Scalable Solutions AG will not process special categories of personal data unless (i) you have explicitly consented to this, (ii) the processing is required by applicable law, or (iii) the processing is otherwise permitted under applicable law. These special categories of personal data may include data about a person’s criminal behavior, or unlawful or objectionable conduct connected with a ban imposed with regard to such conduct.

Lawfulness of the processing

Scalable Solutions AG may process your personal data on one or more of, but not limited to, the following legal bases:

• you have given consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more of the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Statement;
• processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;
• processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Scalable Solutions AG is subject;
• processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Scalable Solutions AG or by a third party, if and in so far permitted under applicable law, including the legitimate interests that Scalable Group has:
• to adequately perform its business activities;
• to adequately perform other activities supportive of or closely related to its business activities, including the prevention of fraud and, internal market research;

Any recipient of the personal data

Your personal data will be stored in databases used by the recruitment and human resources department for the purposes mentioned above. Scalable Solutions AG may hire third party processors in order to process your personal data. Access to your personal data is strictly controlled through an extensive security system in our network. Access to our database is limited to explicit human resources professionals, managers/heads, certain persons from the legal and/or compliance department(s) and will only be shared with other personnel or agents on a “need to know basis” for the purposes as set out above.

Transfers to third countries and safeguards

Your personal data will be stored in databases used by the human resources department, which are part of Scalable Solutions’ global human resources information management system (“HRIS”). Although HRIS is the primary system of record for personal data about employees, it is not the only system or tool used. Departments or managers may also use manual files, spreadsheets, access databases, and the like, to manage and store personal data. However, the primary system of record remains the HRIS. Your personal data may be located in countries other than the country in which your personal data was originally collected. The laws in those countries may not provide the same level of data protection compared to the country in which you initially provided your data. It is therefore possible that the European Commission has not declared that those countries provide an adequate level of protection. Nonetheless, when Scalable Solutions AG transfers your personal data to recipients in other countries, including the United States of America, Singapore and Hong Kong, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Statement and in compliance with the applicable data protection laws.

Retention period

Scalable Solutions AG will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes specified above, and in any case at least as long as required under applicable law. Your data will continue to exist in our databases for the period in which Scalable Solutions AG must use it (for example, to prepare government tax statements), and then be archived or deleted, with specific timeframes determined by local laws and good business practice. In accordance with the applicable law, if you are not hired, Scalable Solutions AG shall retain your personal data for as long as necessary and allowed under the applicable laws. In addition, Scalable Group may retain your personal data for scientific, historical and statistical purposes.

The existence of each of data subject’s rights

Under applicable data protection laws you may have rights, which may include the right to view your personal data that Scalable Solutions AG maintains, correct or delete inaccurate personal data, restrict the processing of your personal data, oppose against the processing of your personal data, receive your personal data and transmit your personal data to another controller, withdraw consent provided by you, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Consequences in case of refusal to provide personal data

The provision of your personal data may be required pursuant to a statutory or contractual obligation, or may be necessary for the execution of a contract. In that respect you may be required to provide certain personal data to Scalable Solutions AG, and failure to do so may result in Scalable Solutions AG deciding not to enter into a contract with you, or – if a contract has already been entered into – may have consequences for the contract between you and Scalable Solutions AG.
