2. What Personal Data We Collect

When you apply for a position through AB TALENT, we may collect:

  • Full name
  • Email address and telephone number
  • Location
  • Position applied for
  • CV, résumé and professional qualifications
  • Employment history, skills and experience
  • Information you voluntarily provide during the recruitment process
  • Recruitment-related correspondence and interview notes

Please avoid including sensitive personal information in your application unless it is genuinely necessary and there is an appropriate legal basis for us to process it.

3. How and Why We Use Your Data

We process candidate information to:

  • Receive and review job applications
  • Assess suitability for relevant vacancies
  • Communicate with candidates about recruitment opportunities
  • Arrange interviews and coordinate recruitment processes
  • Introduce suitable candidates to prospective employers
  • Maintain necessary recruitment records
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our legal rights

Depending on the activity, our legal basis may include legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, compliance with legal obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, or consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where specifically requested.

Our legitimate interests include operating our recruitment services, evaluating applications and facilitating relevant introductions between candidates and hiring organizations.

We will not use your application for unrelated marketing purposes.

4. Sharing Your Personal Data

We may share relevant candidate information with:

  • Prospective employers or hiring organizations involved in the vacancy for which you are being considered
  • Authorized AB TALENT recruitment personnel
  • Service providers supporting recruitment administration, including Tally and, where integrated, Google Workspace
  • Professional advisers or public authorities where legally necessary

Where a prospective employer receives your information as an independent data controller, it may provide its own privacy information.

We do not sell candidates’ personal data.

5. International Data Transfers

AB TALENT works with international clients, including organizations outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will ensure that an appropriate legal transfer mechanism is in place, such as an applicable European Commission adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, together with additional safeguards where required.

You may request further information about international transfers by contacting us.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain candidate information for the duration of the relevant recruitment process and, where justified, for a limited period afterwards to address recruitment-related queries or legal claims.

Standard retention period: 3 years.

We will not retain applications indefinitely. Any additional retention for future recruitment opportunities will require an appropriate legal basis and separate information to the candidate.

7. Your Data Protection Rights

Subject to applicable legal requirements, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal data
  • Request restriction of processing
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Request data portability where applicable
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights, contact alexandra@abtalent.co.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority, Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych (UODO), at https://uodo.gov.pl.

8. Providing Your Information

Providing an application is voluntary. However, certain information is necessary for us to assess your application and contact you about the relevant position.

If you do not provide the information required to evaluate your application, we may be unable to proceed with the recruitment process.

9. Automated Decision-Making

AB TALENT does not make recruitment decisions based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects on candidates.

10. Changes to This Notice

We may update this Candidate Privacy Notice to reflect changes in our recruitment activities, service providers or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be available on our website.
