Privacy Notice
How Praxis ATS collects, uses and protects the personal data of candidates.
Version 2026-09-20
Who processes your data
Praxis ATS operates this careers site and is the controller of the personal data you submit through it, within the meaning of the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where it applies to you, the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Postal address: the address published on our website. Write to the address published on our website with any question about this notice or any request concerning your data.
What we collect
What you enter in an application form — your name and email address, and optionally a mobile number, postal code, current job title and employer, and a LinkedIn URL — together with the CV file you upload and the text extracted from it. Only your name, your email address, your CV and your agreement to this notice are required; the rest is yours to leave blank. When a recruiter later works on your file, we may add interview notes, application history, and the details a placement in this market turns on: your nationality, your right to work in Switzerland and the expiry of the permit that grants it, and the workload you are looking for. We do not ask for your marital status, your religion, your health, your family situation or a photograph, and you are asked not to put them in your CV.
Why we use it, and on what basis
To assess your application, to match your profile with open roles, and to contact you about opportunities. Where you applied through this site, we rely on the consent you gave by ticking the box on the form. Where your file reached us another way — an email you sent us, a professional profile you made public, a recruiter you met — we rely on our legitimate interest in running a placement service, and we tell you that we hold a file. Providing your data is never a legal obligation; not providing it simply means we cannot present you.
Automated processing
We use an automated service, running on our own infrastructure, to read CVs and to draft candidate summaries and role-fit explanations that help recruiters review applications faster. These outputs are suggestions reviewed by a person; no decision about your application is taken by automated means alone, and no profiling determines the outcome of an application on its own.
Who can see it
Our recruiters, and the client company you are being presented to once a role requires it — a client sees your file only after we have decided to present you to them, and sees your name only in the form we send. Beyond that we use service providers who process data on our instructions and nothing else: the hosting of this platform and its database, the storage of your CV and the documents attached to your file, the mailbox and calendar service our recruiters work in, the delivery of the emails we send you, the telephone system that logs our calls without recording them, the address lookup used by our forms and our error and activity logging, and the automated CV reading described above. We disclose your file to an authority only where the law requires it. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising.
