‍

9. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA AS A PROCESSOR

Our company also processes personal data as a processor (according to Article 28 of the GDPR) within the scope of its business activities, based on a contractual relationship between the customer as a personal data controller and our company.
‍

When processing personal data, we strictly follow the customer's instructions and the concluded processing contract, which determines in particular the subject-matter and duration of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data and the method of their protection.

The subject of our processing is the personal data of an applicant for employment or a contractual relationship with the customer or an existing employee and associate of the customer ("candidate").

The purpose of processing the candidate's personal data is to verify their truthfulness and credibility by performing selected checks in public and commercial registers, databases and records or according to information from information sources of state and non-state institutions.
‍

The scope and categories of the candidate's personal data processed are directly dependent on the type of control selected by the customer. The categories of personal data of the candidate that we are authorised to process are in particular identification and contact data, birth number, identity card number, photographs, data on documents, data on education and professional qualifications, data on previous employment, data on creditworthiness and debtfree status, data on criminal record and data from publicly available sources.

When processing candidates' personal data, we cooperate with recipients of personal data such as public and commercial registry administrators, database administrators and information sources, schools, educational institutions and previous employers who have been named by the candidate in personal questionnaires or our contractors who have been approved by the customer for the processing.
‍

We process candidates' personal data both manually and automatically using our own software and that of our suppliers. Our company does not carry out any automated decision-making, including profiling.

If necessary to carry out the specified check, we only transfer the candidate's personal data to a safe third country where an adequate level of protection is ensured according to the European Commission Decision. In other cases, we only transfer data on the basis of an explicit instruction from the customer, if the candidate has given his/her consent to the transfer to a third country, unless standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission can be used for the transfer.
‍

To ensure the security of personal data, we have implemented a set of recognized technical and organizational measures in accordance with the international standard ISO 27001, which include the protection of data against security breaches that could lead to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to the data (personal data breach).

We keep the candidates' personal data for the duration of our service and after the final report is submitted to the customer, we anonymize the candidate's personal data in our records according to the customer's deadline.

In this context, the candidate may exercise his/her rights about the processing of personal data with the DPO of our company, email: dpo@scaut.com, or with his/her future/existing employer, similarly according to Article 6 of this Policy.
