The recruitment personal data register processes the personal data of job applicants so that Diak can conduct recruitments for announced vacancies and work placements in higher education and teaching, and can also process open job applications.

Processing the data in the recruitment personal data register is based on legitimate interests involving recruitment.

The recruitment personal data register contains data about people who have sent job applications to Diak.

The data was provided by the data subjects themselves.

The recruitment personal data register includes the following information: name, contact details, date of birth, gender, nationality, employment history, management experience, and other information that is relevant for the job application. The applicant may also add attachments to the application, such as a CV and a cover letter, which may contain other personal data.

Open applications are stored for three or six months.  Applications for vacancies are stored for 24 months.

Digital materials are protected with access rights, passwords, two-factor authentication, surveillance and firewalls.

Paper materials are not collected, but if paper materials are created, they will be stored in an access-controlled room in a locked cabinet for the duration of use, and disposed of in a locked trash container (“data protection bin”) when no longer needed.

Data can be disclosed to the authorities due to legal reasons (to collect statistics, for example), but it will not be disclosed to other external parties. Diak may contract external processors, who will process personal data. An external processor may be an IT system supplier, for instance.

Systems using the register do not have automatic decision-making functions.

Data will not be transferred outside the EU/EEA.

Data is transferred or disclosed outside the EU/EEA, where and to whom:

As a rule, the personal data contained in the register is not transferred outside the European Union or the European Economic Area or to international organisations. However, due to the international nature of the operations, Diak may use resources, applications and servers located outside the EU or EEA when providing the services. In these cases, Diak ensures that there is a legal basis for the transfer of data and that personal data is protected, for example by requiring standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission and compliance with appropriate technical and organizational security measures. In addition, where appropriate, a TIA assessment will be carried out in connection with such data transfer, as well as monitoring the overall level of data protection in known countries. In all cases, the data transfer is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and only to the extent strictly necessary.

You have the right to information on how and for what purpose your personal data will be processed. You can also request access to records of your personal data, and request that incorrect information be rectified.

You can also submit a request to delete your data or restrict its use. However, in some cases the data cannot be deleted or its use restricted, for example if the personal data is being processed to fulfil a legal obligation, complete a task in the public interest orexercise public authority vested in Diak.

In certain situations, you also have the right to transfer the personal data you have provided to us to another controller or to object to the processing of your personal data, i.e. to request that we do not process them at all. In addition, you may request that we do not make a decision on your part based solely on automated processing of personal data.

If you would like to know more about the processing of your data or exercise your rights, you can contact Diak’s Data Protection Officer (tietosuojavavavaava@diak.fi) or submit a request using the form found on Diak’s website https://www.vismasignforms.com/form/fa53720e-cc71-4b92-b062-6db43e0d33d3.

You also always have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If necessary, you can also contact the Data Protection Ombudsman, a government official who supervises the processing of personal data in Finland.
