Where the Controller is contacted by telephone, in matters not related to a contract concluded or services provided, the Controller may request the provision of Personal Data only if it is necessary to handle the case to which the contact relates. In such a case, the legal basis is the legitimate interest of the Controller (Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR), consisting in the need to resolve a reported case related to its business activity.

- 5.7. The area covered by the Controller’s monitoring system shall be marked with appropriate graphic signage.
- RECRUITMENT
5.8. As part of recruitment processes, the Controller expects the transfer of Personal Data (e.g. in a CV) only to the extent specified in the provisions of labour law. Therefore, more extensive information should not be provided. In the event that applications submitted contain additional data beyond the scope indicated by the provisions of labour law, their processing will be based on the candidate’s consent (Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR), expressed through an unambiguous confirmation act, which is the submission of application documents by the candidate. If applications submitted contain information not relevant to the purpose of recruitment, they shall not be used or taken into account in the recruitment process. - 5.9. Personal data shall be processed:
- 5.9.1. if the preferred form of employment is a contract of employment – in order to fulfil obligations arising from the provisions of law related to the employment process, including, in particular, the Labour Code – the legal basis for processing is the legal obligation to which the Controller is subject (Article 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR in conjunction with the provisions of labour law);
- 5.9.2. if the preferred form of employment is a civil law contract – for the purposes of the recruitment process – the legal basis for the processing of data contained in the application documents is the need to take steps at the request of the Data Subject prior to entering into a contract (Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR);

Where consent is given for the purposes of future recruitment processes, personal data shall be erased after a period of two years, unless consent has been withdrawn earlier.
- 5.11. The provision of data as specified in Article 22(1) of the Labour Code is required by law, in particular, by the Labour Code where the candidate prefers employment on the basis of a contract of employment, and by the Controller where employment is preferred on the basis of a civil law contract. The consequence of not to provide such data is the inability to consider the candidature concerned in the recruitment process. The provision of other data is voluntary.
- DATA COLLECTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF SERVICES OR THE PERFORMANCE OF OTHER CONTRACTS
5.12. In the case of data collection for purposes related to the performance of a specific contract, the Controller shall provide the Data Subject with detailed information concerning the processing of the Data Subject’s personal data at the time of entering into the contract or at the time of obtaining personal data where the processing is necessary for the Controller to take steps at the request of the Data Subject prior to entering into the contract.

- 5.14. Such personal data shall be processed for the purpose of fulfilling the legitimate interest of the Controller and its counterparty (Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR), consisting in enabling the proper and effective performance of the contract.

- 5.15. Data shall be processed for the period necessary for the performance of the above interests and for the performance of obligations arising from the provisions of law.

- DATA TRANSFER OUTSIDE THE EEA

- PERIOD OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING
- 8.1. The period of data processing by the Controller depends on the type of service provided and the purpose of processing.
