Legal basis for the processing

Your consent – by applying for a job in our company you agree that we process your personal data included in your curriculum vitae (CV) and application letter.

However, if we retain your personal data in order to protect our legal rights, e.g. if you initiate a discrimination process in relation to the recruitment process for a specific position in our company, such processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest to protect our rights.

We process your personal data for the purposes of administrating the recruitment process that includes inter alia a follow-up on your application, and for communicating with you in an appropriate manner (e.g. inviting you to an interview). We will also process your personal data in order to evaluate your application, which includes determining if you are eligible for a certain position, if your education, experience and language skills meet the requirements for this position, whether the salary level is in line with your expectations. During the recruitment process (interviews), we may take notes that may contain personal data. We process such data in order to evaluate your eligibility for the position.

Please note that we will use your application data only when recruiting for the vacancy that you applied for. In case we have an intention of processing your personal data for other purposes than the one for that the data was originally collected, we will notify you of such processing before initiating it and request your consent if necessary. For example, if we process your personal data in connection with the recruitment for a specific position, we may ask for a consent to process your personal data in the future in connection with another position in case we find you a suitable candidate for another role within our company. If you consent to this, we will process your data for the purpose of future recruitments and you will become a part of our “talent bank”.

We also process contacts of reference providers in order to assess references about a candidate during the selection process in case the candidate has indicated reference providers.

We obtain information about you when you submit your application (your curriculum vitae and application letter). We may collect personal data from a recruitment company, or career portals or databases such as CV Online, or an employment agency, or education provider or organisation that promotes education.

Submitting the application is voluntarily and you can choose what kind of personal data you want to provide and at what extent. In some cases, depending on the position you have applied for, we may ask you for additional information, e.g., about your driver’s license. It is your responsibility to provide only valid and genuine personal information. When evaluating an application, we will process the personal data provided in CV and application letter. If you submit information that is not required for the recruitment process, we will not take it into account.

Please be informed, that in case you choose not to provide your personal data, you cannot participate in the recruitment process.

You can submit an application if you are at least 18 years of age. If you are not yet 18, you should be represented by legal guardians (except special cases when you can submit application starting from 15 years of age).

Your personal data will be stored in paper and in digital format. The retention period of the data is no longer than 3 months after the vacancy that you have applied for is closed. In case you give your consent to participate in the future recruitment processes for a different vacancy, we will store your personal data for no longer than 1 (one) year starting from the moment, when we receive the consent.

We transfer your personal data to our data processors, e.g. the ones that provide us IT maintenance services etc.
