These rights may include rights under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and may be based on some GDPR definitions listed below. In this privacy policy, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Data subject is an identified or identifiable natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, based on particular information representing personal data;
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Functionn will be the controller of your Personal Data that is provided, collected and/or processed pursuant to this Privacy Policy, except where otherwise expressly stated below. Should you wish to contact us in relation to data protection, you can find our up to date contact information here.
Also, If you have any reason for complaint in regards to how we handle personal data please contact us via email info@functionn.io. In this Privacy Policy we explain what data we collect from you, why we collect it, how we use it and with whom we might share it. It also explains what rights you as a data subject have and how you can fulfil them. This Privacy Policy applies to any data processing done by us in connection to your use of our services.
In order to provide you with the best possible service we require your consent to collect, use, disclose and store personal or sensitive information. Your privacy is important to us and we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the information you provide remains secure.
Please be aware that by providing personal information e.g. applying for a vacancy or submitting your CV you consent to our privacy policy. If you inform us that we cannot collect, use, disclose and store personal or sensitive information, we cannot assist you in your search for employment. This policy may be updated from time to time for reasons such as operational practices or regulatory changes, so we recommend that you review our Privacy Policy when returning to our website.
When you use the Site, we may ask for certain Personal Data that will assist us to provide you with a service that meets your needs and circumstances. We may also collect Personal Data from you through the registration forms, through interviews, tests, CVs resumes and references, or when you submit your CV through the Site or through a third-party site. The categories of Personal data we may collect include your name and contact information (email, address and phone number). Depending on the nature of your inquiry or activities on the Site, we may also collect information about your job search criteria and preferences, your employment experience, educational history, your expectations, skills, personality, salary, references information, background information, and other information contained in your resume. We may also collect sensitive information (for example information about your membership in a trade union or health information) if required for the recruitment process.
If you do not provide such information, Functionn may not be able to provide you with access to or full use of sections of the Site or with any other services you request. Your Personal Data can be collected in several different ways: It includes:
when you send an application to us via e-mail, online or post.
during the interview at our office or via phone.
when we conduct reference checks.
via conversations – verbal and electronic.
we sometimes collect information from third parties and publicly available sources when it is necessary for a specific purpose such as checking information that you have given us or where you have consented or would reasonably expect us to collect your personal information in this way. Sometimes the technology that is used to support communications between us will also provide us with personal information.
Registration is not required in order to use or access the Site. However, we may make forums, blogs, message boards or registration forms available to our visitors. You may be asked to register for using these features, particularly if you wish to leave comments or publish content. Please note that if you post comments or articles to any forum, blog, message or form board on this site, any personal information you provide in those comments or articles may be read, collated and used by anyone viewing them. As such, we are not responsible for personal information you may choose to make available through these channels.
Our Site contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to us, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties. Except of described above, The Site gathers the type of general information and data when an information subject or computerized system utilizes the site. This general information and data are kept away in the server log files. Gathered information and data might be: (1) the version and types of browsers used, (2) the type of electronic device you use, (3) your unique electronic device ID, (4) the operating system used by the accessing system, (5) software and hardware attributes, (6) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (purported referrers), (7) information about the way you use the website, (8) the sub-sites, (9) the date and time of access to the Internet website, (10) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (11) the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
Also, Functionn gathers data from publicly available sources on the internet (and tools that aggregate that data). For example, we use a tool called ContactOut (www.contactout.com ) to gather email addresses in according with ContactOut Terms of Use and ContactOut Privacy Policy.
We will use your Personal Data only in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you do not wish us to continue using your Personal Data in this manner, you can request that your details to be deleted or redacted by contacting us via email info@functionn.io. We will only process your Personal Data if we have a lawful basis for doing so. Lawful bases for processing include consent, contractual necessity (i.e. processing that is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, e.g. your request to subscribe, apply for a job or assist you in your job search which allows us to provide you with the services) and our “legitimate interests” or the legitimate interest of others (e.g. our users) such as:
personalising, improving or operating our services and business
better understanding your needs and interests
fulfilling requests you make related to the services
providing you with information and offers from us or third parties
complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing our agreements
protecting, investigating and deterring against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized or illegal activity.
If you reside in the European Union (“EU”), United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland, you Personal Data processing may be based on the lawful basis described below. Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders. We process Personal Data for purposes such as:
to process your orders and deliver the services that you have ordered
to provide reports based on information collected from use of our services
to keep you up to date on the latest service announcements, service updates, special offers and other information
to provide support and assistance for our services
to provide the ability to create personal profile areas and view protected content
to provide and administer opt-in contests, sweepstakes or other marketing or promotional activities on the Site or social media websites
to support recruitment inquiries
to personalize marketing communications and website content based on your preferences, such as in response to your request for specific information on services and services that may be of interest
to meet contract or legal obligations
We may also from time to time use your Personal Information to send you automated email messages or marketing materials regarding our services, including employment information. You may opt out of receiving such marketing email messages by unsubscribing from our database.

for the purpose of disclosing information to our clients where necessary and appropriate in connection with the provision of a service to you;
for the purpose of disclosing information to companies and individuals we employ to perform business functions and services on our behalf, on the basis that such companies and individuals must protect your Personal Information and may not disclose or use it for unrelated purposes. Such functions may include, for example, hosting our Web servers, analysing data, providing legal, accounting and marketing services;

necessary to provide you with a product or service which you have requested;

We utilize a combination of industry-standard security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to help protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Functionn will endeavour to take reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you (i.e. when we transfer credit card information over the Internet, we protect it using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology).
