Privacy Policy

4.1. Registration on the OFTET platform and creation and administration of an account

If you wish to use the OFTET platform, we will ask you to register and create an account. You can do this in several different ways, and the scope of personal data processed for registration purposes on the OFTET platform will depend on which method you choose:

When you register with Google, Facebook or Apple, we will receive your personal data not directly from you, but from Google, Facebook or Apple respectively, depending on which registration method you choose.

For the purpose of creating and administering your account, in addition to registration data, we will also process the following personal data: information about the country you are from, information about the country where you wish to work, information about the preferred type of work, your name, surname, photograph, email address, phone number, links to your social networks, as well as information such as methods of logging into the application, selected language in OFTET, information about OFTET platform notification settings, and data on logins to the OFTET platform.

You are not obliged to provide us with the following personal data: photograph, links to your social networks; however, in such a case you may lose increased visibility and reduce your chances of finding the job you want.

We will process the specified personal data on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) insofar as it relates to receiving your personal data from Google, Facebook or Apple during registration, processing of your photograph and links to social networks, and we will process other data specified in this section on the basis of the contract (Rules for Use of the OFTET Platform) with you (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR).

We will store the data until the account on the OFTET platform is deleted or until consent is withdrawn, whichever occurs first. Please note that you may at any time independently deactivate or permanently delete your account in the Settings section "Account Security" on the OFTET platform. When the account is deactivated, your data will not be deleted or destroyed, but your profile will be hidden from other users of the OFTET platform and you will not receive any notifications from the OFTET platform, nor will you be able to access account information or created video and audio recordings. In this case, you will retain the ability to reactivate the account at any time and restore all its content. If you choose to delete the account, the data will be irreversibly destroyed without the possibility of restoring your data and content stored therein.

Your account will be deleted and the personal data contained therein will be destroyed if you do not use the account for more than one year. Before the one-year period expires, we will inform you about the upcoming deletion of your account and destruction of your personal data so that you can take steps to preserve them (the account and personal data) or exercise your data subject rights.

4.2. Provision of services: enabling job seekers to publish their CV, search for job offers and apply by submitting their CV to potential employers

For this purpose, we will process the following personal data:

We will process the specified personal data on the basis of the contract (Rules for Use of the OFTET Platform) with you (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR), except for your location data, which we will process only if you separately consent to this (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to process location data at any time.

All specified data are necessary for you to publish your CV and conduct a job search, apply for selected job positions; however, providing certain data is not mandatory. You are not obliged to upload an introduction video and audio recording, a personal story video and audio recording, or public video and audio recordings, nor are you obliged to provide us with your location. If you do not provide introduction, personal story or public video and audio recordings, this may reduce your chances of attracting the attention of potential employers and finding the desired job more quickly. When you provide us with your location, this allows us to show job listings on the map available on the OFTET platform that are closest to your location; if you do not provide your location to us, we will not be able to do this.

IMPORTANT! We provide you with the opportunity to freely choose the content of your biography, and you decide at your discretion what information to share. We recommend avoiding sharing information that is particularly sensitive and, in the event of a personal data security breach, would pose an increased risk to you. Do not share information revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health data, sex life or sexual orientation.

We will store your personal data for the period of performance of the contract with you or until account deletion, whichever occurs first. If during the specified period grounds arise to process your personal data for the purpose of defending the Company's rights and interests, on the basis of the Company's legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), your personal data, to the extent related to a specific legal dispute, case, complaint, claim, investigation, etc., would be processed and stored until final decisions are made.

We are obliged to store payment information for 10 years in accordance with the Index of Retention Periods for Internal Administration Documents, approved by Order No. V-100 of the Chief Archivist of Lithuania of 9 March 2011.

Recipients of the profile data you provide (your biography, the content of which you determine yourself; work experience information (positions, name of the organisation where you gained experience, and start and end dates of employment in the organisation); education information (name of the educational institution where education was obtained, specialisation obtained, start and end dates of studies at the institution); uploaded introduction and/or personal story video and audio recordings; public video and audio recordings; your application history (names of organisations to which you applied and how long each of them viewed your video and audio recording) and your saved job listings) are employers registered on the OFTET platform. You decide yourself with which specific employers to share your information when applying for specific job positions, or whether to use the public application option, when your profile data will become available to all employers registered on the OFTET platform.

A recipient of your personal data in this case will also be Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, established and operating in Ireland, providing us with services as an electronic money payment institution. This data recipient will receive your data only if you use paid OFTET platform services. Data related to payment (e.g., name, surname, payment amount, credit card data) are transferred to Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. Stripe Payments Europe Ltd is responsible for their processing in accordance with its privacy policy: https://stripe.com/privacy.
