3. Why we process your personal data and the legal basis for such processing
The overall purpose of the collecting and processing of personal data is to manage recruiting. The lawfulness of the processing of personal data is our legitimate interest to simplify and facilitate recruitment.
When you submit an application for a position in Quickbit Group, our legal basis for collecting, storing and processing your information is GDPR article 6 (1)(b) – steps necessary to enter into a contract. For specific positions you might be asked to participate in a case test. The legal basis for any test is GDPR article 6 (1)(a) – consent.
If you sign an employment contract at the end of the recruitment process, we will start the pre-boarding process between the date of signing the employment contract and your first day with us (e.g. informing you about your office location, ways of working, choice of technical devices etc.). Our legal basis for collecting, storing, and processing your information for the pre-boarding process is also GDPR article 6 (1)(b) – necessary for the performance of a contract.
In the case where candidates who have been approached by Quickbit with an invitation to apply for a role (“referred candidates” or “sourced candidates”), our legal basis for collecting, storing and processing your information is GDPR article 6 (1)(f) – legitimate business interest. We have conducted a legitimate interest assessment and balanced out legitimate interest (finding suitable candidates) against the candidates interested and concluded that our interest outweighs the candidates’. We will only process information which you have made publicly available yourself.
Provided that we have obtained your consent, we may also retain your personal data in our candidate database for the purposes of future recruitments. The legal basis for such processing is then GDPR article 6 (1)(a) – consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.
Furthermore, we may process personal data about you where this is necessary to defend ourselves against legal claims arising from the application process that are brought against us. The legal basis for this Article 6 (1)(b and f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the Swedish Discrimination Act (2008:567) or similar legislative acts in other countries, when the data controller for your data is a Quickbit Group company based outside Sweden.
Personal data that is processed with the purpose of aggregated analysis or market research is always made unidentifiable. Such personal data cannot be used to identify a certain User. Thus, such data is not considered personal data.
4. Retention and deletion of your data
We do not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary for achieving the purpose(s) for which the personal data was first collected. Basically, this means that once the data is no longer needed in relation to a specific recruitment process, the data is deleted. Please note that certain data is retained even after a recruitment process is closed, such as data that we need to retain to protect our legal interests on the event of a discrimination claim. No data is however kept by us when it is no longer needed in relation to the legal basis with which it is processed.
If your application is successful resulting in an employment, the personal data we collected during the recruitment process will partly become part of your personal file and processed in according with the Employees Privacy Notice, which you will take part of before signing the employment contract with us. The personal data that have not become a part of your personal file will be deleted in accordance with our routines.
If you have agreed to let us retain your data in our candidate base for future potential recruitment, we will retain your data until you ask us to delete it or when we consider it not relevant in relation to our foreseeable recruitment plans.
5. Sharing of your personal data
We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:
Within Quickbit Group, to companies, relevant staff that is involved in the recruitment process and other staff that may have access to personal information where such access is required for their function, example the IT department, under common control and ownership as required for business administrations purposes.
Where necessary, to our recruitment firms and, where permitted by law, other professional advisors in order to perform pre-employment checks, and where necessary to obtain advice or otherwise protect and manage our business interests.
Some of our platforms and systems are provided by our subcontractors (“data processors”). As our subcontractors, they are only allowed to process your data according to our instructions and may not engage in unauthorized disclosure of your data.
When applicable, in connection with, or during negotiations concerning, any re-organization, merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company. In certain circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data we process such as for example where we are involved in legal proceedings, where we are complying with legal obligations, a court order, upon a legitimate request from a governmental authority, or to prevent and investigate fraud or other illegal activity to protect you and ourselves, including where necessary for the purposes of an investigation.
We may also compile statistics about the recruitment process. All such data will be anonymized and will not include any personal data, or any anonymized data that can be combined with other data and used to identify you. We may from time to time share such data with third parties such as recruitment firms.
6. Where we process your personal data
We always strive to process your personal data within the EU/European Economic Area (the “EEA”). However, in some situations such as when we share your data with for example an IT or hosting provider with operations outside the EU/EEA, your personal data may be processed outside the EU/EEA. In the event that a non-EEA country to which we transfer personal data has not obtained an adequacy decision from the European Commission, we have applied safeguards for any transfers of personal data to third countries, such as the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. Security
Data security is very important to us. We continuously undertake appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure adequate security of your personal data throughout the processing.
We keep your personal data safe using fault-tolerant secured storage with industry standard encryption and implemented a number of security measures to ensure that your information is not lost, abused, or altered.
However, transfers of information over the internet and mobile networks can never occur without any risk, so all transfers are made on the own risk of the person transferring the data. It is important that you also take responsibility to ensure that the data is protected. It is your responsibility that the login information is kept secret.
