This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to these requirements by detailing how Nordbalance UAB processes personal data, the purposes of such processing, the recipients of the data, the rights of data subjects, and other essentials related to personal data management. In terms of the personal data processing described in this Privacy Policy, Nordbalance UAB acts as the data controller.

Job Candidate Selection and Candidate Database Management
If you have submitted your CV, cover letter, or any other documents to participate in a selection process, we will process the personal data you provided voluntarily, along with additional information listed below, for the purpose of employee selection. We will retain and process your personal data until we either hire a specific candidate and their probation period concludes or decide to terminate the selection process without making a hire. This will occur no longer than six months after we receive your data. If you consent, we may store your CV and other submitted information for one year following the completion of the selection process. This allows us to reach out to you with job offers or invite you to participate in future selection processes. If you have indicated that you prefer not to receive job opportunities from us in the future, we will retain your name, surname, and preference not to receive job offers for a period of three years. We will process your personal data based on your consent to participate in the selection process or to store your information in our candidate database. While providing your personal data is voluntary, please note that if you choose not to provide the requested information, we will be unable to evaluate your candidacy. Please be aware that, in accordance with data protection laws, we may contact your previous employers to request their feedback on your qualifications and professional abilities. However, we will not reach out to your current employer without your explicit consent. We may share your data with third parties who assist us in the selection process or provide related services, such as candidate assessment and internal administration. In these cases, we only share the minimum necessary data to complete the specific task or service. These data processors are required to process your personal information solely according to our instructions and for no other purposes. They must also ensure the security of your data in line with applicable laws and our data processing agreements.
Direct Marketing
If you are a customer of the Company or have given your consent to receive direct marketing materials, we will use your contact information to share updates about our products and services, news, and other promotional content. If you are a customer of the Company, we may send you direct marketing communications based on the rights granted by applicable legislation. You can opt out of this marketing by indicating your preference in the agreement you sign with us or by using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy. Your personal data will be processed for direct marketing purposes for five years from the date of your consent or until the conclusion of your relationship with the Company. You also have the option to withdraw your consent or opt out at any time by reaching out to us using the contact information provided.
Administration of Complaints, Inquiries and Feedback
If you have submitted a complaint, feedback or inquiry to our Company, we will process the personal data you provided voluntarily for administrative purposes. In cases where your complaint involves a potential dispute, possible damage, or the fulfillment of legal obligations, your personal data may be retained for up to 10 years, in accordance with the general statute of limitations. If your data is not related to a dispute or legal obligation, it will be deleted after we respond to your correspondence. The processing of your personal data will be based on your consent. However, in certain situations, a legal requirement may necessitate the extended retention of your complaint.
Communication via e-mail
The processing of your personal data provided through electronic communication is based on your voluntary consent to communicate via e-mail. If you are communicating with employees of companies with which we have or may establish contractual relationships, the processing of your data may also be justified by legitimate interests. Additionally, certain data processing activities, such as tax reporting, may be required to fulfill legal obligations. Beyond facilitating the conclusion and execution of agreements, your data is also processed for internal administration purposes. Your e-mail address, the content of your correspondence, and related data are handled according to the principle of proportionality. Primarily, this information will be accessible to the individual with whom you are communicating directly. However, in some instances, other employees may review and process your correspondence, such as for workplace monitoring, investigating potential violations of laws or internal policies, implementing internal procedures, covering for absent employees, and similar situations.
Conclusion and Performance of Agreements with Individuals
We will retain personal data collected for the purpose of concluding and executing agreements with individuals for a period of 10 years after the end of the contractual relationship. Your personal data will be processed based on the performance of the agreement to which you are a party, as well as to take actions at your request prior to finalizing the agreement. We may request your consent for specific actions and may also need to comply with legal obligations, such as those related to tax regulations. For these purposes, we will process the personal data you provide both before and during the execution of the agreement. If you do not provide the necessary data, we will be unable to finalize and carry out the agreement.
Conclusion and Performance of Agreements with Legal Entities
To facilitate the conclusion and execution of agreements with legal entities, we will retain the personal data of their employees and representatives for 10 years following the end of the contractual relationship. The basis for this processing is our legitimate interest. Without processing the personal data of the representatives, we would be unable to finalize and execute agreements with the legal entities they represent.
