ChipSoft Privacy Statement - Protection of Personal Data

Of course, you don't want just anyone to be able to see what your search history is on the internet. This applies to searching for job openings, registering for one of our events, chat conversations, taking an e-learning course et cetera. ChipSoft is doing all it can to keep your private data private. In this privacy statement, we will tell you about the data that ChipSoft stores about you as a (potential) candidate, website visitor, applicant or client.

ChipSoft stores your personal data in a secured database. We follow the legal regulations; data is not forwarded to third parties for commercial purposes. Your data will only be shared with third parties who help us in finding new colleagues and with the organisation of events. These third parties will, of course, follow the legal regulations. These parties have entered data processing agreements. You can read about the data we request and what we use it for below. This section will also discuss your rights, who has access to your data and for how long ChipSoft will store your data.

What personal data is processed by ChipSoft, why and on what legal grounds?

Below is an overview of the purposes for which ChipSoft may process your personal data. We always indicate what data ChipSoft uses for that specific purpose, the legal grounds for processing the data and for how long the data is stored by ChipSoft.


1 Candidates

Personal data provided to ChipSoft by a candidate is used exclusively to enable a responsible, effective and efficient recruitment and selection process. ChipSoft collects and processes information from candidates directly via forms or the internal job openings site, or by personal contact, telephone conversations and/or e-mail. The data and documents provided by you, including contact information, CV and motivation letter are processed by ChipSoft for one of the following reasons:

to determine whether you should be considered for the job opening for which you have applied, or, in the case of an open application, whether you will be considered for a position within ChipSoft;
to have an assessment performed;
for the implementation or application of a law.

What do we want to know about you if you apply?


First and last name (obligatory field in our application form)
date of birth (obligatory field in our application form)
telephone number (obligatory field in our application form)
e-mail address (obligatory field in our application form)
CV and motivation letter (optional, not obligatory fields)

When confirming an appointment for a job interview we ask for the following (non-obligatory) information:
 
Diplomas
Certificates
Recent salary statements

For what purposes will ChipSoft process your personal data?

ChipSoft will compare your personal information with the vacant position(s) and the associated qualifications. In addition, ChipSoft will keep you updated about the process using your contact information. The data is also used to provide information about other openings or positions for which you may be considered.

What is the "legal ground" for the use of your information?

The processing of this personal information is done on the basis of consent.

For how long will ChipSoft keep your data?

ChipSoft stores the data of the candidates during the recruitment and selection procedure.

Only with your consent will ChipSoft save your application data for a period of one (1) year to be able to inform you should a suitable position become available at a later time. If the data is used anonymously, we will only use it for internal analyses and reports, such as when we want to know how long a position has been open.

3 Campus Recruitment

ChipSoft differentiates between candidates and potential candidates. Potential candidates are students and recent graduates for ChipSoft. The organisation wants to build a long-term relationship with these people and draw more attention to its employer brand. The two target groups are subdivided into various categories (such as training). Campus recruitment activities are organised for potential candidates for direct recruitment (such as for filling internship positions), and also to build a long-term relationship (such as during a training period). This is not recruitment but Employer Branding.

The following activities are organised within the framework of Employer Branding, to make ChipSoft more recognisable as an employer among these target groups:

In person: ChipSoft provides students and recent graduates with training, job fairs, in-house days and other types of events. This happens internally and at external locations.
Online: ChipSoft holds various online activities to get/stay in contact with students and recent graduates. This includes sending newsletters, blogs, invitations and mailings. In addition, various social media activities are conducted. For this we use the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram and YouTube. In addition, ChipSoft uses job boards (including Monsterboard, LinkedIn, De Persgroep and Indeed). We also use online marketing techniques (including programmatic advertising and bannering on various websites that link to the various target groups).
