Recruitment Privacy Notice for Nelly GroupData privacy is important to Nelly Group (“Nelly”). We actively work to protect the personal data of all individuals who come into contact with us. The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to explain how Nelly handles personal data about you as a candidate for a job with our company and it also includes information on how we handle personal data of reference persons.

Jobylon is our partner and acts as a data processor in the recruitment process, providing and maintaining the recruitment platform on behalf of Nelly (the data controller). In this role, Jobylon processes personal data strictly in accordance with Nelly’s documented instructions and applicable data protection legislation.
