If Google Analytics or another non-essential analytics service is introduced, it will only be activated for visitors where the required consent has been obtained through our cookie consent system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where analytics requires consent, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time through the cookie settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where analytics is configured so that it does not require access to or storage of information on the user\u2019s device and does not identify or track visitors, processing may instead be based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, where legally permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.7 Compliance and legal claims<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may process personal data to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meet legal and regulatory obligations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respond to lawful requests from authorities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain required corporate, tax, or accounting records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investigate suspected misconduct<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enforce agreements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legal basis may be Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, compliance with a legal obligation, or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in protecting our legal and business interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. CV Uploads and Email Delivery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you submit a CV or complete a recruitment form, the information entered into the form and the uploaded file are transmitted to a designated Longhouse business email account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The information may consequently be processed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The website and form system used to transmit the submission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The website hosting provider<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The email delivery infrastructure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longhouse\u2019s business email service provider<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Authorized Longhouse employees, recruiters, consultants, or representatives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The website may temporarily process or store form data and uploaded files for the technical purpose of transmitting the submission, preventing spam, providing delivery records, handling errors, or maintaining website security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We take reasonable steps to configure the form so that submissions are not retained on the website for longer than operationally necessary. However, temporary copies, system logs, email delivery records, backups, or security records may remain for limited periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After delivery, the CV and form information are stored in the receiving Longhouse email account and, where appropriate, may be transferred to an access-controlled recruitment or candidate-management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access is limited to persons who require the information for recruitment, administration, legal compliance, technical support, or related business purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email is not an entirely risk-free communication method.

Embedded Content, Links, and Third-Party Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The website may contain links to LinkedIn or other third-party websites, professional networks, maps, videos, social media services, or external resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selecting an external link takes you to a service controlled by another organization. That organization processes personal data according to its own privacy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where third-party content is embedded directly into our website and may transmit personal data before interaction, we will use an appropriate consent mechanism where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11.

Personal data may therefore be accessed, transferred, or processed outside the European Economic Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some service providers, email providers, cloud providers, analytics providers, recruitment partners, or prospective employers may also be located outside the European Economic Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where personal data are transferred to a country that has not been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection, we will use an appropriate transfer mechanism where required, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supplementary technical and organizational safeguards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contractual and confidentiality obligations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An applicable adequacy decision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another lawful transfer mechanism under Chapter V GDPR<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where a transfer is based on explicit consent or another limited GDPR derogation, we will apply that mechanism only where legally appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may contact us for information about the safeguards applicable to a particular transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Retention of Personal Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, regulatory, contractual, security, and dispute-resolution requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.1 Unsuccessful employment applications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where an application concerns direct employment with Longhouse and the applicant is not selected, application records will generally be retained for up to six months after completion of the relevant recruitment process, unless:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A longer period is required by law<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The information is required for a legal claim<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The applicant has consented to longer retention for future opportunities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.2 Candidate database and future opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where you consent to inclusion in our candidate database or submit your CV for future opportunities, we may retain the information for up to 24 months from the most recent meaningful contact, submission, update, or consent renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may contact you before the end of that period to ask whether you wish to remain in the database. If consent is not renewed where required, the information will be deleted or anonymized, subject to legal retention needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.3 Contact enquiries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General enquiries and related correspondence may be retained for up to three years after the matter is completed, unless a longer period is required for a contract, legal obligation, or legal claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.4 Contract and business records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information related to contracts, invoices, accounting, taxation, and business relationships may be retained for the periods required under applicable commercial and tax laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.5 Technical and security logs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technical logs may generally be retained for a limited period appropriate to security and troubleshooting. Information relating to a security incident may be retained longer where necessary to investigate the incident, protect our systems, or establish legal claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.6 Consent records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Records demonstrating consent or withdrawal may be retained for as long as necessary to demonstrate compliance with legal obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When personal data are no longer required, we will delete, anonymize, or securely isolate them, unless continued retention is legally required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unauthorized access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accidental or unlawful destruction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss or alteration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unauthorized disclosure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misuse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malware and cyberattacks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measures may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Encrypted website connections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Password protection and multifactor authentication where appropriate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restricted administrative access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security monitoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Firewalls and anti-malware measures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Software updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Staff confidentiality obligations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service-provider agreements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internal privacy and security procedures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security measures are reviewed and adjusted according to the nature of the processing, available technology, implementation costs, and the risks to individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No system can guarantee complete security. You should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through an online form or ordinary email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Automated Decision-Making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not currently make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects solely through automated processing of website or CV information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may use technology to organize, search, filter, or assist in matching candidate profiles with potential opportunities. Such tools support human review and do not, by themselves, make final employment or recruitment decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we introduce automated decision-making covered by Article 22 GDPR, we will provide the required information about the logic involved, the significance and consequences of the processing, and the applicable rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Your Data-Protection Rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subject to the conditions and limitations of applicable law, you may have the following rights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Right of access:<\/strong> You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to rectification:<\/strong> You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to erasure:<\/strong> You may request deletion of personal data where the legal requirements are met.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to restriction:<\/strong> You may request that processing be restricted in certain circumstances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to data portability:<\/strong> You may request certain information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to object:<\/strong> You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including related profiling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to withdraw consent:<\/strong> You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to object to direct marketing:<\/strong> You may object at any time to processing for direct-marketing purposes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right concerning automated decisions:<\/strong> You may have rights relating to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to complain:<\/strong> You may lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where processing is based on our legitimate interests, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will stop the processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for legal claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To exercise your rights, contact <a href=\"mailto:info@longhouse.eu\"><strong>info@longhouse.eu<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Supervisory Authority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority, particularly in the EU or EEA country of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The supervisory authority generally responsible for private-sector organizations established in Bavaria is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bayerisches Landesamt f\u00fcr Datenschutzaufsicht, BayLDA<\/strong><br>Promenade 18<br>91522 Ansbach<br>Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also contact another competent supervisory authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. Obligation to Provide Personal Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are not generally required by law to provide personal data through the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, certain information may be necessary for us to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Respond to an enquiry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review a CV or application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Match you with an opportunity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter into or perform a contract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meet legal or regulatory obligations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without the required information, we may be unable to provide the requested service or consider an application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">20. Children\u2019s Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The website and recruitment services are not intended for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the website except where legally permitted and appropriate for a specific service. If you believe that a child has submitted personal data without appropriate authorization, please contact us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">21. Changes to This Privacy Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may update this Privacy Policy when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Our website or services change<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New forms, analytics, advertising, recruitment, or communication tools are introduced<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service providers change<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our processing activities change<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal or regulatory requirements change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revised version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where a change materially affects processing based on consent, we will request new consent where required. Publishing an updated Privacy Policy does not replace the need to obtain consent for non-essential cookies or other processing that legally requires consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">22.
