Privacy Policy for use of The Hub Platform

Last Updated: 22.03.2023

The Hub offers an online job matching service that connects prospective employees with employers in the startup process through a simple and non-binding interview request process and offers an array of free tools available for startups.

The Hub registers and uses information about you (personal data).

The Hub will not disclose your information to others without your explicit consent except as explicitly set out below.

The Hub protects your data and privacy by taking all relevant measures in accordance with applicable legislation, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the Danish Data Protection Act.

This privacy notice sets out the basis for how we look after your personal data and the privacy rights you are granted by law. 

Why do we register and use your personal data?

We register your data as an intermediary in order for you to be able to seek (employees) job opportunities or receive (companies) job applications in connection with management and development  of startup companies and for being able to provide you with tools you may use in your management of start-ups.

The Hub also uses the information for administrative purposes and to improve the Services The Hub now has and will provide in the future. The Hub may furthermore use information about your input and use of The Hub for targeted improvement of The Hub’s services. Finally, The Hub may use your data for statistical purposes.

When do we register and use your personal data?

Which personal data do we register and use? 

When you create a user profile at The Hub, The Hub will request a variety of information from you, including your name, email address and address. The Hub uses this information to make the services available to you. You may always ask The Hub to inform you of which information The Hub has registered about you. You may also at any time demand that The Hub deletes information registered about you. If it turns out that The Hub’s information about you is incorrect, you may edit the information in your profile and the information you have entered into the The Hub. If The Hub has information that you cannot correct, The Hub will correct it for you. The Hub shall simultaneously notify any recipient of this information if we have transferred such information to others with your consent. See more on your rights below
