What rights natural persons have in relation to personal data processing in the sense of privacy policy upon staff recruitment

Yettel takes action further to a request from a natural person to exercise a right under this section only if Yettel can identify the respective person. Only a person who can be identified by Yettel may exercise his/her rights under this section.

If the purposes for which Yettel processes personal data do not require or do not require anymore the identification of a natural person Yettel is not obliged to maintain, acquire or process additional information in order to identify the person for the only purpose of taking actions based on a request from that person.

Yettel notifies natural persons of the actions taken within one month following the receipt of a request under this section as in certain cases this period may be extended by not more than two months.

Yettel provides natural persons with information concerning the actions taken in relation to their requests to exercise rights under this section without unnecessary delay and in any cases within one month after the receipt of the request. If necessary this period may be extended by two more months by taking into consideration the complexity and number of requests. Yettel informs the relevant person of any such extension within one month after the receipt of the request by also stating the reasons for delay.

In case of refusal to carry out a request Yettel notifies the respective natural persons of their rights.
