One of the most common doubts in companies to comply with the GDPR is to answer to CVs or not<\/strong>. Sometimes, companies organize selection processes but, many others, candidates send their CVs without there even being a selection process open, through generic emails that can appear in the different communication channels of the company, such as their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In these already somewhat confusing circumstances, at the end of August, the news<\/a><\/strong> was published in different media that not responding to the sending of a CV<\/strong> informing of the company\u2019s Privacy Policy could be punished by the AEPD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, the AEPD imposed<\/a><\/strong> a fine of \u20ac 2,000 on a company for not responding to the sending of a CV by a candidate via WhatsApp, but as always, it is necessary to understand the circumstances of the case to fully understand what the AEPD establishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer is plain and simple: NO<\/strong>. As long as a prerequisite and essential requirement is fulfilled: to inform of the company\u2019s Privacy Policy<\/strong> in relation to the data collected at the time it is requested<\/span><\/strong>. If you report this fact at the time of data collection (the CV, in this case), under the terms of Art. 13 of the GDPR, you do not have to issue any type of acknowledgment of receipt, as that information has already been provided and the candidate already knows what you will do with his or her data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This case reminds me of how common it is to include the company’s Privacy Policy<\/strong> at the bottom of emails<\/strong>, when this information should be provided when the data is collected and not when you already have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have questions about data protection in relation to your selection processes, please contact us<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p> What are the circumstances of the penalised case?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Should I then answer to CVs that you send me?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you collect a CV in a selection process or are simply sent it, remember that\u2026.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
