LEGAL BASIS OF PROCESSING
According to the GDPR, processing must be based on a legitimate basis, a sound reason for collecting, storing, using and disclosing your personal information.
“Pylones” has a legitimate interest in processing personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process.
The processing of your personal data throughout the recruitment process is necessary in order to assess and confirm a candidate’s suitability for employment and decide to whom to offer a job. In some cases, we need to process data to ensure that we are complying with our legal obligations or in order to respond to and defend against legal claims.
WITH WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Your personal data is shared internally within our company, between its various departments while carrying out the recruitment process. This internal disclosure is done in a safe and essential way on a need to know basis.
We may also share and receive your personal data from organizations and individuals outside “Pylones”.
Your personal information may be provided by us to third parties as service providers acting on our behalf to perform some of the services described above (e.g. for behavioral or technical assessments). These service providers are known as data processors and have also a legal obligation under GDPR and towards “Pylones” to take care of your personal data and use it only for the provision of the agreed services.
In cases where we share your data as data controllers with another controller, the use of such information by that company will be subject to its own privacy policy. PYLONES makes every effort to select partners who provide high quality, trust, reliability, protection and security services but is not responsible for the use of information from these companies. These partners can use your personal information to communicate directly with you.

When an automated decision that is taken for you is important (one that may have legal impact or otherwise may significantly affect you), you will be warned about this from us, along with your rights to challenge this decision.

The European Cyber Security Challenge (ECSC) is an annual European competition promoted by the European Commission through ENISA, bringing together young people to compete in Cyber Security, aiming to uncover new InfoSEc talent within Europe. The top cyber talents from each country meet to network and collaborate and finally compete against each other to determine which country has the best cyber talents. The competition is very demanding, with skillful contestants solving security related tasks from domains such as web security, mobile security, crypto puzzles, reverse engineering and forensics and collect points for solving them.
The Hellenic Cyber Security Team consists of 10 individuals (ages 14-25), high-school and university students, as well as researchers and professionals who excelled in the qualification rounds. The Department of Digital Systems of the University of Piraeus is responsible for organizing the Greek participation in the competition. Led by the Professor Christos Xenakis, a specialized team of cyber security experts are already preparing the Hellenic team for the European ECSC 2019 Challenge.
