We collect personal data directly provided by you via our website, specifically:

• Contact form submissions: Name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.

• Job applications: Name, email address, phone number, CV/resume, personal motivation, LinkedIn profile, and other information you voluntarily share in connection with your application.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data unless explicitly provided by you (e.g., health-related information).

2. Purposes and legal basis for processing

Your personal data is processed exclusively for:

• Responding to contact requests: to handle and respond to inquiries or messages sent through our contact form.

  • Legal basis: consent or legitimate interest (responding to your request).

• Recruitment purposes: to evaluate your job application, manage the recruitment process, communicate with you, and maintain a database of potential candidates (only with your explicit consent).

  • Legal basis: pre-contractual measures (application evaluation), legitimate interests (effective recruitment), and explicit consent for extended data retention.

3. Sharing personal data

We do not sell or commercially distribute your personal data. We share data strictly when necessary:

• To comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests from public authorities, or protect our legal rights.

• During business transactions (mergers, acquisitions, restructuring) under appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.

We ensure data transfers are protected with appropriate measures (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) if transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

4. Data retention

Your data will only be retained as long as necessary for the specified purposes:

• Contact inquiries: retained up to one (1) year following resolution.

• Job applications: retained up to six (6) months after the recruitment process concludes, unless explicit consent for a longer retention period (maximum two (2) years) is given.

After these periods, data is securely deleted.

5. Security of personal data

We implement robust security measures, including technical, organisational, and administrative safeguards (encryption, access restrictions, secure storage systems), to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

6. Transfer of personal data

Your personal data is primarily processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). In exceptional cases where data might be transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.
