Collected Data
· Identity data including full name, address, email, phone number, links to website profiles and other contact details
· Material submitted by the applicant, such as educational information, application letter, work history, references, position applied for, salary requests;
· Skills and competencies data such as certificates and ratings, qualifications and skills, test or evaluation results conducted during the recruitment process.
· Other information that the candidate has provided of themselves in connection with the application process, such as a picture, language skills, other special skills, description of personal features and other possible information that the candidates themselves have provided voluntarily in connection with the recruitment process or information that the controller has collected based on a separate consent of the data subject.
· Information regarding the recruitment process of the candidate such as information of upcoming further interviews or of the interruption of the recruitment process.
· Gender identity that the data subject themselves have provided voluntarily when applying through our website, as part of gathering statistical information to improve diversity outreach projects.
· Other data relating to the applying process, such as assessment results, amount of applications sent, and source of application.
We only collect and store information that is either relevant for the ongoing recruitment process or necessary for your or our rights and obligations in the context of establishing an employment relationship.
We may also engage in candidate sourcing and headhunting in order to fill certain positions or receive references from Supercell employees about a potential candidate for a job position at Supercell. In this context we may collect and process personal data available from public sources, such as the information available on potential candidate’s LinkedIn profile or similar profile. We may also receive contact information about the potential candidate directly from the Supercell employee making the referral.
We might use third party platforms such as LinkedIn or Stackoverflow to find potential candidates, and get in touch through these platforms. If a potential candidate is interested in continuing with the hiring process, Supercell will ask for permission to add the potential candidate into Supercell’s internal recruitment system. In case the potential candidate declines Supercell’s outreach and offer to keep in touch in case other relevant positions open, then Supercell will not add the person’s contact details to the recruitment tool.
Purpose of Use and Legal Grounds of Processing
The applicant data is used for handling the relationship between the applicant and Supercell, including candidate sourcing, recruitment processes, candidate evaluation and communication and making a decision on recruitment. The purpose of the processing of personal data is actions related to the recruitment process and management of the recruitment process and enabling contacts regarding application and selection processes from persons (data subjects) who have applied for the positions.
The data may also be used to analyse and develop Supercell’s activities based on Supercell’s legitimate interests, in which case we weigh our own interests against your right to privacy. When engaging in headhunting we also process personal data based on our legitimate interests. We store personal data under this privacy policy for a certain period based on our legitimate interest for the purpose of possible litigation, claims or regulatory investigations.
For candidates making it to onsite interviews we gather and process information relating to travel arrangements, as well as any personal information relating to immigration and relocation for successful applicants (employees).
Applicant data is processed on the basis of contractual obligations and legitimate interests of Supercell or of the applicant in connection to the recruitment process in order for Supercell to assess the potential grounds for entering into an employment contract with the applicant. Supercell may also send marketing-related communications to the applicant, subject to the right to opt out.
Supercell may hire contractors and consultants to process applicant data on Supercell’s behalf.
