General

Deutsche Telekom AG attaches great importance to protecting your personal data. We always inform you what personal data we collect, how your data is used, and how you can influence the process.


1. What data is recorded, how is it used, and how long is it stored?

a) Technical characteristics: When you visit our websites, the web server temporarily records the domain name or your computer’s IP address, the file requested (file name and URL) by the client, the http response code, and the website from which you are visiting us. The recorded data is used solely for data security purposes, particularly to protect against attempted attacks on our web server (Article 6 (1f) GDPR). We do not use it to create individual user profiles nor do we share this information with third parties. It is erased after four weeks at the latest. We reserve the right to statistically analyze anonymized data records.

b) Job Alert: If you sign up to be notified about job offers on our website, you will be asked to provide your email address. This will be stored and processed so that we're able to periodically send you job offers that may be of interest to you by email (Article 6(1f) GDPR). Your email address will be stored and processed by us until you withdraw your consent for us to do so. You can unsubscribe from receiving job alert notifications at any time via the link that is contained in every email we send you and thereby withdraw your consent to our storing and processing your email address for this purpose.


2. Controlling data used by social-media plug-ins and links to social media platforms

Our website contains social media buttons (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, YouTube, kununu, whatchado, Xing or LinkedIn) you can use to share job offers of Deutsche Telekom Group or to visit our company profiles on the various social networks.

To ensure you retain full control of the data, the used buttons provide direct contact between the respective social network and the visitor only once you actively click on the button (one-click solution). When the social media plug-in or link is activated by clicking on the pictogram, including when sharing content, (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR) the following data may be forwarded to the social media provider: IP address, browser information, operating system, screen resolution, installed browser plug-ins (such as Adobe Flash Player), previous web page if you followed a link (referrer), URL of the current web page etc. The next time you visit the website, the social media plug-ins are again provided in the default disabled mode, thus ensuring that no data is transferred during a repeat visit to the website.

Further information on social media plug-ins and the scope and purpose of data processing by their providers, as well as additional data privacy-relevant information can be found in the data privacy information published by the respective controller and in the information on the 1-click solution.
