After the termination of a recruitment process for a specific job opening for which your data was collected, we may process your data to contact you to inform you about other possible job openings for which you could possibly qualify and that may be of interest to you.

In the event that we would enter into a contractual relationship with you, the collected data will become part of data processed for the purpose of the management of that contractual relationship under the applicable legal rules and internal rules of our organization as they apply to the category of personnel to which you would belong.

If we would like to process your personal data for a different purpose than that for which they were initially collected, we will seek your free consent.
