I. Personal data protection

Next People respects the user’s privacy.

The protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data is laid down in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR), and in Portuguese Law no. 58/2019 of 8 August, which ensures its implementation in Portugal.

Although you can browse most of this website without providing any personal information, in some cases personal data is needed to provide the service you request, for example to apply for a job or to request a proposal.

That data is processed in accordance with the GDPR and with this policy, which sets out what data we collect, for what purpose, on what legal basis and for how long we keep it.

This website contains links to third-party websites, such as WhatsApp, Facebook and LinkedIn (in the job sharing buttons) and the Portuguese Electronic Complaints Book. As we do not control those websites, we suggest that you read their respective privacy policies.

Next People collects only the personal information strictly necessary for a specific purpose. The information will not be used again for incompatible purposes.

Next People will only disclose information to third parties where this is necessary to achieve the purposes identified in this policy, and only to the categories of recipients indicated here.

Next People will not disclose your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

You may access your data, check that it is accurate and, if necessary, rectify it. As the data concerns you, you have the right to object, on legitimate grounds, to the processing of your personal data, except where it is collected to comply with a legal obligation, where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or where it is used for a purpose for which you have given your unambiguous consent.

Next People keeps data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or for further processing.

Next People and its website for job seekers

Users or candidates are the individuals who use Next People to look for a job or a new professional challenge, or to keep informed about career opportunities.

By sending an application (for a specific job or a speculative one), the candidate acknowledges and accepts these rules of use, as well as the use of the personal and career data they enter in the online form and in the documents they attach (CV, cover letters, diplomas, portfolios, among others).

By submitting their data, the candidate declares that they are over 18 years of age. All information entered in the online form, and any documents and images included, are the candidate’s sole responsibility. They must be true and up to date, and any inaccuracies or falsehoods are entirely the candidate’s responsibility. The candidate is also responsible for ensuring that they hold any copyright and permissions that may be needed to publish certain images and content.

Sending an application, with or without a CV, does not guarantee that an employer will request further information about the candidate, offer them an interview or make them a job offer. This only happens if the candidate is available and meets the employer’s needs.

Any negotiations between employers and candidates are the sole responsibility of the negotiating parties.

Next People does not guarantee any conditions and/or duration of any job obtained through the website.

By using the Next People website, the candidate undertakes to comply with what is described here and with these terms of use.
