If you are not successful, we may still keep your application to allow us to consider you for other suitable openings within LoopMe in the future unless you request that we delete your application. We will not retain your application for more than 3 years.
4. Who we share your personal information with and transfers abroad
We take care to allow access to personal information only to those who require such access to perform their tasks and duties, and to third parties who have a legitimate purpose for accessing it. Whenever we permit a third party to access personal information, we will implement appropriate measures to help ensure the information is used in a manner consistent with this Notice and to maintain the security and confidentiality of the information.
Transfers to other Group Companies
Recruitment data is processed in the UK but we may share your personal information with our Group Companies in other parts of the world (where relevant to the role) in order to administer our recruitment processes and store data. Our Group Companies are currently: LoopMe Inc. (US), LoopMe LLC (Ukraine) and LoopMe Pte Limited (Singapore) (together “the Group Companies”). Our primary servers are in Frankfurt, Germany.

In some cases, the sharing described above may result in your personal information being transferred internationally, including from the United Kingdom and/or the European Economic Area (EEA) to a country outside it. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).
Specifically, our primary servers are located in Germany, and our Group Companies and third party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.
However, we have taken several measures to help ensure that your personal information will be protected in accordance with this Notice. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our Group Companies, which require all group companies to protect personal information they process from the EEA or the UK in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
5. Legal basis for processing personal information
In the EEA or the UK we must satisfy a "legal basis" for processing your information. Our legal basis for collecting and processing your personal information as part of the recruitment process depends on the personal information concerned and the purpose for which we use it. We normally rely on the following:
- our legitimate interests (as summarised above in Section 3) - which are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, particularly taking into consideration the safeguards that we put in place, for example, those outlined in Section 4 above;
- to comply with applicable legal obligations such as immigration and/or employment laws and regulations;
- to take steps prior to entering an employment contract with you, where you are considered for employment;
- where we have your consent to do so. Note, where we have requested your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time;
- to protect the rights and legitimate interests of LoopMe or its Group Companies, our employees, applicants and others, as required and permitted by applicable law.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
If you have questions or need further information about the legal basis for which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the details provided in Section 9 below.
6. Data retention periods
Personal information will be stored in accordance with applicable laws and kept as long as needed to carry out the purposes described in this Notice or as otherwise required by applicable law. Generally, this means your personal information will be retained:
- in accordance with the retention periods set out in the LoopMe Employment Contracts and Employee Handbooks (where you become our employee); or
- for a period of up to 3 years after confirmation that your application was unsuccessful unless you request that we delete your application.
