The data collected from you is voluntary and is not based on a statutory or contractual obligation to provide the personal data.

Personal data we collect from other sources

We may publish job openings on occupational platforms, and we may also find you based on your availability and profile settings in the same. In the event you apply for an opening at pawaPay through an application function on an occupational platform or similar online service provider (“Partner”), it is important to note that the relevant Partner may retain your personal data and may also collect data from pawaPay in respect of the progress of your application.

We may also receive your personal data from a third party who recommends you, or informs us of your eligibility, as a candidate for a specific opening or for our business more generally.

Tests or personality profile questionnaires, attending an interview – or a combination of these will result in personal data generated by you and us and potentially a third in the event that there is third party involvement. Any use by a Partner of your data will be in accordance with the Partner’s Privacy Notice and subject to the terms and conditions between you and Partner on one hand, and pawaPay and Partner on the other.

We do not use any automated decision making in recruitment. There is a human intermediary in each processing activity even in the event that we use third party recruitment tools with certain automated features.

Consequently, pawaPay may use personal data in relation to the evaluation and selection of applicants as needed in the recruitment process.
