Tessero is the trading name of the companies listed below. They were part of the Hays plc group until 16 June 2026, when they joined the Meraki Capital group. Only the names have changed. Each company remains responsible, as controller, for the personal data it held before, and for personal data it collects now.
We also serve clients in the United Kingdom, from our Luxembourg office, and in the United States, from our Danish office. That company is responsible for your data. Our UK representative is Project M Target Limited, 167-169 Great Portland Street, London W1W 5PF.
Until 16 December 2026, Hays plc and its group companies continue to provide our recruitment, payroll, email and IT systems and services under a transitional services agreement. They act on our instructions as our processor. During this period, we continue to handle your personal data as described in the privacy policy that applied before, which you can read for your country below. Where that policy refers to Hays, or to Hays company names and addresses, please read it as referring to the Tessero company and address above.
Until 16 December 2026, under the transitional services agreement, our Data Protection Officer is Robert Norris, Data Protection Officer at Hays, 4th Floor, 20 Triton Street, London NW1 3BF. You can contact him at groupdpo@hays.com.
You can also contact the Tessero company for your country, using the details above.
Some services are run by Tessero directly rather than through Hays: this website and the forms on it, our recruitment process outsourcing service in Hungary, and our own Microsoft 365. These are covered below.
This website. When you send us a contact form or job application, we use your details and CV to respond to you and to consider you for the role you applied for. If you are put forward, we share your details with the employer. We also keep your details and CV on file so we can contact you about other suitable roles. You can ask us to remove them at any time. We rely on our legitimate interest in running our recruitment service, including keeping a database of candidates for future roles. Please do not send us national identification numbers, bank details or health information through our forms. We do not need them to consider you, and if a role requires them we will ask separately.
We do not store CVs on this website. Your CV passes through a secure upload service and is deleted from it within 24 hours of upload. The other details you enter in our forms are kept on the website only until we move applications to our new recruitment system, which we expect to do by the end of 2026. They are then deleted from the website. Once your application reaches our consultant, it is kept as described in your country's privacy policy.
Recruitment process outsourcing in Hungary. When we recruit for a client, we hold your details in our own recruitment system and decide whether to put you forward for the client's roles. Your details may come from you, from one of our recruiters or from a recruitment partner working with us. We use them only for that client's roles, relying on our legitimate interest. Once we submit your application, the client also holds your details, and its own privacy notice applies to its use.
We use the service providers below. They act on our instructions under written agreements and may only use your data to provide their service to us. Where they process data outside the EEA or UK, we rely on an adequacy decision, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
Core systems, until 16 December 2026

Recruitment process outsourcing service in Hungary
Strictly necessary items are always on, because the website needs them to work and stay secure. Analytics and Marketing cookies load only if you switch them on in the cookie banner, and you can reject them as easily as accept them. You can change your choice at any time through the Cookie Preferences link on every page. We keep your choice for 12 months and then ask again. We rely on your consent for Analytics and Marketing cookies, and on our legitimate interest in a secure, working website for strictly necessary items. We do not sell cookie data or share it for anyone else's advertising.
Our core systems are currently provided by Hays under a transitional services agreement. In our recruitment process outsourcing service in Hungary, and within our own Microsoft 365, we use AI tools to help our recruiters search for and match candidates to roles, suggest an order in which to review them, and summarise experience and draft notes. This involves profiling, which we carry out under our legitimate interest, and you can object to it. AI does not make decisions about you. A recruiter reviews every candidate and makes every decision about who to contact, put forward or turn down. We do not use AI to recognise emotions or to infer sensitive characteristics. Where the EU AI Act applies to these uses, we will meet its requirements.
You have the following rights over your personal data:
Your right to object. You can object at any time to our use of your data based on our legitimate interests, including keeping you in our candidate database and the profiling described under How we use AI. We will stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or we need the data for a legal claim. If you object to direct marketing, we will always stop.
How to use your rights. Contact the Tessero company for your country above, or our data protection contact. We will respond within one month. For complex or numerous requests, we can extend this by up to two further months and will tell you why within the first month. We may need to confirm your identity first. There is no charge, unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Complaints. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live or work, or where you think the problem occurred: Sweden, Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY); Denmark, Datatilsynet; Luxembourg, Commission nationale pour la protection des données (CNPD); Czech Republic, Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů (ÚOOÚ); Hungary, Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH); Romania, Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal (ANSPDCP). In the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Our services move from Hays to our own systems. We will publish an updated privacy policy before then, setting out our new service providers, data protection contact and any changes to how long we keep your data.
This notice applies from 6 November 2026. We will publish any changes here.
