Privacy policy StartupJobs.com s.r.o.

1. This Privacy Policy is issued by StartupJobs.com s.r.o., Company ID No.: 291 53 786, with its registered office at Šostakovičovo náměstí 1515/5, Stodůlky, 155 00 Prague 5, registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague, Section C, File 204709 (hereinafter referred to as “StartupJobs”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
2. This Policy sets out the principles for processing personal data of all users of the website www.startupjobs.cz and its English-language version www.startupjobs.com. By using our websites, you agree to comply with this Privacy Policy and warrant that any personal data you provide to us is accurate and that you are authorized to provide such personal data.
3. We always process personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In doing so, we follow the key principles set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”), Act No. 110/2019 Coll. on the processing of personal data, Act No. 111/2019 Coll. amending certain laws in connection with the adoption of the Personal Data Processing Act, Act No. 480/2004 Coll. on certain information society services, and other applicable data protection laws.
4. StartupJobs acts both as a data controller and a data processor. We act as the controller when it comes to personal data you submit while creating and managing your profile. In other cases, for instance when you submit personal data to a third party via StartupJobs (e.g. in response to a job advertisement), you become the controller. StartupJobs then acts as the processor, collecting and processing such data on behalf of the Customer.
5. StartupJobs prioritizes the security of your data. All personal data is handled in full compliance with applicable laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We place strong emphasis on technical and organizational measures to protect personal data throughout processing.
6. All personal data in electronic form is stored in databases and systems accessible only to those persons who need access for the purposes set out in this Policy, and only to the extent necessary. The security of the data is regularly tested by StartupJobs and continually improved.
7. StartupJobs' Personal Data Protection Officer is Tereza Müllerová, support@startupjobs.com, +420 725 875 752.

1. StartupJobs always uses personal data solely for the purposes for which it was collected. Where StartupJobs acts as a data processor on behalf of advertising Customers, it may not expand the purpose for which the data was provided (i.e., responding to a job offer). This does not apply where you have given your consent to further processing, or where StartupJobs is required to do so by law.
2. We collect, process, and protect different categories of personal data depending on your relationship to StartupJobs:

User

You are a User if you register on our platform. A user profile is then created and personal data is collected. For the purpose of profile creation, we act as the data controller. The legal basis for processing personal data (except for platform activity) is performance of a contract. For tracking User activity on the platform, the legal basis is consent. If you respond to a Customer’s (Employer’s) job offer by submitting personal data in a form, the Customer becomes the data controller and we act as the processor.

* Applies also to unregistered visitors who consent to tracking their activity on the platform.

Job Applicant

You are a Job Applicant if you apply for a specific job advertisement. In this case, we transfer your personal data to the Customer whose job ad you are responding to. The legal basis for processing personal data of Job Applicants is a performance of a contract.

Customer (Company)

You are a Customer if you register your company on our platform. A company profile is then created, and you become, among other things, the data controller of the personal data we process on your behalf. The legal basis for processing the Customer’s personal data is a performance of a contract. The data subject is the natural person to whom the personal data relates. A legal entity is not considered a data subject. Data pertaining to legal entities is therefore not considered personal data.

1. By clicking the ["I Agree"] button during registration or by clicking the ["I Agree"] button when subscribing to our newsletters or other marketing communications, surveys, etc., or by adjusting the relevant notification settings in your user profile, you consent to our use of your electronic contact details. These may be derived from your current or previous use of our services. You also consent to allowing selected third parties to use this information in order to contact you electronically (e.g., via email) with marketing information.
2. You may unsubscribe from receiving any commercial communications at any time by:
   • clicking the unsubscribe link provided in the footer of each commercial message;
   • updating the settings in your user profile; or
   • contacting us using the contact details provided in this Policy.
3. If you wish to withdraw your consent for other types of processing, such as data processing for advertising targeting and the improvement of StartupJobs' services (including testing and surveys), you may do so by sending a request to support@startupjobs.com, or by using the relevant settings in your user profile, if available.
4. Consent to the publication of personal data in testimonials on our website may be withdrawn at any time by contacting us using the details provided in this Policy.

1. We retain and process personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and only to the extent required to meet our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our rights, and protect our interests. Specifically:
2. Contact person data for Customers is processed for the duration of the business relationship, or until the Customer updates the data.
3. Data collected in response to job advertisements and for subsequent recruitment processes is retained until the relevant position is filled. This period may exceed the validity of the Customer's job ad published on the website. If you give your consent, your data may be stored in the Customer's database for up to 5 years for the purpose of contacting you in case of a similar job opening.
4. Commercial communications are sent only until you withdraw your consent or unsubscribe.
5. Data processed for marketing purposes, including the sending of commercial messages, advertising targeting, and optimization of StartupJobs' offerings, is retained for the duration of your consent. In the case of cookies, data is retained as long as cookie storage is permitted in your browser or site settings, and in accordance with the expiry period of each cookie type. Processing may continue after consent is withdrawn, but no longer than the expiration of the relevant cookie. Cookie-specific retention periods can be found here.
6. The retention period for personal data published in testimonials is agreed individually. Based on your consent, StartupJobs will cease processing such data upon withdrawal.
7. We will take all reasonably necessary steps to ensure that your data is handled securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and that no personal data will be transferred to any organization or country unless adequate safeguards for the protection of personal data are in place.
