Privacy statement
Last updated 14 August 2026
This statement explains what personal data YOUNG Campus collects when you visit this website or apply to the programme, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what you can ask us to do with it.
We have written it in plain language on purpose. If anything is unclear, write to us and we will explain it properly.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The controller of your personal data is:
The Young Hospitality Investments B.V., trading as YOUNG Campus
Parkstraat 183
2514 JH The Hague, The Netherlands
Chamber of Commerce (KvK): 68627785
For anything relating to your personal data, contact [email protected].
2. What we collect, and why
When you apply
The application form asks for your first and last name, email address, phone number, country of residence, date of birth, your current situation, optionally a link to your LinkedIn, portfolio or CV, and your motivation for joining. We also record the moment you submitted the form.
We use this to assess your application, to contact you about it and to run the recruitment process.
Legal basis: your consent, which you give by ticking the box on the form, and the steps taken at your request before entering into an agreement (Article 6(1)(a) and 6(1)(b) GDPR).
When you visit the website
Our hosting provider records standard technical data for every request: your IP address, the time, the page requested, and your browser and device type. This is used to serve the site, to keep it available and to defend it against attacks and abuse.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Visitor statistics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages they read. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint your device and does not track you across websites. The numbers we see are aggregated and cannot be traced back to you as an individual.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
This website sets no cookies. Not for analytics, not for advertising, not for anything else. That is also why you were not asked to accept any. See our cookie statement.
3. Who else sees your data
We do not sell your data and we do not share it for advertising. We do rely on a small number of service providers who process data on our behalf under a processing agreement:
| Provider | What they do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Google Workspace) | Stores applications in a spreadsheet and delivers our email | EU, with standard contractual clauses for any transfer outside the EEA |
| Cloudflare | Hosts this website and provides cookieless visitor statistics | Global network, EU data protection terms and standard contractual clauses |
Within YOUNG, your application is seen only by the people involved in recruitment for the programme.
4. How long we keep it
- If we do not offer you a place: we delete your application four weeks after the process ends, unless you give us permission to keep it longer, in which case we keep it for one year and get in touch when a new cohort opens.
- If you join the programme: your application becomes part of your participant file and is kept for as long as the programme runs and for the period required afterwards by law and by our agreement with you.
- Website technical logs: kept by our hosting provider for a short period, in the order of days, and then deleted automatically.
5. Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
- correct anything that is wrong or incomplete;
- delete your data;
- restrict what we do with it, or object to us using it;
- send your data to you or to someone else in a portable format;
- withdraw your consent at any time, which does not affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
Write to [email protected] and we will respond within one month. If you are not happy with how we handle it, you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
6. If you are under 16
If you are younger than 16, we need your parent or guardian to agree before you send us an application. Ask them to email [email protected] so we can record their permission alongside your application.
7. How we protect your data
This website is served over HTTPS only. Applications are transmitted encrypted and stored in access-controlled accounts inside our Google Workspace, available only to the people who need them. We review who has access whenever someone joins or leaves the team.
8. Automated decisions
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling to assess applications. Every application is read by a person.
9. Changes to this statement
If we change how we handle personal data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If the change is significant and affects a live application, we will tell you directly.
