1. Introduction
Heart Aerospace AB (together with its affiliates, “Heart”) was established with the mission to create green, accessible, and affordable air travel. We believe personal integrity and privacy are fundamental rights, and fully stand behind the European Union General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and all equivalent local laws wherever we operate. Our affiliate company, Heart Aerospace US LLC, is located in the State of California and may be subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Therefore, we make explicit reference to the CCPA in this notice.
If you apply for a position at Heart, we will need to process your personal data. Therefore, it is essential to us that your data is protected, and that you are informed of your rights and how we process your data. This notice aims to give you an overview of our processing, your rights under the GDPR and the CCPA and how you can exercise them.
Heart Aerospace AB is the controller of your personal data and Jobylon will process the personal data on Heart’s behalf, given that Jobylon provide Heart with their recruitment tool. Jobylon also has a sub-processer, Cluvio GmbH, HRB 173385 B, Germany which provides Cluvio analytics, used to create real-time dashboards and reports to present insights and KPIs to Heart. With regard to onward transfers, the sub processor used by Cluvio is AWS EMEA Sarl (owned by Amazon, Inc.), for their server. However, the data center is located in Frankfurt. Furthermore, Functional Software, Inc., (“Sentry”) provides frontend monitoring. The only personal data that might be processed by Sentry is IP addresses of Heart’s users in case of an error event. Jobylon, however, offers the functionality that gives Heart the possibility to restrict from which IP-addresses the Service can be reached from. This enables Heart to avoid that any of its users would access the Service from an IP-address that could be connected to an individual.
If you have applied for a position at one of Heart Aerospace AB’s affiliates, such as Heart Aerospace US LLC, then this affiliate will also be a processor of your personal data.
2. What is our legal basis?
The GDPR requires us to have a legal basis for collecting and processing your personal data. Heart processes personal data if necessary for the reason which the data was collected and for the duration of our legal basis. After this, we delete your information.
Our legal basis rests chiefly on the following:
Legal Compliance
Heart may process your personal data in order to comply with applicable law. This can for instance be in connection with taxation, labor, or workplace safety laws.
Contractual Obligation
Heart may need to process your personal data to comply with any contracts which we have signed with you. This may include providing notices to a contact person according to an agreement, complying with an employment agreement.
Legitimate Interests
Appropriate processing of personal data is a natural part of conducting business in Heart’s industry. For instance, Heart may process contact information to keep in contact with our customers, CVs from our job applicants, and financial information to provide salaries and benefits to our employees.
Where Heart bases its processing on legitimate interests, we believe our interests are not overridden by your rights under the GDPR or the CCPA. In each case, we endeavor to give correct and current information, so that you are aware of your rights and can exercise them. If you wish to have information on a specific aspect of our data processing, please use the contact details below.
Vital Interests
Heart may need to process your personal data to ensure safety at our facilities and events. This may include information on whether you have undergone sufficient safety awareness training to perform a certain task in our production organization, or if you have health conditions which make you susceptible to significant potential harm in a factory environment.
Consent
In some uncommon circumstances, we may require your consent to process your personal data. This is only done if required by applicable law.
