal data we process and you have the right to have such data rectified or erased, to restrict the processing thereof, and to data portability. However, please note that we reserve the right to invoke the limitations provided for by law, for instance if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have a legitimate interest in doing so (insofar as we are entitled to invoke it) or require them for the assertion of claims. Please contact localsearch by email on dataprivacy@localsearch.ch to assert your rights or obtain further information about them.

 

(2) This Privacy Statement, and the responsibility and liability of onlyfy and localsearch in respect thereof, does not extend to third-party websites that are linked to or which you are forwarded to. Onlyfy and localsearch will thus also not be liable in such cases for data processing performed by the operators of those websites in the above mentioned circumstances.

 

  1. Ability to revoke consent

(1) You may revoke any consent granted in relation to data privacy at any time with effect for the future. To assert your ability to revoke your consent, please contact localsearch by email on dataprivacy@localsearch.ch.

 

(2) If we use cookies on our website that are subject to approval, and if you have also consented to the use of these, you may revoke this consent on our website in the cookies section. More information about cookies can be found in point 4 "What are cookies?".

 

  1. Validity of the agreement (severability clause)

The unlawfulness, ineffectiveness, invalidity or unfeasibility of parts of these privacy terms and conditions will not affect the effectiveness and validity of the remaining provisions.

 

  1. Complaints to the data protection authority

You have the right to enforce your rights through court action or to make a complaint to the responsible data protection authority. The competent data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner [Eidgenössicher Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragter] (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).
