Personal data processed during the application process
By submitting an application through our recruitment website, you formally express your interest in employment with our organisation. In doing so, you transmit personal data, which we will exclusively use and store for the purpose of facilitating your job search and application process. The personal data collected for application processing includes information such as your name, contact details, professional background, education, and employment history. Additionally, it encompasses voluntarily provided information such as CVs, cover letters, references, or links to professional profiles, which may contain further personal data, including your address, date of birth, or other career-related details. Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel directly engaged in the recruitment process. Kindly refrain from including sensitive information such as your Citizen Service Number (BSN) or a copy of your identification document in your application materials, as this information is not required until an employment contract is duly prepared.

Purpose and legal basis of processing
Your personal data shall be processed solely for the purpose of facilitating the recruitment process. This encompasses reviewing applications, evaluating candidates’ suitability for the position, communicating with applicants, and, where applicable, preparing and executing an employment contract. The processing of your personal data is grounded in Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as it is necessary to take steps prior to entering into an employment agreement, and on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in conducting an efficient and lawful recruitment procedure. Where personal data is processed based on your consent, such as inclusion in a talent pool for future opportunities, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Any consent provided may be withdrawn at any time with effect going forward.

Data retention
Your personal data is stored only for as long as necessary to complete the recruitment process and to comply with applicable legal obligations. Typically, application data is retained for a period of 4 weeks after the conclusion of the application process. This retention period is primarily intended to fulfil statutory obligations and to defend against potential legal claims. After this period, your data will be deleted or anonymised. Anonymised data may be kept in aggregated form for internal statistical purposes. With your explicit consent, your application data may be retained for up to 12 months to include you in our talent pool for future vacancies. If you accept a position with us, the personal data collected during the application process will be incorporated into your personnel file and retained in accordance with applicable employment, tax, and social security laws.

Disclosure of data to third parties
Your application data is transmitted securely and stored in systems operated by external service providers who act as processors on our behalf within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR. We have concluded appropriate data processing agreements with such providers to ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with GDPR requirements. Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties for purposes unrelated to the recruitment process.

International data transfers
We store and process your personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA). Our recruitment software and data storage systems are hosted on servers located within the EU.

Rights of data subjects
During the processing of your personal data for the application process, you are entitled to the rights provided under Chapter III of the GDPR, in particular the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restriction of processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details set out above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the Netherlands, the competent authority is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Amendments
We reserve the right to amend this data privacy statement at any time to ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements or to reflect changes in our recruitment processes. The version applicable at the time of your application shall apply.

Processing of (personal) data by the operator of the recruitment website

General information

This recruitment website is operated by Personio SE & Co. KG, which offers a human resource and candidate management software solution (https://www.personio.com/legal-notice/). Data transmitted as part of your application will be transferred using TLS encryption and stored in a database. The sole controller of this data within the meaning of article 24 of the GDPR is the enterprise carrying out this online application process. Personio’s role is limited to operating the software and this recruitment website and, in this context, being a processor under article 28 of the GDPR. In this case, the processing by Personio is based on an agreement for the processing of orders between the controller and Personio. In addition, Personio SE & Co. KG processes further data, some of which may be personal data, to provide its services, in particular for operating this recruitment website. We will refer to this in more detail below.

Access logs (“server logs”)

Each access to this recruitment website automatically causes general protocol data, so-called server logs, to be collected. As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. Without this data, it would, in some cases, be technically impossible to deliver or display the contents of the software. In addition, processing this data is absolutely necessary under security aspects, in particular for access, input, transfer, and storage control. Furthermore, this anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimizing services and technology. In addition, the log files can be checked and analyzed retrospectively when unlawful use of the software is suspected. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. Generally, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp of the access to the software is collected. The scope of this log process does not exceed the common log scope of any other site on the web. These access logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Error logs

So-called error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. This is absolutely necessary to ensure we can react as quickly as possible to possible problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). As a rule, this data is a pseudonym and thus does not allow for inferences about the identity of an individual. The legal basis for this is §25 subsection 2 Sentence 2 TDDDG. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. These error logs are stored for a period of up to 7 days. There is no right to object to this.

Use of cookies

So-called cookies are used on parts of this recruitment website. They are small text files which are stored on the device with which you access this recruitment website. As a general rule, cookies serve the purpose of ensuring secure access to a website (“absolutely necessary”), implementing certain functionalities such as standard-language settings (“functional”), improving the user experience or the performance of the website (“performance”), or placing targeted advertisements (“marketing”). On this recruitment website, we generally use only cookies that are absolutely necessary, functional or performance-related, in particular for implementing certain default settings such as language, for identifying the job advertising channel, or for analyzing the performance of a job advert via which a user accessed this recruitment website. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for providing our services and thus for the performance of the contract (article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR). Period of storage: up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can determine via your browser settings whether you allow or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely blocked functionalities of this recruitment website.

Rights of data subjects

If Personio SE & Co. KG as the controller processes personal data, you as the data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and the purpose of the processing, in particular the right of access (article 15 of the GDPR) and the rights to rectification (article 16 of the GDPR), erasure (article 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (article 18 of the GDPR), and data portability (article 20 of the GDPR), as well as the right to object (article 21 of the GDPR).
