Who does Connect share personal data with?
Connect is executing the role as controller and processor responsibilities. Arsenaal is a co-controller of all personal data processed. This partnership enables us to offer you contract management, payroll administration and personnel administration.
Next to working together with Arsenaal, we have several partners to offer our marketplace. These partners are processors, and fall into the following categories:
- File server host
- Offsite backup
- Email processor
- Email marketing
- Analytics tools
- Logging tools
- Administrative and financial service
All our partners are GDPR compliant and adhere to all requirements that are applicable to European companies.
We also process information to you, depending on the role you have within Connect to be able to match flexworkers with businesses.
Flexworker
Once you signed up to Connect, and complete your profile, we process your data to Arsenaal.
Your profile isn’t accessible by businesses when you don’t apply to shifts. Once you apply to shifts, certain profile information is shared with the concerned business to increase your chances of being hired.
At the moment you are hired for a shift, we reveal some personal information to the concerned business, as businesses are required to check the identification of new workers to obey the Dutch law. Therefore we ask you to bring a valid identification document for every first shift that you are going to work at a new business.
Business
Once you have completed your profile, we check your business and if you are allowed to act on behalf of the business. No information is shared with other users of Connect.
From the moment you post a shift on Connect, certain profile information is shared with the workers to increase the chances to attract flexworkers to apply to your shift offer.
How long does Connect store your personal data?
We will process your data while you have an active Connect account. If your account is inactive for over 24 months we will anonymise or offload the personal data held for the account.
Our partner Arsenaal will process personal data for as long as is necessary for applicable law, for example tax law. When this retention period has passed, they will anonymise or offload your personal data.
