Can
an employer directly solicit personal data from
job applicants if it merely uses its company email
address, postal address or fax number as a means
of identifying itself in a recruitment advertisement?
A:
No.
A company email address, postal address or fax
number by itself is generally not considered to
be sufficient identification of the employer.

In this case the requirement of the Code is satisfied
only if the full name of the company appears in
the logo.
