What personal data we collect and for what purpose: The purpose of the processing of personal data is the recruitment of new employees, customer service and customer relationship management, as well as communication. In addition, the information will be used to sell, market, implement and develop Evitec’s services and events.

Personal information is collected in connection with the management and administration of customer relationships. Personal data is also collected from the data subjects themselves (for example, when subscribing to a newsletter, visiting a website, or entering data into a recruitment system)

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is primarily a legitimate interest, contract, consent, or statutory obligation of the controller.

A legitimate interest relates to situations where there is a link between the data subject and the controller. For example, the processing of information related to the management of customer relationships and partnerships.

Consent applies to situations where the data subject has given consent to the processing of data, for example by subscribing to our newsletter or filling in their information in the application.

 

If the job so requires, we perform background checks on selected applicants in accordance with laws and regulations. By checking this box, I consent to a background check being performed.
