My personal data will be processed for the purposes of managing HBS’ recruitment related activities, which include setting up and conducting interviews and tests for applicants, evaluating, and assessing the results thereto, and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment and hiring processes. I also authorize HBS to keep my resume in the Greenhouse platform to contact me for potential future jobs positions.

I understand that my personal data will be shared with Greenhouse Software, Inc., a cloud services provider located in the United States of America which shall act as the data processor on behalf of HBS, which is the data controller.
