Our privacy statement

This privacy statement explains which of your data Knab processes via werkenbijknab.nl and HR and why we do this.

Knab receives your personal information in various ways. For example, via a web form, this web page or when you send a letter of application. We respect your privacy and do all we can to protect your personal data. When collecting and processing personal information, we comply with privacy laws and have also recorded everything in our own privacy statement.

• Data from an assessment and/or personality test if      one has been taken
• Information from personal contacts and/or      telephone calls

This helps us choose between candidates and/or commence an employment contract. For example, we may use your data to contact you about your application or schedule a job interview. Additionally, based on your data we check to see if we have vacancies that may interest you and may contact you regarding these. Do we need more information from you to determine whether you might work for Knab? Then we also consult (public) sources, such as Linkedin and other social media platforms and process data from them.

We store the personal data you have given us, your CV and your cover letter during the application procedure. We keep this data in our portfolio for a maximum of 1 year after the end of the application procedure. After that year, your data is deleted.

Then your data will become part of your personnel file.

We sometimes engage third parties to carry out the application procedure, for example recruitment or assessment agencies. They are also obliged to handle your data correctly and carefully. We have made clear agreements with them for this. For example, they may only process your data to the extent necessary for the application process, they must save it securely and must comply with applicable laws and regulations. This is all part of our contract with third parties. If we are legally obliged to do so, we also release your personal data to tax authorities, investigative bodies or regulators. These might include De Nederlandse Bank (DNB), the Financial Markets Authority (AFM) and the Personal Data Authority.

Of course, we handle your data carefully. We have taken various measures to protect your personal data against loss or unlawful processing. This involves information security policies, employee training, secure servers and physical protection of areas where data is stored.
