Any personal data you provide (including any data resulting from any attachments you provide) will be processed and used by Daiichi Sankyo for global personnel recruitment, management and planning purposes. This includes but is not limited to processing your application, assessing your skills, qualifications, and suitability for the vacant position, carrying out reference checks, where applicable, communicating with you about the recruitment process, keeping records related to our hiring processes, exercising or defending against legal claims or complying with legal or regulatory requirements. As part of the required registration, you will create an applicant profile, which you can view and also update or delete online using the access data you have provided.

If you decide to apply for a specific job, the processing of your data is based on the necessity of the processing for the potential establishment of an employment relationship with you. To the extent that we keep your data for a limited period of time after your application, we do so based on our legitimate interests to establish, exercise and defend our legal claims.

In addition, to the extent necessary in connection with the implementation of certain measures for pre[1]employment compliance checks, we may separately ask for your prior consent before processing your personal data. You are free to refuse your consent. However, if necessary, we may ask you in this case for further evidence enabling us to perform a full pre-employment compliance check.

If you are hired, personal data collected during your application process may be integrated into our global human resources systems and used to facilitate your onboarding. This information may also be added to your employee file and utilized for other employment-related purposes in compliance with applicable laws and company policies. In this context, processing of your data is based on the necessity to manage our employment relationship with you.

This provides you with the opportunity to identify professional opportunities at Daiichi Sankyo that may be of interest to you. We may review your profile and, provided you have given your consent, contact you regarding potential career opportunities. We process only personal data that you share with us during the registration process or when you update your profile.

The processing of your personal data for this purpose is based on our legitimate interests in providing the talent community services you actively requested by joining and maintaining your profile, as well as reviewing your profile and, provided you have given your consent, contacting you about potential career opportunities that match your skills and experience.

Whenever we transfer your personal data beyond the country/region of origin, we will do so in accordance with applicable laws. For example, if we transfer your personal data from the EEA, Switzerland or the UK to a country that does not provide a level of protection equivalent to that of the originating jurisdiction, we ensure appropriate data protection measures are implemented. These may include the use of EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), with necessary adaptions for the UK and Switzerland, and the application of supplementary measures where necessary.
