2. Recruitment and selection of collaborators for open roles (e.g. content creators, etc.)

3. Recruiting and integrating personnel into the company

These processing activities are based on the following legal grounds:

2. Pursuit of a legitimate interest of the Data Controller - condition of lawfulness under Article 6(f) GDPR - relating to the recruitment and onboarding of new employees in the company, the assessment and selection of applications, the verification of the prerequisites for recruitment and/or the start of a collaboration, or proposing job offers consistent with the data subject’s professional profile.
   

The provision of data marked with an asterisk (*) in the online form for the purposes referred to in the previous section is mandatory. Failure to provide this data and/or explicit refusal to allow their processing will make it impossible for the Data Controller to evaluate and consider the application.


C) Processing of special categories of personal data
With regard to the application, only common personal data will be collected. As such, candidates are not required to provide any “special categories” of personal data as defined by Article 9 of Regulation 2016/679, such as health-related data. Please, therefore, do not include any sensitive data (i.e. data “revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation”).
This shall not apply if such data is necessary due to the nature of the employment relationship, particularly with respect to protected category status or any pre-employment medical evaluations.
In that case, your explicit consent will be requested for the processing of any such special-category personal data for one or more specific purposes.

D) Submission of video content as part of the application
As part of the selection process, the Data Controller may request the candidate to submit a video (e.g. a video introduction or responses to predefined questions) solely for the purpose of evaluating the candidate’s professional profile in relation to the open position.
The video content will only be processed by authorised personnel involved in the selection process, will not be disclosed or communicated to third parties and will only be used for internal application assessment purposes.
The video will be retained for the time strictly necessary to assess the application and, in any case, will be deleted no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the selection process.


E) Categories of recipient of personal data communication
For the purposes set out in the previous paragraph, the personal data provided may be communicated or made accessible to:

1. Employees and collaborators of the Data Controller, in their capacity as persons authorised to process data (or known as “Data Processors”)

2. Third parties performing outsourced activities on behalf of the Data Controller, in their capacity as Data Processors, including:
