Google Analytics uses marketing cookies that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the Cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have activated IP anonymisation on this website so that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or in other contracting states to the European Economic Area Agreement.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purposes of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the course of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Google Analytics Cookies are only stored if you have selected the “Allow all cookies” option in the notice banner. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the Cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Our website uses further services of the Google Marketing Platform (formerly “Google Doubleclick”). These services use cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from being shown ads more than once.
Google uses a Cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, through Cookie IDs, Google can capture “Conversions”, i.e. whether a user sees an ad and later visits the advertiser’s website and makes a purchase. According to statements by Google, these cookies do not contain any personal information.
Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this service.

This website uses YouTube, an internet video portal provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). YouTube allows video publishers to post video clips for free and other users to view, rate and comment on these video clips for free. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the internet portal.
Each time a data subject accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. In the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting if a sub-page containing a YouTube video is visited. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component about the data subject having visited our website every time the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time as visiting our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.
The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be accessed at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
Online applicant portal
By registering with HENSOLDT, you are providing the company with your personal information about a specific application for the purpose of finding a job. Your data is processed in the systems of our software partner Workday Inc., in Europe represented by Workday Limited, Kings Building, May Lane, Dublin 7, Irland. A data processing agreement has been concluded with our partner.
To apply via our applicant portal, you need to log in. To do this, you must enter your e-mail address and a password. You also have to accept our terms and conditions. Furthermore, we offer you the possibility for a simple and self-editable data transfer for your application through the LinkedIn portal. In the course of the data collection, we collect data related to your application.
During the application process, the usual contact data such as postal address, e-mail address and telephone numbers are stored in the applicants database in addition to the title, surname and first name. In addition, application documents such as letters of motivation, curriculum vitae, work experience, educational and further training qualifications as well as job references are recorded.
This data will only be stored, evaluated, processed or forwarded internally as part of your application. They are only accessible for employees of the Human Resources Department and the persons responsible for selection at HENSOLDT (e.g. department, works council, representatives of the severely disabled). Under no circumstances will your data be passed on to companies or persons outside of HENSOLDT or used for other purposes. Your application will only be passed on to other companies of the Hensoldt Group if you have consented to this in advance.
If an employment relationship is established between you and us in accordance with §§ 3 and 4 of the German Civil Code, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 of the new BDSG we may continue to process the personal data already received from you for the purposes of the employment relationship, insofar as this is necessary for the implementation or termination of the employment relationship or for the exercise or fulfilment of the rights and obligations of the employee representation resulting from the law or the collective agreement or a works agreement.
If you have applied for a job but received a rejection, your details will be stored for around 6 months after the application process has been completed or after the last rejection has been sent and will then be deleted (profile and application). There is no notification of the deletion of the data.
We do not include applications in our talent pool without your express consent. If we are not currently able to offer you a suitable position, but we believe there is a possibility that you may be considered for a future vacancy, we will contact you to obtain your consent. You have the option of having your data deleted from the talent pool at any time. For this purpose, please contact the contact persons mentioned under point 1. Your application will be stored in our talent pool for a period of 12 months and will then be deleted.
Please do not send us job applications by e-mail, but rather use our application portal. The application process through the application portal is handled securely and in compliance with data protection regulations.
If you are invited for an initial interview, additional data will be collected using a questionnaire. In individual cases, we offer to conduct these initial meetings via an internet-based conferencing software. In the invitation letter for an initial interview, you will receive all information relevant for data protection from our HR department.
We use the following social media plugins on our website:
- AddThis
When you visit a web page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective companies. The content of the plugins is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that the respective companies collect with the help of these plugins. We therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge:
By integrating the plugins, the respective companies receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to your account with one of the companies mentioned above, they can assign the visit to your account there. When you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to the respective company and stored there. If you do not have an account with one of the companies mentioned above, it is still possible that they may obtain and store your IP address.
It can therefore not be ruled out that every visitor to our website will be recorded by the company listed above on the basis of their IP address and the visited URL, even if you do not click on the plugins and are not logged in with a user account with the company.
If you no longer wish to see advertisements based on data collected by AddThis, you can use the Opt Out button at http://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out. In such process, an opt-out cookie is set, which you may not delete in order to retain this setting.
