We may also use your personal data to create aggregated and anonymized statistical data. We use this information to analyze recruitment trends, monitor the effectiveness of our recruitment process, and generate internal reports.

4. AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING

We do not use any form of automated decision making or profiling that produces legal or other similarly significant effects concerning you in our recruitment process. 

5. SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We share your personal data in the following ways.

For certain positions, and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, we may require a background check before making a final offer of employment. We perform these checks to verify the information you have provided during the recruitment process and to ensure the integrity and safety of our workplace. We engage a reputable third party service provider, 2Secure Sverige AB, to conduct these background checks on our behalf.

These checks may include verification of your academic and employment history, references and professional qualifications, financial checks, social media checks, company engagements checks and checks related to criminal offenses. 2Secure Sverige AB is an independent data controller when conducting background checks and it has permission from the Swedish Data Protection Authority to process personal data related to criminal offenses.

7. TRANSFERS TO COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE EU AND EEA

We transfer and share your information to third parties (including service providers operating on our behalf) which are located in countries outside the EU and/or the EEA which may not have the same level of data protection laws as those in the country where you are located.

Our main service providers, Lever Inc. and Google, are located in the United States and are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Transfers to these providers are therefore covered by an adequacy decision adopted by the EU Commission, ensuring that your data is protected.

For other transfers to a country outside the EU/EEA that is not subject to an adequacy decision, the transfers will only occur if we have entered into EU Commission-approved standard contractual clauses with the receiving entity. These clauses are designed to offer sufficient safeguards with respect to the protection of your privacy and fundamental rights. You may obtain a copy of these clauses here.

We care about privacy and security. To that end, we have implemented the appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that your personal data is collected, processed, and stored as securely as possible. For instance, we have implemented various policies including encryption, access, and retention policies to guard against unauthorized access and unnecessary retention of personal data. On top of this, we enforce contractual measures by way of non-disclosure agreements, data processing agreements, and other contractual clauses designed to keep your personal data safe.

9. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION

If your application leads to employment with us, your personal data will be transferred to and retained in our human resources information system and processed in accordance with our privacy policy for employees. Any personal data that is not relevant i) for the employment or, ii) for complying with legal obligations and for resolving potential legal claims, will be deleted or anonymized.

In other instances, the following retention periods will apply.

If we need to process your personal data to resolve a legal claim, we will retain it until the relevant legal matter has been fully and finally resolved.
