What personal information do we collect?

We collect personal information from you in several different ways; you may share that information with us, or we may collect it using other means. In this section, we explain the different ways we collect personal information from you and some ways in which that information will be used. For more detail on how we use your personal information, please see the section titled How do we use your personal information?

We collect personal information that you share with us when you contact us or interact with us through our website, email, phone or otherwise. You can decide not to provide certain information, or ask that any information you have previously shared is removed. If you do so, you may not be able to take full advantage of a career at AxiCom and progress an application.

For example, you may provide information to us when in contact about an opportunity to work at AxiCom, sharing a CV or Resume or other career information.

Through these interactions you may share with us: your name, address, email address, postal address, contact number, career history (usually in the form of a CV) as well as any other personally identifiable information you include in your interactions with AxiCom. We may also ask for additional information to assist us with our recruitment process and in the event you are offered a job.

How do we use your personal information?

We may share your personal information with companies in the AxiCom Group, and given the global nature of our company, your personal information may be transferred from one jurisdiction to another. When we make such transfers, we do so in accordance with data protection legislation, for example by using Standard Contractual Clauses where information is transferred from AxiCom in the European Economic Area to AxiCom in the United States of America.

By submitting your personal information to us, you agree to us transferring, storing and handling your personal information in this way.

We share your personal information with certain third parties who provide services on our behalf. They only have access to the personal information they need to perform those services. They are required to keep your personal information confidential and may not use it other than as we ask them to and always in accordance with this privacy notice.

We use the personal information you share with us in the following ways:

• To communicate with you;
• To provide you with updates about your AxiCom application;
• To provide services and support for any application you make;
• To facilitate any application you make to AxiCom;
• To provide updates to you about any changes to AxiCom’s policies, terms and conditions and any other matters which we may need to tell you;
• If you have asked us to keep you informed of other opportunities at AxiCom, we may periodically contact you to tell you about these; and
• To respond to your queries and requests.

We are required by law to state a “legal basis for processing”, i.e. to tell you on what grounds we are allowed to use your information. In order to assess your suitability for a role or process and consider your job application, we rely upon legitimate interests for the processing of your personal information as described above.

Contacting you in the future

If you have asked us to we will keep you informed of other opportunities at AxiCom. We do this in various ways, including email, post, via social media platforms and by phone, but only if you are happy for us to do so. We keep your information for a period of time reasonable to fulfill this purpose.

If you would like more information on how we share your personal information, please email our privacy team at [email protected].

How long do we keep your personal information?

We will retain your personal information for as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected. If we do not employ you, we may retain your personal information for up to 2 years for legal, analytical and system administration purposes and to consider you for potential future roles. Thereafter, we may retain a minimal amount of your personal data to record your recruiting activity with us.

If you are successful in your application, we will retain your information in accordance with our AxiCom Fair Processing Notice. A copy of this Notice will be provided to you upon joining AxiCom.
