LinkedIn will authenticate you and share your name, email address and profile picture with Greenjobs.nl. You have the option to disable the connection between Greenjobs.nl and LinkedIn at any time. It's good to know that LinkedIn could set cookies on your device when you log in with your LinkedIn profile.

    Did you find an amazing vacancy on Greenjobs.nl and you want to apply? We will probably ask you to upload or fill in your name, email address, telephone number, gender, cover letter and resume. We store this information. In some cases you will be redirected to the employer's website in order to apply to the vacancy. If this is the case, we will not store any additional data that you supply.

    We process your data so that you can create an account (and we can verify it), respond to vacancies, to help you with any questions or requests you may have and in general to be able to contact you if this would be relevant for the performance of our services. As a registered user you may opt to receive job alerts by email. We will process your data in order to send job alerts by email.

    Please note that we will forward your details to the relevant employer when you apply to a vacancy. If you want to request the employer to delete or modify your application, you must make such a request directly to the employer.

    We sometimes receive messages on our social media channels. We will process your data in order to respond to your message. We will of course remove this information once your question or request has been dealt with.

    Employers who create an account

      In most cases we process the personal data of employers because this is necessary for executing a contract. We need some information in order to enter into an agreement with you and to be able to execute it. We also use your information to maintain our business relationship, for example to inform you about (changes in) our services, to send an invoice, to respond to a request, question or complaint, or to contact you with an offer.
