We use both so-called session cookies, which are only used for the duration of an online visit, as well as those, which are used in the long-term. Long-term cookies are in particular used in order to be able to make permanently recurring settings available to you on the Esprit career platform, such as for example information that is individually coordinated to you in order to improve the comfort.

2. Data processing with the registration/use of the Esprit Career portal

Certain personal data - e.g. your name, your e-mail address, your telephone number as well as the country, in which you are based - will be collected with the registration via the Esprit Career portal as well as with each application initiated by you via the Esprit Career platform. These data are exclusively used by us for processing the respective application as well as for the maintenance and administration of your account on the Esprit Career platform and for the making contact with regard to your applications.

The registration is a necessary pre-requisite for you to be able to use our Esprit Career platform. 

In addition it is recommendable to upload application documentation as a document via the application mask. The personal data recorded by you in the application mask and attached electronic files will only be transmitted to Esprit after you have clicked the "Apply Now" button at the end of the application mask. By sending your application you grant your consent and agree to the processing and use of your data according to this privacy statement.

Esprit will, if applicable, send your personal data and application documents and make these accessible to other companies within the Esprit Group, which are affiliated under group law, (for example another regional Esprit company) insofar as this is necessary for the proper processing of an application procedure or for examination whether your professional profile corresponds with a vacancy within the Esprit Group (e.g. if the vacant position is located at the affiliated company). The transmission is carried out via a secured and encrypted Https connection. 

Your data and application documents are exclusively viewed and processed by the relevant contacts at Esprit.

If you have granted us the consent to also include your data in our career pool after termination of a specific application procedure for a defined period of time, we will keep these data in reserve for the agreed period of time. 

4. Evaluation of your data for statistical purposes

We will further use parts of the data made available by you for creating analyses and statistics. However, we do not use any personal data, but only summarize general data in an aggregated form, for example in order to evaluate how many persons have applied for which position or from which continent how many applications were received. A reference to a specific person is not possible hereby. The evaluations help us to make our career platform even more attractive and intuitive for you and to optimize the application process.
