The purpose of processing personal data is to fulfill contracts and assignments between Functos Oy and customers who use its services, and to manage recruitment and direct search services.
The collection of personal data is based on a legitimate interest. The business of advertising and direct search companies is based on searching for suitable candidates in the labor market and presenting them to clients, i.e. entities that have an open position to fill and a desire to offer employment to individuals. Recruitment and direct search companies consider that due to their business they have a legitimate interest in the processing of personal data, which is based on a meaningful and appropriate relationship between candidates and companies.
