3.2. If You Visit Our Office

In this case, we will ask you to identify yourself and provide basic information about yourself (your name and the organization you work for or represent). We may also record the day and sometimes the specific time of your visit, as well as details about the people you met with. We will use this information based on our legitimate interest in controlling access to our office and ensuring security, as well as for internal reporting and monitoring of the activities of our employees with whom you meet.

3.3. If You Participate in Our Event (Conference, Presentation, Cocktail, Charity Action, etc.)

We will collect the necessary information for your registration and participation. Occasionally, we may ask for your preferences to make the event more enjoyable or useful for you. Some events may be recorded with cameras or photographed, and we may use relevant footage or images, as well as information about your participation, to promote the event in media, on our website, in presentations, or elsewhere. If this concerns you, you can notify us in advance that you do not wish us to publish information or images of you. We will also retain basic information about you to occasionally contact you and send information about similar future events. Additionally, we may request your feedback on how you evaluated the event. You always have the right to object to this use of your data, as described below in connection with your rights.

3.4 When You Participate in Promotional Campaigns

We process the data you provide for participation in campaigns, e.g., via social media.

3.5 When You Interact with Us on Social Media
If you have “liked” or “followed” our profile on a social network, according to the practices of the respective network, you will see messages, advertisements, or materials we publish on our page. If you send us an inquiry through the respective page or, for example, comment on one of our posts, we may use the functionalities of the same network to respond to you. If you have requested to be contacted through another means (e.g., by providing your phone number), we will comply with your preference, based on our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry.

3.6. If You Participate in Our Training Programs
We will collect the necessary information to register you. We will process information regarding your participation, performance, and any examinations (if applicable).
We will also retain basic information about you to occasionally contact you and share information about similar training programs. We may ask for your feedback on how you evaluate the training. You always have the right to object to this use of your data, as described below in connection with your rights.

3.7. If You Are a Business Contact
This means that you represent an organization that is our partner, client, or supplier, or you are an employee of such an organization. To maintain our business relationship with the organization, we may need information about you, such as your name, phone number, email, Skype contact, business card, and information about your position within the organization.


We may also process:

  • Written, electronic, or other correspondence with you.
  • Data included in documentation related to our relationship with the organization, such as your signatures, statements, or behavior descriptions.
  • Any other information necessary for maintaining business relations with the organization.

     

3.8. If You Are a Potential Business Contact
This means you represent an organization that could become our partner, client, or supplier, or you are an employee of such an organization. We may obtain your information from professional public registries, mutual business contacts who recommended you, or events and meetings where you shared your business card or contact information.
In such cases, we will assess the purpose and basis for using your contact data. We will consider the context and your reasonable expectations regarding how we use your personal data. If we determine a legitimate interest to contact you (e.g., to request a quote, propose a partnership, or offer a product/service), you always have the right to object to such use of your data, as described below regarding your rights.
In some cases, we may request your consent, which you can always refuse.

3.9. If You Apply for a Job with Us
This means you have expressed interest in becoming our employee by entering into an employment contract with us. This may occur in two scenarios:

  1. When you apply for a specific position we have advertised and submit your CV and/or cover letter.
  2. When you send your CV and/or cover letter unsolicited, to be contacted for a suitable vacancy.

     

To evaluate your application, we will review the information you provide. If we definitively determine that you are unsuitable, we will delete your personal data within one week of making this decision, but no later than two months after the application deadline for the position.

If you applied for a specific position but are not selected, and we wish to retain your information for future opportunities, we will contact you to seek your consent. If you apply without targeting a specific position, we will assume you are generally interested in our organization. Based on this, we may retain your information to offer job opportunities in the future, relying on our legitimate interest in recruiting interested candidates.

We will retain your information for the duration you specify or, if unspecified, for up to three years. During the recruitment process, we may also collect additional information, such as feedback from interviews, tests, and references. If we determine you are unsuitable, we will delete your data.

Please avoid providing unnecessary information not relevant to your job application.

  • Compliance with legal, pre-contractual, or contractual obligations: for example, ensuring salaries and taxes are processed correctly.

  1. Privacy Policy – Mediation for Employment and Recruitment Services
  2. Introduction

This Policy explains how we collect and process your personal data in connection with our employment mediation, recruitment services, and related activities (referred to collectively as “services” or “our services”).

Employment mediation includes the provision of intermediary services, individually or collectively, such as:

  • Informing and/or advising job seekers and employers;
  • Psychological support for job seekers;
  • Referral for adult education;
  • Guidance and assistance in starting work, including relocation within the country or abroad.

     

This involves assisting job seekers and employers offering positions to facilitate the signing of employment contracts.

1.2. What is recruitment?

Recruitment is a service we provide to employers with whom we have contracts. It involves evaluating whether candidates meet the employer’s requirements for a specific position.

  1. Your Responsibilities:

  • If you are already a client, review the terms of our agreements related to personal data processing.
  • Pay attention to additional information and conditions communicated at different stages of our interaction.

  1. Who is responsible for processing your personal data?

3.1. Our Responsibility

Our services aim to connect you with employers seeking employees. When your data is shared with an employer through us, they also become responsible for your data as a Data Controller. You can contact the employer directly regarding your personal data, or reach out to us for assistance during the application process.

  1. What data do we process, for what purpose, and on what basis?

This information is used to pre-screen candidates for suitability based on the employer’s requirements. If you qualify, we may offer you a mediation agreement to connect you with the employer.

4.1.1. Next Steps

(a) If you are not suitable for a position or the position is closed, your data will not be shared with the employer. However, we may retain your data for up to 24 months to match you with similar positions, based on our legitimate interest to connect suitable candidates with employers.

If you object to this, you can request the deletion of your data at any time.

(b) If your profile matches the position, we will invite you for an interview or directly connect you with the employer. A mediation agreement will be required to proceed further.

4.2. Data submitted without applying for a specific position

In such cases, we will include your data in our database to look for positions matching your profile, based on our legitimate interest to provide mediation services.

4.3. Information received from third parties

If we receive your data from someone else, we will:
(a) Delete the data if it was shared by mistake.
(b) Contact you to confirm your interest in our services and offer a mediation agreement.

4.4. Providing our mediation services

We require a mediation agreement to provide our services, which entails processing your personal data in compliance with legal requirements.

4.5. Legitimate Interests

We may process your data for legitimate interests such as:

  • Business development as a mediator.
  • Administration and reporting of activities.
  • Communication with you.
  • Protection of our legal rights.

To provide personalized services, we may create a profile based on your qualifications and preferences, and share relevant information with employers.

We generally avoid processing sensitive data (e.g., health or political beliefs) but may require it for specific services, with your explicit consent.

4.10. Obligation to Provide Data

Failure to provide required data may result in our inability to offer certain services or complete agreements.

4.11. Use of Data for Compatible Purposes

  1. Marketing Communications

The legal basis for processing your personal data when we send you marketing messages is your consent or our legitimate interests (namely, to grow our business as an employment intermediary). These messages may include information about our seminars, events, training sessions, and more.
Before sharing your personal data with any third party for their marketing purposes, we will seek your consent.

5.1. How to Opt-Out of Our Marketing Communications

You can opt out of receiving marketing messages by following the unsubscribe links in any marketing message sent to you or by emailing us at [email protected] at any time.
If you opt out of receiving marketing messages, this opt-out does not apply to personal data provided for other legal grounds (e.g., in relation to a legal obligation or contractual agreement with us).

  1. How We Collect Your Personal Data

We primarily obtain data directly from you. However, we may also receive data from other sources, such as your employer, if you have attended an interview or been hired through our services. In some cases, we may collect information about you from public sources or your online profiles (e.g., LinkedIn), provided that our legitimate interest (to accurately assess your suitability as a user of our intermediary services) does not override your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms.

  1. Sharing Your Personal Data with Others

7.1. Employers

To fulfill our intermediary agreement with you and the employer, we will share your data, including your profile details, with the employer offering the relevant position. This may be a position you have applied for or one deemed suitable for you if you are seeking employment through us generally.
Before sharing your personal data with an employer not explicitly identified at the time of your application for a specific position, we will provide you with identifying information about them unless you have explicitly authorized us in writing to share your data with all employers we deem appropriate.

7.2. Other Parties

Beyond potential employers, we may share your personal data with:

  • 7.2.1. Within Our Group of Companies: If applicable, based on our legitimate interest in managing and reporting on our activities.
  • 7.2.2. Service Providers (Data Processors): Such as hosting companies, IT service providers, system administrators, couriers, and mobile operators. We enter contracts with these providers to ensure the security of your data.
  • 7.2.3. Other Data Controllers: Including banks, auditors, lawyers, consultants, insurers, and event organizers, when necessary to serve our legitimate interest in obtaining specific services.
  • 7.2.4. Public Authorities: Such as the Employment Agency and Labor Inspectorate, as required by their regulatory authority over our employment intermediary activities.
  • 7.2.5. Third Parties in Business Transactions: If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your data may be shared to support the analysis or execution of such transactions.

     

  1. International Data Transfers

Personal data is typically processed within the European Union or the European Economic Area, and we do not intend to transfer personal data to other countries (“third countries”).

8.1. Data Transfers to a “Third Country”

If we transfer your personal data to a third country, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed. This may be based on a European Commission decision regarding the adequacy of data protection in the third country. Alternatively, transfers may rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses agreed with the recipient, or, for recipients in the USA, compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Program.
Additional information about safeguards to ensure adequate data protection can be provided upon request.

  1. Data Security

We have implemented security measures to prevent accidental loss, unauthorized use, alteration, disclosure, or access to your personal data. Access is granted only to employees and partners who have a business need to know and who process your data under our instructions, maintaining its confidentiality.

  1. Data Retention Period

We will retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, tax, or reporting requirements.
When determining the retention period, we consider the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the data, potential risks from unauthorized use or disclosure, processing purposes, and whether these can be achieved through other means, alongside legal requirements.
In some cases, we may anonymize your personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case the information may be used indefinitely without further notice to you.

YOUR RIGHTS
11.1. Under certain circumstances, you have the following rights by law:


11.1.1. Request access to your personal data (commonly referred to as a “data subject access request”). This allows you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and check that we are processing it lawfully.


11.1.2. Request correction of the personal data we hold about you. This enables you to correct and update any incomplete or inaccurate information we have about you.


11.1.3. Object to the processing of your personal data when we rely on our legitimate interest (or that of a third party) and there are grounds related to your particular situation. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling.


11.1.4. Request the deletion of your personal data. This means you can ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it. You also have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal data if you have exercised your right to object to processing.


11.1.5. Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This allows you to pause the processing of your personal data, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.


11.1.6. Request the transfer of your personal data to another party (data portability).


11.1.7. Withdraw your consent. If we process personal data based on your consent or explicit consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the withdrawal.

11.2. Exercising Your Rights
If you wish to exercise any of the rights listed above or obtain more information about them, please email us at [email protected] or send a letter to our physical address specified in section 3.
There will be no charge for accessing your personal data (or for exercising any of your other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, or we may refuse to comply with your request under these circumstances.

We may need specific information from you to confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This security measure ensures that personal data is not disclosed to anyone who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to request further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it may take us longer, in which case we will notify you.

  1. YOUR RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA
We collect personal data about you during the recruitment process, for example, directly from you or from the end user company. We may sometimes collect additional information from professional websites, such as LinkedIn.
During the term of the contract, we receive personal data from: you, the end user company, and third parties, such as clients of the end user company with whom you are in contact.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We will process your personal data only if we have a legal basis for doing so. Most often, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

We may also use your personal data in the following situations, although they are very rarely applicable in practice:

  1. When it is necessary to protect your vital interests (or those of another person).
  2. When necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority.

     

PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We will process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Preventing fraud, theft, and other crimes.
  • Preventing administrative violations.
  • Ensuring network and information security, including preventing unauthorized access to our or the end user company’s computer and communication systems and preventing the spread of malicious software.

     

If you decide not to provide certain personal data we request, we may be unable to fulfill our obligations to you (for example, paying your remuneration or benefits) or you may hinder our ability to comply with legal obligations (for example, issuing and providing specific documents related to your employment).
We may sometimes use your personal data without your knowledge or consent when required or permitted by law.

HOW WE USE SENSITIVE DATA
“Special categories” of personal data require a higher level of protection than non-sensitive data. To process such sensitive data, we must have an additional legal basis/condition. We may process special categories of personal data under the following circumstances:

  1. In limited cases, with your explicit written consent.
  2. When necessary to comply with our legal obligations or to exercise rights related to labor legislation.
  3. In other circumstances explicitly provided by GDPR, such as:

     

  • When necessary for legal claims;
  • When necessary to protect your vital interests (or those of another person) and you are unable to give your consent;
  • When you have already made the information public.

     

We will use your sensitive personal data in the following ways:

  • In relation to your leaves, which may be due to illness or family-related leave, in order to comply with labor and other laws.
  • In relation to your physical or mental health or disability status, to ensure health and safety in the workplace and assess your fitness to work, to provide suitable adjustments to your work, such as in cases of reassignment, and to administer payments, benefits, and other matters related to illness-related absences.
  • In relation to your union membership information, to ensure your protection status in case of dismissal and comply with other legal requirements.

     

CRIMINAL RECORDS
We may process data related to criminal convictions only when there is a legal basis for such processing.

AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING
Automated decision-making takes place when an electronic system uses personal information to make a decision without human intervention. We are entitled to use automated decision-making under the following circumstances:

  1. When we notify you of such a decision and give you a reasonable period to request a review.
  2. When necessary to enter into or perform our contract with you, and appropriate measures are in place to protect your rights.
  3. In limited circumstances, with your explicit written consent and appropriate measures to protect your rights.

     

If we make an automated decision based on sensitive personal data, we must have your explicit written consent or it must be in the public interest, and we must apply appropriate measures to protect your rights.
You will not be subject to decisions that significantly affect you based solely on automated decision-making unless we have a legal basis for doing so, in which case we will notify you.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR DATA OUTSIDE OUR COMPANY
We exchange information about you mainly with the end user company where you work to fulfill our obligations/exercise our rights under our contract with you, our contract with the end user company, and under the law.
We may need to share your personal data with other third parties, including service providers, for example, because it is necessary to administer our employment relationship with you or when we have other legitimate interests in doing so. These could be accounting firms, lawyers, auditors, and other organizations that provide us with services.
We may also transfer your personal data to other entities within our group of companies (including owners), as part of our regular reporting activities to present the company, in the context of a business reorganization or group restructuring, or for system maintenance and data hosting.
We may share your personal data with other third parties, such as in the context of a potential sale or restructuring of the business. We may also need to share your personal data with government regulators or for other legal requirements.
These third parties are required to keep your personal data confidential and protected.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Your personal data is usually processed within the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).
If we transfer information to “third countries” (outside the EU and EEA), we ensure that the necessary level of data protection is in place before such transfer, either based on a European Commission decision on adequate data protection in a specific third country or through “Standard Contractual Clauses” agreed with the recipient, or if the recipients are in the U.S., based on compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (Data Privacy Framework).
We are happy to provide further information about the appropriate and relevant safeguards for ensuring an adequate level of data protection upon request.

DATA SECURITY
We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent accidental loss, unauthorized use or access to your personal information, alteration, or disclosure.
We have procedures in place to address any potential data security breaches and will notify you and any relevant supervisory authority when required by law.

DATA RETENTION
We will keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
For tax purposes, the law requires us to retain basic information (including contact details, identity, financial information, and transaction data) for five years (plus the current year).
The law requires us to retain payroll records for 50 years, starting from January 1st following the reporting period they relate to.
In many cases, we will adhere to statutory limitation periods under applicable law, for example, for filing certain claims, which is in our legitimate interest.
We consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means when determining an appropriate retention period.
In all cases, we take steps to limit access to personal data at relevant stages, based on the current processing of the data and its intended purposes.
In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be linked to you, in which case we may use this information without further notice to you.
When our relationship with you ends, we will retain and securely dispose of your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

RIGHTS OF ACCESS, CORRECTION, DELETION, RESTRICTION, AND PORTABILITY
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and up to date. In many cases, this is essential for you and your rights. Please inform us if your personal information changes.
Under certain circumstances, by law, you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly referred to as a “data subject access request”). This allows you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and check whether we are processing it lawfully.
  • Request correction of your personal information that we hold. This allows you to correct and update any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you.
  • Request deletion of your personal information. This allows you to ask us to erase or remove personal information when there

     

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

  • In the few cases where you may have given your consent for the collection, processing, and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us in the manner described above regarding your other rights. Once we receive notice that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) for which you initially agreed, unless we apply another legal basis, which we will notify you about. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent before it was withdrawn.
