Legal bases for processing
We do not rely on a single legal basis for all processing — the applicable basis depends on the purpose. The form's acknowledgement checkbox is not, by itself, GDPR consent; it confirms that you have read this notice.
Receiving and evaluating your application
Processing is necessary for steps taken at your request prior to a possible contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Retaining an open application for future opportunities
Processing is based on our legitimate interest in matching professionals with suitable future opportunities (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). You may object to this processing at any time.
Responding to and processing workforce requests
Processing is based on our legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries and pursuing potential cooperation (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), since any resulting contract would be with the company, not the individual contact person.
Managing an ongoing business relationship
Once cooperation begins, processing is based on our legitimate interest in managing the relationship and, where applicable, on our legal obligations, for example accounting legislation (Article 6(1)(f) and (c) GDPR).
Preventing abuse
Processing an IP address or hashed email to limit submissions is based on our legitimate interest in protecting our forms from abuse (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Retention periods
Applications and CVs
We retain applicant information and CVs for a maximum of 12 months after submission. During that period we may consider you for suitable current or future industrial work opportunities. We delete the application after this period unless there is another legitimate or legal reason to keep it, for example an employment relationship or another separately applicable obligation.
Workforce requests
If an inquiry does not result in cooperation, we retain it for a maximum of 12 months. If cooperation begins, relevant information may be retained for as long as necessary to manage the business relationship and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Recipients and service providers
We use the following service providers to process form submissions. They act as technical service providers (data processors), not as independent users of your data.
Resend
An email delivery service used to deliver form content — including any CV — to Qualis et Opus's own email inbox.
Google Workspace
Qualis et Opus's email is hosted on Google Workspace. Information submitted through the forms is received into this inbox.
Upstash
A Redis-based service used only to limit the number of submissions and prevent abuse. Upstash receives only an IP address or a hashed email address — never the rest of the form's content.
Transfers of personal data outside the EEA
Some of the technical service providers we use may process personal data outside the EEA. For example, Resend, the provider of our email delivery service, processes and stores email-related data in the United States. This does not mean that every service provider we use, or every piece of data we process, necessarily leaves the EEA — this depends on the specific provider.
Where personal data are transferred outside the EEA, we use appropriate transfer mechanisms where required, such as European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses and/or an applicable adequacy decision. You can request more information about these safeguards by contacting us at info@qualisetopus.com.
Sharing your information
Your application is not automatically shared with prospective client companies through this website. As part of our recruitment work, we may present relevant details from your application to a prospective client company when we are actively considering you for a specific role that matches your profile. This is not a general or automatic disclosure to all client companies.
Your rights
Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding the personal data we process:
Right of access
You can ask whether we process personal data about you, and receive a copy of it.
Right to rectification
You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure
You can ask us to delete your data once there is no longer a basis for processing it.
Right to restriction
In certain situations, you can ask us to restrict the processing of your data.
Right to object
You can object to processing based on our legitimate interest, for example the retention of an open application for future opportunities.
Right to data portability
This right mainly applies to processing based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, so it may not apply to all of our processing.
Right to withdraw consent
Most of our processing is not based on consent, so in most cases there is no consent to withdraw. Where any processing were based on your consent, you could withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.
To exercise your rights or ask a question, contact us at info@qualisetopus.com.
Automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you. All applications and requests are reviewed by our team.
Right to lodge a complaint
If you believe your personal data has not been processed in accordance with data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Finland, this is the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto).
