Some terms to be clear about

First, we need to be clear about how we use some words in this statement.

It may seem obvious, but in this Statement, you will be referred to as ‘You’.

When we talk about ‘us’ or the ‘Company’ we mean Adecco spol. s r.o. We have our registered office at Štětkova 1638/18, Nusle, 140 00 Praha 4. The Company is part of the Adecco Group, the largest HR services provider in the world. Through its various companies and business lines the Adecco Group provides several HR (Human Resources) activities like staffing, secondment, payroll services, recruitment & selection, testing solutions, career transition, talent development, training & education, outplacement and international mobility (‘our Activities’).

To carry out our Activities the Company uses several IT systems. In some cases, the Company provides a Self-Service Portal (‘Portal’) for its candidates/personnel. The Portal allows you to search and apply for jobs the Company and its sister companies advertise which match your interests, skills and/or experience, in the locations where you have expressed an interest in working.

Finally, this is a statement about information and people. It includes facts about you, but also opinions about you and that you hold (“I’m a football fan” for example). It’s not about information about the Company (although sometimes the two overlap).  This type of information is sometimes called ‘Personal information’, ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ or ‘PII’. We use the term ‘Personal Information’ in this Statement.

What personal information does the Company collect and use?            

Personal information that the company usually collects includes, but is not limited to:

• Your name, date and place of birth, contact details and qualifications (education, training courses and internships), documents evidencing your identity and right to work and any other information you listed on your resume or CV;
• if you log on to the Portal using your LinkedIn or any other social media account: your profile data;
• You are also informed that, as part of the selection process, the hiring entity may consult details of your public LinkedIn profile;

if you contact us, we will keep a record of that correspondence.

Why do we use personal information about you?

The company collects and processes personal information:

1. To provide you with the services you expect us to, which is finding you suitable job. This service includes communicating with you, conducting a selection process etc. Some of your data are collected and processed to identify and assess your experience and professional skills;

To have possibility of transferring Personal Data within the group for internal administrative purposes.

What is the legal basis to use your personal data?

Any Personal Data processing must be legally supported by one of the permitted legal bases.

The legal grounds for processing as described above can be:

1. Performance of the contract concluded with employees

The processing of your Personal Data for the purpose described under item (a) above is necessary to carry out the measures taken prior to the conclusion of the contract at your request. This means that we must process your Personal Data in order to provide you with a service that results in entering into a contract with you and entering into an employment relationship.

2. The Company’s legitimate interest

The processing of Personal Data for the purpose described above under item b) is based on the Company’s legitimate interest.

Do you have to give us the personal information we ask for?

You are not obliged to provide your personal information to us, but it would not be possible for us to determine whether you are a suitable candidate, and we will not be able to enlist you in the selection process.

How long do we keep your personal information for?

We will keep your Personal Data for the duration of the selection process. This means that we will process your Personal Data for the above purpose until you enter into an employment relationship with us, or until we definitively reject you as an employee.

Do we transfer your data to third parties?

We might transfer and/or disclose your data to third parties. This is done in the following circumstances:

• Transfer to our suppliers (external service providers). We may involve our contractor in the execution of administrative and operational activities within the provision of our services. This supplier will have a contractual and legal obligation to maintain the confidentiality of your Personal Data and respect your privacy, and will only have access to the data he necessarily needs for its operation; such contractors are typically IT contractors (who provide us with IT systems where information about you is stored), or providers of accounting and financial services (who need to know the details of the candidates in order to correctly issue and make charge for invoices, for example). The relevant contractor may also be another company in the Adecco Group.
• Transfer to other entities of the Adecco Group. Your contact information can be shared throughout the Adecco Group for efficient administration within the Adecco Group.

Do we transfer your data outside the European Union?

• Outside the European Union, your data is only transferred to countries that are considered to be adequately protected under Article 45 of the GDPR by the European Commission, or if the conditions set out in Article 46 of the GDPR are met.
• For more information, see the specific Privacy policy section on the Company’s website.

What are your rights in terms of processing personal data?

• Right to access and obtain a copy of your personal information

You are entitled to request confirmation whether we process any of your personal information. Where this is the case, you have the right to access to some of your personal information (e.g. via the Portal) and to certain information about how it is processed. In some cases, you can ask us to provide you with an electronic copy of your information.

• Right to data portability

If we process your Personal Data automatically, you have the right to obtain the Personal Data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, if technically feasible, you have the right to request that these Personal Data are transferred to another entity.

• Right to correct your personal information

If you can demonstrate that personal information, we hold about you is not correct, you can request that this information is updated or otherwise corrected.  We would encourage you to access the self-service Portal where possible and update your personal information directly.

• Right to delete (right to be forgotten)

In certain circumstances (as defined at relevant regulations), you have the right to request that your personal data is deleted.  You can make such a request at any time and Adecco will evaluate if your request should be granted. For situations where in accordance with the law, we determine that your request to have your personal information deleted must be granted, Adecco will do so without undue delay. Please note, however, that if your Personal Data is erased, you will no longer be able to participate in the ongoing selection process.

• Right to restrict

In certain circumstances (as defined at relevant regulations), you have the right to restrict the processing of your Personal Data. Please note, however, that this restriction of the processing of your Personal Data may limit your ability to participate in the ongoing selection process.

• Right to object

As far as the company’s processing of your data is based on the company’s legitimate interest, you are entitled to object to the Company processing your data. The Company will only be entitled to further process your Personal Data if it proves serious legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or will only process your Personal Data for the purpose of determining, executing or defending legal claims.
