We will only collect information about you that is necessary for your employment relationship. In addition to your contact details, we must have, for example, information about your bank account for salary payments. We will also ask you for the contact details of your emergency contact person so that we know whom to contact in case of an emergency involving you. During your employment, we will also obtain information about your health if, for example, you have to be absent from work due to an illness.

For example, you have the right to request a reference for a period of ten years from the end of your employment; for us to be able to draw up a reference, we need to retain your data for a sufficiently long period of time.
In addition, we have the right to retain your personal data for as long as any employment-related matters could be subject to subsequent disputes based on law.
