Special Provision for Spain:

Please note that if you apply for a job located in Spain, we will process your Personal Data based on your consent (Art.6 para.1 lit.a GDPR).

All other Cases:

In all other cases, the following shall apply:

We process the Personal Data of Candidates for the purposes of the employment relationship, in particular for the decision on the establishment of the employment relationship (Art.6 para.1 lit.b GDPR). It is also in Huawei’s legitimate interests (Art.6 para.1 lit.f GDPR) to process the Personal Data in order to ensure that the best suited Candidate with the required skills, qualifications and experience is offered employment and to fulfill precontractual obligations.

In order to verify the work history of the Candidate and assess their suitability for employment, we conduct referencing and, in particular cases, other background checks (Art.6 para.1 lit.b and f GDPR). In some cases, we may ask the Candidate’s consent (Art.6 para.1 lit.a GDPR) before conducting such background checks; however, we reserve to rely on additional legal grounds for the processing within the context of such background checks even if the Candidate refuses or revokes their consent. The information is collected directly from the Candidate and from third parties such as former employers. We use a third party supplier who provides us with the outcome of the Background Checks (not the underlying data they have collected in the course of the checks). The outcome report is strictly limited to those individuals within Huawei who are involved in the recruitment and selection process and other individuals specified in our Background Checks Policy.

Where we process Personal Data for the purpose of complying with legal or statutory requirements, this is based on Art.6 para.1 lit.c GDPR.

The processing for scientific research and statistical purposes is based on Art.89 GDPR in connection with the specific safeguards and derogations in accordance with the GDPR.

The maintaining of a talent pool in order to contact potential Candidates with regard to future job openings even if an actual application was unsuccessful will be based on the Candidate’s consent (Art.6 para.1 lit.a GDPR).

If you apply through our website, we may at times place a small piece of data known as a cookie on your computer or mobile device to ensure our website works correctly. Such processing shall be based on our legitimate interest to provide you with a functioning website (Art.6 para.1 lit.f GDPR). A cookie is a text file stored by a web server on a computer or mobile device. The content of a cookie can be retrieved or read only by the server that creates the cookie. The text in a cookie often consists of identifiers, site names, and some numbers and characters. Cookies are unique to the browsers or mobile applications you use, and enable websites to store data such as your preferences or items in your shopping cart.

Like many other websites or Internet service providers, Huawei uses cookies to improve user experience. Session cookies are deleted after each visit, while persistent cookies remain in place across multiple visits. Cookies allow websites to remember your settings such as language, font size on your computer or mobile device, or other browser preferences. This means that a user does not need to reset preferences for every visit. On the contrary, if cookies are not used, websites will treat you as a new visitor every time you load a web page. For example, if you are redirected to another web page from a website you are already logged in to and then return to the original website, it will not recognize you and you must log in again.

Huawei will not use cookies for any purposes not stated in this Policy. You can manage or delete cookies based on your own preferences. For details, visit AboutCookies.org. You can clear all the cookies stored on your computer, and most web browsers provide the option of blocking cookies. However, by doing so, you have to change the user settings every time you visit our website. Find out how to manage cookie settings for your browser here:

Internet Explorer
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Safari
Opera

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies on our websites such as web beacons and pixel tags. For example, when you receive an email from Huawei, it may contain a click-through URL that links to a Huawei web page. If you click the link, Huawei will track your visit to help us learn about your preferences for products and services and improve our customer service. A web beacon is a transparent graphic image embedded in a website or in an email. We use pixel tags in emails to find out whether an email has been opened. You can unsubscribe from the Huawei mailing list at any time if you do not want to be tracked in this manner.

Many web browsers have a Do Not Track feature, which issues Do Not Track requests to websites. Currently, the main Internet standards organization has no policy to govern how websites should respond to such requests. However, all Huawei websites do respect the Do Not Track option if it is enabled in your browser.

5.1 Huawei is a world-wide group of companies, which operates not necessarily along the borders of legal entities and countries, but according to functions which may exist across various group companies and countries. Like most global organisations, Huawei has centralised data management systems in place which involve Personal Data being accessible by Huawei group companies outside of the European Economic Area. The processing by other companies of the Huawei group will be based on Huawei’s legitimate interest to process Personal Data within a group of undertakings for internal administrative purposes (Art.6 para.1 lit.f GDPR). In particular, we have recruitment, HR and IT management systems which are hosted by our parent company (Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.) in China. This means that all Personal Data which are held on these systems (including emails) and other applications and platforms may be accessible by employees of Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. Please also refer to section 9 for more information on international data transfer.

5.2 Human Recources, Recruitment team members and managers/other employees within Huawei who are involved in the recruitment and selection process and general HR management of the successful Candidate may have access to your data provided.

Furthermore, recruitment agencies and headhunter firms receive feedback from Huawei in relation to the assessment of the Candidates they have recommended and the terms and conditions of employment to be offered to any Candidate they have recommended. In this case, the processing is based on the purpose of the Candidate’s agreement with the recruitment agency or headhunter firm and on our and the recruitment agency’s/headhunter firm’s legitimate interest to process such data for the purpose of determining and settling a potential referral fee (Art.6 para.1 lit.b and f GDPR).
