While assessing your performance with the position specifications, P2H may also collect and process your personal data regarding cooperation with your current employer (e.g., if you are part of the senior leadership team of a target company). This Privacy Notice does not apply to the personal data of our employees, partners, clients, vendors or any other person from whom P2H collects personal data for other purposes.

- This Privacy Notice does not form part of any contract of employment, service provision agreement and other agreement of any kind, which is offered to candidates hired or engaged by P2H.
Personal data we collect
The types of personal data that we request from you and the ways that we process it are determined by the requirements of the country in which the position you apply for is located, and not the country in which you reside. We usually collect personal data directly from you when you apply for a role with us, such as your name, address, contact information, photographs, work and educational history, achievements, identity documents, and test results. We also collect similar personal data about you from third parties, such as professional recruiting firms, your references, prior employers, P2H team members with whom you have interviewed or who recommended your candidacy, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law. We may also collect personal data about you online to the extent that you have chosen to make this information publicly available. For example, we may find your profile on professional social media websites (such as LinkedIn), and contact you about suitable positions.
Sensitive personal data is a subset of personal data that includes ethnicity, health, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, and other categories as prescribed by law. We are not collect sensitive personal data about a candidate. We may also collect sensitive personal data to the extent that a candidate chooses, without being asked, to voluntarily disclose it during the recruiting process.

- In part, on our legitimate business interests in evaluating your application to manage our relationship with you, to ensure that we recruit appropriate candidate, and to evaluate and maintain the efficacy of our recruiting process more generally;

Data recipients and international data transfers
Your personal data may be accessed by recruiters and interviewers working in the country where the position for which you are applying for is based. Individuals performing administrative functions and IT personnel (IT administrator, IT support etc.) within P2H may also have limited access to your personal data to the extent necessary to perform their jobs.

Automated sorting of applications
We may use data analytics and algorithms to help us to review the large quantities of candidates and application data that we receive. These algorithms help us prioritize the application review process and sort candidates on the basis of professional characteristics that suggest strengths and capabilities necessary to perform the relevant role. The algorithms are designed to analyze the candidate’s application data and compare it to our historical data on previously successful and unsuccessful candidates.
The automated results are always considered in tandem with, and not in lieu of, human judgment. We evaluate each individual candidate on their own merits.
Certain roles may require specific prerequisites or skills (for example, fluency in a certain language, particular professional qualifications or certifications, or number of years in a similar role). Applications that do not meet those requirements will be automatically rejected.
Data retention
If you accept an offer of cooperation with us, any relevant personal data collected during your pre-cooperation period will become part of your personall records and will be retained in accordance with specific country requirements and with the privacy notice applicable to P2H contractors and employees, which will be provided during the on-boarding process.
If we do not cooperate with you, we may nevertheless continue to retain and use your personal data for a period of time (which may vary depending on the country) for system administration purposes, to consider you for potential future positions, and to perform research. Thereafter, we retain a minimal amount of your personal data to record your recruiting activity with us.
We may want to remain in contact with you and consider you for future cooperation opportunities.
