In the event you do not wish to provide certain data required for the process of employment and the performance of the employment agreement, it is possible for the Coface Group and its affiliates to be unable, in certain circumstances, to meet their legal obligations and you will be informed of the consequences of such decision.

Moreover, the Coface Group and its affiliates also process your personal data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of GDPR in order to protect the legitimate interests of the Coface Group and its affiliates or of third parties. This may be necessary notably in order: i) to ensure IT security and IT operations; ii) to assess professional competency and probity in compliance with the legal provisions specific to the insurance industry or iii) to ensure a high level of professional training and propose personal development programs. Whenever special personal data categories are required (e.g. data concerning your health or information on criminal convictions), the Coface Group and its affiliates process such data in accordance with the legal provisions expressly authorising the Company to process such data. The personal data processing for marketing purposes, if any, shall be strictly subject to your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of GDPR.
 
TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA WE PROCESS
During the process of recruitment, actual employment and/or management of human resources, the scope of personal data may include the following types of information:
  • personal data enabling the identification of the applicant/employee: surname, first name, gender, date of birth;
  • information submitted by the applicant in order to enable the conduct of specific initial tests: address, telephone, fax, e-mail address;
  • information enabling to verify the conditions of eligibility and selection related to the recruiting process, namely: nationality, foreign languages, professional experience;
  • where applicable, results to the initial specific tests and other related tests.
All these references outline a person’s identity and are usually contained in the CV, from the very moment when the data subject applies for a job. The policy of Coface Group and its affiliates requires that only the personal data that is necessary for the agreed purposes should be collected and we request our employees to provide us with personal data only if it is strictly necessary for such purposes. When we need to process the personal data for the performance of employment agreement or for legitimate interests of the Company, we may request our employees to also provide information on other data subjects, such as family members. The Coface Group and its affiliates may process several personal data categories, varying depending on your position within the company (surname, first name, personal telephone number, e-mail address, domicile/residence address, national identification number, date and place of birth, nationality, marital status information, data set forth in your driving licence, series and number of the identity card/passport, surname and first name and national identification number of your family members (including minors), bank details and other financial details, data regarding your health, data concerning criminal convictions or financial penalties, geolocation data, data regarding your professional training and experience). The type of information we collect includes the application form and the references provided by you, your employment agreement and any amendments thereto; the correspondence with or about you, e.g. letters on salary increase or, upon your request, certificates on obtained income, your capacity as an employee, the number of sick leave days; information required for salaries, benefits and reimbursement of expenses; contact information and emergency contact details; recorded requests for annual leave, sick leave, unpaid leave; and references on your career history, such as professional training, periodic evaluations, other methods of performance monitoring and disciplinary investigations and resolution of complaints filed by you or concerning you, as the case may be. Some of your contact information (surname, first name, e-mail address, telephone) shall be certainly referred to in many of the company’s documents or communications. Such communications are drawn up by you or other co-workers as part of the duties and activities of the Company. Where necessary, the Company is required to keep information on your health, such as the documentation concerning the absences for medical reasons. Such information shall be used in order to ensure compliance with the legal provisions on health, safety and protection at the workplace. Moreover, the Company needs such data in order to administer and manage the payment of social contributions (without being limited to health insurance contribution, social security, and unemployment), non-salary benefits (subscription with a medical clinic – for both the employee and the next of kin), professional training and personal development programs. In order to meet certain legal obligations, where the Company processes data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time. Moreover, the Company may monitor how the computers are made used of, and the professional e-mail addresses. Likewise, in order to keep track of employees’ worked hours, the Company uses, at its Main Office, badges (access cards) and in/out reports in accordance with the card readers. In its territorial offices, in order to keep track of employees’ worked hours, the Company has in place in each territorial office hardcopy time sheets. Additional information on the management of working hours may be accessed via Company’s intranet at www.coface.ro. If in the future we intend to process your personal data for other purposes than the ones it was collected for, we shall provide you with information on the new purposes as well as all further relevant information.
