5. IF YOU APPLY FOR A JOB WITH GEORG JENSEN

Should you apply for a job with Georg Jensen, including affiliated companies (see an overview of group companies within Georg Jensen A/S here), we process your personal data in connection with the recruitment process. The data controller for the processing of your personal information as part of the handling of your application is the company in which you have applied for a job. Where the company is located within the EU/EEA, Georg Jensen A/S manages the recruitment process on behalf of the company in question and will therefore be the data processor. 

We recommend that your application does not contain sensitive or otherwise confidential personal data, such as personal data revealing racial or ethnic background, religion, trade union membership, sexuality, health information or social security number. 

Types of personal data

Georg Jensen can collect, process and store the following types of personal information about you: 

• Contact information such as name, e-mail address and phone number

Purpose of the data processing 
Your personal data will be used to assess your suitability for a position at Georg Jensen.

Basis for data processing 
Georg Jensen processes your personal data on one or more of the following bases: 

• Legitimate interests: We may process your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interest in assessing whether we wish to offer you employment, including on the basis of the information you provide in your CV, application and any supporting documents, on the basis of relevant information publicly available on the internet and social media, results of personality tests, references from sponsors, and other information you provide to us in connection with the recruitment process.

Processing may also be necessary for our legitimate interest in defending or asserting legal claims (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation). If we need to see your criminal record as part of our assessment, we base the processing of your criminal record on our legitimate interest in checking for possible criminal offences in cases where the position you are applying for requires (Section 8(3) of the Data Protection Act).

• Contractual obligations: If you proceed with the recruitment process and we wish to offer you employment, your personal data will be processed for the purpose of concluding an employment agreement with you (Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation). 

• Consent: If we cannot offer you an employment, we will in some cases offer you to save your application for later use, provided that you give your consent to this storage (Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation). 
  
  If, in exceptional circumstances, the position you have applied for imposes special requirements on health conditions that we must know about on a case-by-case basis before we can offer you employment, we will ask for your explicit consent prior to the processing of such data (Article 6(1)(a) and (b) and Article 9(2)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation). 

You may revoke at any time any consents you may have given as part of our recruitment process. Withdrawal of your consent will have an effect on the future processing of your personal data, but does not affect the legality of processing based on the consent prior to your withdrawal. If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us as indicated below.

Retention period
If you are offered a position with Georg Jensen, your application as well as additional relevant personal data collected in connection with the recruitment procedure will be stored in your personnel file with us.
