3. Applicants to Tellent jobs (careers.tellent.com)

This section applies to applicants of jobs at Tellent as shown on our Careers Site (careers.tellent.com) and any other candidates or potential candidates for any jobs with Tellent. Our customers have separate privacy policies for their recruitment activities and such recruitment activities are not covered by this privacy policy.

Tellent may collect your personal data for recruitment purposes in one of the following three ways:

  1. You apply for a job at Tellent: If you apply for a job at Tellent then we process your personal data to facilitate the entire job application procedure on the grounds of our legitimate interests for recruitment. Your data will be kept by Tellent for up to 37 days. That period may be extended by 37 days after we have last corresponded with you over email to make sure that your personal data is not deleted while you are in an application procedure. If you provide your consent for it, Tellent may keep your profile in its talent pool for Tellent to reach out to you about future job opportunities and to otherwise process your personal data in relation to recruitment for job openings at Tellent. 
  2. We source you through publicly available resources: Tellent may, based on its legitimate interests for recruitment, search through publicly available resources such as LinkedIn to find candidates that have skills, experience and interests that match with Tellent’s staffing needs. If Tellent believes that you may be a match with Tellent’s staffing needs, then Tellent will, based on its legitimate interests for recruitment, process your personal data for the purpose of reaching out to you and asking for your consent to match you with job opportunities at Tellent and to otherwise process your personal data in relation to recruitment for job openings at Tellent. If the consent is not provided then your personal data will be automatically deleted within 37 days after it has first been collected. If consent is required under applicable law to contact you, we will only contact you if you have consented.
  3. You are referred by someone: Someone who knows you might refer you to us because that person believes you have skills, experience and interests that match with Tellent’s staffing needs. Upon receiving your contact details and determining that you are a good match we will, based on our legitimate interests for recruitment, reach out to you to ask for your consent to match you with job opportunities at Tellent and to otherwise process your personal data in relation to recruitment for job openings at Tellent. If the consent is not provided then your personal data will be automatically deleted within 37 days after it has first been collected. If consent is required under applicable law to contact you, we will only contact you if you have consented.

The following personal data can be processed for a job application procedure or other recruitment activities:

  • Any personal data that you provide through our job application form or that we collect during the recruitment process including, but not limited to:
    • Contact details such as full name, email address, phone number
    • Picture, cover letter, résumé and LinkedIn profile
    • Which job you are in a hiring process for
    • Statuses, notes, evaluations and planning related to a hiring process that relates to you
    • Email and SMS communications

Under European data protection law we are required to inform you that withholding personal data in your job application can give you a disadvantage in comparison to other candidates who are applying for the same role. Tellent may share your personal data with individual Tellent entities once a hiring decision has been made for the purpose of making a hire through that entity.

4. Cookie permissions

Upon visiting our websites for the first time you are presented with our cookie consent tools. The cookie consent tools offer visitors a choice to either accept or reject cookies that require your consent under data protection law. Tellent will always respect your choices. It’s also possible to either disable or delete our cookies in your internet browser.

5. Transfers outside of the European Union

A processing of personal data under the responsibility of Tellent may involve a transfer of personal data outside of the European Union (such as to the United States of America and the United Kingdom). In such cases Tellent always remains the responsible party for the processing (controller). In the absence of adequacy decisions (such as the Data Privacy Framework and the UK adequacy decision), Tellent uses standard contractual clauses for use between controller and controller (module one) and between controller and processor (module two) as grounds for legitimizing such a transfer. Please note that Tellent will never transfer personal data that it processes on behalf of its Customers, as a processor, outside of the European Union, unless the Customer instructs Tellent to do so. Please contact us for more information about data transfers to countries outside of the European Union. 

6. Your rights, requests or questions

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding your personal data. You can also contact us with requests to exercise your rights under European data protection law. Such rights include the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to processing.

Wherever we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

There are instances where we have a legitimate interest to use your data. Our legitimate interest will vary depending on what we are using your data for, and we explain above what the interest is and how it relates to the processing operations that we are carrying out. Where we process personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest, then – as required by data protection law – we have carried out a balancing test to document our interests, to consider what the impact of the processing will be on individuals and to determine whether individuals interests outweigh our interests in the processing taking place. You can obtain more information about this balancing test by contacting info@tellent.com.

If you would like to exercise your rights or otherwise have any requests or questions with regard to your personal data you can contact us at: info@tellent.com.

If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to a data protection authority in the country that you reside in or, the country of your place of work or the country where the alleged infringement took place. If you are based in the EU, you can find the contact details of your local data protection authority by clicking here.
