This Recruitment Privacy Statement ("Statement") describes how we collect and use personal data about you during Nokia's recruitment activities where Nokia is the data controller, and what rights you have in relation to such data. Personal data means information about you or another identifiable individual. We may provide you additional privacy information that are specific to certain areas of Nokia's recruitment activities in Supplements to this Statement and in other notices you may see. If there is a difference between such notices and this Statement, the notices should be considered first. You are not required to provide the personal data to Nokia. If you choose not to provide your personal data to Nokia, we may not be able to continue the recruitment process with you or to respond to queries you have. The latter does not apply to the section within the recruitment process that relates to a voluntary inclusion and diversity questionnaire -- this questionnaire is at all times voluntary and your decision to complete it will not affect the overall recruitment process. 1. What Personal Data does Nokia collect and process? Nokia collects personal data directly from you as well as from other available sources to the extent relevant and permitted by applicable law.

We may also maintain records of your consents, preferences and setting in relation to, for example, job locations, compensation, types of positions and preferred ways to be contacted by Nokia. - -During the recruitment process, we will also ask you to provide (on a voluntary basis) gender identity and other diversity and/or inclusion monitoring information to allow us to undertake diversity and/or inclusion monitoring within our business. It is not mandatory to provide this information and you are free to decline to share it with us by selecting the 'prefer not to say' (or similar opt-out wording) on the applicable form (rather than selecting the relevant gender, i.e. male, female or non-binary (or analogous choice) and continue with your application. A failure to tick a relevant gender box will be assumed to be a 'prefer not to say' selection. In any case, this information is used solely and exclusively for statistical purposes and will not be used in any way for recruitment or selection decisions. If you do provide this information, it will then be processed in accordance with this policy on the lawful bases identified below.
