If you have applied for a job or have been contacted for recruitment purposes, but did not receive an employment offer, your personal data will usually be kept for a period of 5 years, so as for us to be able to re-contact you should we have any new professional opportunity available.
Sharing your personal data
To achieve better quality or efficiency in the processing of data, we may enter into contracts with third parties to carry out this processing on our behalf and only according to our instructions. Typically, this may include data hosting providers and other digital marketing providers. When data is transferred to such service providers, these are bound by specific agreements and are required to keep your data securely.
In addition, as part of our day-to-day activities, we may share your personal data with business partners such as events organizers, etc.
Depending on the event, Eurelectric may make available a list of participating companies to our business partners (e.g. sponsors).. The data that will be distributed will only concern the company names and job functions of the participants. Should our business partners wish to reach out to participating companies, this will be done via Eurelectric without any directly identifiable personal data being made available to these business partners without the prior consent of the participant.”
Cross-border transfers of personal data
The technical processing and transmission of your personal data (whether within Eurelectric or through third parties) may involve transmissions over various networks, including the transfer of your personal data to other countries. However, your personal data shall not be transferred to recipients outside the European Economic Area (EEA) which do not offer a level of protection for personal data comparable to that offer by European Union law.
