Candidate Privacy Policy

PRIVACY NOTICE ON PROCESSING OF JOB APPLICANTS’ PERSONAL DATA

This Privacy Notice describes how and why the Einride Group (“Einride” or “We” or “Our”) collect and process your personal data and what rights you have when you apply for a job at Einride.

The Privacy Notice has been adopted at group level and provides general information about personal data processing to you as a job applicant. For some specific processing you may be provided with further, complementary or divergent, information about the specified processing of your personal data.

Einride is the Data Controller

The company responsible for the recruitment of the position that you apply for (“Recruiting Einride Company”) is, as data controller, responsible for the processing of your personal data as described in this Privacy Notice, unless you have been informed otherwise. This means that the Recruiting Einride Company decides the purposes and the means for processing your personal data.

Please feel free to contact the Einride Employee responsible for the specific recruitment if you are unsure about which Einride company is responsible for your recruitment process, or if you have any questions about Our personal data processing, see Our contact details below.

PERSONAL DATA THAT WE PROCESS AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

There are three different sources of personal data about you which is processed by the Einride Group:

1) Personal data that you provide to Us:

  • Name and contact details. First name, last name, phone number, email address, address.
  • Personal information. Such as social security number, nationality, gender, geographic location, age, salary, termination periods.
  • Educational and competence information. For example education, name of school or university, grades and details on profession and professional history, references and recommendations.
  • Other information. The processing may potentially cover additional categories of personal data than described above, depending on what personal data you choose to submit as part of the application process.

2) Personal data deriving from your recruitment process:

  • Performance and personality test. Your results from performance and personality tests, if applicable.
  • Potential claims/preferences. For example salary claims or other benefits.
  • Notes from interviews. Such as your answers to questions asked.
  • Recruiter’s evaluation. Information necessary for the assessment of whether you are qualified and appropriate for the position you apply for.

3) Personal data collected from a third party:

  • Recruitment history. Information from reference persons whose contact details you have provided to Us.
  • Information from social medias relevant for the context of the employment, such as LinkedIn.
  • Background control information. For final candidates in certain roles, we may receive certain background control information by a third party supplier.

In order to be able to process your application and recruit you, Einride needs your personal data. If you do not provide the personal data that we request and such personal data is necessary for the recruitment process or the employment, We cannot offer you the employment/assignment or fulfill Our contract with you.

PURPOSES, LAWFUL BASIS AND RETENTION PERIODS

The purpose, lawful basis and retention period for Our processing of your personal data follows from the summary set out below. Please note that this summary may be updated from time to time. However, We will notify you in the event of any significant changes.

Why We Process Personal Data (the purpose)
Legal Basis for Processing
Retention periods
To organize and effectively manage the recruitment of employees/consultants to Our business.
Our legitimate interest to recruit employees/ consultants and to ensure that the business is operated in an appropriate manner.
Personal data will be stored for this purpose until the end of the recruitment process, unless they must be retained for a longer period due to legal requirements as set out below.
To assess and evaluate whether you are qualified and appropriate for the position you apply for.
Our legitimate interest to recruit employees and to ensure that the business is operated in an appropriate manner or, at the end of the recruitment process, that the processing is necessary for the performance of an employment contract or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into such a contract.
Personal data will be stored for this purpose until the end of the recruitment process, unless they must be retained for a longer period due to legal requirements as set out below.
To be able to contact you in case of future recruitment processes relevant for you (if you consent to such processing)
Your explicit consent.
Personal data will be stored for this purpose for two years.
To conduct background controls for final candidates. For certain roles, we conduct a background control in the final stage of the recruitment process when it is deemed necessary based on the sensitivity of the role.
Our legitimate interest to protect Einride as a company from harm and financial losses caused by negligent hiring.
Background controls are generally stored for 10 working days after being performed.
To defend Einride from potential legal claims.
Einride’s legitimate interest in defending Einride from legal claims.
As job applicants have the right to present legal claims during a period of two years after the end of the recruitment process, such personal data must be stored for up to two years as well in order to defend Einride from such claims.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING BACKGROUND CONTROLS

In the event that we deem the current role to be of a certain nature and that a background control is required, we will notify you before conducting such background control. We will only perform such background control on the final candidate. Einride will only access (and not store) the results from the vendor, 2secure, who will be acting as a separate data controller for the information collected. Einride will only have access to the results for a limited period of time as listed above, and any internal access to the results of the background control is strictly limited and regulated.

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA AND CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS

For the purposes listed above, Einride uses a talent recruiting platform provided by the third party supplier Lever, Inc. (“Lever”), located outside the EU/EES (including United States, see full list of Lever’s subprocessors here), as well as a candidate assessment tool provided by Alva Labs AB (having data processors outside EU/EES, see full list here). Also, as Einride has a global company structure, some personal data may be shared within Our HR team partly located outside the EU/EES. This may entail that your personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, i.e. to a country that does not offer the same level of protection for personal data as within the EU/EES. Your personal data will also be disclosed to authorities, if We are obliged to do so by law.

If and when We share your personal data with such recipients, We always make sure to protect your personal data for example by entering into necessary agreements. In case of cross-border processing We always use appropriate transfer mechanisms with appropriate safeguards in place, such as conclusion of European Commission’s standard contract clauses (Article 46.2 (c) GDPR) (a copy to be found here) or your explicit consent (the first subparagraph of Article 49(1) GDPR).

If you would like to obtain a copy of your personal data or information on where your personal data have been made available, please contact the Group Privacy Manager (see Our contact details below).

SECURITY

We are committed to protect your personal data. We take all appropriate and reasonable legal, technical and organizational security measures to adequately protect the personal data about you that We process. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with the development of available security products and services.
