When applicable, in order to ensure the protection of your personal data we will conclude appropriate Data Processing Agreements with all recipients of your personal data.

2022 10 31 storage period

If you give us the consent to process your personal data originating from your SF account – the maximum period we will process your personal data in this case is 2 years, counting from the “period of inactivity” of your account and not from the moment of providing consent. It is a fixed duration until anonymization of your personal data.

It is a fixed duration until anonymization of your personal data.

If you don't provide us with the consent to process your personal data, your personal data will be anonymized.

9. Personal Data Security

We take reasonable physical, administrative, procedural, and technical measures to protect personal data under our control from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Msg global applies the best industry standards regarding data protection. Unfortunately, no security measures can be guaranteed to be 100-percent effective. However, msg global shall ensure that personal data is stored securely using modern software that is kept-up to date. 

Access to personal data is limited to personnel who need access and appropriate security measures are in place to avoid unauthorized sharing of information. When personal data is deleted, this is done safely and in such way that the anonymisation is irrecoverable. Appropriate back-up and disaster recovery solutions are in place.

msg global continually takes appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in accordance with the GDPR and other relevant data protection laws.

10. Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide Personal Data

Submission of your personal data in the form of an application or other document is a necessary condition for us to consider you for vacancies in our company.

However, if you do not provide us with the necessary personal data, it would greatly impact our decision-making process and unable us to complete the selection process for the position you are applying for.
