The Company will always process your Personal Data for specified purposes and in compliance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness and transparency laid down in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), limiting the processing to only the data that are relevant and necessary in relation to the purposes pursued.

In particular, the Company may carry out screening and assessment of curricula vitae and professional profiles, including by means of the technology platform used to manage applications, in order to verify the consistency of the declared experience, skills and qualifications with the requirements of the position sought, to manage interviews and any selection tests and, if the outcome is positive, to prepare a job offer. Screening serves the selection of candidates and does not involve, unless otherwise stated in a specific notice, decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect the data subject.
2. In the context of the Company’s legitimate interest
   Where appropriate and with respect for your rights and fundamental freedoms, the Company may process your Personal Data in pursuit of its own legitimate interests or those of affiliated companies. Such interests may include, among other things:

   • the verification of the accuracy and consistency of the information provided during the selection process, including by means of proportionate checks;
   • the management of the records and archives relating to the HR function and the sharing of applications with other affiliated companies where the position proves to be more consistent with other entities;
   • the protection and security of the IT systems, the technology infrastructure and the platform used to manage applications;
   • the disclosure of data to potential parties involved in extraordinary transactions (such as mergers, acquisitions or transfers of business units), to the extent strictly necessary for such transactions.

   Where appropriate and with respect for your rights and fundamental freedoms, the Company may process your Personal Data on the basis of its own legitimate interest, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, for further purposes compatible with the selection process, such as protecting the security of the systems and infrastructure used to manage applications, preventing abuse or fraud and, where necessary and proportionate, verifying the accuracy and consistency of the professional information provided by the candidate. Such processing is carried out after an assessment of the balance between the Company’s interest and the rights and freedoms of the data subject.

3. On the basis of your consent
   Should the Company request your consent for specific further purposes, the processing will be carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent is optional and may be withdrawn at any time; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before it.
4. By virtue of legal or regulatory obligations or to protect vital interests
