Document background
The Recruitment Privacy Notice is a mandatory document for organizations recruiting in Austria, required under both the EU GDPR (particularly Articles 13 and 14) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG). It must be provided to job applicants at the time their personal data is collected, typically at the start of the application process. The notice explains how the organization processes applicants' personal data, including what data is collected, why it's needed, how it's used, who it's shared with, and how long it's kept. It must address specific Austrian legal requirements while ensuring compliance with broader EU data protection principles. The document should be written in clear, plain language and be easily accessible to all job applicants, whether they apply directly or through recruitment agencies.
