How long do we keep your data?

Job applications are maintained for up to two years after your initial application. This allows us to verify if we have already reviewed your profile. If you are invited for an interview, internship or stage, we may keep your information longer, as will be explained to you upon the interview, internship or stage.

The data that we receive in the context of our client relationship, or queries you may have, will be retained for the duration that is relevant for the advice, procedure or subject matter of the request, taking into account contractual or legal obligations and liability that we may have to keep records of our files.
