Our legal basis for processing your information if EU data protection or UK protection law apply to you

We collect and process your information where it is necessary in order to take steps, at your request, prior to our potentially entering into a contract of employment with you.

We may also seek your consent to process your personal information in specific circumstances or process it where necessary to comply with a legal obligation or for purposes connected to legal claims. If we use your information to improve our application or recruitment process, we do so on the basis that it is in our legitimate interests to ensure we recruit the best possible candidates.

Who may have access to your information

Your information may be shared with our affiliates in several jurisdictions, in relation to the purposes described above. If you have been referred for a job at Xeneta by a current Xeneta employee, with your consent, we may inform that employee about the progress of your application and let the Xeneta employee know the outcome of the process.
Xeneta may, in limited cases, share your information with external recruiters bound by strict confidentiality obligations, for the purposes of checking that a job application received for a role advertised in parallel by both Xeneta and a recruiter is not processed twice.
Xeneta may also use service providers acting on Xeneta’s behalf to perform some of the services described above including for the purposes of carrying personality and skill tests or the verification/background checks, where permitted by local regulations. These service providers may be located outside the country in which you live or the country where the position you have applied for is located.
Xeneta may sometimes be required to disclose your information to external third parties such as to local labor authorities, regulatory bodies and/or law enforcement agencies for the purpose of complying with applicable laws and regulations, or in response to legal process.
We will also share your personal information with other third parties if we have your consent (for example if you have given us permission to contact your references), or to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Xeneta, our users, applicants, candidates, employees or the public or as otherwise required by law.
It is your responsibility to obtain consent from references before providing their personal information to Xeneta.
Xeneta operates in several countries, which means your information may be stored and processed outside of the country or region where it was originally collected including in the United States. In some of these countries, you may have fewer rights in respect of your information than you do in your country of residence. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply the same protections described in this policy. We also comply with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data, such as the European frameworks described below. The European Commission has determined that certain countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) adequately protect personal data. You can review current European Commission adequacy decisions on the Commission website. To transfer data from the EEA to other countries, such as the United States, we comply with standard contractual clauses.

Xeneta takes appropriate steps to protect information about you that is collected, processed, and stored as part of the application and recruitment process.

Our retention of your information

We will only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with legal, regulatory, or internal policy requirements. Data relating to unsuccessful candidates for roles with Xeneta is kept for a minimum period of 12 months and a maximum of 24 months after the date on which we notify you that your most recent application has been unsuccessful; and data relating to successful candidates is dealt with by the employee privacy notice that will be provided to you upon joining Xeneta.

We retain information relating to unsuccessful candidates for various reasons, including in case we face a legal challenge in respect of a recruitment decision, and to help us better understand, analyze, and improve our recruitment processes.

We will proactively ask for your consent to keep your data for the purposes of considering you for other current or future jobs at Xeneta. If you change your mind after having provided your consent, or want us to update your personal data, please contact hr@xeneta.com. Please note, however, that we may retain some information if required by law or as necessary to protect ourselves from legal claims.

Your rights in respect to your information

In certain countries, you may have certain rights under data protection law. This may include the right to request access or to update or review your information, request that it be deleted or anonymized, or object to or restrict Xeneta using it for certain purposes.

If you wish to exercise a right of access please contact hr@xeneta.com. We will respond to any requests in accordance with applicable law, and so there may be circumstances where we are not able to comply with your request.

If you have questions you can contact: privacy@xeneta.com. Depending on your country of residence, you may also raise any questions or concerns you have regarding your personal information with your local data protection authority.

How we protect applicant personal data

Xeneta and its applicant tracking platform provider appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, misuse, disclosure or access and against all other unlawful forms of processing. These security measures have been implemented considering state of the art technology, proportionate cost of implementation, the risks presented by the processing and the nature of the personal data, with particular care for sensitive data. In particular, the Company is committed to raising awareness, confidentiality undertakings and training to ensure that data is not shared or disclosed to unauthorized persons.
