11. GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) / UK DATA PROTECTION ACT
Data controller: Viktor Tadijanovic
PeopleOps@atlastechnica.com
Data protection officer: Ricardo Estevez
PeopleOps@atlastechnica.com
As part of any recruitment process, Atlas Technica collects and processes personal data relating to job applicants. Atlas Technica is committed to being transparent about how it collects and uses that data and to meeting its data protection obligations.
What information does Atlas Technica collect?
Atlas Technica collects a range of information about you.
This includes:
· your name, address, and contact details, including email address and telephone number;
· details of your qualifications, skills, experience, and employment history;
· information about your current level of remuneration, including benefit entitlements;
whether or not you have a disability for which Atlas Technica needs to make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process;
· information about your entitlement to work in the UK; and
· equal opportunities monitoring information, including information about your ethnic origin, sexual orientation, health, and religion or belief.
Atlas Technica collects this information in a variety of ways. For example, data might be contained in application forms, CVs, or resumes, obtained from your passport or other identity documents, or collected through interviews or other forms of assessment, including online tests, behavioral assessments, screening interviews, and hypothetical interviews scenarios.
Atlas Technica will also collect personal data about you from third parties, such as references supplied by former employers, information from employment background check providers, and information from criminal records checks, recruiters, and recruitment agencies. Atlas Technica will seek information from third parties only once a job offer to you has been made and will inform you that it is doing so.
Data will be stored in a range of different places, including on your application record, in HR management systems, and on other IT systems, including email.
Why does Atlas Technica process personal data?
Atlas Technica needs to process data to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you. It also needs to process your data to enter into a contract with you.
In some cases, Atlas Technica needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. For example, it is required to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts.
Atlas Technica has a legitimate interest in processing personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applicants allows Atlas Technica to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate's suitability for employment and decide to whom to offer a job. Atlas Technica may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.
Where Atlas Technica relies on legitimate interests as a reason for processing data, it has considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of employees or workers and has concluded that they are not.
Atlas Technica processes health information if it needs to make reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process for candidates who have a disability. This is to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.
Where Atlas Technica processes other special categories of data, such as information about ethnic origin, sexual orientation, health, religion or belief, age, gender or marital status, this is done for the purposes of equal opportunities monitoring with the explicit consent of job applicants, which can be withdrawn at any time.
For some roles, Atlas Technica is obliged to seek information about criminal convictions and offenses. Where Atlas Technica seeks this information, it does so because it is necessary for it to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.
Atlas Technica will not use your data for any purpose other than the recruitment exercise for which you have applied.
Who has access to data?
Your information will be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment exercise. This includes members of the HR and recruitment team, operations team, interviewers involved in the recruitment process, managers in the business area with a vacancy, and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles.
All information processed by us or our service providers may be transferred, processed, or stored anywhere in the world, including in countries that may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live. Your information may be accessible to the courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities of the United States. We endeavor to safeguard your information consistent with the requirements of applicable laws.
Atlas Technica will not share your data with third parties unless your application for employment is successful and it makes you an offer of employment. Atlas Technica may then share your data with former employers to obtain references and employment background check providers to obtain necessary background checks, and the Disclosure and Barring Service to obtain necessary criminal records checks.
How does Atlas Technica protect data?
Atlas Technica takes the security of your data seriously. It has internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees in the proper performance of their duties. We protect access to our systems using SSO to our Identity system. It requires security measures, including MFA. Employees’ logins are immediately disabled upon termination.
For how long does Atlas Technica keep data?
If your application for employment is unsuccessful, Atlas Technica will hold your data on file for twelve months after the end of the relevant recruitment process. If you agree to allow Atlas Technica to keep your personal data on file, Atlas Technica will hold your data on file for a further twelve months for consideration for future employment opportunities. At the end of that period or once you withdraw your consent, your data is deleted or destroyed.
If your application for employment is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be transferred to your personnel file and retained during your employment. The periods for which your data will be held will be provided to you in a new privacy notice.
Your Rights
As a data subject, you have a number of rights. You can:
· access and obtain a copy of your data on request;
· require Atlas Technica to change incorrect or incomplete data;
· require Atlas Technica to delete or stop processing your data, for example, where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of the processing;
· object to the processing of your data where Atlas Technica is relying on its legitimate interests as the legal ground for processing; and
· ask Atlas Technica to stop processing data for a period if data is inaccurate or there is a dispute about whether or not your interests · · · override Atlas Technica's legitimate grounds for processing data.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please get in touch with Dzmitry Razalyeu at PeopleOps@atlastechnica.com
If you believe that Atlas Technica has not complied with your data protection rights, you can complain to the Information Commissioner.
What if you do not provide personal data?
You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide data to Atlas Technica during the recruitment process. However, if you do not provide the information, Atlas Technica may not be able to process your application properly or at all.
You are under no obligation to provide information for equal opportunities monitoring purposes, and there are no consequences for your application if you choose not to provide such information.
Automated decision-making
Recruitment processes are not based solely on automated decision-making.
