After hiring, we verify certain personal data to ensure that employees perform their duties without conflicts of interest and with integrity. The verification includes matching your personal data (name, first name, date of birth) with your original ID card or a comparable identity document, as well as verifying your certificates in the original (especially the last graduation certificate of the highest level of education). Only if necessary, we will ask you to present your residence permit, severely disabled person’s ID card, or certificate of good conduct in the original.
We also process your personal data to protect our legitimate interests, provided that your interests requiring the protection of your personal data do not override. Processing to protect legitimate interests is carried out in particular for the following purposes or to protect the following interests:
- The organization of our work processes in the form of shared services for the administration of staffing processes and the involvement of managers from different group companies in personnel selection according to cross-company work organization and cooperation structures may require the transfer of personal data to other companies of the Daimler Truck Group. This corresponds to our legitimate interests in the professional and efficient organization of workflows and the implementation of the matrix organization typical for groups of our size.
- To protect the group of companies from repetitions of serious violations that led to the termination of the employment relationship, a comparison of master data with internal information lists is carried out.
