The following mandatory fields are requested in the above-mentioned forms:

We expressly draw your attention to the fact that applications, in particular CVs, references and other data you send us, may contain particularly sensitive information about mental and physical health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or political party or sexual life.

If you provide us with such information in your application, you expressly agree that the City of Beckum may collect, process and use this data for the purpose of processing your application.

The personal data collected with the form will not be passed on by the City of Beckum to third parties without your express consent, not even to other departments that are not involved in the purpose of the transfer.
