Information from social media
When recruiting for positions with a focus on customer and collaborative relationships, it may be relevant that we conduct a search on social media such as LinkedIn and Facebook.

We use the ‘interest balancing rule’ of the data protection regulation. 6 (1) (f) as a legal basis for obtaining information on candidates from social media. We do this in order to assess whether you have a profile that fits in with the company and in the specific position.

Information from former employer
For some postitions is necessary to obtain references from previous employers. If we obtain references from one or more of your former employers, we will record the information we receive.

We use your consent under Article 6 (1) (a) of the Data Protection Regulation as a legal basis for processing this information and you will therefore be asked to give your consent before contacting one or more of your former employers. You can withdraw your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting us at the contact details above. If you withdraw your consent, it will not be effective until that time. Therefore it does not affect the legality of our processing of the information until the time you withdraw your consent.

If you receive a rejection, we will delete the information we have registered about you within 6 months.
If you are employed, we will store the information that has been part of the recruitment process in your staff folder.

Keep application for later recruitment
In some situations we would like to save your application even if you have been refused, for later recruitment. If we want to save your application, we will ask for your consent to this.

Other recipients who can process your information
