Where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, we may also collect information related to your health, diversity information or details of any criminal convictions.

If you are a temporary worker, we collect your personal data either:

7. Who do we share your data with?

7.1. We do not sell or rent your data to persons or companies that are not part of the mateco group.

We do not share your personal data with third parties, unless at least one of the following conditions is met:

  • we have received your prior consent for this

We register these agreements with each processor in a so-called Data Processing Agreement.

Some of these processors may be located outside the EU. If this is the case, we will ensure that we have made additional agreements with these parties, so that an adequate level of protection is guaranteed.
