Your nationality or the language you speak is not a special data; we use it to speak to you in your own language and to know whether an employer can communicate with you in your own language.

From contact persons, we process name, function, business phone number and email address, and the communication regarding requests, candidates and invoices. Basis: execution of the agreement and legitimate interest in maintaining business relationships.

4. Website, chatbot, WhatsApp and cookies

Chatbot

On our website, we have a dedicated chatbot that answers questions about jobs and work via 100% Vakwerk, and that helps you apply for jobs. The chatbot is based on language technology from Anthropic (Claude), whom we use through a secure connection. Anthropic processes the messages solely to generate a response; it does not use them to train models and acts as a processor under a processor agreement. What you enter in the chat (for example, your name, phone number, experience, and CV) is only forwarded to our team if you agree to it in the chat. We store chat conversations for a maximum of 30 days for quality control and improvement; after that, they are automatically deleted. Do not enter any data you do not want to share with us.

WhatsApp

We use WhatsApp (Meta Platforms Ireland) as a contact channel, because most candidates find that convenient. If you contact us via WhatsApp, Meta processes your phone number and metadata in accordance with WhatsApp’s terms and conditions. If you prefer not to communicate via WhatsApp, please call or email us.

Application and contact forms

Data from our forms is stored in our own candidate system on our WordPress website and by email to our team. CVs are stored in a secure folder that is not publicly accessible.

Cookies and similar techniques

We use functional cookies (always), and after your consent, statistics cookies from Google Analytics and marketing cookies from Meta (Facebook/Instagram pixel) and Microsoft Advertising (Bing), which allow us to measure the reach of our job ads and show targeted ads. Without your consent, we do not place these cookies. You can read about which cookies exactly, for how long they are stored, and how to change your preferences in our cookie policy.

Meta ads and lead forms

If you respond to a job ad on Facebook or Instagram, we will receive the information you fill in on the advertisement form or you send us a WhatsApp message directly. We will treat that information as any other application.

Translated pages

Our website is available in Dutch, Polish, German and English. The language selection is remembered in a functional cookie.

5. With whom we share data

  • ClientsWe will only introduce you to an employer after we have discussed it with you. The employer will then receive your (anonymized or full) profile with the data necessary to assess whether you are suitable. Never send your complete CV without asking.
  • Jigler (P-services HR group, Barneveld): as soon as you accept a placement, we share the data necessary to arrange your employment contract and salary. Jigler is then responsible for the personnel and payroll administration itself.

  • Public authorities: only if we are legally obliged to do so.

We never sell your data and do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
