Sharing buttons
The share buttons of the social networks on our website are just normal links. By clicking on the corresponding link, you will be redirected to the service of the respective network. The share button only establishes direct contact between the social network and our visitors when the visitor actively clicks on the share button. Only then will your data be transmitted to the respective social network. If, on the other hand, the share button is not clicked, no exchange takes place between you and the social networks.

Furthermore, registered users can upload their LinkedIn, Xing, or GitHub contacts in the tool to receive suggestions for recommending jobs. This data is only available to the user to help them recommend suitable contacts.

Application / Talent Pool
For visitors who apply for a job or the Talent Pool on our website, we additionally store the personal information they provide in the application form. The data is shared only with the company that posted the job posting to which the user applied.

Network
We process your personal data, particularly in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and all other applicable laws. We process and collect your personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The purpose pursued is the collection of personal data from public sources for the improved provision of the user network and communication in the form of our own service.

We only collect the personal data that you have self-determinedly made available to the public. We do not collect any other personal data.

E-Mail communication
If you are in an e-mail exchange with us, data such as your name, e-mail address, company, and e-mail content are stored and processed in our e-mail software. At the end of each year, we check whether further storage is necessary or whether there are retention obligations for the e-mails. Depending on this, e-mails are further stored or deleted. You have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data transferability, revocation, and objection at any time. To do so, please send an email to mail@sprad.io.
