We Select's data protection responsibilities
The information in this Policy covers the Processing of Personal Data for which We Select is the Controller, i.e. the Processing for which we determine the purpose (why a processing is done) and means (in what way, what personal data, for how long, etc.). The Policy does not describe how we process Personal Data in our role as a Data Processor - that is, when we process Personal Data on behalf of our customers.
VI provides an advertising and platform service to attract talent and manage candidates for recruitment. We therefore need to process your personal data in order to handle your application. We may also use your personal data for marketing purposes through recruitment advertising.
We Select's processing of personal data
We have a responsibility to describe and demonstrate how we meet the requirements placed on us when processing your Personal Data. This section aims to give you an understanding of the types of Personal Data we process about you and for what purposes.
Recorded and storage time
- Users of the Service:Â Users' personal data will be stored for the duration of their use of the Service and for the performance of legal obligations such as dealing with alleged errors in the Service.
Cookies
Personal data of visitors to our website will be processed in accordance with our cookie policy.
We Select uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to, among other things, analyse how Features are used so that we can provide you with the very best user experience. For more information on how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
Processing and purposes
The main purpose of the personal data processing we carry out is to provide, perform and improve our services to you. There are several reasons why we may need to collect, process and store your data.
We mainly process personal data for the following purposes:
- Contact and identification details to confirm your identity, verify your details and communicate with you
- Information about your use of the service or product in order to improve your customer experience
- Contact details for marketing recruitment ads
How do we access your personal data?
We collect your personal data in a number of ways. We primarily access your personal data:
- By providing us with your personal data yourself
Legal grounds
In order for us to process your personal data, we must have a legal basis for the respective processing. In our operations, we process your personal data mainly on the following grounds:
Contracts - The processing is necessary for us to perform obligations under a contract between us or to prepare to enter into a contract with the Data Subject.
Balancing of interests - We Select may process personal data if we consider that there is a legitimate interest that outweighs the protection of the privacy of the Data Subject and if the Processing is necessary for the purpose in question, e.g. in direct marketing.
If you would like further information about the legal basis(s) on which we process your personal data, you always have the right to request a so-called register extract. Read more under "How to use your rights" below.
Your rights
You are the controller of your Personal Data. We always strive to ensure that you can exercise your rights as effectively and smoothly as possible.
Access - You always have the right to obtain information about the Personal Data processing operations that concern you in a so-called register extract. The register extract shows, among other things, which of your personal data we have stored and for what purposes and on what legal basis. We only disclose data if we have been able to ensure that it is actually you who is asking for the data.
Rectification - If you discover that the Personal Data we are processing about you is incorrect, please contact us and we will fix it!
Erasure - Do you want us to forget you completely? You have the right to request erasure of your Personal Data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. If we are required to keep your data by law or a contract we have entered into with you, we will ensure that it is only processed for the specific purpose set out in the law or contract. We will then ensure that the data is deleted as soon as possible.
Objection - Do you disagree with us that our interest in processing your Personal Data outweighs your interest in privacy protection? Don't worry - if so, we'll review our balance of interests and make sure it still holds. We will, of course, take your objection into account when we reassess to evaluate whether we can still justify our Processing of your Personal Data. If you object to direct marketing, we will remove your Personal Data immediately without reviewing our assessment.
Restriction - You can also ask us to restrict our processing of your data:
- While we are processing a request from you for any of your other rights.
- If, instead of requesting erasure, you would like us to indicate that the data will not be processed for a particular purpose. For example, if you do not want us to send you advertising in the future, we still need to keep your name to know that we will not contact you.
- Where we no longer need the data for the purpose for which it was collected, provided you do not have an interest in us retaining the data to pursue a legal claim.
Data portability - We may provide you with the data you have provided to us or that we have received from you in connection with entering into a contract with you. You will receive your data in a commonly used and machine-readable format that you can then take with you to another Data Controller.
Withdraw consent - If you have consented to one or more specific processing operations of your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and thereby ask us to cease the Processing immediately. Please note that you can only withdraw your consent for future Processing(s) of Personal Data and not for any Processing that has already taken place.

We may also need to disclose your Personal Data to certain designated authorities in order to comply with legal obligations or governmental orders.

Below are the categories of recipients with whom we may share your data.
