When you apply to a job on this site, the personal data contained in your application will be collected by Remote, which consists in a network of legal entities. However, for data protection purposes the entities in control of all personal data processed in connection with your application are:

  • Remote Europe Holding, B.V., a company registered in the Netherlands under number 7403597 at Landmeter 25, 1566MP, Assendelft; and
  • Remote Technology Services, Inc., a company registered in the United States of America under number 7946800 at 1209 Orange St, Wilmington, DE 19801;

collectively referred to as 'Controller'.

Controller’s data protection is handled by our Data Protection Officer, who can be contacted at dpo@remote.com. Your personal data will be processed for the purposes of managing the Controller’s recruitment related activities, which include setting up and conducting interviews and tests for applicants, evaluating and assessing the results thereto, and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment and hiring processes. Such processing is legally permissible under Art. 6(1)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR) as necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller, which are the solicitation, evaluation, and selection of applicants for employment.

Your personal data will be stored with Greenhouse Software, Inc., a cloud services provider located in the USA and engaged by the Controller to help manage its recruitment and hiring process on the Controller’s behalf. Accordingly, if you are located outside of the United States, your personal data will be transferred to the United States once you submit it through this website. Because the European Commission has determined that United States data privacy laws do not ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data collected from EU data subjects, the transfer (to both Greenhouse and Persona) will be subject to additional appropriate safeguards in the form of pre-approved standard contractual clauses. You can obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses by contacting us at dpo@remote.com.

If your application is successful, the Controller will make an offer for employment which may be conditional on you passing a few additional checks, such as an ID verification check and employment history check. We conduct these checks via Veremark Ltd (United Kingdom) and Persona Identities, Inc. (USA). You will receive an additional notice if and when the Controller requires these checks.

Your personal data will be retained by the Controller as long as the Controller determines it is necessary to evaluate your suitability for the role you are applying for, but in any event for no longer than a year. Under the GDPR, you have the right to request access to your personal data, to request that your personal data be rectified or erased, and to request that processing of your personal data is restricted. You also have the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
