For these suppliers, we have a data processing agreement that regulates that they only use the information in accordance with our instructions.
We may also need to share the data with government authorities as required by law.
Where do we process your data?
We have systems and internal processes in place to ensure that all the information we process is protected from unauthorized access. Only those employees who need access to the personal data we store.
Our goal is to process your personal data within the EU/EEA, but even if any of our suppliers are established or store information in other countries, we only share your personal data on a strictly need-based basis.
Where do we collect your personal data from?
In addition to the personal data you provide to us, we may receive information that is publicly available from third parties such as LinkedIn to manage recruitment processes. In these situations, we will notify you and you will have to consent to us storing the information.
