We collect any personal data you share with us, as a candidate or as a referred candidate, for the purpose of interviewing as part of our recruitment process. You directly send this data, and we protect it from all unentitled parties.

You can apply to our openings through several channels, such as filling out an application on our website, using our applications on LinkedIn, being contacted by our recruitment agencies, being referred by a friend who works with us, being contacted directly by our recruiters or using professional recruitment platforms yourself.

Sometimes, the selection process starts with you sending an email directly to representatives of the Talent Acquisition team.

Whenever you submit your application it is likely that other data related to you will be obtained during the interview process (including public sources or third parties), in accordance with legal requirements.

Sand will only process your personal data for recruitment purposes, with the following additions:

• The recruitment process may include communication with You, evaluation and/or verification of CVs and references, interviews, and assessments.
• If the recruitment process is successful and You are hired, the data will be used later in the Onboarding process.
• If the job application is rejected (unsuccessful candidates), we will keep your CV/Resume for a limited period. Why? to notify you about other available job opportunities at Sand or to exercise our right of defense in case of legal action or complaints against us. Remember that you can always object to this and inform us.
• If You apply to several roles we will keep your data under a single profile to have the data complete and updated.
• We will use aggregate data for data analysis and reporting. This will allow us to improve the process and share results with our partners or clients.

• Identification and contact details: name, surname, phone, address, email.
• Different personal data contained in your CV/Resume, provided by You, such as birthplace, nationality, gender, photo etc.
• Data related to professional life: previous jobs, employers, occupations, desired jobs, career prospects, desired salary, and so on.
• Data related to your education such as studies, qualifications, educational experiences, and references from universities, professors and so on.
• Data related to the evaluation of candidates (including interview notes, assignments/exercises).
• Data obtained through background checks (such as checking diplomas/certifications, cross-checking with criminal records, social media handles you shared or checking references provided by you).

We will keep your personal data for a maximum of five years in accordance with our internal policies and applicable law. During this period, we might contact you about other job opportunities. Your data will be deleted at the end of this period.

If at some point during the five years, you enter another recruitment process for another job opportunity, apply for another job opportunity (directly or referred by a colleague), or send updates regarding your CV/Resume or professional motivation for accuracy reasons, we will restart the time frame, and your data will be kept for five years starting with the last official change.

If, at any point, you want us to delete any or all the data we have of You, please inform us, by sending us an email to: hiring@sandtech.com and we will proceed accordingly.
