Data processing in the context of the job application process

In the context of your application with our company, you provide some of your personal data to us, which we will collect and process when handling your application.

Furthermore, it is also possible that we collect information about you through third parties such as a temporary work agency, a head-hunter or a selection or recruitment agency, or indirectly through social media platforms such as LinkedIn.

The data that we collect can in particular include:

• Your identification data (name, first name, address,…);
• Your personal details (date and place of birth, marital status, family composition, language, nationality, gender,…);
• Data concerning your professional career (studies, qualifications, professional experience,…);
• Your financial data (such as your salary with your current employer); and

The Personal Data will be retained during the screening process and until one year after the termination hereof, in order to allow the handling of potential claims.

If you do not want your Personal Data to be included in our recruitment reserve, you can at any time object, including after the end of the process, by informing the HR department by e-mail info@metagenics.eu.

We take all administrative, technical and organisational measures necessary in order to ensure an appropriate level of security to your Personal Data and protect such data against destruction, loss, modification or unauthorized communication or access, either purposefully or by accident.
