As MERİT PLASTİK KAUÇUK İNŞAAT SANAYİ VE TİCARET A.Ş., and given the importance we attach to your security, we would like to inform you about Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (“KVKK”), which was enacted to protect fundamental rights and freedoms, first and foremost the privacy of private life, and to protect personal data.
In accordance with our disclosure obligation under Article 10 of the KVKK, the purpose of this notice is to inform you about how your personal data is obtained, the purposes for which it is processed, and the legal grounds for that processing.
Your personal data is processed by our company MERİT PLASTİK KAUÇUK İNŞAAT SANAYİ VE TİCARET A.Ş., acting as Data Controller, within the framework described below and at all times in compliance with Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (the “Law”).
This disclosure notice applies both to personal data the company may obtain from employees in its capacity as employer, and to applications made by volunteers in respect of whom the company does not act as employer.
Purposes for Which Your Personal Data Is Processed
Your personal data is processed for purposes such as:
- carrying out the assessment of applications you submit to the Data Controller and of your suitability for employment,
- creating the records and carrying out the procedures required for your recruitment and onboarding,
- lawfully planning and carrying out operations and activities relating to all visitors entering and leaving the Data Controller’s premises,
- organising, planning, carrying out and auditing activities relating to the corporate security of persons with whom the Data Controller has a business relationship; designing, carrying out and/or developing Human Resources operations and activities; and, where the possibility of employment arises, assessing information as to your military service status,
- being able to make a further offer of employment to persons who have applied to the Data Controller should a suitable position arise, and retaining their CVs together with interview and reference-check notes made during the assessment of their application for that purpose;
- keeping an archival record of job applications made to the Data Controller, observing the principle of data minimisation.
Sharing of Your Personal Data with Third Parties
Your personal data may be transferred, in line with the purposes stated above and to the extent required by those purposes, to business partners, suppliers and other service providers from whom services are procured domestically or abroad, as well as to public institutions and/or private persons authorised by law, within the framework of the personal data processing conditions and purposes set out in Articles 8 and 9 of the Law.
Method of Collection and Legal Grounds
Method of collection;
Your personal data is collected, stored and processed by the Data Controller through various channels and on various legal grounds (the COMPANY website, interviews, job-posting sites, recruitment consultancy firms, human resources agencies, CVs submitted by hand and similar) in physical and/or electronic media, by wholly or partly automated means, or by non-automated means provided that it forms part of a data recording system.
Legal grounds;
The principal legal grounds for the collection of your personal data arise from the assessment of your job application, the establishment of the employment relationship, and the requirements of Labour legislation, Social Security legislation and Tax legislation.
For these purposes your personal data may be processed within the personal data processing conditions set out in Articles 5 and 6 of Law No. 6698: under Art. 5/2/c for the establishment and performance of an employment contract, under Art. 5/2/e for the establishment or exercise of a right, under Art. 5/2/d where your personal data has been made public by you, or under Art. 5/2/f where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of the data controller, provided that it does not harm your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Where none of these or the other legal grounds set out in the Law applies, your personal data will be processed only with your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 5/1 and Art. 6/2.
