This does not prejudice the lawfulness of the treatment based on the consent given before the revocation. We invite you to promptly communicate any changes in the data furnished. We may contact you by email requesting your consent to conserve your CV for an additional period of time, basing said communication on our legitimated interest of maintaining a contact with you.

Optional supply of personal data

The provision of personal data indicated as required is necessary. Therefore, any refusal to provide such data would make it impossible to manage the relationship with you and would then cause the impossibility of your possible inclusion in our staff.

The processing of personal data will be based on principles of correctness, lawfulness and transparency, protecting your privacy and your rights and will take place using suitable tools to guarantee their security.

Categories of recipients to whom personal data might be disclosed or communicated, scope of dissemination of personal data

These include implementing an intra-group data transfer agreement based on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (the "Intra-Group Data Transfer Umbrella Agreement") for transfers of Personal Data between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect Personal Data they process from the EEA in accordance with the GDPR.

We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.
