Privacy policy

Your professional information deserves care.

Updated 20 October 2026 · Applies to the Careerland consulting and staffing website and its enquiry service.

Who is responsible?

Careerland AB is the controller of the personal data described here. Organisation no. 559498-2059. Registered office: Karlskrona, Sweden.

What we collect

We receive the details you submit: name, email, company or professional skills, location, sector, role, assignment preferences, message and, for candidates who choose to upload one, a PDF CV. We also record the submission time, reference, privacy-notice version, any optional future-opportunities consent, and relevant staff follow-up notes.

Our hosting service processes technical request information such as IP addresses and server logs. The application uses a security session and hashed rate-limit identifiers to help prevent misuse. Please do not send personal identity numbers, identity documents, health information, criminal-record information or other sensitive information through this form. Avoid including other people's contact details without a proper reason.

Why we use it and our legal basis

• Company enquiries: to respond, understand requirements and discuss a proposal. Our basis is our legitimate interest in communicating with prospective business customers and their contacts. If you personally request steps towards a contract to which you would be a party, those necessary steps may instead be based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
• Candidate introductions and current matching: to respond to your introduction, discuss your requested roles and assess relevant current opportunities. Our basis is our legitimate interest in providing recruitment and staffing services, balanced against your rights and reasonable expectations. You can ask for information about this balancing assessment and object to this processing.
• Future opportunities: only if you select the separate optional checkbox, we may keep your introduction and CV to contact you about later opportunities for up to 180 days from submission. This additional purpose is based on your consent. You can withdraw it at any time by emailing us, without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing or your current enquiry. Leaving the box unticked does not prevent submission or consideration for current opportunities.
• Security: to protect submissions, staff access and the service against misuse, based on our legitimate interest in running a secure website.

We collect only information needed for these purposes. We do not sell candidate details or use this form to subscribe you to marketing. The website does not make automated hiring decisions or rank candidates automatically.

Who can receive your information?

Access is restricted to authorised Careerland staff. Simply.com A/S provides website hosting, database storage and outgoing email infrastructure as a service provider. Notification emails contain an enquiry reference and an administration link, rather than your submitted details or CV.

If a potential assignment requires presenting your profile to a client, we will discuss the client, purpose and relevant information with you before sharing it. Clients receiving profiles may be independently responsible for their own recruitment processing. This website does not automatically send CVs to clients. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Location and international transfers

Simply.com states that its hosting servers and data are located in Denmark. The enquiry application does not automatically transfer your CV or enquiry to a client outside the EEA. Hosting-provider subprocessors may also be involved; see Simply.com's compliance information. Where an international transfer is needed, applicable GDPR transfer requirements, including an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, must be met. Contact us for information about recipients, locations and safeguards relevant to your enquiry.

How long we keep information

Website enquiries, staff notes and attached CVs are scheduled for deletion after 180 days from submission, with daily cleanup normally removing expired records within 24 hours. We delete earlier when the information is no longer needed, or following a valid deletion request. Closing a matter or withdrawing future-opportunities consent should prompt a review of any remaining need; consent withdrawal does not authorise keeping data for that additional purpose.

This period is Careerland's website retention policy, not a universal legal retention period. If an enquiry leads to employment or a service contract, necessary records may be kept separately for the applicable contractual, employment, accounting or legal purposes, with relevant information provided for that processing. Hosting backup copies can remain until the provider's backup cycle expires; deleted records must not be reintroduced into active use following restoration. Ask us about the backup arrangements applicable to your information.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances and legal basis, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. You may withdraw consent where we rely on it. These rights are not absolute. Email info@careerland.se; please include your enquiry reference if available. We may request proportionate information to verify your identity. We normally respond within one month; if a lawful extension is needed, we will explain it within that month.

You can complain to Sweden's supervisory authority, Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY), or another competent EU/EEA supervisory authority.
