The controller under data protection law is: Thursday Cafe Ltd.

Thursday Cafe Ltd (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a company registered in the United Kingdom.

2. General information

This data privacy statement applies solely to data collected during the online application process and is intended to inform you about how we handle your personal information.

3. Personal data collected as part of the application process

Personal data refers to any information that relates to the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual. This includes details such as your name, address, telephone number, and date of birth, as well as career-related data that could reasonably be used to identify you. Information that cannot be directly or indirectly linked to your real-life identity does not qualify as personal data.

4. Purposes of processing personal data collected from application and during the application process

If you submit an application to us electronically—whether by email or through our online form—we will collect and process your personal data for the purposes of managing the application process and preparing any necessary contractual arrangements.

By applying via our website, you are expressing interest in employment with us. In doing so, you provide personal data that we will use and store solely for the purposes of your job search and the application process.

The following data is typically collected during this process:
Name (first and last names)
E-mail address
Phone number
LinkedIn profile (optional)
Preferred pronoun (optional)
Working location

You may also upload additional documents such as a cover letter, CV, and reference letters. These documents may contain further personal details, such as your date of birth, address, or other identifiable information.

Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized personnel involved in the recruitment process.

As a general rule, your personal data is stored exclusively for the purpose of filling the specific position for which you applied.

Once the application process concludes, your data will be retained for a period of 180 days. This retention period allows us to meet legal obligations and, if necessary, to defend against potential legal claims. After this time, your data will either be deleted or anonymized. If anonymized, your information will be stripped of personal identifiers and used solely for statistical purposes, such as analyzing application trends or the gender distribution of applicants.

Additionally, we reserve the right to retain your data for up to 180 days after the conclusion of the application process in order to include it in our Talent Pool. This enables us to consider your profile for future job opportunities that may match your qualifications or interests, including internships or apprenticeships. By accepting this data privacy statement, you consent to the extended storage of your data and its inclusion in our Talent Pool.

If you are offered and accept a position with us, the personal data collected during the application process will be retained for at least the duration of your employment.
