3. For what purposes is data processed?
Bimo AG processes your personal data for the following purposes:
a) For the initiation and execution of contracts, users only need to provide personal data to the extent necessary for setting up and using the account or for processing the application process.
Furthermore, the applicant authorizes Bimo AG to obtain references from former employers and other reference persons or to have them obtained by third parties.

d) The user agrees that Bimo AG continues to process their data after the business relationship has ended, if the purpose requires it, or to offer information on potential job opportunities or interesting open positions, or for consulting regarding their further career planning.

e) Compliance with legal regulations and requirements, such as labor law, tax and social security law, and international sanctions regulations (e.g., EU Anti-Terrorism Directive)
4. How is the data processed?
Bimo AG collects and stores the data itself. Your data will not be sold or made available to unauthorized third parties. Moreover, Bimo AG will only forward data within Bimo AG offices and to clients.
Third parties commissioned by us, who perform specific tasks for us and according to our instructions, may have access to personal data as data processors. Examples include IT service providers who handle tasks in hosting, database management, website management, maintenance services, web analytics, as well as handling incoming inquiries and data analyses. We require third parties providing such services for us to implement and maintain security measures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the data entrusted to us, and that they only collect, process, and use personal data according to our instructions and as contractually agreed.
As part of permitted data processing or transfer to third parties in accordance with these terms of use, the applicant also agrees to the transfer of data abroad. Bimo AG takes all necessary and reasonable measures to protect the data.
5. Who will your personal data be shared with?
To offer our staffing services, it may be necessary to share your personal data with third parties.
