Direct marketing related to HOI’s services may be sent to existing customers of HOI and its affiliates, based on our legitimate interests to ensure the smooth operation and growth of our business. In any case, these legitimate interests may not and will not outweigh your privacy interests.

The User can withdraw its consent for the use of his personal data for direct marketing at any time, without justification and without charge (see Articles 7 and 12 regarding the withdrawal of your consent). 

5.3 Transfer to third parties: 

5.3.1

HOI may share the personal data it processes with other companies within the House of HR group (which includes various companies active in the field of personnel mediation and human resources). All companies within the House of HR group are located within the European Economic Area. More information regarding the House of HR group and its affiliates can be found here: https://www.houseofhr.com/companies.

If HOI shares personal data with other companies within the House of HR group, this is done in the context of cooperation within the group and/or services within the group to improve, facilitate and simplify the activities and services of HOI and the relevant company of the House of HR group, (for example ICT services, accounting, analytics and statistics, debtor management, (possible) direct marketing, etc.).

In certain cases, HOI may act as joint controller for the processing of your personal data with other companies of the House of HR group. This means that they jointly determine the purpose and means of processing your personal data. In this case, they are jointly responsible for compliance with applicable data protection laws. However, HOI remains your main point of contact, also for the exercise of your rights in relation to your personal data (for more information on the exercise of your rights and the contact details of the DPO of HOI, see Articles 7 and 12).

5.3.2

HOI may also provide the personal data to third party service providers who provide technical and operational support and to third party service providers (such as, but not limited to, lawyers, accountants, etc.) in general insofar as this is necessary for the professional services and/or contributes to the corporate governance structure and/or if they are obliged to do so on the basis of a statutory provision or a court decision.

HOI can also provide personal data to a third party employer whose Vacancy is offered through the App, it being understood that the User must first have applied for such Vacancy of the third party employer.

• The above-mentioned personal data will in any case be kept in accordance with the specific legal regulations as well as the limitation periods that oblige us to keep your personal data longer, for example to defend us against a legal claim.

8 – Security and confidentiality

We have developed security measures that are adapted technically and organisationally to avoid the destruction, loss, falsification, modification, unauthorised access or notification to third parties by mistake of personal data collected, as well as any other non- permitted processing of this data.

HOI has ensured that when it engages third parties for the processing of personal data, these third parties are bound by the same rules.

In order to process your personal data, we grant access to your personal data to our employees and independent agents. We guarantee an identical level of protection by imposing contractual obligations on these employees and independent agents. This means that our employees and independent agents are bound by confidentiality and only those for whom it is necessary for the performance of their duties have access to your personal data.

Article 3 – Applicability

3.1 Applicability Web Portal

The Web Portal facilitates the User’s registration options with the various applications offered by HOI and/or by another entity within the House of HR group. Once a User has created an account on the Web Portal, the User shall be able to log in with the same Registration Data to various other applications offered within the House of HR group.

3.2 Applicability App

Finding a job is child’s play via the App. On the basis of the Profile Data provided by the User himself, suitable Vacancies are offered to the User free of charge.

By swopping to the right, the User can apply for the relevant Vacancy, by swopping to the left he can skip the Vacancy and the next suitable Vacancy is offered.

If the User swipes to the right and applies for a particular Vacancy offered through a Powerhouse, he shall be contacted within 48 hours for an interview by an employee of the House of HR group. By applying for the Vacancy offered through a Powerhouse, the User explicitly agrees that his Profile Data are made available to the relevant Powerhouse through which the Vacancy is offered.

If the User swipes to the right and applies for a particular Vacancy offered through a third-party employer, the third-party employer shall be informed by an employee of the House of HR group of the solicitation by sharing the name, surname, telephone number and email address of the User and the User shall:

• either be contacted directly by the third-party employer offering the Vacancy; and/or
• be contacted by an employee of the House of HR group within 48 hours to follow up on the solicitation and to inquire about the User’s interest in similar jobs. In order to offer this service free of charge, the User grants his permission to HOI to share his Profile Data with other entities within the House of HR group with a view of searching similar jobs for the User.

The third-party employer who has registered on SWOP Recruiter shall, once the User has applied for the Vacancy offered by such third-party employer, be informed of this solicitation by updating the User’s Profile Data that shall appear on the portal of the third-party employer. This is a free tool offered by HOI to connect the User and the third-party employer as quickly as possible.

Also the third party-employer who has not registered on SWOP Recruiter, but whose Vacancy is made available in the App, shall be informed if a User solicitates for such Vacancy via the contact information of the third party-employer mentioned in such Vacancy. This is a service offered by HOI free of charge in order to connect the User and the third-party employer as quickly as possible. The contact details of the third-party employer mentioned in the Vacancy shall only be used for this purpose.

3.3 Applicability Web Portal and App

By registering as a User on the Web Portal/App, the User explicitly acknowledges having read and accepted these General Terms and Conditions.

These General Terms and Conditions must not contain any deletions and take precedence over all others. They can always be consulted on the Web Portal/App. Any deviation from the General Terms and Conditions must be agreed in writing with HOI.

Article 4 – Object

4.1 Object Web Portal

By registering as a User on the Web Portal, the User shall save a lot of time and effort. Registering once on this Web portal means that the User can log in with the same Registration Data to various applications offered by the House of HR group.

Every User who registers on the Web Portal must provide at least his Registration Data, so that the Web Portal can pursue its objective and this because of the legitimate interest that HOI has in the context of carrying out its activities.

In the event that the User registers with the same Registration Data on another application offered by the House of HR group, these Registration Data shall be automatically recognised, after which the User shall be asked whether his known Profile Data may be shared with the application on which he wishes to register. In addition, the User shall have to agree separately with the general terms and conditions and the privacy policy applicable to the application on which the User wishes to register.

In addition, the Web Portal offers without any obligation a number of ‘own’ applications, in particular MyTests, MyCV and MyProfile. These applications are further explained in the articles below.

In order to use the applications, the User must in any case create an account on the Web Portal.

4.2 Object App

The App developed by HOI makes the search for a suitable job easier.

Every User who wishes to use the App shall be able to provide certain Profile Data when using the App, so that the App can pursue its objective and this because of HOI’s legitimate interest in carrying out its activities.

Article 5 – Intellectual property rights – Right of use

Article 6 – Availability and registration use of the App

HOI may, without prior notice, disable access to or restrict its use to the Web Portal/App to the extent necessary for maintenance or modifications or improvements to be made to the Web Portal/App or for any other reason, without that this entails any right to compensation from the User vis-à-vis HOI.

Article 7 – Liability

HOI only commits itself to an obligation of means and does not guarantee any result with regard to the effective finding of a job by the User.

The information on the Web Portal/App is of a general nature. The information is not adapted to personal or specific circumstances of the User, and can therefore not be regarded as personal, professional or legal advice to the User.

HOI makes every effort to ensure that the information provided is complete, correct, accurate and up-to-date. HOI takes the necessary steps to protect the User’s data, which the User has provided in the Web Portal/App, as well as reasonably as possible against loss, theft and unauthorised access.

   Despite these efforts, inaccuracies may occur in the information made available.

If the information provided contains inaccuracies or if certain information on or via the Web Portal/App is unavailable, HOI will make all reasonable efforts to rectify this as soon as possible.

   However, HOI cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damage resulting from the use of the information on the Web Portal/App or for direct or indirect damage resulting from inaccuracies in the information made available.

   If you should identify inaccuracies and/or unlawful use in the information made available via the Web Portal/App, you can contact the administrator of the Web Portal/App. This can be done via the contact information stated in Article 1 of the General Terms and Conditions.

   The content of the Web Portal/App (including any links) may be adapted, modified or supplemented at any time without notice or notification. HOI does not guarantee the proper functioning of the Web Portal/App and cannot be held liable in any way for malfunctioning or temporary (un)availability of the Web Portal/App or for any form of damage, direct or indirect, that would result from accessing or using the Web Portal/App.

   HOI cannot under any circumstances be held liable to anyone, directly or indirectly, in a special or other way, for damage attributable to the use of the Web Portal/App, in particular as a result of links or hyperlinks, including without limitation, of all losses, work interruptions, damage to programs or other data on the computer system, of equipment, software or other of the User.

   The Web Portal/App may contain hyperlinks to websites or pages of third parties or refer to them indirectly. Placing links to these websites or pages in no way implies an implicit approval of their content.

   The User acknowledges and accepts that the Web Portal/App can never be perfect or 100% free of imperfections and that not all imperfections will (can) be repaired, although HOI will make all reasonable efforts to do so.

   Article 8 – The Networker

   The Networker shares a Vacancy offered through Accent with a Proposed Candidate by means of a link. Using that link, it is possible for a Proposed Candidate to apply for a Vacancy offered through Accent.

The Networker receives a Networker fee for each Proposed Candidate proposed by him and who is employed by or through Accent and this on the cumulative condition that:

• the Proposed Candidate has not previously been proposed by another Networker;
• the Proposed Candidate’s first working day for Accent or through Accent occurs within a maximum period of 6 months after the Proposed Candidate has opened and liked the Vacancy via the link in SWOP;
• the Proposed Candidate has performed at least 38 effective hours in the service of Accent or through Accent and this over a period of maximum one calendar month, regardless of whether these working hours fit within the Vacancy shared by the Networker or another open Vacancy offered through Accent;
• the Networked has correctly entered the minimum data on the Web Portal;
• the Networker is paid by means of a transfer to the specified IBAN, after which he will receive a tax certificate 281.50.

The Networker fee is equal to the amount stated in the App for the relevant Vacancy. The Networker fee is only allocated to the Vacancies offered through ACCENT, not to the Vacancies offered through another Powerhouse or through a third-party employer. If several Proposed Candidates are employed by Accent or are recruited by a customer through Accent, the Networker is entitled to a Networker fee for each of these Proposed Candidates.

The Networker is paid based on the data he has provided in the App (see also article 13 of the Privacy Policy). Neither HOI nor Accent can under any circumstances be held liable for possible erroneous pay-outs, if these could be due to incorrect personal data provided by the Networker.

Article 9 – MyTests

In the Web Portal/App, tests are offered to the User. It concerns the ‘Company Culture Test (What do I want)’ and the ‘Personality Test (Who Am I)’. These tests help both the User and the future employer to search and find the right person for the right company. One test examines what the User considers important in the workplace, while the other test tries to determine who the User is as a person. At the end of both tests, the User receives an analysis and description in PDF of what can be derived from his test results.

The User is free to choose whether or not to participate in the tests. The tests are offered via a separate application in the Web Portal/App. By participating in these tests, the User explicitly agrees that his test results can be shared with HOI and other entities within the House of HR group from which he wishes to use a particular application. In addition, a potential employer can consult the User’s MyTests results via SWOP Recruiter, it being understood that the test results are only made available to employers where the User has applied for an open Vacancy. The User has the free choice to share these tests with other third parties.

The mandatory fields must be provided so that MyCV can pursue its objective.
