Privacy Notice

Introduction

The Privacy program of TalentMatched.com Inc. and its group companies (‘TalentMatched.com’, ‘we’ or ‘our’) is our code of conduct that governs our global processing of personal data.

To provide products and services ('Services') to our customers and conduct our day-to-day business operations, including the operation of our websites, we collect, use and share, or otherwise process personal data about our customers, our customers’ authorised users ('end user') and their customers, our website visitors and business contacts.

Personal data

Personal data is any information that directly identifies you, such as your name and email address, or that indirectly identifies you, for example a phone number or device identifier.

The personal data we may collect and process about you varies depending on our relationship with you. We may have a direct relationship with you because you have set up an account or consented to receive marketing communications from us, or we may have an indirect relationship with you via your relationship with one of our customers; for example, you may be their employee or their customer.

We take privacy, data protection and our legal obligations very seriously. We are committed to being transparent with you about how we use personal data. This Privacy Notice ('Notice') aims to describe our privacy practices in a clear, accessible and easy to understand way and to let you know how you can exercise your rights in relation to your data.

This Notice applies where TalentMatched.com processes personal data as a data controller, in connection with the Services we provide to our customers and the operation of our business, including our websites.  As a data controller, we determine the purpose (why) and means (how) of personal data processing and are ultimately responsible for the correct handling of your data, in accordance with applicable law.  This Notice describes our general privacy practices. Depending on how you interact with us or the specific services you use, additional privacy notices may apply. These supplemental notices will be provided to you at or before the time we collect your personal data. These supplemental notices should be read together with this Notice and are incorporated by reference.

This Notice does not apply to the Personal Data we process in relation to job applicants.

We also process personal data for most of our Services as a data processor. As a data processor, we process personal data related to our customers' employees, end users and customers on behalf of our customers to provide Services to them in accordance with their instructions. These instructions are set out in our customer agreements, Data Protection Addendum, service specific terms or through a customer's use or configuration of a product feature.  You should contact these organisations directly for information about how they process your personal data as a data controller and to exercise your rights in relation to that data.

We also ask you to create a password and name your account (or accounts, if you have more than one).

Customer Account Data - We process certain personal data to manage our relationship with you and administer you or your company’s account. This includes purchase history, names or contact information of individuals authorised to manage the TalentMatched.com account on behalf of our customer to set up, access and manage billing. We also collect personal data required to administer use of your account and the Services, and information to allow us to verify your identity for Know Your Customer or other identity verification purposes.

Customer Content - We receive and store the content of communications received from you or our customers and other personal data uploaded to the Services or generated for our customers’ use as part of the Services, which we may be authorised by you or our customer to use, where necessary for specific legitimate business purposes and in accordance with applicable law.

Payment Information - In connection with Services you pay for, we ask you to provide our payment processor with your payment method information like a credit card and your billing address. Our payment processor, acting on our behalf, gathers this so we can bill you for your use of our Services. Our payment processor will share your billing address with TalentMatched.com for this purpose.

Personalization Details - Some of our products, such as our short code service, may require you to complete an application form by providing details about your or your company’s intended use of the product to determine eligibility for these products.

Security Identifiers or SIDs - When you sign up for an account with TalentMatched.com, we’ll automatically assign you and each of your accounts a unique security ID and generate an API token for each account. We keep a record of these credentials, so we know it is you making the requests when your application makes requests to our API using these credentials.

How We Disclose Personal Data

We disclose personal data to third parties in limited circumstances to provide the Services and to otherwise run our business. Below are the different scenarios under which we may disclose your data to third parties.

Third Party Service Providers

TalentMatched.com engages third-party vendors and service providers to carry out certain personal data processing functions on our behalf. These providers are limited to only accessing or using personal data to provide services to us and must provide reasonable assurances they will appropriately safeguard the data.

TalentMatched.com Group Members

We may disclose your personal data among TalentMatched.com Group Members. TalentMatched.com Group Members will only use the information as described in this Notice.

Compliance with Legal Obligations

We may disclose your personal data to a third party if:

  • If we reasonably believe that disclosure is compelled by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a government request (including to meet national security, emergency services, or law enforcement requirements);
  • to enforce our agreements and policies.
  •  to protect the security or integrity of our Services.
  • to protect ourselves, our other customers, or the public from harm or illegal activities, including security threats, spam and fraud; or
  • to respond to an emergency which we believe in good faith requires us to disclose data to assist in preventing a death or serious bodily injury.

If TalentMatched.com is required by law to disclose any personal data about you, we will notify you or our customers of the disclosure requirement to the extent legally permitted and where TalentMatched.com determines such disclosure will not interfere with an ongoing investigation. Further, we object to information requests we do not believe were issued properly.

Business Transfers

In connection with a corporate sale, merger, reorganisation, dissolution or similar event, personal data about you may be part of the assets transferred or disclosed in connection with the due diligence for any such transaction. If required by law, we will notify you prior to such a transfer and provide you with information about any choices you may have with respect to your personal data.

Aggregated, Anonymised or De-identified Data

Aggregated, anonymised and de-identified data may be derived by TalentMatched.com from your personal data but is generally not considered personal data under data protection law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. We may use and disclose de-identified, anonymised or aggregated data to third parties. We do not disaggregate or reidentify de-identified data.

International Data Transfers

As a global organisation, we may need to transfer your personal data to TalentMatched.com affiliates, contractors, service providers and third parties in various countries and jurisdictions around the world. When we transfer your personal data, we take care to use appropriate safeguards to ensure your personal data remains protected.

Data Transfers to the United States and Elsewhere

When you use our account portal, or our other Services, your personal data may be transferred to the United States, where our primary processing facilities are located, and possibly to other countries where we or our service providers operate.

Safeguards for Data Transfers

TalentMatched.com employs appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers of personal data, as required by applicable local law.

EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF”), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“Swiss-U.S. DPF“)

As set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce TalentMatched.com is officially certified under the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and Swiss-U.S. DPF and relies on these certifications as its primary transfer mechanisms for transfers of personal data from the EU and Switzerland to the U.S. TalentMatched.com adheres to the DPF principles for onward transfers of personal data to third parties and remains liable for damages caused by third parties under the DPF unless TalentMatched.com did not cause the event giving rise to damage. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over TalentMatched.com’s compliance with the DPF. To learn more about the DPF Program, and to view our certifications, please visit the DPF website.

TalentMatched.com’s Binding Corporate Rules

TalentMatched.com has established and implemented a set of rules for internal transfers of personal data between TalentMatched.com Group Members in the European Union and TalentMatched.com Group Members elsewhere as a data controller. TalentMatched.com’s rules are a commitment by TalentMatched.com to adequately protect personal data that TalentMatched.com processes regardless of where the information resides.

Where neither the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, Swiss-EU DPF nor TalentMatched.com's rules apply, we rely instead on other data transfer mechanisms to transfer personal data outside the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, such as Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement.

APEC CBPR & PRP Participation

TalentMatched.com’s privacy practices, described in this Notice, comply with the APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules (“CBPR”) and Privacy Recognition for Processors (“PRP”) Systems. The APEC, CBPR and PRP systems provide a framework for organisations to ensure protection of personal data transferred among participating APEC economies. More information about the APEC framework can be found here.

How We Secure Personal Data

To protect personal data from loss, or unauthorised use, access or disclosure, TalentMatched.com uses reasonable and appropriate security measures designed to protect the security of your personal data both online and offline. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the personal data we collect, process and store and the current state of technology.  All systems used to support our business are governed by TalentMatched.com’s Information Security Policy and Standards which are built on industry standards and best practices such as the ISO 27001 and NIST standards. More information about our security measures can be found in our Security Overview.

How Long We Retain Personal Data

We endeavour not to retain personal data in a form which permits identification of individuals for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which that data is processed. We retain personal data in accordance with TalentMatched.com's record retention policies and guidelines as revised and updated from time to time.

TalentMatched.com will store your Customer Account Data as long as needed to provide you or our customer with the Services and to operate our business. If you ask TalentMatched.com to delete specific personal data from your Customer Account Data (see ‘Your Rights and Choices About Your Data’ below), we will honour this request, unless deleting that information prevents us from carrying out necessary business functions, such as billing for our services, calculating taxes, or conducting required audits.

Your Rights and Choices About Your Data

Depending on the data protection laws applicable to you, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data that we process as a data controller:

  • that we provide details about the categories of personal data that we collect about you, including how we collect and share it;
  • that we provide you access to, and a copy of, the personal data we collect about you;
  • that we update or correct any inaccurate personal data we have about you;
  • that we delete the personal data we have about you;
  • that we restrict processing of personal data about you;
  • that we provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used format and to transmit that information to another controller, and where feasible, transmit the information directly;
  • that we provide you with the right to object to the processing of personal data, including profiling;
  • that we provide you with a free, easy mechanism to object to use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes;
  • that you are not subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects or similarly affects your individual rights;
  • to withdraw your consent; and
  • to complain to a competent supervisory authority and/or to commence proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction.

TalentMatched.com will honour your rights subject to limitations in certain situations, such as where TalentMatched.com can demonstrate that it has a legal requirement or legitimate interest to process your data or can legitimately apply an exemption to the exercise of a right under applicable law.

If you are a US resident interested in what personal data we have disclosed lately for our business purposes, here’s a list:

  • Identifiers
  • Commercial information
  • Financial information
  • Internet or other electronic activity information
  • Geolocation information
  • Professional or employment information

By “our business purposes,” we mean that we only disclose personal data as we describe in the section "How We Disclose Personal Data" above.  Also, as described in the “How We Use Cookies & Other Tracking technologies” section below, we process personal data to deliver ads targeted to your interests on other companies’ websites and mobile apps. Some of these activities may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under certain laws. You have the right to opt out of the processing of your personal data for targeted advertising and can do so by adjusting your preferences using our Cookie Preferences Tool located on the bottom right of the TalentMatched.com website you are visiting. Any choices concerning cookies are browser and/or device specific. If you clear your cookies from your browser on any of your devices, your choices will need to be reset.

You also have the right to request the restriction of processing of your sensitive personal information. Where applicable, the respective sensitive personal information will be marked accordingly and may only be processed by us for certain purposes. At the current time, however, we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those expressed in this Privacy Notice or otherwise permitted by applicable law, and these uses cannot be limited under California law.

You may have additional rights in the EU. For example, where you believe your personal data has been transferred by an EU-based TalentMatched.com company to our US headquarters and processed by the US company you may have a right to:

  • Lodge a complaint with the TalentMatched.com company that transferred your data outside Europe;
  • Lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the same country as the TalentMatched.com company that transferred your data outside Europe; and
  • Bring a court action against the TalentMatched.com company that transferred your data outside Europe.

If TalentMatched.com processes your personal data as a data processor on behalf of a customer, we will either direct you to contact our customer to exercise your rights.

How To Exercise Your Rights and Choices

The following sections provide information about how to exercise certain rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any other rights, please contact us at [email protected]

Accessing and Controlling Account Data

As part of our Services, we may provide you with several self-service features at no additional cost within the TalentMatched.com console itself, including the ability to access your data, update any incorrect data, download a copy of your data, delete your data, or restrict the use of your data. Any other requests about your data you cannot make through these self-service tools, you can request by contacting [email protected]

Closing Your Account and Deletion

To request closure or deletion of your TalentMatched.com account, you can contact [email protected] Please be aware that closure or deletion of your TalentMatched.com account will result in you permanently losing access to your account and the data in the account. After closure of your account, certain information associated with your account may remain on TalentMatched.com’s servers in an aggregated form that does not identify you. Similarly, after you close your account, we will retain data — including personal data — associated with your account that we are required to maintain for legal purposes or for necessary business operations (see “How Long We Retain Personal  Data” section above) until it’s no longer needed.

Identity Verification

In some instances, we will need to verify your identity before honouring your request. We will generally verify your identity by asking you to provide personal data related to your recent interactions with us. Thereafter, we will process your request and inform you of any decisions we have made about your request.  Additionally, you may exercise your privacy rights through an authorised agent. If we receive your request from an authorised agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with a power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. If you are an authorised agent seeking to make a request, please contact us at [email protected]

We won’t discriminate against you or change the price of our services if you make a request, but if you ask us to delete your data, it may affect your ability to use our Services.

If you believe an underage person has signed up for a TalentMatched.com account, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line “Children”.

Automated Decision Making

Automated decision-making occurs when an electronic system uses personal data to make a decision about you, without human involvement. TalentMatched.com uses automated decision-making leveraging a variety of signals derived from records we collect or obtain from third party vendors, to help monitor, identify, and suspend accounts sending spam or engaging in other abusive or fraudulent activity.  We may also use this information to evaluate your account application and make decisions about whether to approve or decline. If your account is suspended or not approved under these circumstances, you will be notified and given an opportunity to request human review of the decision.

We may rely on other automated decision-making where:

  • We have notified you of the decision and provided you with the opportunity to request a human review of the decision
  • It is necessary to perform a contract with you and appropriate measures are in place to safeguard your rights
  • We have your consent, and we have put in place appropriate measures to safeguard your rights
