We may share your personal data with other data processors and data controllers in accordance with provisions specified below.

Sharing data with data processors

There are many features necessary to provide you with our services that we cannot complete ourselves, and we seek help from third parties. We may grant some service providers access to your personal data, in whole or in part, to provide the necessary services.

Therefore, we may share and disclose your personal data to other data processors:

Collectively, these specialists and partner websites are referred to as Contractors.

In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with the GDPR to protect your personal data.

When we transfer your personal data to third parties, we always comply with the requirements of the GDPR. Where possible, we always enter into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with these third parties to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected. If a Contractor has an appropriate data processing agreement in place, we may join that agreement. If so, the Company and the Contractor may regulate the transfer of the personal data to such Contractor by means of such data processing agreement.

Sharing of personal data with third parties employers

The Company may share user’s personal data with third-party employers, recruiters, or other entities who are not registered on the Site but operate outside the Site. These third parties may have job vacancies that are similar or relevant to the user’s interests. Such sharing of personal data occurs strictly for the purpose of facilitating employment opportunities for the user.

In cases where the user has provided explicit and informed consent, the Company reserves the right to apply to similar or relevant job vacancies on behalf of the user. The user's personal data will only be shared with third-party employers, recruiters, or other entities to whom the user has explicitly consented to the transfer. This consent is obtained as follows: after the user completes the apply form for a specific vacancy on the Site, he / she will be presented with an additional option to allow the Company to apply for other similar vacancies on his / her behalf. The user can manually select the specific companies with whom he / she is willing to share his / her personal data for the purpose of applying for a job. The user can do this by checking the boxes next to the companies that interest them. The user has full control over this selection process and can choose as many or as few companies as user likes. By selecting the relevant third parties, the user gives permission to the Company to submit his / her personal data to third-party employers, recruiters, or other entities with vacancies that match or are relevant to the user’s qualifications and interests.

The Company will only share the user's personal data with those third parties that have been explicitly selected by the user. If no companies are selected, the personal data will not be shared with any third-party employers, recruiters, or other entities beyond the initial application.

The scope of personal data that may be shared with selected third-party employers, recruiters, or other entities will correspond to the data provided by the user when applying to a vacancy on the Site. The Company ensures that only the relevant personal data necessary for the recruitment process will be shared with third parties, and it will reflect the information voluntarily submitted by the user during his / her application on the Site.

The third-party employers, recruiters, or other entities to whom the Company may share personal data are responsible for processing it solely for recruitment and employment purposes. These parties are required to comply with applicable data protection laws, and to implement appropriate security measures to protect the personal data they receive.

By providing consent for the sharing of their personal data, users acknowledge and agree that such third parties’ use of this personal data will be governed by the terms and privacy policies of the respective third party.

In such cases, we will transfer your personal data to third countries under Article 46 of GDPR with the appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).

We follow internal procedures when disclosing your personal data to countries outside the EU and EEA to ensure adequate safeguards for protecting your privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms.

We take additional technical and organizational measures when transferring data outside the EU and the EEA, such as assessing the reliability and personal data protection practices of the service provider, encrypting the transferred personal data, promptly responding to any threats to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data, and conducting Transfer Impact Assessments (TIA) when necessary, etc.
