The exchange of personal data of our candidates and our client contacts is a fundamental, essential part of this process. We collect personal data of people we think may be potential leads and/or future employees in the startups in the YES!Delft Ecosystem. This may include names, contact information, and past career experiences. Data is collected through consensually disclosed information (to our team or at events) or publicly available sources such as LinkedIn and similar social media outlets, and may be used for occasional targeted communications. This is on the grounds of our legitimate interest as a business that is premised on finding and developing the best entrepreneurial talent and is processed in accordance to regularly conducted legitimate interest assessment. We process this data for recruitment purposes (into founder companies and/or YES!Delft) only. We may use and disclose personal information about you for the purpose of assisting you in your job search. The data is not transferred to third parties.
