Privacy policy
In this Privacy Policy, we disclose mandatory information about the processing of personal data when you are using our website in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation No. 2016/679 (ES) (the Regulation).
The Data Controller determining the purposes and means of processing your personal data is QDS Cargo Ltd (legal entity code 748814, address Unit 4 First Floor 84 Strand Street Skerries Co. Dublin K34 VW93 Ireland, tel. +353 851765196, e-mail [email protected]).
It is important that you read the Privacy Policy carefully, as its terms apply to individuals visiting our website, communicating with our company and otherwise providing personal data. Please read the current version of this document regularly as its contents may change in the future.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy shall be understood as they are defined in the Regulation.
The following information includes these purposes of data processing: (i) conducting direct marketing; (ii) the processing of personal data of candidates taking part in the selection and the administration of the candidate database; (iii) administration of complaints, inquiries or orders; (iv) e-mail communication; (v) use of cookies; (vi) use of social networks; (vii) video surveillance; (viii) conclusion and performance of contracts; (ix) administration of the insured event and receipt of the insurance benefit. This Privacy Policy also describes the rights of your as a data subject, provision of data to recipients, and other conditions for processing of personal data applicable to all personal data processed in the company for the above purposes.
Conducting direct marketing
If you are a customer or have expressed your intention to receive offers from our company, the personal data you voluntarily provide to us, including your email address and phone number, will be used to provide you the information about goods and services, news, promotions, events or other direct marketing information.
Direct marketing without your consent will only be sent to your email if you are our client. Such marketing will be in accordance with the rights granted by the laws.
Your personal data will be processed for direct marketing purposes for 5 years after consent or the end of your relationship with you.
Every email you receive will allow you to opt out of direct marketing communications. You can also opt-out or revoke your consent by contacting our company.
Processing of personal data of candidates taking part in the selection and the administration of the candidate database
If you have sent your CV (cover letter), motivation letter, letters of references and/or other documents or data on the basis of the information published on our website or in dedicated website intended for the selection of employees and jobseekers or a job ad posted elsewhere, your voluntary submitted later and other personal data below will be processed for the purpose of staff selection.
For the purpose of selection, we will process your personal data until we decide to recruit a particular candidate, until the end his probationary period, or until we decide to complete the selection process without selecting any candidate. This period usually does not exceed four months. If you do not object to such processing of your data, we will retain your CV and other data submitted for the administration of the candidate database for 3 years after the completion of the selection process so that we can contact you to invite for participation in a new recruitment or job offer.
We will process your personal data on the basis of your consent to participate in the selection process and, upon completion of the selection process, will keep it on the basis of the legitimate interest. We may also perform certain actions to fulfil our statutory obligations. Submission of your personal data to participate in the selection process is voluntary, but if you do not provide it to us, we will not be able to assess the eligibility of your application. You may object to the retention of data after the end of the selection, in which case your personal data will be destroyed and no job offers will be made in the future unless you voluntarily participate in a new selection or re-send your data. If you do not agree to the storage of your data after the end of the selection, please inform us when sending you your CV and other data in response to the e-mail or by signing the information form during the meeting.
Please be advised that exercising the right granted to us by the personal data protection legislation we can contact your former employers, asking for reference about your qualifications, professional abilities and professional characteristics. However, we will not contact your current employer without your explicit prior consent.
Administration of complaints, inquiries or orders
If you submit a complaint, claim, inquiry or order via email, in writing or otherwise, the personal data you voluntarily submit will be processed for the purpose of administering this complaint, claim, inquiry or order.
If your complaint or claim relates to a potential dispute, possible damage, etc., and if a contractual relationship arises during the execution of your order, your personal data may be stored for a maximum of 10 years. Unless the personal data relating to the complaint or claim is relevant to a potential dispute, it will be destroyed within a shorter period of time, when such data is no longer necessary for the purpose. Typically, this period does not exceed 1 year.
The processing of your personal data will be based on your free will, i.e. your consent to provide the data, but in certain cases (for example, if there is a possibility of a dispute or if it arises), the law may serve as a basis for further storage of your complaint.
E-mail communication
Based on the Regulation, content of correspondence by e-mail is considered as personal data and this applies even for the correspondence of employees of legal entities. In this respect, we will apply the rules for the processing of personal data in accordance with the Regulation to the content of communication as well as to the email addresses.
The basis for the processing of your personal data is the free will expression to engage communication by email and provision of certain details in it, i.e. the consent. Moreover, the processing of your data may also be based on the performance of a contract and statutory obligations.
Your email address, correspondence content and related data will be processed in accordance with the principle of proportionality. This data will primarily be visible to the person whom you will be directly contacting by email. However, in certain cases, your correspondence may also be accessible to other employees, for example, in the course of internal administration, investigation of potential violations of legal acts or internal rules of procedure, replacement of the employee and related purposes, and in similar situations.

Video surveillance
The company carries out video surveillance in the premises (at the entrance to the premises, in the warehouse, in the garage) and in the territory (at the entry into the territory) in order to ensure the safety of property and persons. Video surveillance is based on a legitimate interest. Video recordings are stored for 30 days.
Conclusion and execution of contracts
For the purposes of concluding and enforcing the contracts, we will process the data you provide when you enter into the contract, as well as the data we receive when you execute the contract. If you do not provide your personal data, we will not be able to identify and conclude a contract with you.
The basis for the processing of your personal data for this purpose is the performance of the contract or the pre-contractual action taken at your request. Certain actions for the processing of personal data may also be based on the fulfilment of statutory obligations, for example, in order to comply with the obligations under the legislation governing tax payments.
We will retain your personal data for no more than 10 years after the expiration of your contract with you.
Administration of the insured event and receipt of the insurance benefit
For the purpose of administering the insurance claim and receiving the insurance indemnity, we will process copies of the identity document and/or driver’s license of the accident participants, information related to the accident and other information provided by the accident participant.
Data processing is based on the fulfilment of statutory obligations, legitimate interest and the expression of the will of the traffic accident participant in the submission of data. Without this data, we would not be able to file the insurance claim documentation, nor would we be able to meet the statutory requirements for receiving the insurance benefit.
Subject to the general limitation period in which a dispute may arise, we will retain personal data for a maximum of 10 years from receipt of the insurance benefit.
