We may collect personal information to determine your suitability for the position you are applying for as part of the application process based on the application provided by you through forms provided in sections of this Website and/or in other contexts, such as by participating in a career fair or responding to a job advertisement.

 

We also collect your personal information for this purpose from our various recruitment agencies with whom we partner to fill employment positions.

On this occasion, he or she is invited to consent to the data processing operations set out above, pursuant to Articles 6(a) and 7 of the GDPR.

  • If necessary, regular monitoring of compliance by the nursing team and, with a view to alerting the attending physician in the event of anomalies;

Such processing will be carried out in compliance with the prescription and in accordance with the rules established by the local Healthcare system and Healthcare professional to benefit from the Third-Party Payer.

Transfers of Your Personal Data

 

KMT Medical defines the access and confidentiality rules applicable to the personal data collected and processed.  Only duly authorized recipients may access, within the framework of an access management policy, the personal data collected which is necessary for their activity.  

The data collected and processed by KMT are not intended to be transferred or sold to third parties.

Such entities may be located in another country for which the European Commission has not issued a decision that this country ensures an adequate level of data protection, namely: the United States or the locations of non-EEA KMT Medical group companies. We may transfer your personal data to these recipients for the legitimate interests of KMT Medical (pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) to facilitate global operations in connection with the systems and services that the KMT Medical group of companies share, such as access to network servers, IT systems, and interdepartmental staff. A list of such companies can be found here: https://www.kmtmedical.com/business-units

  • To third-party service providers who process data on KMT Medical’s behalf as necessary for the provision of products and services, including IT service providers, such as salesforce.com and SAP, for the purpose of administering the software on which KMT Medical systems and network operate, noting that our third party service providers and partners are contractually obligated to process such data on behalf of KMT Medical under appropriate instructions as necessary for the respective processing purposes and to appropriately protect your personal data. They may not otherwise process or share your personal data, except as permitted by law;

  • To governmental authorities, courts, external advisors, and similar third parties as required or permitted by applicable law if we have reason to believe that disclosing personal data is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing fraud or injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other Website users or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. We also disclose personal data in response to a subpoena, warrant or other court or administrative order, or when we believe in good faith that a law, regulation, subpoena, warrant or other court or administrative order requires – or authorizes us to do so – or to respond to an emergency situation. The legal basis for such data transfers are our legitimate interests identified above (pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) and to comply with legal obligations (pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR).

 

In all cases, we limit the personal data which is provided to these third parties to only that which is necessary and as otherwise restricted by application of the GDPR and other relevant local law. Some of the recipients of your personal data will be located or have relevant operations outside of your country and the EEA, where the data protection laws may provide a different level of protection compared to the laws in your jurisdiction and with regard to which an adequacy decision by the European Commission does not exist. By way of entering into appropriate data transfer agreements based on Standard Contractual Clauses (2010/87/EU and/or 2004/915/EC) as referred to in Art. 46 (5) GDPR or other adequate means, which may be requested via the contact details below, we will implement appropriate measures to ensure that all other recipients located outside the EEA will provide an adequate level of data protection and that appropriate technical and organizational security measures are in place to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

Your personal data is stored by KMT Medical and/or our service providers to the extent necessary for the performance of our obligations and for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which the personal data is collected, in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our robust internal data retention schedules.

 

When KMT Medical/its affiliates no longer need to process your personal data, we will delete it from our systems and/or records and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it, unless we need to keep your personal data to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which KMT Medical is subject.

KMT ensures the security of information systems and the confidentiality of personal data collected.  

 

KMT shall determine and implement the technical and organizational means necessary to protect the personal data processed, to prevent any access by unauthorized third parties and to prevent any loss, alteration or disclosure of data.
