Your Privacy is Important to Us
At Sonas Technical your right to privacy and our treatment of your personal data is paramount. Since 25 May 2018, Europe’s laws on data protection have undergone fundamental changes as the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) took effect, replacing the European Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC. We commit to following all principles and guidelines outlined by GDPR; the following statement outlines how Sonas Technical manages personal data that it holds about you in accordance with this regulation.
Legislation
The GDPR is designed to protect individuals about whom information is entered and stored on computer and other systems. Accordingly, this legislation lays down strict standards of accuracy, relevance and care of such data including how it may be divulged. We endeavour at all times to comply with Irish and EU data protection legislation in force from time to time.
Application
By visiting this web site, you are accepting the terms of this Privacy Policy. By agreeing to these terms and conditions you give your consent to the collection, use and retention of your personal information for legitimate business purposes as explained in this privacy policy. We collect, use and retain information about you only if we reasonably believe it is justified, required and useful in order to conduct our business effectively and to provide you with information about our services we believe will be of interest to you.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy you should not use this website and/or our services. If you do not give Sonas Technical the personal data it seeks (provided that the data sought is reasonable and relevant to the services being provided to or for you), we may be unable to provide you with recruitment and/or related intermediary services.
Data Collection & Legitimate Business Interests
Sonas Technical collects and uses your personal data for the purpose of recruitment services only. As a specialist registered recruitment provider to the construction and engineering market, we gather and analyse information on individuals within this market in Ireland. We do so as we have a legitimate interest in this field and this is a business necessity to be able to develop the Sonas Technical Business.
When you submit any personal information to us, we will acknowledge your information by contacting you directly with information about next steps and include a link to our privacy policy. We will only collect personal information such as your email address, name, address, telephone number, education and work history or any other information that may be contained within your CV or Career Resume or Social Media or Media presence. We also make a note of relevant interactions with you.
We collect this information so that we may provide you with a reliable and efficient recruitment service in assisting you in your job search and to enable us to contact you accordingly with work opportunities that may be of interest. This may include evaluating your details against suitable job opportunities, storing your data on file for future interactions, sending your information to clients once you confirm you would like to be represented for a role, providing career guidance and support, ongoing interactions, and with your permission engaging with third parties where we or our client require it to deliver requested services such as reference checks, qualifications and psychometric evaluation or skills tests. In the case of the last point you will be notified prior to us completing these, and you have the option to decline.
We reserve the right to assign your data to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or transfer of all the assets of our company in circumstances where the third party agrees to observe the terms of this Privacy Policy. Sonas will notify you of such circumstances and you will be given the opportunity to opt-out.
