Applications and privacy: your GDPR rights
Storage, erasure, access: what employers may do with your data – and what you can demand.
Your application holds sensitive data – the GDPR keeps you in control, even after rejection.
What employers may do
- Store: for the process yes, afterwards usually six months.
- Share: only with your consent – such as a talent pool.
- Reject: rejection erases nothing automatically – demand erasure.
Your rights
- Access: which data is stored? Answer within a month.
- Erasure: after process and deadlines – demand in writing.
- Withdrawal: pull consents (talent pools) any time.
Keep every application as a frozen version – proof counts in disputes.
