Purposes and legal basis for the processing of your personal data

We process your personal data on the personnel & payroll purposes. In relation to our internal staff, we are obliged to process certain limited data by the employment, commercial, social deductions and insurance regulations pursuant to the Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. We also rely on contract performance pursuant to the Art. 6 (1)(b) of the GDPR when it comes to contracts with personnel and pre-contractual relationships with job seekers and candidates on work cooperation. Based on consent pursuant to the Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR we keep CVs and motivation letters of prospective candidates for periods after the applied position has been closed, to be able to get back to you in future.

Automated decision making/profiling

We may use Workable’s or LinkedIn Jobs technology to select appropriate candidates for us to consider based on criteria expressly identified by us, or typical in relation to the role for which you have applied, what can include common profiling based on fully automated analysis of your personal data to helps us select the best candidate for vacancy. The process of finding suitable candidates may be partially  automatic, however, any decision as to who we will engage to fill the job opening will be made by our qualified HR personnel, therefore we do not consider this processing of personal data as automated individual decision-making, including profiling in the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.

Cross-border transfers outside EU/EEA By default, we do not to transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area where not necessary. As a rule, we seek to have all cloud and servers located in the EEA. However, some of our sub-contractors or the above-mentioned recipients of personal data might be based or their servers might be co-located in the United States of America (USA). After the Court of Justice of the EU abolished the EU-US Privacy Shield in July 2020, USA is again regarded a third party not ensuring adequate level of protection. Any transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area is done by us only under strict compliance with the GDPR. We ensure the third-party recipients in non-adequate countries concluded the EU standard contractual clauses (EU SCC) with us or follow equivalent safeguards such binding corporate rules (BCRs). EU SCC are now concluded with all above US-based sub-contractors or recipients (such as Workable, LinkedIn). We may also use our processors mentioned in Privacy Policy (e.g. Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft). All EU SCC concluded must not deviate from the template approved by the Commission (for controller-processor transfers). We seek to adopt additional safeguards where we believe the 3rd country partner might be subject to US surveillance laws that were viewed disproportionate by the Court of Justice of the EU.
