The service for handling recruitments and simplifying the hiring process (the "Service") is powered by Teamtailor on behalf of NZME Careers ("Controller" “we” “us” etc.). It is important that the persons using the Service ("Users”) feel safe with, and are informed about, how we handle User's personal information in the recruitment process. We strive to maintain the highest possible standard regarding the protection of personal information. We process, manage, use, and protect User's Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy").

In some cases, existing employees can make recommendations about potential applicants. Such employees will add personal information about such potential applicants. In the cases where this is made, the potential applicant is considered a User in the context of this Privacy Policy and will be informed about the processing.
The types of personal information collected and processed
The categories of personal information that can be collected through the Service can be used to identify natural persons from names, e-mails, pictures and videos, information from Facebook and LinkedIn-accounts, answers to questions asked through the recruiting, titles, education and other information that the User or others have provided through the Service. Only information that is relevant for the recruitment process is collected and processed.
Purpose and lawfulness of processing
The purpose of the collecting and processing of personal information is to manage recruiting. The lawfulness of the processing of personal information is our legitimate interest to simplify and facilitate recruitment.
Personal information that is processed with the purpose of aggregated analysis or market research is always made unidentifiable. Such personal information cannot be used to identify a certain User. Thus, such information is not considered personal information.
