Remitly EU Job Candidate Privacy Notice
What is the purpose of this document?
Remitly Europe, Ltd (" Remitly", " us" or " we") is a "data controller". This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you. You are being provided a copy of this privacy notice because you are applying for work with us (whether as an employee, worker or contractor). It makes you aware of how and why your personal data will be used, namely for the purposes of the recruitment exercise, and how long it will usually be retained for. It provides you with certain information that must be provided under the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679).
Data protection principles
We will comply with data protection law and principles, which means that your data will be:

We may also collect, store and use the following "special categories" of more sensitive personal information:
How is your personal information collected?
We collect personal information about candidates from the following sources:
How we will use information about you
We will use the personal information we collect about you to:
It is in our legitimate interests to decide whether to appoint you to the Role since it would be beneficial to our business to appoint someone to that Role.
We also need to process your personal information to decide whether to enter into a contract of employment or services with you.
Having received your CV and covering letter, your application form and/or LinkedIn profile together with any results from the test which you took (if applicable) we will then process that information to decide whether you meet the basic requirements to be shortlisted for the Role. If you do, we will decide whether your application is strong enough to invite you for an interview. If we decide to call you for an interview, we will use the information you provide to us at the interview to decide whether to offer you the Role. If we decide to offer you the Role, we will then take up references before confirming your appointment.
If you fail to provide personal information
If you fail to provide information when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require references for this Role and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.
How we use particularly sensitive personal information
We will use your particularly sensitive personal information in the following ways:
Automated decision-making
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.
Data sharing
Why might you share my personal information with third parties?
We will only share your personal information with the following third parties for the purposes of processing your application: the employment agency that we have used as part of recruiting for this Role, our group companies, our software and platforms providers that facilitate our administration of the recruitment process. All our third-party service providers and other entities in the group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
TRANSFERRING PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EEA
We share your personal information within the Remitly Group and to the external third parties (the categories of which are referred to in this notice). This may involve transferring your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer your personal information out of the EEA, we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it. In some instances, your personal information may be transferred to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission. In other instances, we will ensure at least one of the lawful safeguards are implemented, which may include:
Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
Data retention
How long will you use my information for?
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider (amongst other things):
Rights of access, correction, erasure, and restriction
Your rights in connection with personal information
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact privacy@remitly.com in writing.
Please also note that sometimes we may not be able to stop using your personal information when you ask us to (for example, where we need to use it because the law requires us to do so or we need to need to retain the information for regulatory purposes). We will tell you if we are unable to comply with your request, or how your request may impact you, when you contact us.
Data protection officer and Data Protection Supervisory Authorities
We have appointed a data protection officer (" DPO") to oversee compliance with this privacy notice. If you have any questions about this privacy notice or how we handle your personal information, please contact the Remitly DPO via privacy@remitly.com. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Irish Data Protection Commission or your applicable data protection supervisory authority.
