This page is for contact persons named in job adverts. It explains why your name may be held in this service and what you can do about it.
This service helps candidates prepare a CV and cover letter for a specific job offer. The candidate pastes the text of your advert into it. If you are named in it as the contact person, your name and job role are stored together with the advert.
We did not obtain the data from you or from a third party. It reached us as part of a text published by your employer, which the candidate pasted in order to prepare their application.
Scope: name and job role as they appeared in the advert. We add nothing about you from other sources, we build no profile about you, and we sell the data to no one.
Legal basis: legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The interest is the candidate's interest in knowing who they are applying to. We carried out the balancing assessment (LIA) in writing and will provide it on request.
Retention: the data is tied to the candidate's application. When the application or the account ceases to exist, your data goes with it.
We do not send you e-mails. The service deliberately offers no „send an e-mail to the recruiter for me“ function — the candidate sends the letter themselves, from their own mailbox and address.
We do not add you to any contact database, we do not place you in marketing, and we do not use your name to approach other people.
The advert text may be processed by a language model of the provider we use for processing. Your name enters it only where it is needed to generate the letter's salutation. Elsewhere, labelled contact and identity values are removed from the outgoing text.
We say this precisely: this is minimisation, not anonymisation. We remove data we can recognise by shape or by label (for example „Contact person:“ or a „Best regards“ sign-off). A name dissolved freely in a sentence we cannot recognise, and we do not claim otherwise.
You have the right to object to the processing (Article 21 GDPR). Under legitimate interest an objection is enough; you do not have to give reasons. If you object, we delete the data.
You also have the right of access (Article 15), rectification (Article 16) and erasure (Article 17). Just write to info@communicatevalues.com.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
We did not inform you individually because we have no contact details for you — we only have what was in the advert. Actively looking up your contact details would be a greater intrusion than storing the name itself. That is why we inform you publicly like this (Article 14(5)(b) GDPR).
