Privacy notice
for job applicants

We only accept applications through the form on our website. We do not accept applications by direct email.

‍

We collect and store the information provided in your application, such as your contact details. Don’t include sensitive data such as health information, religion or political views in your application. During the recruitment we also document our interviews with you and any references we contact. We only contact references you have given us, so please inform them beforehand.

‍

We may look for candidates through public professional profiles, for example on LinkedIn. If we contact you that way, we process your name, your contact details and the professional information in your profile to assess whether you could be a good fit. If you’re not interested, tell us and we will delete your data. If we don’t hear back from you, we delete it after 3 months.

‍

We only record an interview if you give your consent. Denying a recording will not affect your application. Recordings are deleted when the recruitment is completed.

‍

We use data only to assess candidates and manage the recruitment. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring a high-quality recruiting process. For interview recordings and for keeping you in mind for future roles, the legal basis is your consent.

‍

Only people involved in the recruitment at Plantma Forestry or our external suppliers or recruitment services have access to this data. Our IT and website providers process data on our behalf, and only under our instructions.

If a provider processes data outside the EU/EEA, we make sure the safeguards required by the GDPR are in place. If needed to defend a legal claim, for example a discrimination claim, we may share data with courts or authorities. We never sell your data. We protect your data with appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

We keep applications and data about references for 24 months after the recruitment ends, so that we can handle any legal claims. After that, we delete them.

If we think you would be a good fit for a future role, we will ask for your consent to store the data longer. If you are hired, the relevant data moves to your employee file.

‍

You can ask for access to your data, and for correction, deletion, restriction of processing or, where applicable, a copy in a portable format. You can object to processing based on our legitimate interest, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Contact us at rekrytering@plantmaforestry.com.

You can also complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY, imy.se) or to the data protection authority in your EU country.
