2. What personal data we collect
When you apply for a position or submit an open application, we may collect:
- Your name, email address and telephone number.
- Your CV, professional experience, qualifications and skills.
- Your LinkedIn profile, if you choose to provide it.
- Your personal introduction or motivation.
- Information you provide during interviews or other recruitment activities.

- Notes and assessments made during the recruitment process.
You do not need to provide a formal cover letter. Depending on the application route, a CV, LinkedIn profile or short introduction may be sufficient.
Please avoid including sensitive personal information, such as medical information, in your application unless it is necessary and appropriate.
3. Why we process your information
We process personal data to:
- Review applications and assess suitability for available positions.
- Communicate with candidates.
- Organise interviews and recruitment activities.
- Make recruitment decisions and, where relevant, prepare employment arrangements.
- Meet applicable legal obligations.
- Establish, exercise or defend legal claims when necessary.
We rely on applicable GDPR legal bases, including steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, legitimate interests in conducting a fair and effective recruitment process, and compliance with legal obligations.
Where we ask to retain your information for future opportunities beyond the standard retention period, we rely on your separate consent.
4. How long we keep your information
If your application is unsuccessful or you withdraw, we generally delete your recruitment information within four weeks after the recruitment process ends, unless a longer period is legally justified.
With your separate consent, we may retain your details for future opportunities for up to one year after the recruitment process ends. You may withdraw this consent at any time.
If you join Tribe, relevant information may become part of your employment records and will be handled under the applicable employee privacy arrangements.
5. Who can access your information
Access to recruitment information is restricted to authorised personnel involved in recruitment and hiring.
We may use service providers for hosting, technical support, communication and scheduling. Where required, we enter into appropriate data processing agreements and apply relevant security measures.
We do not sell candidates’ personal data.
6. How we protect your information
We apply technical and organisational measures designed to protect recruitment information against unauthorised access, loss and misuse.
These measures include restricted access and private document storage outside the publicly accessible website directory.
No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.
7. International data transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we apply the safeguards required by applicable data protection law, such as adequacy decisions or appropriate contractual safeguards.
8. Your privacy rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request:
- Access to your personal data.
- Correction of inaccurate information.
- Deletion of your personal data.
- Restriction of processing.
- Data portability, where applicable.
- Objection to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Withdrawal of consent, without affecting processing already carried out lawfully.
To exercise your rights, email hr@tribeengineering.com.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
9. Automated decision-making
We do not make recruitment decisions based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Any technology used to support recruitment must remain subject to appropriate human oversight.
10. Updates to this notice
We may update this notice when our recruitment processes, service providers or legal obligations change.
The latest version will be made available on our website.
