4. Legal Basis for Processing

We primarily process your personal data based on your consent when you voluntarily submit your information and agree that it may be processed and forwarded to recruitment partners.

Processing may also be necessary in order to take steps at your request before entering into an employment or recruitment-related agreement.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that took place before the consent was withdrawn.

5. Sharing Your Information with Recruitment Partners

The purpose of Work in Scandinavia is to connect people looking for work with recruitment agencies and employers in Scandinavia.

For this reason, information submitted through our website may be forwarded to relevant recruitment partners, including recruitment agencies operating in:

• Sweden
• Finland
• Other Scandinavian or European countries where relevant employment opportunities are available

One of our recruitment partners may, for example, be XL-Bemanning in Norway.

Your information will only be shared when it is relevant to your job enquiry or application.

Once your information has been transferred to a recruitment company or employer, that organisation may process your information as an independent data controller under its own privacy policy.

6. International Data Transfers

Our primary recruitment activities take place within the European Economic Area (EEA).

If personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection legislation.

7. How Long We Keep Your Information

Personal data is kept only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Job application and enquiry information will normally be retained for a maximum of 12 months, unless:

• You request that your information be deleted earlier
• You give permission for us to retain your information longer
• We are required by law to retain certain information

After the applicable retention period, the information will be deleted or anonymised.

8. Security of Your Personal Data

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

• Misuse
• Alteration
• Disclosure
• Destruction

Access to personal information is limited to persons and partners who need the information for recruitment-related purposes.
