2.4 Certain additional information may be collected where this is necessary and permitted by applicable law.

3. Special categories of data

To the extent permitted by applicable laws the Company collects and processes a limited amount of personal data within the data listed in clause 2.1 falling into special categories, sometimes called "sensitive personal data". This term means information relating to:

4. How does the Company collect data?

4.1 The Company mainly collects and stores your personal data directly from you. You will provide this information either directly to your Human Resources contact, or you will enter it into our recruitment systems. This data can also be collected during your participation in HR processes, from emails and instant messages you send, or through verbal information that may be recorded electronically or manually.

4.2 We also obtain some information from third parties: for example, references from a previous employer, staffing agencies, professional employer organizations, medical reports from external professionals, information from tax authorities, or where we employ a third party to carry out a background check (where permitted by applicable law).

4.3 Some data may be obtained from publicly accessible sources.

4.4 If certain information is necessary due to a contract, legal, or business requirement, we will inform you at the time of collecting that information. We will also let you know about any consequences that may arise if you do not provide the requested information. Not providing some information may result in us being unable to carry out specific HR processes. In some cases, it may even lead to us being unable to continue your recruitment because we will not have the personal data we consider essential for effectively and efficiently managing our relationship with you.

5. What are the purposes for which data is processed and what is our legal basis for carrying out the processing?

5.1 We collect and process your personal data for various business reasons, including as required by law. In this Notice, we have outlined the purposes for which we might use your personal data. We may, where we think it is necessary, provide you with additional information in relevant HR policies to ensure that you understand how your personal data may be used.

5.2 The legal basis on which we process your personal data

(a) When the Company processes your personal data, we do so based on a legal justification or basis for that processing. The processing of special categories of data always requires an additional lawful condition. In most cases, processing your personal data will be justified on one of the following bases:

(i) The processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation that the Company must follow; or

(ii) Where there is no legal obligation, we will process your data when it is necessary to fulfill a contract in which you are a participant or to take steps you have requested before entering into such a contract.

(b) Where the above two grounds do not apply, we may process your personal data where the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by the Company, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data (for example to meet the security requirements of our customers). These legitimate interests contribute to the Company continuing to meet its immediate and long-term business objectives, maintain its reputation, and attract high-caliber employees.

(c) In rare cases, we may process data based on your consent. When we rely on your consent, we will make it clear at the time.
