b. establish an immediate question/answer channel through a real-time chat accessible from every page of the site;
c. post comments on blog articles;
d. collect applications, evaluate CVs, and contact candidates if necessary;
e. send newsletters or commercial and marketing communications;
f. perform general administrative and accounting activities. For the purposes of applying the provisions on personal data protection, processing performed for administrative and accounting purposes is that related to the performance of organizational, administrative, financial, and accounting activities, regardless of the nature of the data processed. Specifically, these purposes include internal organizational activities, those necessary for fulfilling contractual and pre-contractual obligations, and information activities.
4. METHODS OF TREATMENT
Processing will be carried out in paper and/or electronic form, but in any case with suitable measures to ensure maximum security, by specifically trained and appointed individuals. The data collected for the purposes set out in section 3(a,b,c,f) will be retained for the time strictly necessary to fulfill those purposes. Regarding data retention for the purpose of collecting applications as set out in section 3(d), the retention period is 12 months from the date of receipt of the application.

The legal basis for processing personal data for the purposes referred to in Section 3 (a, b, c, f) is Art. 6(1)(b) of the Regulation, as processing is necessary to provide services or to respond to requests from the data subject. Providing personal data for these purposes is optional, but failure to provide it would make it impossible to activate the services provided by the site, respond to requests, or evaluate CVs. With specific reference to the purpose referred to in Section 3 (d) and the related analysis of professional social media profiles made freely available on the Internet referred to in Section 2, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) of the Regulation, i.e. the legitimate interest of Ansho in verifying any risks regarding the candidate’s suitability to fill specific positions.

To send commercial and marketing communications, Ansho uses MailUp, the Independent Data Controller, a proprietary mailing platform.
