4. Embedded YouTube videos

a. Data processing

We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored on the YouTube platform and can be played directly from our website. YouTube is a service of Google LLC, D/B/A YouTube. 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter as ‘Google’). The videos are all embedded in the so-called ‘2-click-mode’, which means that no data about you as a user is being transferred to Google if you do not activate the video function. Before the video function’s activation, only a preview image loaded from our own web server is being displayed.

Data will only be transferred to Google if you activate such video functions. Once being activated, we have no influence on this data transfer. The data transfer is carried out regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.

In the course of the data transfer to Google, your personal data will be transferred to servers of Google, which might also be located in the USA. The USA is a country that does not have a level of data protection which is adequate to that of the EU. In particular, this means that personal data can be accessed by US authorities in a simplified manner and that there are only limited rights to such measures. If you activate the YouTube video function, you expressly consent to the transfer of data to Google and to the transfer of your personal data to servers located in the USA.

If you have given your consent, you have the right to revoke it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

You can revoke you consent at any time for the future by deactivating the slider of the category “YouTube” in the Cookie Settings.

5. Embedded LinkedIn content

a. Data processing

We have integrated LinkedIn content into our online offering, which is stored on the LinkedIn platform and can be viewed directly from our website. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter as ‘LinkedIn’). The content is embedded in the so-called ‘2-click-mode’, which means that no data about you as a user is being transferred to LinkedIn if you do not activate the content. Before the content’s activation, only a preview image loaded from our own web server is being displayed.

Data will only be transferred to LinkedIn if you activate the content. Once being activated, we have no influence on this data transfer.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You grant this consent by activating the content. If activated, your personal data will be transferred to LinkedIn as described above.

In the course of the data transfer to LinkedIn, your personal data will be transferred to servers of LinkedIn, which might also be located in the USA. The USA is a country that does not have a level of data protection which is adequate to that of the EU. In particular, this means that personal data can be accessed by US authorities in a simplified manner and that there are only limited rights to such measures. If you activate the LinkedIn content, you expressly consent to the transfer of data to LinkedIn and to the transfer of your personal data to servers located in the USA.

If you have given your consent, you have the right to revoke it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

6. Social media hyperlink

We have included hyperlinks to the following social media services on our website: LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Vimeo, YouTube and Instagram.

These hyperlinks are designed in the form of the corresponding logos and are stored on our own server. This means that when our website is loaded for the first time, no data about you as a user are transferred to the respective provider. You will be directed to the respective website only if you click on the logos. Further data about you may be processed on this website.

We have no influence on this data processing on the respective linked websites.

7. Chatbot/Livechat

a. Data processing and purposes

We have integrated the chatbot "Anilina" on our BASF career website. This is a service of jobpal Ltd, Third Floor, 20 Old Bailey, EC4M 7AN London and optimize-it GmbH, Kehrwieder 9, 20457 Hamburg. The chatbot and the associated data processing will only be started if you have previously either clicked the "Accept All Cookies" button in the cookie banner or activated "Functional Cookies" in the Privacy Preference Center. By default, "Anilina" is not loaded and therefore no personal data is collected from you.

If you reject the use of cookies in the cookie banner or have only activated "absolutely necessary cookies" in the privacy preference centre, we will show you a preview image of "Anilina" on our BASF careers website, but this does not set any cookies and therefore does not process any of your personal data. When you interact with the "Anilina" thumbnail to start the chatbot, we check whether you have consented to the use of "functional cookies". If this is not the case, we will ask you to consent to the use of "functional" cookies, as the "Anilina" chatbot will only work if "functional cookies" are allowed to be used.

Our chatbot supports you around the clock with general questions about applications and about BASF as an employer as well as with the search for suitable job offers as self-marketing. If the chatbot cannot answer your request, it will be passed on to the LiveChat from our BASF Talent Acquisition-Team.

The participation in a chat is voluntary and possible without registration via the BASF career website. You alone decide which personal data you disclose about yourself in the consulting chat. There is no need to tell us your name. The data provided by you will be processed exclusively for the purpose of carrying out the consultation and its quality assurance. Only data which is necessary to provide our consulting service or to handle your request will be used. This data will not be processed by besides anyone else than the service providers mentioned above and us.

The transfer of the data is encrypted. Technical and organizational security measures are used to protect the data from intentional or accidental manipulation, access by unauthorized persons, changes, loss and destruction.

b. Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of the data you have voluntarily provided us within the chat is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You give us this consent by accepting the necessary cookies.

Insofar as the chat is in connection with a potential application to BASF, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. Here we use your personal data only to answer your questions. The chat record will not be linked to a concrete application.

Apart from that, we use your information for quality assurance purposes. As far as possible, we will anonymous them. If this cannot be done, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in processing the data collected lies in the continuous improvement of our service within the framework of the chat.

c. Storage period

The chat record and its associated metadata will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. Data will also be deleted or made unavailable when a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned provisions expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling a contract.

8. Podigee Podcast

We provide a podcast via the Podigee Podcast Player. If you listen to the Podcast, your IP-address will be transferred to Podigee GmbH, Schlesische Straße 20, 10997 Berlin, Germany (hereinafter referred to as “Podigee”). Podigee does not set cookies while using the podcast player. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Right to correct: if your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete you have the right to have your personal information rectified;

Right to restriction of processing: the right to suspend the usage of your personal information or limit the way in which we can process it. Please note that this right is limited in certain situations: When we are processing your personal information that we collected from you with your consent you can only request restriction on the basis of: (a) inaccuracy of data; (b) where our processing is unlawful and you don’t want your personal information erased; (c) you need it for a legal claim; or (d) if we no longer need to use the data for the purposes for which we hold it. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further.

Right to data portability: the right to request that we move, copy or transfer (where technically feasible) your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, for your own purposes across different services;

Right to object:
the right to object to our processing of your personal information including where we process it for our legitimate interests, direct marketing;

Right to withdraw consent: if you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal information with your consent up to that point is unlawful).

Exercising these rights is free of charge. However, you are required to prove your identity by means of a two-factor-authentication. We will engage reasonable efforts consistent with our legal duty to supply, correct or delete personal information about you.

To exercise your rights, please contact us, for example by e-mail or by post. You will find the contact details in section A.
