The term “personal data” has the meaning defined under GDPR: any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. It does not include anonymous data.

odyssea.com — Course Registration & Website Visitors

When you register for a course or otherwise interact with odyssea.com, we may collect information you provide directly, including:

• Full name, email address, phone number
• Gender, date of birth, country of origin
• Language proficiency (Greek and English)
• Desired course and how you heard about Odyssea
• Curriculum Vitae (CV)
• Motivations for joining / goals after completing the course
• Relevant experience or background, and any other information in open text fields

We limit our collection to information necessary for the registration and administration of our courses. We do not collect sensitive personal data unless you voluntarily provide it (which we discourage). Please ensure that any personal data you provide is accurate and up-to-date.

talent.odyssea.com — Talent Platform Users

When you register and create a Profile on the Talent Platform, we collect information depending on your role:

• Job Seekers: Identification data (full name, photo, date of birth, country of origin, gender, hashed password); educational background, vocational and general skills (computer skills, language skills, work permits, driver’s licence, etc.); professional experience, qualifications, and certificates; personal information in your mini bio or uploaded CV; whether you have participated in Odyssea courses or livelihood programmes; and information in any “About Me” video you upload. You may also receive Endorsers’ assessments and feedback, which will be visible on your profile.
• Companies: Contact details and personal data of authorized representatives or employees using the Platform on behalf of their organization. Companies may also post job openings on the Platform, in which case we collect the content of those postings and any associated application management activity.
• NGOs and Recruiters: Contact details and personal data of representatives of organizations that use the Platform to facilitate the onboarding and ongoing management of Job Seekers on their behalf. This includes the identity of the Job Seekers they manage and any activity carried out in connection with those profiles.
• Endorsers: Full name, photo, date of birth, country of origin, gender, and hashed password.

Without the required identification data, a Profile cannot be created and the full features of the Platform cannot be accessed. The email address provided during registration may be used for profile verification and activation, communications regarding your profile, contact by Endorsers, and — if you have given consent — for newsletter distribution.

Note on Job Seekers onboarded by an NGO or Recruiter: Where an NGO or Recruiter registers a Job Seeker on the Platform on their behalf, that Job Seeker’s personal data is provided to Odyssea indirectly. In such cases, in accordance with Article 14 GDPR, Odyssea will inform the Job Seeker directly — at the latest at the point of their first interaction with the Platform — of the processing of their data and of their rights under this Policy.

Note on video content: Any “About Me” video uploaded by a Job Seeker is processed on the basis of the User’s consent. Users should be aware that video content may incidentally contain sensitive information (such as health-related or biometric data). We encourage Users not to include such information in their videos. Uploaded videos are accessible to authorized Platform Users (including Companies and Endorsers) for the purposes of recruitment and assessment.

Registration via LinkedIn or Google

The Talent Platform offers the option to sign up using your LinkedIn or Google account. Only if you give your express consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR prior to registration will LinkedIn or Google disclose your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture to the Platform. No other data is transferred from these services without your explicit consent.

Communications

When you contact us through any channel (email, contact form, etc.), we may collect your name, email address, and any other personal information contained in your message, solely to respond to your enquiry, complaint, or request.

Financial Data

Where applicable, we may collect personal data relating to payments made in the course of subscriptions to the Platform (such as billing name, billing address, and transaction identifiers). Payment processing is carried out on the basis of contract performance. Note that full payment card details are processed directly by our payment service provider and are not stored by Odyssea. Our payment service provider acts as an independent data controller or as our data processor, as applicable, and is subject to their own privacy and security obligations.
