Sensitive Data | Personal Data transferred includes but is not limited to the following special categories of Personal Data:
|
The frequency of the processing and transfer | Continuous basis for the duration of the Agreement. |
Nature of the processing | Processing operations include but are not limited to: 1. Personal Contact data is used to communicate with Candidates and employees during the recruitment process. 2. Screening/Selection data is used to decide on Candidate suitability for jobs which are applied to, or to identify jobs for which Candidates may be more suitable. Screening may be manual or automatic or a combination of both. 3. Evaluation data is used to record assessment of Candidate suitability for jobs that the Candidate is being considered for, including status within the recruitment process. 4. Candidate feedback and application source data is used to improve the recruitment process. 5. Special Requirements data is used to make accommodation in the recruitment process for any needs participants may have. 6. Candidate Contractual Information and Other Contractual Information is used to compile contractual documentation (e.g. job offer and contract) and to record the contract. Candidate data may also be transferred to other systems that are under the control of the data controller, data processor and subcontractors (e.g., payroll systems, reporting tools). 7. On-Boarding Information is used to prepare for new hires starting work including setting up payroll information, benefits, and proof of right to work, including the transfer of information to other systems and subcontractors e.g., payroll systems, background checking agencies. 8. EEO Information is used to monitor the recruitment process to ensure recruitment practices are fair. 9. Data is used as part of aggregate data used by decision analytics, algorithms and reports to provide analysis, insights and predictions to help improve recruitment and drive efficiencies. Aggregated insights, analysis, and learnings are shared completely anonymised. In carrying out the above, the data is processed as follows:
Nature and purposes of the processing for Parsing Services (where used)
In carrying out the above, the data is processed as follows:
In the event where Oleeo hosts the Parsing technology then the following applies:
Where Client wishes Oleeo to send data to third parties which provide additional services to the Client, e.g., HR, payroll integration, assessment provider services. Where AI functionality to match candidates in a talent pool to jobs is used, CV/Applications & Jobs (input) are fed into an algorithm. Skills (output)are extracted from CV/apps & Jobs and are tagged to the CV or Job. A Job's skills tags are fed into a search window, where they are adjusted by a recruiter. These skills are fed into a second algorithm that ranks the set of skills associated with each CV, thus ranking CVs. Where AI functionality to allow a candidate to search for jobs using their CV/Resume is used, CV/Applications & Jobs (input) are fed into an Algorithm. Skills (output)are extracted from CV/apps & Jobs and are tagged to the CV or Job. A candidate’s skills tags are fed into a search window, where they are adjusted by the candidate. These skills are fed into a second algorithm that ranks the set of skills associated with each job, thus ranking jobs. |
The period for which the Personal Data will be retained, or, if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period: | The Client may specify the period of time for which Personal Data may be retained. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, as per the above, Personal Data will be retained for the duration of the Agreement, and the provisions of the “Plan for return and destruction” set out below. |
Plan for return and destruction of the data once the processing is complete | Controller may download data from Processor’s systems and request the return of Personal Data provided outside of the Processor’s systems. Data shall be deleted in accordance with the following: (i) Subject to (ii), Client may in its absolute discretion by written notice to Oleeo require Oleeo to (a) return a complete copy of all Client Personal Data to Client by secure file transfer at Client’s cost; and (b) delete and procure the deletion of all other copies of Client Personal Data processed by Oleeo or any Subprocessor; (ii) Oleeo or any Subprocessor may retain Client Personal Data to the extent required by Applicable Law and only to the extent and for such period as required by that law and always provided that Oleeo shall ensure the confidentiality of all such Client Personal Data and shall ensure that such Client Personal Data is only processed as necessary for the purpose(s) specified in the Applicable Law requiring its storage and for no other purpose. Upon request, the Processor’s system can be configured to auto-anonymise or auto-delete data after a period specified by the Client in the vacancy. (Additional Costs apply). Alternatively, deletion can be achieved by the Client through a manually audited process at a period specified by the Client. Where Parsing is used by the Client and the Parsing technology is hosted by a Subprocessor, the data held by the Subprocessor will be erased within a maximum of 48 hours further to completion of processing. |
For transfers to (Sub-) processors, also specify subject matter, nature and duration of the processing: | The Subprocessor list published in Appendix C of this DPA sets out the Personal Data processed by each or and the services provided by each Subprocessor. |
C. COMPETENT SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

Where the UK GDPR applies, the UK Information Commissioner's Office, (ICO). Where the FADP applies, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, (FDPIC). |
Appendix B
Security Policy
Technical and Organisational Security Measures (Including Technical and Organisational Measures to Ensure the Security of Data)
Below is a description of the technical and organisational measures implemented by Oleeo (including any relevant certifications) to ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, and the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
Where applicable this Appendix B will serve as Annex II to the SCCs.
Measure | Description |
Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of Personal Data | For the purpose of transfer control, an encryption technology is used (e.g. remote access to the Oleeo network via two factor VPN tunnel and full disk encryption). The suitability of an encryption technology is measured against the protective purpose. The Controller’s archived data is encrypted at rest using FIPS 140-2 compliant AES256 bit encryption Data in transit is protected by Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) 1.2 or above ciphers |
Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services | Access to data necessary for the performance of the particular task is ensured within the systems and applications by a corresponding role and authorisation concept. In accordance to the “least privilege” and "need-to-know" principles, each role has only those rights which are necessary for the fulfilment of the task to be performed by the individual person. To maintain data access control, encryption technology is applied to the Personal Data itself where deemed appropriate to protect sensitive data based on risk. |
Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident | The Processor maintains redundancy throughout its IT infrastructure in order to minimize the lack of availability to or loss of data. Backups are maintained daily in accordance with our backup procedures. The Processor maintains a disaster recovery policy and at least once per calendar year practice executing the policy. |
Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing | The Processor conducts multiple internal audits based on various frameworks (CIS, NIST etc.). The Processor obtains an external security and compliance audit once per calendar year. |
Measures for user identification and authorisation | Oleeo offers Single Sign on, Multi-factor Authentication and username and password. Oleeo can also offer IP address restriction. Access to sensitive data is based on need to know, based on least privilege, managed through configuration. Access to each Clients’ environment can be limited to configuration or production environment only or a combination of both. Access will be based on each Clients’ requirements |
Measures for the protection of data during transmission | Data in transit is protected by Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) v1.2 or above or Secure Shell Protocol (SSH). |
Measures for the protection of data during storage | The Controller’s archived data is encrypted at rest using AES256 bit encryption and data in transit is protected by Transport Layer Security (“TLS”). |
Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which Personal Data are processed | Due to their respective security requirements, business premises and facilities are subdivided into different security zones with different access authorisations. Third party data centres are monitored by security personnel and have 24/7 CCTV coverage. Access for employees is only possible with an encoded ID with a photo on it, biometrics and key pin pad entry. All other persons have access only after having registered before (e.g. at the main entrance). Access to special security areas for remote maintenance is additionally protected by a separate access area. The constructional and substantive security standards comply with the security requirements for data centres. |
Measures for ensuring events logging | All requests and request processing are logged therefore it is possible to review retroactively whether and by whom Personal Data was entered, altered or deleted. |
Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration | Oleeo’s base solution includes default configuration that has been through robust Quality Control measures. Oleeo’s Quality Control processes are ISO9001 certified. From the point of implementation onwards, Oleeo ensures client specific system configuration through a process of quality control, managed by Oleeo and/or the Client dependent on whether the Client is managing their own System Configuration. System configuration is pushed from the Configuration environment to the Production environment further to testing by the Client and or Oleeo as appropriate. |
Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management | Employees are instructed to collect, process and use Personal Data only within the framework and for the purposes of their duties (e.g. service provision). At a technical level, multi-client capability includes separation of functions as well as appropriate separation of testing and production systems. The Controller’s Personal Data is stored in a way that logically separates it from other customer data. Data is stored in separate databases and file system directories secured by application access control. Application access control prevents cross-querying more than one individual client system. |
Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products | The Processor is ISO 27001 certified and will continue to maintain these certifications for the term of the Agreement. The technical and organisational measures defined herein are implemented on the basis of the international standard ISO 27001. The Processor shall maintain controls materially as protective as those provided in the ISO 27001. The Processor utilises third party data centres that maintain current ISO 27001 certifications. The Processor will not utilise third party data centres that do not maintain the aforementioned certifications and/or attestations, or other substantially similar or equivalent certifications and/or attestations. Upon the Controller’s written request (no more than once in any 12 month period), the Processor shall provide within a reasonable time, a copy of the most recently completed certification and/or attestation reports (to the extent that to do so does not prejudice the overall security of the Services). Any audit report submitted to the Controller shall be treated as Confidential Information and subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement between the parties The Processor is Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certified and will continue to maintain these certifications for the term of the Agreement. |
Measures for ensuring data minimisation | Oleeo provides manual and/or automated deletion facilities for the controller to manage their deletion requirements in line with their data minimisation policy. |
Measures for ensuring data quality | The Processor does not assess the quality of the data provided by the Controller or Users. The Processor provides reporting tools within our product to help the Controller understand and validate the data that is stored. |
Measures for ensuring limited data retention | Oleeo provides manual and/or automated deletion facilities for the controller to manage their deletion requirements in line with their data minimisation policy. |
Measures for ensuring accountability | The Processor internally reviews its information security policies semi-annually to ensure they are still relevant and are being followed. All employees that handle sensitive data must acknowledge the information security policies. These employees are assessed on information security policies once per year. A disciplinary policy is in place for employees that do not adhere to information security policies. |
Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure | The Services have built-in tools that allow the Controller to export and permanently erase data. |
Measures to be taken by the (Sub-) processor to be able to provide assistance to the Controller (and, for transfers from a Processor to a Sub-processor, to the Data Exporter). | The transfer of Personal Data to a third party (e.g. customers, subcontractors, service providers) is only made if a corresponding contract exists, and only for the specific purposes. If Personal Data is transferred outside the EEA, the Processor provides that an adequate level of data protection exists at the target location or organisation in accordance with the European Union's data protection requirements, e.g. by employing contracts based on the EU SCCs. |
