3. What are the purposes and legal grounds for processing my personal data?
Personal Data may be used for the following purposes: Provision of Services (legal ground: performance of a contract and legitimate interest) Hashlist is an online platform with the purpose of letting Users apply to third party jobs via a single application on Hashlist. For this to be possible, we collect necessary Personal Data to offer Users a great experience on the Website and connect them with the right potential employment opportunities. Therefore, we process Users' Personal Data to provide them the Services in accordance with the Terms of Service governing the use of the Services. If you contact our customer service, we will use the information provided by you to answer your questions or solve your problems relating to our Services based on our legitimate interest.
For legal obligations (legal ground: compliance with a legal obligation) We can process Personal Data to enable us to administer and fulfil our obligations under the law. We may for example process Personal Data for providing information to relevant authorities.
For claims handling and legal processes (legal ground: legitimate interest) We may process Personal Data in relation to claims handling and legal processes. We may also process data for the prevention of fraud, misuse of our Services and for data, system, and data network security.
For customer communication and marketing (legal ground: legitimate interest) We may use your contact details to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you, upcoming events, or other promotions. If we do so, each marketing communication we send you will in most cases contain instructions permitting you to "opt out" of receiving future marketing communications. If this is not the case, you can always contact us directly to opt out. Note, however, that as a User of our Services you cannot opt out of some administrative communications that are reasonably necessary to provide the Services, such as service notifications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated in this document.
For quality improvement and trend analysis (legal ground: legitimate interest) When you interact with Hashlist, through our Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. Hashlist may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by Hashlist affiliates, agents or service providers. These services may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of users of our Services, the number of hours worked using our Services, the location of our Users, and how our Users use and interact with the Services. Also, in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the Users of the Services, Hashlist often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. Hashlist may share this non- identifiable and aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners, but this type of non-identifiable and aggregate information does not identify you personally. Hashlist may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our Services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes. Legal grounds for processing We process your Personal Data to comply with legal obligations and perform our contractual obligations towards you. Furthermore, we process your Personal Data to pursue our legitimate interest to run, maintain and develop our business and to create and maintain customer relationships. When choosing to use your data on the basis of our legitimate interests, we weigh our own interests against your right to privacy and e.g., provide you with possibility to easily opt-out from our marketing communications. We may also process your Personal Data for one or more specific purposes based on your consent. In this event, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
4. Who may receive my personal data?
Users agree that some of their Personal Data collected by us is subject to transfer to the potential employers for the purpose of recruitment. The potential employers process such Personal Data as individual data controllers in accordance with their own applicable privacy policies. Your Personal Data available on your Hashlist profile on the Website is visible to our company partners looking for and hiring candidates. All Users understand that we use external service providers (such as data storage, accounting, sales, and marketing service providers) who process Personal Data on our behalf. When Personal Data is processed by third parties on behalf of Hashlist, we have taken the appropriate contractual and organizational measures to ensure that Personal Data are processed exclusively for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and subject to our instructions and appropriate obligations of confidentiality and security measures. We may also share your Personal Data with third parties if we have a good faith belief that access to and use of the Personal Data is reasonably necessary to: (i) meet any applicable law, regulation and/or court order; (ii) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, crime, security or technical issues; and/or (iii) protect the interests, properties or safety of Hashlist, the Users of the Services or the public as far as in accordance with the law. When possible, we will inform you about such processing. If Hashlist is involved in a merger, acquisition, or other business transaction, we may transfer your Personal Data to the third party involved. However, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of all Personal Data. We will give notice to all the data subjects concerned when the Personal Data are transferred or become subject to a different privacy policy. We may share your Personal Data with third parties when we have your explicit consent to do so. You have the right to withdraw this consent at all times.
5. For how long do you store my data?
Hashlist does not store your Personal Data longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the purposes provided in this Privacy Policy. The storage period depends on the nature of the information and on the purposes of processing. The maximum period may therefore vary per use. Most of the user data is deleted after deletion of User's user account. We can store some essential user data, such as User's contact data and communication data as long as such processing is required by law or is reasonably necessary for our legitimate interest such as claims handling, bookkeeping, internal reporting, reconciliation or other legal action purposes. Your email address is stored for direct marketing purposes until further notice, if you have given your consent for direct marketing. If you later opt out of the direct marketing, we delete other information regarding the direct marketing, but will retain the information that you have opted out of the direct marketing to ensure compliance with the opt-out.
6. Can my personal data be transferred to third countries?
Depending on your location, data transfers may involve transferring and storing your Personal Data in a country other than your own. Hashlist stores your Personal Data primarily within the European Economic Area. However, we have service providers and company partners in several geographical locations. As such, we, our service providers, and company partners may transfer your personal data to, or access it in, jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area or outside your domicile. We will take steps to ensure that Personal Data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which they are processed. We provide adequate protection for the transfers of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area through a series of agreements with our service providers and business partners based on the Standard Contractual Clauses and/or through other appropriate safeguards. You are entitled to learn about the legal basis of information transfers to a country outside the European Economic Area and about the security measures taken by us to safeguard your Personal Data. If any such transfer takes place, you can find out more by checking the relevant sections of this document or inquire with us using the contact information provided in the contact section.
