If you have any queries about the process or how we handle your information please contact us at jobapplicantsDSARs@ynap.com.

What will we do with the information you provide to us?

All of the information you provide during the recruitment process will be used only for the purpose of progressing your application, or to fulfil legal or regulatory requirements if necessary.

We will use the contact details you provide to us (name, address, email, telephone) to contact you to progress your application. We will use the other information you provide (normally a CV) to assess your suitability for the role you have applied for.

YOOX NET-A-PORTER GROUP  is part of a global organisation and to ensure the provision of effective and efficient services and communication throughout the Group, we may transfer your personal information internationally to our group companies and third parties that we use to provide our services. These parties have been rigorously assessed for the way in which they manage personal data and may only use your data for the exact purposes that we specify in the contract with them. Your personal data may therefore be stored and processed outside of the country where the data controller is established, for example in the countries where the other entities of the Group are based, provided that this transfer is necessary for our legitimate interests or to fulfil our obligations with you and, in any case, where appropriate safeguards have been put in place. 

We will not share any of the information you provide during the recruitment process with any third parties for marketing purposes. The information you provide will be held securely by us and/or our data processors whether the information is in electronic or physical format. 

What information do we ask for, and why?

We do not collect more information than we need to fulfil our stated purposes and will not retain it for longer than is necessary.

The information we ask for is used to assess your suitability for employment. You don’t have to provide what we ask for, but it might affect your application if you don’t.

Application stage

If you use our online application system, this will be collected by a data processor on our behalf (please see below).

We ask you for your personal details including name and contact details. We will also ask you about your previous experience, education, referees and for answers to questions relevant to the role you have applied for. Our recruitment team will have access to all of this information.

You can also apply for jobs with us via LinkedIn, using your LinkedIn profile. If you click the “Apply with LinkedIn” button, you will be referred to the LinkedIn login page.  Once you have logged in you can edit your profile and the data you want to share with us.  By submitting this data, you permit us to access your LinkedIn profile, but we will not receive any information about your LinkedIn access data.  For further details regarding LinkedIn, please see below.

Assessments

We might ask you to participate in assessment days; complete tests or occupational personality profile questionnaires; and/or to attend an interview – or a combination of these. Information will be generated by you and by us. For example, you might complete a written test or we might take interview notes. This information is held by YOOX NET-A-PORTER GROUP.

If you are unsuccessful following assessment for the position you have applied for, we will retain your details in our talent pool for a period of twenty-four months so that we can contact you should any further suitable vacancies arise.  If you would like us to delete this data, please let us know by emailing jobapplicantsDSARs@ynap.com.

What is our legal basis for processing your personal information?

The primary lawful basis for processing personal data as described in this document is to fulfil our contract or potential contract with you. There is a contractual requirement for you to provide much of the information detailed.  Without this we will be unable to fulfil our obligations which could result in our being unable to offer you a contract, or in the contract terminating.

We may also use the personal data you provide to comply with any legal requirements, or to pursue our legitimate interests (for example to check experience/qualifications, prevent fraud, for administrative purposes or for the reporting of potential crimes).

Use of data processors

Data processors are third parties who provide elements of our recruitment service for us. We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organisation apart from us. They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.

Workday

If you use our online application system, you will provide the requested information to Workday who provide this online service for us. Once you click ‘Apply’ you will be taken to Workday’s website and they will hold the information you submit but YOOX NET-A-PORTER GROUP.   will have access to it.  If you accept a final offer from us, your personnel records will be held on Workday.  They will be accessible only by authorised YOOX NET-A-PORTER GROUP   employees.

Head hunters/recruitment agencies

For senior vacancies, we sometimes advertise through recruitment agencies or use the services of specialist search organisations.  These companies will collect the application information and might ask you to complete a work preference questionnaire which is used to assess your suitability for the role you have applied for, the results of which are assessed by recruiters.

You should check the agency’s privacy notice for details of how they will handle your information.

How long do we keep your information?

If you are successful, the information you provide during the application process will be retained by us as part of your employee file for the duration of your employment plus 6 years following the end of your employment. This includes your criminal records declaration, fitness to work, records of any security checks and references.

If you are unsuccessful at any stage of the process, the information you have provided until that point will be retained for 24 months from the closure of the recruitment campaign.

Information generated throughout the assessment process, for example interview notes, is retained by us for 24 months following the closure of the recruitment campaign.

Workday will provide us with management information about our recruitment campaigns. This is anonymised information which tells us about the effectiveness of campaigns, for example, from which source we got the most candidates. This anonymised information will be retained for 6 years from the end of the campaign.
