It is irrelevant here whether you wish to apply for a specific position or submit an unsolicited application. Your application for a specific position will go directly to the relevant personnel department of the company. Your details with an unsolicited application will go to the HR department of ALTANA AG and from there be forwarded to the relevant personnel departments of the companies concerned. The forwarding of data to companies outside of Germany, the EU, or the EEA will only occur if you have actively consented to this in the application process (e.g. by stating your preferred area of deployment in your application letter). Your personal data will be collected, stored, and used in accordance with the current regulations governing data protection and data security. Please ensure that the information you supply is complete and accurate, since only then can your application be properly processed. Both the personal data you disclose and specific personal details (such as gender, marital status, etc.) will be treated confidentially in accordance with the current regulations governing data protection and data security. The online application procedure by contrast is encrypted. You can decide yourself whether you wish to apply for a specific position, for potential future positions, or on a speculative basis. Your data will remain stored at ALTANA AG for the period you stipulate. During the application process, so-called cookies are stored on your PC. These will not harm your computer and serve only to make more effective use of the website of ALTANA AG for you. You should inform ALTANA AG immediately of any changes to information relevant to your application.
