4. Does DNS conduct credit checks and does it collaborate with credit agencies and other companies to minimize risk?

Before signing a contract and in the event of relevant changes to the contract, e.g. a change in the bank details, DNS will carry out a creditworthiness check for services which are invoiced at a later date, in order to protect itself from non-payment. To check your creditworthiness, we use data about you personally and your payment history with existing contracts. Such data include your name, address, date of birth and customer number, the duration your contracts, your order history, payment settlement and sales figures. If the data available is insufficient to carry out such a check, we will also obtain information form credit agencies and dept collection companies, and will share with them your name, address and date of birth. We collaborate with the following credit agencies and dept collection companies: Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V.

We save the results of a credit check for one year. Additionally, we share personal data obtained within the context of the contractual relationship during the course of applying for, executing and terminating a contract, as well as any data about non-compliant or fraudulent behavior, with Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V. Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V. processes the data received and also use it in a scoring process to supply their contractual partners in the European Economic Area and Switzerland, and where applicable other third-party countries (where die European Commission has decided that there is an adequate level of data protection), with information. This may also include an assessment of the creditworthiness of natural persons. Further information on the activities of Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V. can be found at https://www.creditreform.com/

Article 6 para. (1) lit. b) and f) of the GDPR set out the legal basis for these forms of data processing.

6. How will my data be handled when applying for a job?

If you send us your personal application documents as part of a job application, we process the data you provide exclusively for the purpose of executing the application process and, if necessary, in addition for establishing an employment relationship. Your data will be stored for as long as this is required to reach a decision concerning your application. If an employment relationship is established, your data will be processed accordingly by DNS. If an employment relationship is not established, your data will be deleted six months after completion of the application procedure. Application documents received by post will be returned to you in their original form after six months. This does not apply if statutory provisions prevent deletion, if further storage is necessary for the purpose of presenting evidence, or if you have expressly agreed to longer storage.

7. To whom does DNS pass on my data?

To so-called contract processors, these are companies that we commission to process data within the statutory framework, Article 28 GDPR (service providers, vicarious agents). In this case DNS still remains responsible for the protection of your data. We commission companies in the following areas in particular: IT, sales, marketing, finances, consulting, customer service, human resources, logistics, and printing.

To cooperation partners, who on their own responsibility provide services for you in conjunction with your contract with DNS. This is the case if you commission services of such partners from us, or if you consent to the integration of the partner, or if we integrate the partner based on a legal authorization.

Due to legal obligation we are in certain cases, legally obligated to transmit certain data to the requesting government authority.

8. Where will my data be processed?

Your data will always be processed in Germany and the European Union. If, in exceptional cases, your data is also processed in countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area (i.e. in so-called third countries), this occurs if you have expressly consented to this arrangement, or if it is required for our provision of services to you, or if it is provided for by law (Article 49 GDPR). Moreover, your data will only be processed in third countries if certain measures have been taken to ensure that an appropriate level of data protection exists for this purpose (e.g. EU Commission adequacy decision or so-called suitable guarantees, Article 44 ff. of the GDPR).

9. How long will my data be stored?

The personal data of the person concerned (data subject) will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if the European or national legislation has provided for this in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the responsible party (controller) is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless the necessity for further storage of the data exists for the formation or performance of a contract.
