By now you will have received several emails regarding GDPR  asking you to Opt-In, Opt-Out, Read our 100 Page Privacy Policy…  and it’s all a bit overwhelming! We’ve listed some of the most common questions we believe you will have about your data with Multilingualvacancies and hope we have provided some clarity with our answers!

Is Multilingualvacancies.com a Data Controller or Processor?
As a jobboard, we act as a Data Controller, and our clients will also act as Data Controllers once they have captured data so therefore will need to comply with the new data protection laws in this respect.

Under what lawful basis is Multilingualvacancies.com processing data?
With GDPR, companies need to clarify their lawful basis for processing your personal data. As you are using our services to find work the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Multilingualvacancies.com. We only process personal data including your CV details (which you can decide whether you want potential employers to view this or not) and do not request information that would be deemed sensitive personal data.

What control do users have over their data?
Users of Multilingualvacancies.com who have registered their accounts have control over their own data and are able to amend/delete by logging into their account. Users can also view which clients have their data as applications are logged within the user account. You will need to inform the companies directly if you wish your details to be removed for their systems. If you require assistance to delete your own account from multilingualvacancies.com please email support@multilingualvacancies.com. Deletion requests will be completed within 2 working days.

What about companies that use Multilingualvacancies.com?
Only companies who provide work finding services and who have entered into a contract with Multilingualvacancies.com have access to candidate/jobseeker data. We do not pass data onto third parties unless it is needed to assist us with technical support queries which would have been initiated by the user.

What security measures does Multilingualvacancies.com have in place?
Our technology services partner is ISO 27001 certified and aligned with GDPR best practice so your data is secure.

What do I need to do now?
Well firstly we suggest you login to your account and check all your data is up-to-date, check your preferences and ensure you are signed up to emails you want to receive. Job Alerts (JBE’s) are released on a daily basis according to your selection, or you may receive e-shots from our mailing programme where you have matched criteria suitable for our clients. You can select whether you want to receive these or not. You can also close your account if you wish to do so.

Check our updated Privacy Policy  to make sure you are clear on how your data is being handled, and if you have any additional questions email us at support@multilingualvacancies.com so we can advise.

Although GDPR is a major shake up to Data Protection Laws it will make companies more aware of how they are handling your data, and gives you the opportunity to take more control over what data is available to others. Take this as an opportunity to have a clear up, and make sure you are sticking with those companies that are compliant with the new legislation!
