Effective Date:  January 1, 2025

This Data Privacy Policy outlines how MISCO Products (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects the personal data of individuals applying for employment with us. We are committed to handling your information in compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.

1. Purpose of Data Collection

We collect and process your personal data solely for recruitment purposes, including evaluating your qualifications, contacting you regarding your application, conducting interviews and assessments, and, where applicable, performing background checks.

2. Types of Personal Data Collected

We may collect the following categories of personal data during the recruitment process:

· Identification and contact details (e.g., name, address, phone number, email)

· Application materials (e.g., CV, cover letter, work experience, education, skills, certifications)

· Employment preferences (e.g., desired role, work location, salary expectations)

· Information from references and previous employers (where consented)

· Results of assessments or interviews

· Information from publicly available sources (e.g., LinkedIn, professional websites)

· Diversity data (e.g., gender, race, veteran status), only where legally permitted and always optional

· Technical data (e.g., IP address, browser type, access logs) if you use our online recruitment systems

We do not request or process sensitive personal data (such as health information) unless required by law or specifically relevant to the position and with your explicit consent.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in recruiting qualified candidates for our business and to fulfill contractual or legal obligations. Where required, we may seek your explicit consent for specific processing activities, such as retaining your data for future job opportunities.

4. Data Sources

Personal data is collected directly from you during the application process or from:

· Recruitment agencies or search firms

· Publicly available sources (e.g., professional social media)

· References or previous employers (with your consent)

5. Data Use and Automated Processing

Your data is used to:

· Assess your suitability for current and future roles

· Communicate with you throughout the recruitment process

· Conduct interviews, assessments, and background checks (where applicable)

· Maintain records of our hiring activities

Where automated tools are used to screen applications, final hiring decisions are always made by our staff, not solely by automated means.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Your personal data may be shared with:

· Internal HR and relevant hiring managers

· Third-party service providers (e.g., background check vendors, recruitment platforms) acting on our instructions and bound by confidentiality obligations

· Legal or regulatory authorities, where required by law

We do not sell or otherwise disclose your personal data to unrelated third parties.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the recruitment process and to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. If you consent, we may retain your data for future job openings. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Access to your data is restricted to personnel with a legitimate need to know.

9. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

· Access your personal data

· Correct or update inaccurate data

· Request deletion of your data
