How, where, and for how long are your data retained?

How

Data processing is carried out through paper-based or digital procedures by authorized individuals within the organization. These individuals are granted access to your personal data only to the extent necessary to perform the processing activities related to you.
The Data Controller periodically reviews the tools used for processing your data and the security measures in place, ensuring constant updates. The Data Controller, including through authorized processing parties, verifies that no unnecessary personal data is collected, processed, archived, or retained and that any data whose purposes have been fulfilled is no longer retained. The Data Controller also ensures that the data is kept with guarantees of integrity, authenticity, and use for the purposes of the processing activities carried out, taking into account the particular nature of these activities. These checks allow the Data Controller to assess the strict relevance, non-excessiveness, and necessity of data belonging to specific categories with respect to the selection procedure and the relationship to be established, including data provided voluntarily by you.
The Data Controller ensures that any data found to be excessive or irrelevant, even after such checks, will not be used, except for possible legal retention of the document or record containing them.

 

Where

Data is stored in paper, digital, and electronic archives located within the European Economic Area, with specific security measures in place.

 

How long

Your personal data is retained for as long as necessary to carry out the activities related to you.
In particular:

Data Type

Retention Period

Identifying data, curriculum data, data revealing health status (even if voluntarily provided)

Duration of the selection procedure and in any case not beyond 2 years from collection
Exceptions include:

  • Limitation of processing and other safeguards for data belonging to specific categories
  • Deletion of personal data collected through spontaneously sent resumes or in the absence of an open position
  • The Data Controller's interest in retaining data, including data provided voluntarily by you, for the time necessary to evaluate the application, including for future employment/collaboration opportunities
  • Establishment of an employment/collaboration relationship

Unless there is any legal dispute, which extends the aforementioned terms for the time necessary to pursue the relevant purpose

Electronic data (system and network access logs and/or IP addresses)

The duration of retention depends on the presumed and/or detected risk and the harmful consequences resulting from it, subject to measures to anonymize the data or limit its processing.
In any case, the data must be retained (starting from the knowledge/detection of the risk event or data breach) for the time necessary to notify the supervisory authority of the detected data breach using the procedures implemented by the Data Controller, and in any case to remedy the situation.

 

Once all the purposes that justify the retention of your personal data have been fulfilled, the Data Controller will ensure that the data is either deleted or anonymized.

 

What are your rights?

The rights granted to you allow you to always maintain control over your data. Your rights include:

  • Access
  • Rectification
  • Withdrawal of consent
  • Deletion
  • Restriction of processing
  • Objection to processing
  • Data portability 

In essence, you can, at any time and free of charge, without any particular burdens or formalities, exercise the following rights:

  • Obtain confirmation from the Data Controller regarding the processing of your personal data.
  • Access your personal data and learn about its origin (when the data was not obtained directly from you), the purposes and objectives of the processing, the entities to whom the data are communicated, the retention period of your data, or the criteria used to determine it.
  • Update or rectify your personal data to ensure it is always accurate and correct.
  • Withdraw consent at any time if consent is the basis for processing. However, the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
  • Delete your personal data from databases and/or archives, including backups, when it is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing or if the processing is deemed unlawful. This applies if the conditions prescribed by law are met, and in any case, if the processing is not justified by another equally legitimate reason.
  • Restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest its accuracy, for the time necessary for the Data Controller to verify its accuracy. You must be informed in a timely manner when the suspension period ends or when the reason for the limitation of processing ceases, and the limitation is therefore lifted.
  • Obtain your personal data, if the processing is based on a contract and carried out by automated means, in an electronic format, so that it can be transmitted to another data controller.

The Data Controller must proceed accordingly without delay and, in any case, within one month of receiving your request. This deadline can be extended by two months if necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests received. In such cases, the Data Controller will inform you within one month of receiving your request and provide you with the reasons for the extension.

For further information or to submit your request, please contact: [email protected].

 

How and when can you object to the processing of your personal data?

For reasons related to your specific situation, you can object at any time to the processing of your personal data if it is based on legitimate interest, by sending your request to: [email protected].

You have the right to have your personal data deleted if there is no overriding legitimate reason for the processing that justifies its continuation.

 

To whom can you file a complaint?

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial actions, you can file a complaint with the Data Protection Authority. If you reside or work in another Member State, or if the violation of data protection laws occurs in another EU country, the competent authority to receive and address the complaint will be the supervisory authority established in that country.
