Privacy Policy

Welcome to “AGENCY WITHOUT BORDERS JOB ZONE” Ltd! We look forward to working with you to help you to further develop your career. As a Company, to properly perform our services, we collect and use information about you.

Agency without borders is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Candidate Privacy Information Statement describes your privacy rights in relation to the information about you that we process, as well as the steps we take to protect your privacy. We know it’s long, but please read this Statement carefully

1. Definitions

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 ‘the Candidate’ or ‘You’.

When we talk about ‘us’ or the ‘Company’ we mean “AGENCY WITHOUT BORDERS JOB ZONE” Ltd. We have our registered office at Lovetch, Akademik Ishirkov str 10 floor 3.

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 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, feedback and opinions about you. It’s not about information about the Company (although sometimes the two overlap).  This type of information is called ‘Personal information’, ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ or ‘PII’.  We use the term ‘Personal Information’ in this statement.

2. 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;
  • if you contact us, we will keep a record of that correspondence;
  • feedback about you from our staff and third parties; where you give feedback on others;
  • your feedback about us and our services through our satisfaction surveys;
  • we also collect information of your visits in our website/Portal including (but not limited to) your IP address, browser, timestamp, location, country traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data and the resources that you access. This information will make your visit to our website/Portal easier in the future. We will, for example, suggest jobs to you which are being handled by branches local to where you were when you contacted us;
  • we also collect information for marketing purposes and analysis, including information on how your respond to email, SMS, phone and other marketing campaigns. We will have asked you for your explicit consent before sending marketing communication via these means;
  • photos and videos of your attendance at a video interview or training or similar sessions (you will be given a chance at the session to ask not to be videoed or photographed);
  • details of any disabilities and any accommodations we may need to make for you in the workplace; and
  • in some cases, we will also collect other sensitive data than only details related to disability, when we are required to do so by law (so in some countries we will ask you about your background for equal opportunities monitoring).

We would like also to inform you that Agency WB will perform whatever assessment are necessary as part of the selection process, which may require the data submitted to be processed, and that it will include the results of the assessment in its recruitment database as part of the selection process;

You are also informed that, as part of the selection process, the hiring entity may consult details of your public profile on social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), and other public information and records, with the sole purpose of assessing and ascertaining your experience and professional skills, and to know whether your profile is consistent with the Agency Without Border’s culture and values.

3. Why do we use personal information about you?

The company collects and processes personal information:

  1. with your explicit consent we may also use your contact data for direct marketing for example via e-mail, messaging or telephone;
  2. to further develop, test and improve our website/Portal, or other existing or new systems/processes to better serve you; this takes place in the context of new IT systems and processes, so that information about you will be used in the testing of those new IT systems and processes where dummy data cannot fully replicate the operation of that new IT system;
  3. to perform studies and statistical and analytical research, for example to compare the effectiveness of our placement of candidates between different business sectors and locations and seek to identify factors that can influence any differences we identify;
  4. to transfer data to third parties (see below);
  5. where necessary, to comply with any legal obligation; and
    1. in the case of photos or videos of training sessions, to report internally that the training sessions have taken place and their content (for example in internal updates) and to market similar sessions internally and externally to third parties In this case we will ask you for an explicit consent;

We are required by law to have a ground set out in the law to process the information we hold about you. The legal grounds can be

  1. Performing a contract or taking steps prior to entering a contract

When you are already working with or about to engage through Adecco, our processing of personal information for all these purposes is based on processing grounds like the performance of a contract, or to enter into a contract. These services can be such as providing you with suitable jobs to apply for or helping and assisting you with training and the application process.

 

  1. Compliance with legal obligations

Sometimes the processing is necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations. Public authorities, such as tax, finance or data protection authorities may request personal data from us and provide us with a statutory reason to disclose information about you (e.g. the prevention or detection of a crime). In these circumstances, we are forced by law to provide the authorities with your data.

 

  1. Fulfilment of our legitimate interest

The processing is necessary in the legitimate interests of Adecco in exercising its and its staff fundamental rights to run a business in a way which does not unduly affect your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. This means that when processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of Adecco, we balance your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms against our legitimate interest in processing. This ensures that we are not processing data in a manner that your interest and fundamental rights override our interest in such processing

We shall only process your personal information other than on these grounds with your consent, which is a further processing ground.

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 work with you, or provide our services to you, if you do not provide us with a required minimum. It may also limit the Services that you can receive from us if you in some instances choose to provide us with limited personal information.

How long do you keep my personal information for?

The Company can keep your personal information for up to 6 months after the final completion of the recruitment procedure.  In case you give us your explicit consent to process your personal information for future recruitment processes, we can keep your data for longer periods, but for not more than 3 years as of completion of the recruitment procedure. .

If you are successful in finding work through us, the Company will need to keep your personal information for a longer period in order to comply with its on-going legal and contractual

Do we transfer your data to third parties?

As mentioned above, we usually disclose your data to third parties. This is done to complete the purposes set out above. We do this in the following circumstances:

  • To our suppliers. We will, for example, engage a supplier to carry out administrative and operational work in support of our relationship with you. The supplier(s) will be subject to contractual and other legal obligations to preserve the confidentiality of your data and to respect your privacy, and will only have access to the data they need to perform their functions; the relevant suppliers are typically IT suppliers (who host or support our IT systems, including information about you), premises management companies (who look after physical security at our buildings, and therefore need to know about you to allow access to our buildings) and back office finance and accounting management providers (who need to handle details of candidates in order to process accounts payable and receivable). We may also engage suppliers who provide IT technology services and solutions, which might include video interview and skills assessment tools.
  • To our clients/prospective employers: we will share your data with clients of ours who are offering jobs/assignments you may be interested in, or who are interested in your profile. They owe contractual and other confidentiality obligations in relation to your data to us, and to you;
  • We will share your data with government, police, regulators or law enforcement agencies if, at our sole discretion, we consider that we are legally obliged or authorised to do so or it would be prudent to do so; and
  • As part of due diligence relating to (or implementation of) a merger, acquisition or other business transition we may need to disclose your data to the prospective seller or buyer and their advisers.
