Privacy Policy of MaSa Europe
Your privacy matters to us. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use your information, ensuring its security, and providing you with meaningful choices. This Privacy Policy aims to clarify what information we gather, why we gather it, and how we use it. The website is operated by MaSa Europe, a private company with limited liability organised under the laws of the Netherlands, having its registered seat in Amsterdam, and its office address at Ottho Heldringstraat 3, 1066AZ in Amsterdam and registered in the Dutch trade register under number NL004563623B79
Information Collection and Use
At MaSa Europe, the type of information we collect varies based on our relationship with you, with most data being provided directly by you.
For Recruitment
We gather the information you submit when applying for a job via our website or other channels. Your application letter and resume are retained for 4 weeks post the recruitment process. After this period, we will delete your data unless you give us permission to retain it for future opportunities within our company or with clients. With your consent, we will keep the information for 1 year. You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing contact@masa-europe.com.
For Employment
We collect data necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations as your employer. This includes personal details such as name, contact information, credentials, bank details, ID, and national security number, among others required for payroll processing. Depending on the type of data, retention can extend up to 7 years after employment ends, in accordance with legal requirements.
For Service Provision
We collect information needed to fulfill our business agreement. This processing is required to execute the contract between you and us. If you use services requiring financial details or transaction completion, we collect payment and billing information. Your information will be retained as long as the contract is active and longer if required by legal obligations.
For Marketing
We collect information to operate our business and to provide information about our products. This data is often collected through third parties (see “Information Collected Through Third Parties”). This can include names and contact details such as job title, email address, and phone number.
Additionally, MaSa Europe collects information from suppliers and other business contacts, including names, job titles, phone numbers, and email addresses. This data is retained as long as the business relationship exists.

Security and Data Retention
MaSa Europe employs various security technologies and procedures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Personal data is stored on secure computer systems with limited access. Highly confidential data transmitted over the internet is protected by encryption.

Transferring Data Outside the EU/EEA
MaSa Europe may process and transfer data related to individuals in the EU/EEA through various compliance mechanisms, including data processing agreements based on EU/EEA Standard Contractual Clauses.
Non-EEA countries, including the United States, have different data protection laws. When your data is transferred from your home country to a third country outside the EEA, some of these countries may lack the same data protection safeguards as your home country.
To transfer your data outside the EEA, MaSa Europe relies on:
Standard Contractual Clauses
The European Commission’s standard contractual clauses provide safeguards for personal data transferred outside the EEA. We use these clauses where possible for such transfers, including to our affiliates.
Contractual Necessity
By signing an employment contract, a contractual necessity arises to share information with customers outside the EU/EEA, including in the United States. As we operate globally, we must transfer data internationally to provide our services.
Final Note
This Privacy Policy applies solely to MaSa Europe and its affiliates. It does not cover the practices of companies we do not own or control, or people we do not employ or manage.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will inform you of any changes.
