In some cases, Energean needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. For example, it is required to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in the relevant location before employment starts.

Energean has a legitimate interest in processing personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applicants allows us to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate's suitability for employment and decide to whom to offer a job. Energean may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.

Where Energean relies on legitimate interests as a reason for processing data, it has considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of employees or workers and has concluded that they are not.

Where Energean processes other special categories of data, such as information about membership in a trade union, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, health, religion or belief, age, gender or marital status, this is done with the explicit consent of job applicants, which can be withdrawn at any time.

If your application is unsuccessful, Energean will keep your personal data on file for future recruitment rounds and in relation to potential employment opportunities for which you may be suited.
