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 to Contact You (“Contact Data”):

You may also choose to receive information about your application via SMS or WhatApp. In this case, we will collect your Personal Data (contact details, e.g. name and phone number) in order to contact you.

The legal basis for processing your contact details to send you job application reminders via Whatsapp and/or SMS is your consent. You are free to withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing from our communications.

Information to Book Travel (“Travel Booking Data”):

To provide you a beneficial experience with our recruitment process, we might schedule onsite interviews with you at our office. 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).

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

You might also choose to join one or more of our talent communities without immediately applying for a specific position with Delivery Hero. In this case, we will collect and process your Personal Data (contact details e.g. name, phone number, email address, home address, uploaded documents) in order to keep you informed of future job opportunities at Delivery Hero, to provide you with updates on our business activities, or to 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 unsubscribing from our Talent Community.

Your application will always be reviewed by a human being. We do not rely on solely automated decision-making to conduct our recruitment activities.

How is your personal data shared?

Internally, your Personal Data will only be shared with the personnel involved in the hiring process and the management of our talent communities (if applicable), such as members of the Talent Acquisition team and the respective hiring managers. If you reach the final stages of the recruitment process and/or receive an offer from Delivery Hero, your Personal Data may be subject to review by our works council.

If there is a suitable opening or talent community aligning with your profile, a Delivery Hero company may contact you to encourage you to apply for a relevant position or to receive updates on future job opportunities within that specific entity. Before reaching out to you or adding you to a talent community, we will always ask for your consent.

All Delivery Hero companies must honor this Privacy Policy as well as strict intra-group data transfer agreements. We ensure an adequate level of protection for Personal Data within the scope of the GDPR even where Personal Data is shared with a Delivery Hero company located outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

If you do not want your personal data to be shared across the Delivery Hero group, you may opt out by contacting us at [email protected]. By opting out, we ensure that only the Delivery Hero company with which you are seeking employment will receive your Personal Data.
Third parties. We do not share Personal Data about our candidates with any third parties unless we have our candidates’ specific permission to do so, or we share information with private or public authorities that will enable us to fight fraud and abuse on our network, to investigate suspected violations of law, or to fight any other suspected breach of applicable law. This also includes screening our candidates in relation to international sanctions in the context of international security threats, terrorism or money laundering. In any case, you will be notified before we share your Personal Data with any third parties.
Business transfer. As a matter of policy, we do not rent or sell Personal Data about our candidates with non-affiliated third parties unless we have specific consent to do so. In the event that our business or a division of our business is reorganized or sold and we transfer all or substantially all of our assets to a new owner, your Personal Data may be transferred to the buyer, subject to appropriate privacy safeguards.

For how long do we retain your personal data?

After your application, unless you are starting your employment with us, with your consent, we will store your Application Data for future consideration in our talent pool for a duration of 24 months after you have completed the application process (only if you have chosen to join our Talent Community). Before the end of this retention period we will contact you via email to ask you if you want to remain in our talent pool and extend your consent or if you would rather be deleted upon expiration of the initial retention period.

If you do not grant us your consent for a longer retention period, depending on the entity to which you applied to, we will store your Application Data for a period between 6 months and 1 year after we have let you know that we currently cannot offer you a position with our organization.

We keep all other Personal Data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which we obtained them and for any other permitted compatible purposes, including compliance with legal obligations in the field of employment law. Group records management schedules document the applicable minimum retention periods required by local laws.
