When applying for a position through https://werkenbij.stulz-benelux.com, you are asked to provide personal data such as your CV, cover letter, contact details, and employment history. These data are used exclusively to process your application and communicate with you during the recruitment process.

Access to your information is restricted to HR personnel and relevant managers. Your data will not be shared with third parties without your consent. Application data will be retained for a maximum of 4 weeks after the procedure ends, unless you consent to a longer retention period of up to 1 year for future opportunities.

  • Pages viewed
  • Referring URL
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Anonymized IP address

This data is not linked to individual visitors and is used solely for system administration, statistical analysis, and website optimization.

4. Use of Google services

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.) to gain insights into website usage. This service is only activated after you have given consent for analytical cookies (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). IP anonymization is enabled.

Google may process data outside the EU. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and use the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission for international data transfers.

You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings or by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

4.2 Google Ads

We use Google Ads to display relevant advertisements based on your browsing behavior. Cookies may be used to record your interactions and interests. This processing takes place only with your consent. You can manage your ad preferences via your Google account.

5. Social media plugins

Our websites may include social media buttons or plugins (for example, LinkedIn, Facebook, or X (Twitter)). When you use these, the relevant platform may receive information about your visit, which may also involve data transfers to third countries (such as the United States).

STULZ has no control over how these platforms process your data. Please refer to the respective platform’s privacy policy for more information. If you do not wish your visit to be linked to your profile, please log out of your social media account before visiting our website.

You have the following rights under the GDPR:

  • Right of access – to know what personal data we process and why.
  • Right to rectification – to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – to have your data deleted where legally possible.
  • Right to restriction of processing – in certain circumstances.
  • Right to data portability – to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

8. Data sharing and processors

We do not sell or rent out your personal data. Your data may be shared with trusted service providers (such as hosting companies or recruitment software providers) that process personal data on our behalf under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR).

We may also share data when required by law or upon request from competent authorities.

9. International data transfers

If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or an equivalent level of data protection in the receiving country.

10. Retention periods

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Data received via contact forms or email are typically deleted within 12 months, unless further follow-up is required.
