If you are applicants and are looking for more information, you are in the right place. The purpose for the collection, processing and use of your data is to manage your application, to check you meet the requirements and to contact you.

The legal basis for processing (art. 6 of the GDPR) is the implementation of the (pre-)contractual measures adopted on request of the data subject or the consent to processing specified in the agreement. In general, ECSA Group complies with the requirements for the reduction and minimisation of data relative to the processing purposes, to protect the data subjects’ interests that are worthy of protection.

The description of groups of data subjects and their data or data categories included in the job descriptions are needed for the collection and processing of data for the selection procedure.

The recipients or categories of recipients that may deal with your data are mainly the staff of the ECSA Group’s HR department. These employees are authorised to carry out these specific tasks in the company. External contractors and subcontractors pursuant to art. 28 of the GDPR. Access to personal data is not usually included in the purpose of the order but it may not be excluded.

ECSA Group data are transmitted to third countries solely for the purpose of fulfilling the work contract.

Data retention term or standard terms for the erasure of data: the law has set out a series of obligations and terms regarding data retention. When the retention period has ended, the data are routinely erased if no longer required to fulfil contractual obligations. In compliance with the law, the commercial or financial data relative to one fiscal year that has ended are erased after ten years, unless a longer retention period is planned or required for legitimate reasons. Shorter retention times are applied in particular fields (e.g. in the management of human resources for rejected applications and letters of warning). If the data are not affected by the above, they are erased when the purposes they were retained for no longer apply.

Information on the right to object (Art. 21 of the GDPR). You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data according to Art. 6 point 1f of the GDPR or Art. 6 point 1e. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions, pursuant to Art. 4, point 4 of the GDPR. In case of objection, we will no longer process your data unless we can provide legitimate reasons for the processing that prevail over your interests, rights and freedoms or for investigating, exercising or defending legal claims. We may also use your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You have the right to object at any time if you do not wish to receive marketing material. This also applies to profiling to the extent it is connected to direct marketing. Your objection is effective prospectively. We will no longer process your data for direct marketing purposes if you object to processing for that purpose. The objection may be sent informally by writing to career@ecsa.ch
