-     Data related to education, professional situation, career, role in the company, for example, educational qualifications, previous work experience, promotions, performance, etc. 

Sensitive Data 
Daikin and authorized third parties process a limited amount of "sensitive" data for the purposes indicated below: 
-    Membership in protected categories (special data pursuant to Article 9 GDPR): Daikin, as the Data Controller, will only process personal data related to employment status under Law  Kodeks Pracy z 26 czerwca 1974 (t. j. Dz. U. 2023. poz. 1465 ze zmianami).

As with other personal data, the processing of sensitive data adheres to principles of necessity and lawfulness. This is done by informing individuals in advance and seeking consent if not relying on other equivalent consent grounds. Please do not provide additional sensitive data unless explicitly requested to do so (data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical, or other beliefs, political opinions, party, union, association memberships, as well as personal data revealing health and sexual life). Any sensitive data provided will be immediately deleted unless accompanied by a written declaration of consent to processing by Daikin after reviewing this information.
The data you provide will be processed through both manual and automated storage methods (the latter using appropriate IT and electronic tools) solely for the purpose of conducting an objective and qualified assessment of your application in relation to the role for which a selection process is underway. The data may also be processed after the selection process for which they were provided, in new selection procedures for similar roles, subject to the data retention period outlined in Section 7.
