Privacy policy for the Resaro employer branding and recruitment
Date of publication: 07-06-2024
We at Resaro manage our employer branding and recruitment process through our career site (the “Career Site”), and by using a related applicant tracking system.
In this privacy policy, we explain how we process your personal data if:
- You visit our Career Site (you being a “Visitor”)
- You connect with us via our Career Site, to create a profile with us and receive information about current or future vacancies with us (you being a “Connecting Candidate”)
- You apply for a position with us, via our Career Site or a third party service (you being an ”Applying Candidate”)
- We collect information about you from other parties, sites and services, since we believe your profile is of interest for our current or future vacancies (you being a “Sourced Candidate”)
- We receive information about you from our employees or partners, since they believe your profile is of interest for our current or future vacancies (you being a “Referred Candidate”)
- We receive information about you from a Candidate, who lists you as their reference (you being a “Reference”).
This privacy policy also describes what rights you have when we process your personal data, and how you can exercise these rights.
When we use the term “Candidate” in this privacy policy, we are referring to each of Connecting Candidates; Applying Candidates; Sourced Candidates; and Referred Candidates, unless it’s stated otherwise.
1. About processing of personal data
Personal data is all information that can be directly or indirectly linked to a living, physical person. Examples of personal data are: name, e-mail address, telephone number and IP address. Processing of personal data is any automated use of personal data - such as collecting, creating, analyzing, sharing, and deleting personal data.
There are laws and regulations on how companies may process personal data, so-called data protection laws. Different data protection laws apply to different types of use of personal data, and in different parts of the world. An example of a data protection law that is relevant for our use of your personal data, as described in this privacy policy, is the EU Data Protection Regulation (2016/679, “GDPR”).
Most obligations under the GDPR apply to the so-called data controller. A data controller is the entity that decides for which purposes personal data will be processed, and how the processing will be executed. The data controller can use a so-called data processor. A data processor is an entity that is only allowed to process personal data as instructed by the data controller, and may not use the personal data for its own purposes.
We are the data controller when we process your personal data as described in this Privacy policy.

Our group companies. We share your personal data with our group companies, when they provide us services and functionality to our employer branding- and recruitment process, such as access to particular systems and software.
Companies providing cookies on the Career Site. If you consent to it, cookies are set by other companies than us, who will use the data collected by these cookies in accordance with their own privacy policy. You can find information about which cookies this applies to in our Cookie Policy.
To authorities and other public actors - when we are ordered to do so. We will share your personal data with authorities and other public actors when we have a legal obligation to do so.

6. On what legal bases do we process your personal data?
To be able to process your personal data, we need to have a so-called legal basis. A legal basis is a reason for processing the personal data that is justified under the GDPR.
When we process your personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, the legal basis we rely on is normally that the processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in being able to recruit talent with the relevant competence for us. We have concluded that we have a legitimate interest in being able to perform the personal data processing for this purpose; that the processing is necessary to achieve that purpose; and that our interest outweighs your right not to have your data processed for this purpose.
You can contact us for more information about how this assessment was made. See Section 9 and 10 below for our contact information.
There may be specific circumstances when the processing is only performed if and when you provide your consent to the processing. This is for example the case if we propose to record an interview with you. Please see Section 9 below for more information about your right to withdraw your consent.
7. When do we transfer your personal data outside of the EU/EEA, and how do we protect it then?
We always strive to process your personal data within the EU/EEA area.
However, some of our service providers process your personal data outside of the EU/EEA. We also use suppliers whose parent company, or whose subcontractor’s parent company, is based outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, we have taken into account the risk that the personal data may be disclosed to countries outside the EU/EEA, for example because of an authority request.
In cases where another recipient of your personal data (as described in Section 5 above) is based outside the EU/EEA, this will also mean that your personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA.
When we, or one of our suppliers, transfer your personal data outside the EU/EEA, we will ensure that a safeguard recognized by the GDPR is used to enable the transfer. We use the following safeguards:
When your personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we also implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards, to protect the personal data in case of a disclosure. Exactly which protective measures we implement depends on what is technically feasible, and sufficiently effective, for the particular transfer.
If you want more information about the cases in which your personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA you can contact us using the contact details in Section 9 and 10 below.
8. For how long do we keep your personal data?
All individuals
If we process your personal data for the purpose of being able to protect and enforce our rights, we will keep your personal data until the relevant legal issue has been fully and finally resolved.
Visitors
We keep your personal data for one (1) year for security purposes. The retention periods for cookies are set out in our Cookie Policy. We keep your personal data to analyse the performance of the Career Site for as long as we keep personal data about you for other purposes.

For other types of Candidates, we keep your personal data to decide if you are a suitable candidate for the relevant vacancy(ies) with us.
If you don’t succeed in the initial recruitment process, we keep your personal data for as long as needed to consider, and potentially contact you, for relevant future job openings.
If you are hired, we will keep your personal data during your employment, for other purposes than those stated above, which you will be informed of.

9. What rights do you have, and how can you exercise them?
In this section, you will find information about the rights you have when we process your personal data. As described below, some of the rights only come into play when we process your personal data under a particular legal basis.
If you want to exercise any of the rights listed here, we suggest that you:
- Visit the Data & Privacy page on our Career Site, where we offer features to let you exercise your rights;
- Log in to your account with us, where you can use the settings in the account to exercise your rights; or
- Contact us directly at girts.dzelde@resaro.ai.
Right to be informed
You have the right to be informed about how we process your personal data. You also have the right to be informed if we plan to process your personal data for any purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.
We provide you with such information through this privacy policy, through updates on our Career Site (see also Section 11 below), and by answering any questions you may have for us.
Right to access your personal data.
You have the right to know if we process personal data about you, and to receive a copy of the data we process about you. In connection with receiving the copy of your data, you will also receive information about how we process your personal data.
Right to access and to request a transfer of your personal data to another recipient (“data portability”).
You can request a copy of the personal data relating to you that we process for the performance of a contract with you, or based on your consent, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. This will allow you to use this data somewhere else, for example to transfer it to another recipient. If technically feasible, you also have the right to request that we transfer your data directly to another recipient.
Right to have your personal data deleted (“right to be forgotten”).
In some cases, you have the right to have us delete personal data about you. This is for example the case if it’s no longer necessary for us to process the data for the purpose for which we collected it; if you withdraw your consent; if you have objected to the processing and there are no legitimate, overriding justifications for the processing. (For the separate right to object, see below.)
Right to object against our processing of your personal data.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data which is based on our legitimate interest, by referencing your personal circumstances.
Right to restrict processing.
If you believe that the personal data we process about you is inaccurate, that our processing is unlawful, or that we don’t need the information for a specific purpose, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of such personal data. If you object to our processing, as described just above, you can also request us to restrict processing of that personal data while we make our assessment of your request.
When our processing of your personal data is restricted, we will (with the exception of storage) only process the data with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons relating to an important public interest.
Right to rectification.
You have the right to request that we rectify inaccurate information, and that we complete information about you that you consider incomplete.
Right to withdraw your consent.
When we process your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. If you do so, we will stop processing your data for the purposes you’ve withdrawn your consent for. However, it doesn’t affect the lawfulness of processing that was based on your consent before it was withdrawn.
Right to raise a complaint.
If you have complaints about our processing of your personal data, you can raise a complaint with the data protection authority in Singapore. You can find their contact details here.
You can also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority, which you can find listed here if you are based in the EU. If you are based in the UK, you can lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, here.

11. Updates to this Privacy policy
We update this privacy policy when necessary - for example, because we start processing your personal data in a new way, because we want to make the information even clearer to you, or if it’s necessary to do so in order to comply with applicable data protection laws.
