4. Purpose and basis of processing personal data

The purpose of the processing and the grounds for processing personal data
The purpose of the register is to manage and maintain the applications of jobseekers. The personal data in the register is used to arrange interviews for job seekers, to communicate with job seekers and to carry out recruitment.

The basis for the processing of personal data is the legitimate interest of the controller and the implementation of the employment contract for those selected as employees. The controller has carried out a balance test of legitimate interest. Based on the test, the controller has concluded that a legitimate interest can be used as a basis for processing personal data.

5. Data content of the register

At the recruitment stage, only such personal data are collected in the register that are necessary to determine the suitability of the job applicant for the position for which they are applying. In the case of an open application, other information submitted by the applicant is also collected in the register.

The following data are stored in the person register:

  • first and last name
  • date of birth
  • home address, postal code and city
  • mobile and/or other phone number
  • email address
  • photo
  • information on training and work experience: training, language skills, work experience, possible special expertise

  • suitability assessment and other assessment

6. Retention period of personal data

The personal data of job seekers will be retained for a maximum of one (1) year after the end of the job application process. Any outdated and unnecessary data will be disposed of in an appropriate manner.

Data based on the legitimate interest of the controller may be deleted if the data subject requests the deletion of data concerning them after the end of the job application process, after all the rights and obligations of the job applicant and the controller have been fulfilled. The data can be marked as archived/inactive before the aforementioned date.

If the personal data is anonymised, the data cannot be linked to the person and, therefore, there is no defined obligation to delete the data.

7. Regular sources of information

The jobseeker’s register information is collected from the job application submitted by the jobseeker, from education, work and other certificates, and from the information provided by the jobseeker in the interview.

The data can be obtained through a recruitment company or sent by the Employment and Economic Development Centre, in all cases originally provided by the data subject themselves.

8. Regular disclosure of data

The data will be disclosed to the group companies of the controller for the purposes described in Section 4 of this Privacy Policy and to any other personal data registers of the controller’s group; the data will not be disclosed to a third party for marketing purposes or any other purposes, unless required by the authorities. However, any disclosures are always carried out in accordance with and within the limits set by data protection legislation.

Personal data will not be transferred outside the EU or the EEA.

10. Principles of register protection

We respect the confidentiality of personal data. The data is stored and processed in accordance with the classification “confidential”.
