The following information allows you to know your rights, as well as the conditions under which your Personal Data is collected, processed, stored and archived.

 

What is personal data?

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier, such as name, identity card, gender, date and place of birth, telephone, home address, GPS location, portrait in a photograph, medical record, bank card, income, payment history, IP address, among others.

Personal data we process and legal basis

The above-mentioned data may be communicated during the recruitment process, through your application, during subsequent communications, by telephone or during interviews.

We may also receive or obtain Personal Data about you from third parties - for example: recruitment consultants, references from a previous employer, business partners, subcontractors providing recruitment or technical services, analytics providers (such as career assessment companies), background check service providers, data providers, and ranking or open data agencies where such Personal Data is commensurate with the job for which you are applying.

We will also process the personal data we ask you to provide as part of the process of evaluating your application for a job opening at Voltalia.

We ask only for personal data considered adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary to achieve the purposes for which they are collected. Your refusal to provide this information may prevent us from following up on your application, as Voltalia may consider this data to be necessary to manage the recruitment process.

Voltalia relies on at least one of the following legal bases for this decision:

The processing is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which Voltalia is subject (including verification of your eligibility to work);

The processing is necessary to carry out all pre-contractual steps related to your application (including the verification of your professional qualifications and work experience - Legitimate Interest and the execution and/or preparation of the contract) ;

The processing is necessary for Voltalia's legitimate interests - including recruiting qualified individuals who meet our expectations - without ignoring your interest and your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Processing of data relating to legal documents or your criminal record will be carried out in accordance with applicable laws and particular circumstances (e.g. for applicants for vacancies in the finance department or where required or permitted by applicable law, national collective agreements or binding decisions of the relevant data protection regulatory authority).

The legal grounds for processing will be: the need to comply with a legal obligation and/or Voltalia's legitimate interest in recruiting individuals for positions requiring the frequent processing of important values and information, who demonstrate appropriate seriousness and ability.

Why is your data collected by Voltalia?

We will collect various types of personal data about you for the purposes explained in the present policy, including:

Data about you: first and last name, gender, marital status, date of birth, age, contact information (e.g. telephone number, address, e-mail address), immigration status (residence permit, identity card, etc.) and work permit; Details of your professional experience and qualifications: diplomas, references ; Your application data: CV and application materials, interview data, audio and video recording of interviews (with prior notification and express consent) and, if necessary, reference checks;

Where appropriate, data from criminal records and other legal documents will also be collected in accordance with applicable laws and based on specific circumstances (e.g., for applicants for finance-related positions).

Who will receive your data?

Voltalia is based in several countries, and may have different recruitment needs depending on the location, so we can call on the group's human resources teams in all geographies (depending on your interest and profile).

Therefore, your personal data may be shared with affiliates when it is reasonable and necessary to do so.

At Voltalia, the human resources team and those responsible for managing or making recruitment decisions, IT systems administrators and other support staff, may access your personal data or receive internal communications if necessary.

Eventually, third parties providing services related to your recruitment (for example: recruitment consultants, hosting companies, computer systems and application support and/or maintenance used for our recruitment purposes and other HR systems, as well as companies checking your references, conducting background checks or other checks on our behalf, who may access your personal data).

Voltalia will not share your personal data with unauthorized third parties.

How long and where is the data stored?

We apply what we consider to be reasonable standards of physical, technical and administrative security to protect your data from loss, unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, destruction or damage.

However, sharing information over the Internet is not completely secure. While we make every effort to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of the data submitted to the site and its transmission is at your own risk. Once we receive your personal data, we will implement strict procedures and security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

Your personal data may be transferred outside your country for the purposes as explained in the present policy.. Among other things, your data may be transferred for the purposes of reviewing your application, processing your information and providing support services.

We may share your personal data (i) with other Voltalia employees; (ii) with Voltalia employees (in the country in which you apply and in other countries where Voltalia has operations, including the EU-EEA); and (iii) with third parties as explained in the present policy.

Transfers of personal data are based on the same legal grounds as those applicable to the purposes of processing set out in this policy.

Our general approach is to retain your personal data only for a period of 2 years after our last contact, in order to consider you for future employment opportunities, unless you expressly object to its processing.

We will also retain your personal data in order to be able to bring a lawsuit or defend ourselves as a party to a lawsuit during the applicable statute of limitations, or as required by legal and regulatory obligations.
