What type of personal data do we process and how do we use it?  

Information you actively provide to us when you apply for a job (“Application Data”): 

We primarily receive information when you use the contact form, subscribe to job alerts or apply for a job on the Website. When you use the Website we may require you to provide us with certain Personal Data such as name, email address, phone number or other contact data in order to contact you or to answer your queries. While applying for a job you may also be required to provide your resume/CV, educational certificates or a cover letter which may contain additional Personal Data. The exact data fields can be found on the application form on the Website.  

We need your Application Data for the solicitation, evaluation, and selection of candidates for employment with Delivery Hero. Thus, your Application Data will be processed for the purposes of managing our recruitment related activities, which include setting up and conducting interviews or, in certain cases, background checks, and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment and hiring processes. With your consent, we will also use your Application Data to maintain our talent pool and to contact you in the future with job offers. Our legal basis for processing your Application Data are the legal provisions in your jurisdiction permitting the data processing or the purpose of performance of a contract or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering such a contract (e.g. processing your application for employment with us). 

We kindly ask you not to send us special categories of personal data without first granting your explicit consent for us to process such data (e.g. ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs). We do not need this information for the application process. 

Information collected during cognitive assessments in the course of the application process (“Assessment Data"): 

With regard to our recruitment of programmers and technical engineers, please be aware that we might conduct certain online coding skill tests to assess your suitability for employment with Delivery Hero by asking you to solve a programming problem; these might include live-coding assessments. The tests will be conducted through an online assessment platform operated by one of our third-party providers. To invite you to do these online assessments, we will send you a direct link once you have applied for a position with Delivery Hero. You will learn more about the identity of our service provider before you start the assessment. We will process Assessment Data for the sole purpose of assisting our recruiters in determining if you will be successful in the role for which you have applied and evaluating and assessing the results of your test. We will not use the assessment result for any automated decision-making. Our legal basis for processing your Assessment Data are the legal provisions in your jurisdiction permitting the data processing or the purpose of performance of a contract or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering such a contract (e.g. processing your application for employment with us). 

Information gathered from third parties (“Third-Party Candidate Data”): 

To be able to offer you a position with our organization, we may process Personal Data collected not directly from yourself but from third parties. If this is the case, we will send you a notification without undue delay after adding your data to our systems, e.g. by email (unless you have already received such a notification from the third party who transmitted the data to us). Your Personal Data will either be obtained from publicly available sources (e.g. career networks such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed or others; we do not collect data from social media) or provided to us by someone who referred you for potential employment, such as a Delivery Hero employee, a recruitment agency or a headhunter. In some instances, if required to verify your information, we will initiate a limited verification process for the documentation and references you have provided by double checking your information with former employers or educational institutions. If we conduct such checks we will notify you separately in writing prior to launching the assessment. 

Your Personal Data will be processed solely for the purpose of managing our recruitment-related activities, which include setting up and conducting interviews and tests for candidates, evaluating and assessing the results thereto, and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment and hiring processes. Such processing is legally permissible as it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Delivery Hero which are the solicitation, evaluation, and selection of candidates for employment.  

Information Collected During Your Registration for Our Talent Community (“Talent Community Data”): 

You might also choose to join our Talent Community without immediately handing in your application for a specific position with Delivery Hero (either by creating a job alert or using the chat bot on the Website). In this case, we will collect your Personal Data (contact details e.g. name, phone number, email address, home address, uploaded documents). We will process this data in order to keep you up-to-date for future job opportunities at Delivery Hero, provide you with updates on our business activities or ask you for feedback to let us know about your experience with Delivery Hero. The open positions are advertised through newsletters, through direct emails from our recruitment team and the general follow up messages as part of our recruitment process. If you sign up for one of our talent events (either in one of our offices or online), we will process your Talent Community Data for the aforementioned purposes as well as for the organization of the event. 

The legal basis for the processing of your Talent Community Data is your consent. You are free to withdraw your consent at any point in time by de-registering from our Talent Community.

In these cases, we might require certain information from you in order to be able to book travel arrangements, such as your name, email address, date of birth, passport number and other travel documents. 

Our legal basis for processing your Travel Booking Data are the legal provisions in your jurisdiction permitting the data processing or the purpose of performance of a contract or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering such a contract (e.g. arranging interviews necessary for the further processing of your application for employment with us).
