This evaluation process can be categorised as profiling of personal data to the extent of Article 4 (4) of the GDPR.
Where do we get your personal data?
We obtain most of the personal data that we process directly from you (e.g. through our website, responses to job advertisements, trade fairs or other events, from your business card you give us, etc.). Sometimes we also receive your personal data from third parties, such as job portals or your previous employers if you have provided us with their contact details, and from our clients if an employment contract or other similar agreement has been entered into.
How long do we retain your personal data?
We process personal data only for the time that is absolutely necessary for the purpose which we process the data for. Most often, for the period of the selection process for a specific job position, and subsequently, if, at least, your contact has been disclosed to an employer, for the time strictly necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of our legal claims. If you have given your consent to the processing of personal data or have registered on our website, we process the relevant personal data only until your consent is withdrawn or your registration is cancelled.
If we find that your data are no longer necessary for any of the purposes for which they have been processed, we will erase such data.
