Privacy Notice

General introduction:

The protection of your personal data is important to us, and we want you to be secure when visiting our website. In this document, we wish to inform you about the nature, scope and purpose of the processing of your personal data. We would like to point out in advance that this Privacy Notice only refers to our website and does not apply to any third-party websites we may refer to in the form of links

Scope of protection:

The scope of the protection is personal data. Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). This mainly includes information that makes it possible to draw conclusions about your identity (information such as your name, postal address, email address and telephone number).

Technical requirements:

In order to establish a connection to our website, your browser transfers certain data to the web server of our website. This is a technical necessity allowing the information you call up to be made available from the website. To make this possible, your IP address, the date and time of your enquiry and the type of your operating system will be stored and used for a maximum of 180 days. We reserve the right to store this data for a limited time in order to protect our legitimate interests and – in the event of unauthorised access or attempts to cause us deliberate damage by such means – to arrange for personal data to be derived (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The data will be retained or passed on by us only for this and for no other purpose without our having to inform you in advance or ask for your permission.

Cookies:

Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer that you are using. When you visit our website, we use essential cookies to provide you with a service requested by you or when this is necessary for the functioning of our website.

Candidate management:

On our website, you can apply in response to the job advertisements we have posted. When you apply, you will be sending us the personal data we need for processing your application. This includes the following personal data:

• Name, address and contact details;
• Academic history, degrees, certificates, and extracurricular activities;
• Date of birth, age, nationality, details of residency and work permit, marital or civil partnership status, gender, language(s) spoken, disability status or other health-related accommodations, photo, hobbies and interests;
• Driving license, ID card, passport and visa data, as authorized or required by applicable law;
• Your job application form and accompanying details, cover letters, resume/CV information, previous employment, tasks and responsibilities, references, professional qualifications and other relevant skills;

Furthermore, if we are obliged by applicable law to do so, we may need to verify that you are not on a governmental sanctions or other governmental designation list. Most of the personal data we receive is information that you directly submit to us as part of your application and interview process. We may also receive information from third parties such as online job networks, recruiters, social media sites, or from another employee if the application was submitted through our referral program. If you have submitted your application through a third party, the personal data that you share is processed according to that third party’s privacy policies and procedures.

By granting your consent before the transfer and initiating the transfer by clicking on the “Send” button, you will be consenting to our processing of your personal data for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to TA-Recruitment@tesla.com. Your data will be stored as long as such is required for fulfilling the purpose or is required by law.

International data transfers:

We use services whose providers are partly located outside the European Union ("EU"). Where this is the case and the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for these countries, we have taken appropriate measures by concluding EU standard contractual clauses to ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers outside of the EU.
