As part of recruitment processes, the Controller expects the transfer of Personal Data (e.g. in a CV or resume) only to the extent stipulated by the provisions of labour law. Accordingly, no broader information should be provided. In the event that the applications sent will contain additional data beyond the scope indicated by the provisions of labour law, their processing will be based on the candidate’s consent (Article 6(1) point (a) of the GDPR), expressed through the unambiguous affirmative action of the candidate sending the application documents. In the event that the applications sent contain information that is not relevant for the purpose of the recruitment, it will not be used or taken into account in the recruitment process.
Personal data are processed:
where the preferred form of employment is a contract of employment – in order to comply with legal obligations relating to the employment process, including primarily the Labour Code – the legal basis for the processing is a legal obligation to which the Controller is subject (Article 6(1) point (c) of the GDPR read together with the provisions of labour law);

Where consent has been given for the purposes of future recruitment processes, the Personal Data are deleted after two years – unless consent has been previously withdrawn.
The provision of data within the scope specified in Article 22(1) of the Labour Code is required – in the case of the candidate’s preference for employment based on an employment contract – by the provisions of the law, including in particular the Labour Code, and in the case of the candidate’s preference for employment based on a civil law contract – by the Controller. The consequence of failing to provide this data is that the given candidate cannot be considered in the recruitment process. Provision of other data is voluntary.

SUBMITTING REQUESTS FOR THE EXERCISE OF RIGHTS
The request concerning the exercise of rights of data subjects can be submitted:
In writing to the Controller’s address;
By means of electronic communication to the e-mail address: [email protected]
The request should, as far as possible, indicate precisely what is being requested, i.e. in particular:

what processing does the request concern (e.g. use of a particular service, activity on a particular website, etc.);
which purposes of the processing does the request concern (e.g. purposes relating to the provision of services etc.).
In the event that the Controller is unable to identify the natural person on the basis of the request submitted, the Controller will request additional information from the requesting party. The provision of such data is not mandatory, but failure to do so will result in the refusal to fulfill the request.
The request may be submitted in person or through a proxy (e.g. a family member). For reasons of data security, the Controller encourages the use of a power of attorney in a form certified by a notary public or an authorized legal advisor or attorney, which will significantly accelerate the verification of the authenticity of the request.
