The protection of personal data is very important to Staffed Ltd (hereinafter "we" or "Staffed").

By submitting your personal data on our website, staffed.com, or our mobile applications (together, referred to as "Platforms") you expressly agree that your personal data will be handled in accordance with the following Data Protection Declaration. The definition of terms used in the General Terms and Conditions also applies to this Data Protection Declaration, if not defined in another way.

Duration of the data processing if you have a Staffed account as a Staffer: The personal data entered by you in your Staffed Account is accessible to you for the duration of the contractual term and is stored by us for this period. The personal data is finally and irrevocably erased or anonymized when (i) you delete individual data or your profile or instruct us to do so or when the contract ends, i.e. if you or we terminate the contract (you can obtain details on this from the General Terms and Conditions) and (ii) we do not need the data for the fulfillment of the contract, are not legally obligated to retain it or the processing is not for the purposes of establishing, exercising or defending legal rights. Please note that for technical and/or organizational reasons it may take several days before your data is finally and irrevocably erased. In case we anonymize your personal data instead of erasing it, we ensure that your data no longer contains any personal data following the anonymization, i.e. neither we nor third parties can attribute this data to you. Duration of the data processing if you have no Staffed Account (such as a visitor or an Applicant): If you are an Applicant, we store your application data only as long as the job ad for the job you applied for is active and thereby only for a limited time of a maximum of 6 Months. The application data will be erased upon conclusion of the application process, the latest. Logfiles are anonymized after 7 days at the latest by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. We store your other personal data for a maximum period of six months. On expiry of this period we erase all your personal data finally and irrevocably or we anonymize this data where we do not have a legal obligation to retain it or the processing is for the purposes of establishing, exercising or defending legal rights.

In particular, you may request information about the purposes of the processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right of rectification, deletion, limitation of processing or opposition, the existence of a right of appeal, the origin of your data if it has not been collected from us, as well as the existence of an automated decision making process including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information on its details.

If FADP applies: We encourage our customers to engage with us in the event you have any concerns or complaints.
