Our reasons for using information about you
European data protection laws say that we can only process your personal data if we have an appropriate lawful basis for this. At least one of the following must apply: contractual obligations, legal requirements, legitimate interests, public interest, vital individual interest, or consent. Here we will explain which lawful basis we have relied on to process data about you.
The main lawful basis we would rely on when processing your personal data is the legitimate interests. This is because we have a reasonable expectation that you would want to hear back from us once you have reached out to Salv. Although this type of data processing does not require consent being asked from you, you are still eligible to the rights listed below (“Your rights under the GDPR”).

How long do we keep your information
Data which data processing activities are covered by the applicable law, will be stored as long as required in the applicable law (e.g. the law in Estonia mandates that we are supposed to retain data on job applicants for a period of 12 months). Other personal data will be kept until the moment we are not able to identify a proper lawful basis to further process the data or whenever you have asked us to stop processing your personal data.
