The applicant also authorizes Randstad to obtain references from former employers and other reference providers or have them obtained by authorized third parties.

4. Type of data processing

Randstad collects and stores the data itself. Your data will not be sold or made available to other unauthorized third parties. In addition, Randstad will only forward the data within the Randstad Group and to customers.

Third parties commissioned by us who perform certain tasks for us according to our instructions, who may have access to personal data as commissioned data processors. Examples include IT service providers who handle hosting, database management, website management, maintenance services, web analytics, inbound queries and data analytics. We require third parties providing such services to us to implement and maintain security measures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the data you entrust to us and that they collect, process and use the personal data only in accordance with our instructions and as contractually agreed.

Within the scope of the permitted data processing or transfer to third parties in accordance with these Terms of Use, the applicant also consents to their data being transferred abroad. Randstad takes all necessary and reasonable measures to protect the data.

5. Disclosure to third parties

In order to offer our personnel services, it may be necessary to disclose your personal data to third parties. This may require a transfer to the following third parties:

• Customers of Randstad. Your personal data will initially only be disclosed anonymously. If we subsequently transfer the data in a non-anonymous form (e.g. to arrange a job interview), we will inform you beforehand about the customer receiving your data.
• Companies who process data for Randstad. These include, for example, our back office system, BI-Tool, etc. Randstad's service providers (commissioned data processors) have been contractually bound by Randstad to keep the data confidential and comply with data protection laws.

Some companies which Randstad shares personal data with are not located in Switzerland or a member state of the EU and do not therefore have the same level of protection standardized within the EU. Randstad has taken worldwide precautions to ensure that companies not based in the EU and who process your personal data provide adequate protection for this data processing.

Your data is transferred exclusively on the basis of the applicable data protection regulations, in particular within the context of the business transaction or on the basis of your prior consent. Data transfers to government institutions and authorities entitled to receive information only take place within the scope of the statutory information obligations or if Randstad is legally obliged to provide information by a court decision.

If the user has registered for Randstad's information services, their e-mail address and other personal data such as age, region, etc. will be used for the company's own advertising purposes (sending up-to-date information, newsletters, job vacancies, and so on) until the user ends their information services subscription. Randstad can use automated analysis tools to evaluate information about the usage behavior in the newsletters. This evaluation is used to deliver tailor-made content.
