RECRUITMENT
The Controller provides a Recruitment Form on its Website, enabling the User to submit their Data in the form of a CV to participate in the recruitment process.
Submitting a CV signifies participation in the recruitment process and constitutes consent to the processing of special categories of Data and excess Data contained in the recruitment documents provided, including for future recruitment processes conducted by the Controller, if the User has given their consent.
The User’s Personal Data will be processed for the following purposes and on the following legal bases:
- For the purpose of recruitment in connection with employment based on an employment agreement – under the right arising from Article 22(1) §1 of the Act of 26 June 1974 – Labour Code (Journal of Laws of 2023, item 1465), and under Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In connection with the processing of Data other than those specified in Article 22(1) §1 of the Labour Code (i.e. Data provided voluntarily by the User in the CV and application documents), the legal basis is the User’s consent – Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR (in the case of special categories of Data). Data will be processed for the time necessary to take steps prior to entering into an agreement and up to six months after the recruitment process ends;
- For future recruitment purposes – based on the User’s consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Data will be processed for a maximum period of three years (counted from the end of the calendar year in which the Data was obtained);

After the expiry of the processing periods indicated above, Personal Data shall be permanently deleted or anonymised.
The User may withdraw their consent at any time; however, this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to its withdrawal. The User also has the right to object to the processing of Data based on the Controller’s legitimate interests. The Controller will cease to process the Data for these purposes unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds that override the User’s interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the Data is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Data related to the recruitment process will not be transferred to third countries.
The User has the right to access their Data, receive copies of it, and request rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, Data portability, or object to processing. The User also has the right to withdraw consent at any time, which shall not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out based on consent before its withdrawal.
The User has the right to lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office if they believe that the processing of their Personal Data violates the provisions of the GDPR.
Providing Personal Data is voluntary; however, the provision of certain Data may be necessary to achieve the purposes of processing. Failure to provide such Data may result in the inability to carry out the recruitment process or include the User in future recruitment efforts.
The Controller does not profile the User’s Data in the context of recruitment.
HOW IS DATA COLLECTED?
Only Data that the User provides (except, in certain situations, Data collected automatically using cookies and login details, as described below) is collected and processed.
When the User visits the Website, Data relating to the visit itself is collected automatically, e.g., the User’s IP address, domain name, browser type, operating system type, etc. (login data). Automatically collected Data may be used to analyse User behaviour on the Website, collect demographic data about Users, or personalise the content of the Website to improve it. However, this Data is processed solely to administer the Website, ensure efficient hosting services, or direct marketing content, and is not associated with the Data of individual Users. Further information about cookies is provided later in this Policy.
Data may also be collected through forms on the Website, as described later in this Privacy Policy.
Information society services
The Controller does not collect Children’s Data. The User must be at least 16 to independently express consent to the processing of Personal Data for the provision of information society services, including for marketing purposes, or must obtain the consent of a legal guardian (e.g., a parent) for this purpose.
If the User is under 16, they should not use the Website or the www.pro.r3.org.pl Service.
The Controller is entitled to make reasonable efforts to verify whether the User meets the age requirement referred to above or whether the person exercising parental authority or guardianship over the User under the age of 16 has given or approved their consent.
WHAT ARE THE USER’S RIGHTS?
The User shall be entitled at any time to the rights set out in Articles 15-21 of the GDPR, i.e.:
-
- the right to access the content of their Data,
- the right to transfer Data,
- the right to correct or rectify Data,
- the right to delete Data if there are no grounds for processing it,
- the right to restrict processing if it has been carried out incorrectly or without a legal basis,
- the right to object to the processing of Data on the basis of the legitimate interest of the Controller,
- the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority – the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (on the terms specified in the Personal Data Protection Act) if they believe that the processing of their data is inconsistent with the currently applicable provisions of law on data protection,
- the right to be forgotten if further processing is not provided for by the currently applicable law.
The Controller notes that these rights are not absolute and do not apply to all processing activities concerning the User’s Personal Data. This applies, for example, to the right to obtain a copy of the Data, which must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, such as copyright or professional secrecy. For information on the limitations of the User’s rights, please refer to the GDPR.
However, the User always has the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority – the President of the Personal Data Protection Office in Warsaw: Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa, phone: +48 22 531 03 00, e-mail: kancelaria@uodo.gov.pl – if they believe that the processing of Personal Data violates the provisions of the GDPR or other applicable data protection regulations.
To exercise their rights, the User may contact the Controller via e-mail at biuro@pro.r3.org.pl or by post to the Controller’s registered address as specified in this Privacy Policy, indicating the scope of their request. A response shall be provided no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of the request and its justification, unless an extension of this period is justified under the GDPR.
CAN THE USER WITHDRAW THEIR CONSENT?
If the User has given their Consent to a specific action, they may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal will result in the removal of the e-mail address from the Controller’s mailing list and the cessation of the actions carried out on the basis of that Consent (e.g. Newsletter subscription). The User may withdraw their Consent by: clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link in the Newsletter or another clearly designated link, after which the User will be redirected to a page where they will be asked to confirm the withdrawal, or sending a statement of withdrawal to the Controller’s e-mail address or postal address, if provided in this Privacy Policy.
Withdrawal of Consent does not affect the lawfulness of Data processing carried out prior to its withdrawal.
In certain cases, the Data may not be immediately deleted and may be retained to defend against possible claims, in accordance with provisions of the Civil Code, or to fulfil legal obligations imposed on the Controller.
In each case, the Controller will respond to the User’s request, providing an appropriate justification for any further actions that result from legal obligations.
DOES THE CONTROLLER TRANSFER USER DATA TO THIRD COUNTRIES?
User Data may be transferred outside the European Union to third countries.
As the Controller uses external providers of various services (e.g. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited [Facebook and its subsidiaries], Google, Microsoft, etc.), User Data may be transferred to the United States of America (USA) in connection with storage on American servers (in whole or in part).
Google and Meta, based on the European Commission’s implementing decision of 10 July 2023, issued under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, have undergone a certification process under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. They have obtained certificates confirming that they ensure a level of Personal Data protection equivalent to that in the European Union.
User Data will only be transferred to recipients that guarantee the highest level of Data protection and security, including through:
- cooperation with Data processors located in countries for which an adequacy decision has been issued by the European Commission,
- use of standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission,
- use of binding corporate rules approved by the competent supervisory authority, or
- the User’s explicit Consent to transfer their Personal Data.
Detailed information is available in the privacy policies of the relevant service providers, such as:
Google Ireland Limited: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=pl
Meta Platforms Ireland Limited: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation
UAB MailerLite: https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy
Currently, services provided by Google Ireland Limited and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited are primarily delivered by entities based in the European Union. However, Users should always consult the up-to-date privacy policies of these providers to confirm the scope and location of Data processing.
MailerLite may store some Data in the United States or use service providers based there, but the Data is primarily processed within the European Union.
HOW LONG IS USER DATA STORED?
User Data will be stored by the Controller for the duration of the provision of individual services or until the achievement of the purposes indicated in the table above, and specifically:
- For the duration of the service and cooperation, as well as for the limitation period of claims under applicable law — with respect to Data provided by contractors, clients, or Users.
- For the duration of discussions and negotiations preceding the conclusion of an agreement or the performance of a service — with respect to Data provided in a request for quotation.
- For the period required by law, including tax regulations — with respect to Personal Data related to the fulfilment of statutory obligations.
- Until an effective objection is lodged under Article 21 of the GDPR – with respect to Personal Data processed based on the legitimate interest of the Controller, including for direct marketing purposes.
- Until withdrawal of Consent or achievement of the processing purpose or business purpose — with respect to Personal Data processed based on Consent. After withdrawal of Consent, the Data may still be processed for the purpose of defending against possible claims, in accordance with the applicable limitation period or a shorter period communicated to the User.
- Until the Data becomes obsolete or loses its usefulness – with respect to Personal Data processed mainly for analytical and statistical purposes, for the use of cookies, or for the administration of the Controller’s platform.
- For a maximum period of 2 years in the case of Users who have unsubscribed from the Newsletter — for the purpose of defending against possible claims (e.g. information about the date of subscription and unsubscription, number of Newsletters received, actions taken and interactions with received messages), or after 6 months of inactivity by a subscriber (e.g. not opening any messages from the Controller).
The Data storage periods expressed in years are calculated from the end of the calendar year in which the processing activity commenced. This approach streamlines the management and organisation of Data processing.
Detailed Personal Data retention periods for specific processing activities are recorded in the Controller’s register of processing activities.

Other rights of the User are described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
User Data may be transferred to third countries in accordance with Facebook’s terms and conditions.
