There is also the option of speaking with our chatbot. It can help answer your questions about our job offers. Answering the questions asked by the chatbot will enable it to send you a filtered list of advertised positions. Apart from this function, you can also apply using the "Quick Apply" function. Our chatbot will lead you through the questions necessary to submit your application.
In cases where we work with a headhunting provider, they will send your application documents and we will check the application. The source of the data is the headhunting provider.

The decision as to whether an applicant should be considered for a vacancy is always reserved for a recruiter or hiring manager. No automated decision-making takes place within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.

9. Data recipients
Data is also transferred to third parties to achieve the purposes of processing listed below. This may also include the transfer of personal data to European and non-European countries and the storage of data outside the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA).
9.1 Recipients bound by instructions
We transfer your data to service providers bound by our instructions both within the PwC network and to other third parties such as IT service providers. They assist us with our work, e.g., in connection with administering and maintaining the careers pages and the associated systems and/or for other internal or administrative purposes.
PwC is part of the global PwC network of member firms, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity. In the context of our work, we use other German or foreign-domiciled member firms of the PwC network as network-internal IT service providers bound by our instructions to provide services for the operation, service and maintenance of the IT systems and applications used by the member firms of the PWC network. These service providers particularly include PwC IT Services Ltd. domiciled in the United Kingdom (UK).
When we transfer data to service providers bound by our instructions, we do not need a separate legal basis for the processing.

Where any of the above data transfers are to a recipient outside the EEA ("third countries"), appropriate security measures ensure that data transferred to third countries is subject to an adequate level of protection.
For data transfers within the PwC network, the member firms of the PwC network have, among other things, entered into an internal data protection agreement, which requires compliance with the EU standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission within the meaning of Article 46(2)(c) GDPR when personal data is transferred from EU/EEA countries to member firms of the PwC network outside the EU/EEA.
If you have any questions about these data protection agreements based on the EU standard contractual clauses or you would like further information about other safeguards and security measures applicable to data transferred to third countries, please do not hesitate to contact our data protection officer, including by e-mail at DE_Datenschutz@pwc.com.

If you do not click on the icon, there will be no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. For information about the collection and use of your data by social networks, please see the relevant provider's terms of use.

Google AdWords
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. The provider of the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you land on our careers page by clicking on a Google ad, Google AdWords will place a cookie on your computer. Conversion tracking cookies are placed when a user clicks on an ad displayed by Google.
If users visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google are able to identify that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using conversion cookies helps to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users that clicked on your ad and were redirected to a page on which a conversion tracking tag was set up. You will not, however, receive any information that would enable you to personally identify users.
For more information about the data Google processes, please see Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. From there you can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy centre.
