We do not process any special personal data (such as health, religion, ethnicity). If you do share such data with us, for example in your CV, we do not use it and delete it wherever possible. 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.

Purpose: guidance during your assignment and managing our relationship with the client. Basis: execution of the mediation agreements and legitimate interest. The personnel and payroll administration is handled by Jigler.

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.
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.

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.
6. Transfer outside the EU
Some of our processors (Google, Meta, Microsoft, Anthropic) are based in the United States or process data there. We only work with parties that are affiliated with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or that adhere to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, supplemented by appropriate technical measures. You can request more information about the safeguards used from us.
7. How long we store data
| Situation | Storage period |
|---|---|
| You have applied or contacted, but you have not been hired | Maximum 4 weeks after the conclusion of the contact or the procedure |
| You consent to remain in our candidate pool | Maximum 1 year after your last contact; after that we ask for permission again or delete your data |
| You were placed through us | Mediation file up to 2 years after the end of your last placement; the personnel and payroll administration keeps Jigler according to the legal deadlines (including 7 years fiscal retention obligation) |
| Chat conversations with the chatbot | Maximum 30 days |
| Contact details of clients and suppliers | Duration of the relationship plus 2 years; invoices 7 years (tax retention obligation) |
| Statistical and marketing data (cookies) | See cookie policy |
At the end of the term, we will delete or anonymize your data, unless a legal obligation requires us to keep them for longer.
8. Security
We secure your data with appropriate technical and organizational measures: encrypted connections (https), two-factor authentication on our accounts, access only for Leon, Dennis, and Kevin, and on a need-basis, secure storage of CVs, processor agreements with our suppliers, and automatic deletion after the retention period. Despite these measures, no processing can be completely risk-free. If you suspect a data breach, please report it immediately via [email protected].

If you are not satisfied with the way we handle your data, we would like to hear from you first. You can also file a complaint with the Authority for Personal Data.
10. No automated decisions
Whether you are introduced to an employer is always up to Leon, Dennis or Kevin, after a personal meeting. Our chatbot and candidate system support us in this, but do not make decisions about you without human assessment. We do not engage in profiling with legal consequences.
