The Student Promise is seen as the ‘Data Controller’. It has subsidiary offices in five countries: the Netherlands, Spain, Romania, Turkey and India. The current generation of students and starters look at their careers in a different way. To them, a job is much more than a job; it’s a way to realise personal ambitions. This can be achieved by developing your personal skills, by making money or by meeting new people. The Student Promise guides you on this journey, helping you understand your best personal and cultural fit and allowing you to apply for jobs with different companies worldwide. The Student Promise is thus the enabler for your personal ambitions.
The Student Promise collects different categories of personal data about you, sometimes dependent on which stage in your journey you are in.
We collect your first and last name, email address, postal address, phone number and other similar contact data.
We collect information needed for invoicing, such as your bank account number or credit card information and if needed additional information such as BIC numbers.
We collect your education data such as university, year of study as well as grade you achieved.
We collect data about current and previous employment. We also collect data about your preferred employers and employer types.
We collect your assessment outcomes. We collect data about you such as your age, gender, country and preferred language. We collect data about you, your interests and hobbies and other elements to help build a digital profile.
We collect sensitive personal data which may include details of your health condition. This is for the purposes of fairer assessment. Providing this information is entirely optional and it will not affect the scores or how your profile is presented. We only collect sensitive data with explicit consent.
We collect passwords and similar security information used for authentication and account access and data about your device and how you and your device interact with The Student Promise products.
You may choose to login to the TSP platform using social media profiles, such as Facebook or LinkedIn. You may also choose to share your journey through social media, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. The Student Promise obtains your personal data from you directly, though in some cases an intermediary is used (for example for assessments).
The Student Promise aims to help you on your journey to a dream job. In order to do so, we need to know some things about you. We need contact information in order to stay in touch and keep you up to date about your progress. We need financial information in order to invoice your subscription. We need information about your personality, likes and dislikes, in order to effectively match you with different companies and cultural environments. We may need sensitive information, including information about your health, in case this may affect your ability to take and complete assessments, or may impact your cultural fit. The personal data is processed based on our contractual relationship (including the pre-contractual phase), a legal obligation, our legitimate interest or your consent.
Depending on the exact services you choose to use, we will collect personal data about you. We will use this personal data to provide you with the desired service, for example a personality assessment. The personal data gathered throughout your journey is used to build a profile, to help match you to suitable employers and opportunities. Additionally, we may use your information to send you e-mails or push notifications, but only if you want us to. If you don’t, you can manage your contact preferences in your own profile.
Please see below to find out more about the way your personal data is used for particular services:
The Student Promise will store and use your personal data throughout your journey. Once your journey has been completed and your contract with TSP has ended, we will only store your personal data in line with our internal retention policies and legal requirements. This means for example, that your financial information (in the Netherlands) will be stored for up to 7 years, whilst we will only retain your other account information for one year after your subscription ends.
The Student Promise is hosted on Microsoft Azure; this has been allocated to the Western Europe zone and more specifically Amsterdam.
The Student Promise has several partners who integrate with the platform at different levels.

In this case, the decision to apply is entirely up to you. As The Student Promise operates worldwide, data may be transferred outside of the European Union/European Economic Area. In principle all data is stored in the Netherlands by our hosting company and is accessible for use by our office in the United Kingdom, as well as our employees in offices worldwide. In order to ensure adequate safeguards, Standard Contractual Clauses are agreed with all our offices. For international transfers in relation to applications, these are based on the need for the transfer to occur, in order to provide you with the services which you have obtained from us, based on the contractual agreement we have with you. In this case you are in control of which companies you will apply to and where these companies are located.
The Student Promise has taken both organisational and technical measures to protect your personal data. Organisational measures include an internal privacy policy, a data subject rights procedure, data breach procedure, DPIA procedure and awareness activities and training for employees.
Technical measures include the following: The exchange of information between the user and the TSP is exchanged via a secure and encrypted HTTPS (TLS 1.3) connection. The information that is exchanged within the TSP is also exchanged over a secure and encrypted HTTPS (TLS 1.3) connection.
The platform has several security zones, so that even if one of the layers is penetrated, the other layers are not affected. User accounts and profile data are protected and stored in encrypted form in Microsoft Azure B2C. Microsoft Azure B2C offers highly proactive denial-of-service, security and intrusion measures to secure user data. This data is stored in encrypted form for each individual user.
Functional data resulting from the user's interactions with the TSP Platform is also stored in encrypted databases but is not stored in encrypted form per user. The Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) is used, which ensures that exploits, vulnerabilities and malicious actions are analysed and stopped. This is not a guarantee that malicious actions are prevented, however significant measures at the platform level are required to achieve this.
All interactions between the TSP Website, TSP Apps and integration with Level-1 partners is done through the Azure API Gateway. A WAF is used via this API Gateway, just like with the TSP Website. Only authorised users can access authorised information with party-provided authorisations. Access to the PowerBI dashboards is only possible with a personal account of the TSP employee. These accounts are not linked to the TSP Website and are stored in a separate Azure Active Directory identity provider. Access to data can be protected at user group level by means of roles and rights.
As The Student Promise wants to ensure all our users are treated equally, regardless of geographical location, we have decided to apply the rights as included in the GDPR to all our users. This means that you have a right to: Access your personal data and obtain a copy of the data we hold; Rectify any data which is incorrect, outdated or incomplete; Restrict processing of your data awaiting correction or a decision; Ask us to delete your personal data; Object to the use of your personal data (in some cases); Withdraw your consent (when applicable); Obtain your data in a machine-readable format to transfer it to another service provider; Not be subjected to automated decision-making. It is possible that in your country additional rights exist with regards to your data (for example, being allowed to indicate what happens with it if you die). If this is the case, you can send us a request to implement this right and we will honour your requests.
If you have any questions for example about your subscription or the platform, concerns, complaints or if you want to exercise your data subject rights, you can contact The Student Promise via support@thestudentpromise.c
