Pursuant to Article 13(1)(c) of the GDPR, the processing of candidates’ personal data is based on the following legal bases:

Legitimate Interests 

The legitimate interest pursued by the controller consists of maintaining a database of potential candidates for the purpose of contacting them regarding current or future job opportunities within Glintt Global Group or related companies that may be considered suitable for their profile. 

The candidates may object to this processing at any time. If they do so, they will no longer be considered for future opportunities and their data will be erased from the database. Candidates may, at any time, submit a new application. 

To exercise this right, you may contact us by email at privacidade@glinttglobal.com.  

 

Active Sourcing of Candidates 

In addition to receiving unsolicited applications, Glintt Global S.A. may identify and proactively contact potential candidates through searches in publicly accessible sources available on the internet, namely professional social networks, such as LinkedIn, and other public employment platforms. 

The processing of personal data collected through this means is based on the legitimate interests pursued by Glintt Global S.A. (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), consisting of the identification of qualified candidates for its recruitment needs. Only data relevant for assessing the candidate’s professional suitability for the relevant vacancy will be processed, and no special categories of personal data (Article 9 of the GDPR) will be collected. 

Pursuant to Article 14 of the GDPR, where Glintt Global S.A. contacts a candidate identified through this means, it will provide, at the time of first contact, all relevant information concerning the processing of their personal data, including the source of the data and the right to object. 

The data subject may object to this process at any time without having to provide justification, by contacting the email address mentioned above. In such cases, the data will be erased, and the candidate will not be contacted in the future in the context of recruitment processes of the Glintt Global Group.
