The company\u2019s management system includes instructions on how information may be collected, stored, processed, and shared. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Talent Search AB is the data controller for the processing of all personal data within the company, except in cases where the company processes personal data on behalf of another party and acts as a data processor.

Processing personal data in a manner inconsistent with the original purpose is not permitted unless consent has been obtained from the data subject. Personal data shall only be processed by employees with expertise in the field and shall be handled, stored, updated, and deleted in accordance with established procedures and with sufficiently high security standards.<\/p>\n<p>All individuals affected by this policy shall be informed about how and why their personal data is processed by the Company.

The business has restricted access to personal data so that only authorized individuals have access. To prevent data breaches, two-factor authentication is used for access to the database. In addition to standard encryption, the Company has an additional security program to quickly detect data breaches through the website (<a href=\"https:\/\/talentsearch.se\/en\/\">www.talentsearch.se<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andcompany.se\">www.andcompany.se<\/a>). The company, through its provider, continuously monitors any alerts received via email from the provider\u2019s monitoring system and initiates troubleshooting in the event of a breach. The website is monitored around the clock by the provider\u2019s monitoring system, which checks and issues alerts based on the following monitoring points when, according to the provider, they fall outside normal ranges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Access to Data<br \/>\n<\/strong>Access to personal data shall be access-controlled and limited to authorized personnel and the data subject.

Examples of such information include a person\u2019s place of residence, contact information, details about previous employers, and information disclosed during an interview. The latter may include, for example, a Consultant\u2019s preferences regarding clients, availability, and compensation requirements. In all cases, the information must be treated with the utmost care and must not negatively impact the Consultant\u2019s eligibility for future consulting assignments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Data Storage<\/strong><br \/>\nPersonal data that is stored may not be older than five (5) years in order to remain stored in the system. This means that if you, as a Consultant, have not actively updated your information and the Company has not actively collected data by contacting you, your profile will be deleted from our database. We ensure this is done on an ongoing basis by sending systematic reminders to Consultants whose information is not up to date. The primary responsibilities of Talent Search\u2019s administrative staff include maintaining the database and regularly contacting Consultants. If a Consultant fails to update their information despite being requested to do so, shows no interest in the Service, or has entered into employment and has no intention of continuing as a consultant in the future, their profile will be deleted.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The information stored for all consultants is:<\/span><br \/>\nCandidate ID: 1234<br \/>\nCandidate Name: Erik Eriksson<br \/>\nPersonal Identification Number: 19YYMMDD-XXXX<br \/>\nCell phone: 070-123 45 67<br \/>\nEmail: exempel@exampel.com<br \/>\nMailing Address: Exempelv\u00e4gen 1, 111 22 Stad<br \/>\nPlace of residence: Stockholm<br \/>\nOccupational Category: Economics<br \/>\nCurrent Position: Chief Financial Officer<\/p>\n<p>Personal information: <em>Name, Social Security number, home address, contact information<\/em><br \/>\nCareer Information:<em> resume, cover letter, employment certificate, tax form, employer's certificate, background check, attachments<br \/>\n<\/em>Information created for assessments:<em> meeting minutes, notes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Information in meeting minutes<\/strong><br \/>\nTalent Search employees take notes on an ongoing basis for both Clients and Consultants.
