1.5 On what legal bases do we process your personal data?

We only process your personal data when we have a legal basis to do so in accordance with the GDPR.

Depending on the specific circumstances, the processing of personal data is done on the following legal basis:

  • If we have asked for your consent for the processing of specific personal data, the legal basis for the processing of such personal data is your consent. The consent can always be withdrawn by contacting us via the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy, and, if the consent is withdrawn, the personal data processed on the basis of the consent is deleted, unless it can or must be processed, for example, in order to comply with legal obligations. If you chose to withdraw your consent, this may also mean that we cannot continue the recruitment process with you.
  • The processing is necessary for compliance with local legislation and legal requirements, including any specific rules on the processing of personal data in the employment context.
  • The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests where such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject (you) which require protection of personal data.

We keep your application and any other personal data you have provided to us until the recruitment process has been completed and for a period thereafter for as long as we consider your application relevant to us, but under no circumstances for longer than 6 months, or when there is no longer a legal requirement to process it. We may retain personal data if we have an obligation to do so from applicable law, as long as it operates within GDPR. If we would like to keep your personal data for another 6 months, we will reach out to you to get your renewed consent.

If you become a team member of PEAK Wind, your personal data will be transferred to our internal HR Management system, to meet applicable laws, e.g., employment laws or accounting and booking laws.
