(Last update on December 12, 2023)

This Outfit7 Candidate Privacy Policy explains what personal information Outfit7 group companies ("we" or "us" or "Outfit7") collect during the application and recruitment process, and how that information is processed and protected.

Please read this Outfit7 Candidate Privacy Policy carefully. It provides you with certain information that must be provided under the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (GDPR) and laws implementing or supplementing the GDPR; and to the extent applicable, the data protection or privacy laws of any other country (collectively: Data Protection Law).

DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

We are compliant with Data Protection Law, which means that your data will be:

  • Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.
  • Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
  • Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
  • Accurate and kept up to date.
  • Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.
  • Kept securely.

THE KIND OF PERSONAL DATA WE HOLD ABOUT YOU

In connection with our application and recruitment process, we may process the following information about you:

  • The information you have provided on your application, including name, title, address, phone number, email address and link to LinkedIn profile;
  • The information you have provided in your curriculum vitae, covering or motivation letter and your portfolio or any other supporting documents, including any related access credentials, you may share with us in your application (if any);
  • Information on how you heard about the job position;
  • The information about your educational and professional background that is available from a publicly accessible source, and we believe is relevant in the recruitment process (such as your profile on LinkedIn);
  • The information about your entitlement to work in the country where the local subsidiary is located;
  • The information as to whether you have a disability for which we need to make adjustments during the recruitment process (in case you entrust us with such information);
  • The information you provide during your interview;
  • The results of your expertise tests and responses to any assessment questionnaires that you may undertake as part of your recruitment process with us;
  • The information from your ID or passport document (if needed to organize a live interview or for other such reasons during the recruitment process);
  • The information from your labor medical examination (provided you are considered as a finalist for the position and subject to complying with the applicable laws);
  • Other information you may provide during the application and recruitment process;
  • The information we may request for preparation of the contractual relationship with you and to get you started with your work at Outfit7 (in case you are selected for a job position with us).

HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED?

We process information that is provided to us by you or acquired or produced by Outfit7 during the application and recruitment process (such as information provided to us by our recruitment partners and information accessible on publicly available sources).

HOW WILL WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We process your personal data to decide whether to enter into a contract of employment with you. We process your personal data to comply with legal obligations, based on your consent (for example, if you consent to stay in our talent pool) and on the basis of legitimate interests. Our legitimate interest is to process your application effectively and to continuously improve our recruitment process. We are relying on Articles 6(1)(a), 6(1)(b), 6(1)(c) and 6(1)(f) GDPR as legal grounds for processing of your personal data.

In particular, we process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Assessing your skills, qualifications, and suitability for the job position with us or for assessing those against other career opportunities at Outfit7, where appropriate (e.g. in case you have submitted your application as a general inquiry for job opportunities or consented to stay in our talent pool);
  • Communicating with you about the application and recruitment process;
  • Keeping records related to the application and recruitment process;
  • Effectively proceeding with the application and recruitment process and/or preparing the contractual relationship with you, for example to assist you with obtaining an immigration visa or permit, where applicable;
  • Complying with the applicable laws and regulations, legal or regulatory requirements or for purposes connected to legal claims or proceedings.

Having received your application form, and/or your CV (and covering letter, your portfolio and other supporting documents, if any) and further the results from your expertise test, which you may be asked to complete, we process that information to decide whether you meet the requirements to be shortlisted for the role. If we decide to further consider you for the position, we may invite you to an interview and further to complete certain assessment questionnaires that will help us assess your suitability for the position. If we consider you to be a finalist for the position, then prior to making you an offer you may also be invited to undertake a medical examination with the appointed labor medicine doctor if such a medical examination is required by local labor legislation.

If you fail to provide information when requested that is necessary for us to consider you for a job position, then we may not be able to process your application properly or at all.

Automated decision-making processes – including profiling – do not take place.

DATA SHARING

We may share your personal data with our related companies and subsidiaries within Outfit7 group (even if this is not the company in which the position you applied for is based), where and to the extent their input is needed within the application and recruitment process (such as to help operate the assessment process, supervise the recruitment, conduct an audit). Also, we may share your personal data with our third-party service providers (such as cloud service providers, system maintenance service providers and online tools providers and other providers that help us effectively perform the application and recruitment process and maintain records on the same). We may also share your personal data with other third parties, such as delivery service providers and/or other service providers we may engage in connection to coordinate your travel, or to assist you with the immigration or other matters related to the application and recruitment process.

All our third-party service providers and related companies and subsidiaries within Outfit7 group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data. We do not allow our third-party service providers, that are acting as data processors, to use your personal data for their own purposes (we only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions).

We may also share your personal data with any supervisory or any similar regulatory authority that is responsible for the enforcement of the Data Protection Law or another law enforcement authority upon their request.

DATA TRANSFER

We may transfer your personal data received on the basis of this Outfit7 Candidate Privacy Policy outside the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) where the EU Commission has confirmed an adequate level of protection or where we can ensure the careful handling of personal data by means of suitable guarantees (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses).Information about this is available from us upon request.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Details of these measures may be obtained if you write to [email protected].

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

We generally retain your personal data for a period of 6 months after your application or recruitment process with us has been completed (or in certain cases for a longer period, as defined further below). We retain your personal data for that period so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have conducted the recruitment exercise in a fair and transparent way. We may retain your personal data for a longer period if you have submitted your application as a general inquiry and/or consented to stay in our talent pool and/or if we are required to protect our position in the event of a legal claim or proceeding and/or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements and/or backup and disaster recovery mechanisms. After the applicable period, we will securely anonymise or delete your personal data in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

If your application is successful, your personal data collected during the application and recruitment process will be transferred to and retained in our files where we keep employee information.

TALENT POOL

We are interested in staying in contact with you after the application and recruitment process is completed, on the basis that a further opportunity may arise in the future and we may wish to consider you for that. Therefore, in the application and recruitment process, we will ask you if you wish to stay in contact with us. Kindly note we can only stay in contact with you after the application and recruitment process is completed if you provide your consent. It is completely up to you to decide whether you wish to give us your consent for this. You may also choose to submit an application as a general inquiry.

If you choose to stay in contact with us we retain your personal data for a period of 5 years after the application and recruitment process has been completed. In case you submit your application as a general inquiry, we retain your personal data for a period of 5 years after the submission. After this period (or once you withdraw your consent), your personal data will be securely anonymised or deleted in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

DATA SUBJECT'S RIGHTS

As a data subject under Data Protection Law you have a number of rights, including the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data when there is no lawful reason for us continuing to process it.

  • Object to processing of your personal data when we are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for processing.
