We may also process personal data to improve our customer focus, customer satisfaction and customer retention (customer/supplier relationship management).
2.3. Data processing for applications and in the application process
In the case of job applications, the data controller – which is usually the company that has advertised the position in question or to which you are applying – processes applicants’ personal data for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail. We process personal data that you provide to us as part of your application for the purpose of handling the respective application process, insofar as this is necessary to review your application dossier in connection with the vacant position and, if successful, to prepare the employment relationship.
3. legal bases of processing
Depending on the purpose, our processing operations are based on different legal bases. We may process personal data in particular if the processing:
(a) is necessary for the performance of a contract with you;
(b) is necessary for the exercise of legitimate interests;
(c) is based on effective consent that has not been revoked;
(d) is necessary to comply with legal obligations.
Among the legitimate interests we include, for example:
(a) our customer service and maintenance of our business relationships (e.g., maintaining contacts, communicating with our business partners);
(b) Advertising and marketing activities;
(c) the possibility to get to know the users of our website and our online services better;
(d) the improvement and further development of our products and services (e.g. IT security in connection with the use of our website; improvement of our range of online services);
(e) the intra-group management.
As a rule, there is no obligation to disclose personal data to us. However, we will need to collect and process those personal data that are necessary for the establishment and processing of a contractual relationship with you or a company for which you work. Technically unavoidable is also the processing of log data and certain other data when using websites. Also, when communicating with us, we must process at least those personal data that you provide to us or that we provide to you.

Right of rectification:
You have the right to have incorrect or incomplete personal data corrected or completed and to be informed about the correction.

Data transmissions to us take place via an open network that is accessible to anyone and crosses borders, and are transmitted unencrypted. However, emost has taken security measures to protect the data from unauthorized actions and to guarantee the authenticity of the website, the integrity of the data and the confidentiality of the data transmitted through the group’s internal network (intranet). Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that data sent in this way may be lost, viewed by third parties and thus the contact with us can be traced. Consequently, this may result in your data being disclosed or its content being changed, including in countries without an adequate level of data protection. In addition, personal data may also be transferred via or to countries without an adequate level of data protection. emost shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages resulting from such data transmissions.
