Worko AB, 556842-0755, Sankt Eriksgatan 113, 113 43 Stockholm, (“Worko” “we” “us” etc.) provide our Customers with long-term competence plans, recruitment options and a Service to simplify the hiring and matching process with Candidates in our talent database (“Candidate”). We provide Candidates with long term career planning and match them with exciting job opportunities over the course of their career (the “Service”).
When we provide the Service, it is necessary to process personal data about the Candidates. Worko is the controller and therefore responsible for the processing of the Candidates’ personal data. We strive to maintain the highest possible standard regarding the protection of personal data.
We collect personal data about Candidates directly from the Candidate. We also collect personal data about Candidates from third parties, such as Facebook, LinkedIn and other sources. This is referred to as “Sourcing”. Sourcing is done automatically by our own developed platform and is also manually performed by our employees.
The categories of personal data that we process for the Service are: contact details (e.g. name, e-mail, address), work experience, education, preferences with regards to job opportunities, and financial information (e.g. salary claims). Only data that is relevant for the matching Service and the following recruitment processes is collected and processed.
The purpose of the processing of personal data is to provide the Service, including aggregated analysis and market research.
We base our processing on our legitimate interest in providing the Service. Matching our Customers with the best Candidates is a crucial part of our business, and it is in the interest of the Candidates to be presented with the best job opportunities and receiving assistance in long-term career planning. We have deemed that the processing is necessary to fulfil our legitimate interest, and that our interest outweighs Candidates’ interest in not having personal data processed for this purpose.
We only process personal data within the EU/EEA.
The personal data processed by Worko will be stored for 12 months, provided that we do not receive consent from you. In case of consent, we will save the data for 36 months and allow you to opt-out every 12 months. We will only process personal data as long as necessary with regards to the purpose stated above. If you wish to no longer be a Candidate in the Service, you are always welcome to notify us, after which we will cease to process your personal data (except and to the limited extent that you want us to keep a record of the fact that you do not want to be included in the Service in the future).
For the purpose of conducting our business and providing the Service, we may transfer Candidates’ personal data to the following recipients:
We prioritize personal integrity, and therefore work actively to make sure that the personal data of the Candidates is processed with utmost care. We take the measures that can be reasonably expected to make sure that the personal data of Candidates is processed safely and in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
Employees are educated about security risks as a part of onboarding, and we are handling any suspicious phishing activities with follow-up tickets to gain organizational risk mitigation.
You as a Candidate have the right to know what personal data we are processing about you, and to request a copy of such data. You also have the right to have incorrect personal data corrected, and to request deletion of your personal data. You have the right to object to and request limitation to certain processing of your personal data. However, it may result in us not being able to provide you as a Candidate with the Service. Under certain circumstances, you may extract your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and transfer it to another controller.
If you have any questions, you are most welcome to contact us at privacy@worko.com. If you have any complaints about the way we process your personal data, you have the right to file a complaint with The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Swedish: Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten).
In accordance with Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you as a Candidate have the right to request that we delete your personal data in the following situations:
How to exercise your right:
To exercise your right to be forgotten, please contact us via privacy@worko.com, and we will take steps to delete your personal data without undue delay. If we have made your personal data public, we will also take reasonable steps to inform other data controllers processing the data of your request to delete any links to or copies of that data.
We have the right to, at any time, make changes or additions to this notice. The latest version of the notice will always be available on our website.
