According to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • Company address and billing information

  • Tax-relevant and contractual data

  • Public or confidential information about the company and the role

  • Project-related contextual details

When you are approached about a vacancy and agree to participate in the process, we will collect personal data from you only after your explicit consent. This includes:

  • Full contact details (address, email, phone)

  • CV, education and work history, certificates, language skills

  • Profile photo, date of birth, marital status, nationality

  • Professional achievements and qualifications

  • Personal interests and motivations, salary expectations

How We Handle Your Data

We treat all personal data with care and in accordance with applicable laws. Internally, we apply confidentiality policies, maintain a processing record, implement technical and organizational security measures, and enter into processing agreements with external providers when applicable.

​

Clients

To fulfill client assignments, we collect and process personal data on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Some data (e.g., billing details) serve the contractual relationship. Others (e.g., job descriptions and candidate criteria) may be shared with candidates after consultation with you. We may also process client data to assert legal claims or defend against them. Data will be deleted once legal retention periods expire.

​

Candidates

With your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), we collect candidate data during direct search and only proceed further if you opt in. Data is stored in secure recruitment software. Only after agreement will data be shared with clients, and only with authorized contacts. Candidate reports may include evaluations of qualifications and suitability. Interviews, reference checks, and further processing are always agreed upon in advance. Data will be deleted 6 months after the position is filled unless longer retention is legally required or separately consented to (e.g., candidate pool).

​

Service Providers

We collect and process service provider data for communication and contract purposes (Art. 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR). This includes contact and billing details, stored in our system with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
