2 Processing activities
2.1 Recruitment
When you apply for or is otherwise a candidate for a position at PNO, we process personal information about you for the purpose of selecting the candidate that we consider to be the best match for the position in question.
Our processing of personal information about you for these purposes includes:
- Your name and contact information, including home address, private email address and home telephone number
- Information on current and prior occupation
- Information on educational background, including exam results
- Information on other relevant competencies, such as languages spoken (or for IT persons IT programming languages mastered)
- DISC profile (personality test)
- References
- Information retrieved from your social media profiles
- Any other information you provide to us in your application or CV or otherwise during the recruitment process
The legal basis for the processing is
- GDPR article 6(1)(b), as the processing is necessary for taking steps in preparation of possibly entering into a contract with you
- GDPR article 6(1)(f), as the processing is necessary in order for us to pursue our legitimate interest in identifying the candidate we consider to be the best match for the position in question.
The information is deleted shortly – and no later than 6 months – after conclusion of the recruitment process. However, for candidates not hired, we may be interested in keeping the information for an extended period – typically to be able to get in touch if we at a later time have an open position, where we believe, you would be a good match. In these situations, we will request your consent to retain your information for longer and will store the information in accordance with the consent, you provide.
3 Retention and deletion of information
The retention periods described in sections 2.1 above are the default retention periods. However, information may be retained for longer if necessary to comply with legal obligations or if necessary for PNO to establish, defend or exercise legal claims.
4 Recipients of personal data
We may disclose your personal information to external advisors (for example recruiters and legal advisors) supporting our business, and to law enforcement authorities or other public authorities if we are required to do so through a court order or similar measures, or if such disclosure is necessary in order for us to establish, defend or exercise legal claims.
Finally, we may also make personal information available for companies supporting our business in the role of data processors – for example providers of the systems we use for mapping of personality profiles at the later stages of the recruitment process.
5 Transfer of personal data to countries outside EU/EEA
We do not transfer personal data to countries outside EU/EEA as part of the recruitment process. Should the need to do so occur in special situations, we will ensure to take the necessary steps to ensure that such transfers will take place in accordance with the requirements set out in GDPR chapter V.

If you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us using the contact information in section 1 above. Your request will be processed in accordance with the legislation in force at the given time.
