GDPR

General notes

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to organizations worldwide that make use of Personal Data of European citizens. This EU Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 entered into force on 25th of May 2018. Non-compliance could result in fines of up to € 20,000,000 or 4% of your annual turnover.

Definitions

You, following the GDPR definition, are seen as "Data Controller". You have the responsibility for the protection of your contact persons', applicants' and candidates personal data, and you are fully responsible for whatever is done with that data. This means you'll need to have full control over how that Personal Data are kept and processed by your ATS to be GDPR compliant.

Being a User of Jobin system, you are fully equipped with all tools and functionality for that (see below for details).

Candidates are "Data Subjects", as they can be identified from the personal data they are giving to recruiters. They are the "owner" of their personal data and have rights on how their personal data are kept and used.

Jobin, is seen as "Data Processor" under the GDPR definition because it process the data on behalf of the Data Controllers. The responsibility of the Data Processor is to make sure that all technical aspects and the tools required to be compliant are in place and accessible to all the Users, both the "Data Controller" and the "Data Subjects".

Service suppliers

Through the course of our ongoing operations and providing our service to customers, we may enlist third-party web services, software, SaaS, PaaS or IaaS suppliers (i.e video conferencing, issue tracking, accounting or other line-of-business applications) in order to meet our business obligations.

Some of these suppliers may be located outside of the EU and as such are outside the direct jurisdiction of the GDPR. Where this is the case, we both adopt our own standard internal data protection measures and ensure that an equivalent level of Data Protection to GDPR (or potentially better) is in place for the providers we use and that they explicitly comply with GDPR regulatory requirements, either directly in their contractual agreements or by adopting data protection standards such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (See here for details)
