  1. The information we collect automatically may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser type, broad geographic location (e.g., country or city-level location), and other technical information.
  2. We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our website or Platform, including the pages accessed and links clicked.

CoRecruit can deliver a more efficient and personalized service for each user by relying on cookies, web beacons, and similar technology. Additionally, these technologies may allow CoRecruit to monitor traffic patterns, Services usage, and session information to make the Services more useful and effective.
  4. We may collect and store this data and combine this data with other personal data provided to CoRecruit.
3. Information CoRecruit obtains from Third-Party Sources
  1. CoRecruit Services may contain links to third-party sites. CoRecruit is not responsible for the privacy policies, practices, or content of sites owned by others that you may link to or that may be linked from the Services. Any Personal Information you provide directly on third-party sites or services (including communications between Candidates or Employees, Employers through the Service, Proctor) is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party’s policies governing privacy and security.
  2. We are not responsible for the content, privacy, security practices, or policies of third-party sites or services to which links are displayed on the Service. We encourage you to learn about third parties’ privacy and security policies before providing them with your personal information.
  3. We may receive personal information about you from third-party sources, but only where we have checked that these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal information to us.
  4. The information we collect from third parties includes general geo-location information to identify the state and country you reside in or contacted the third-party source. We use the information we receive from these third parties to ensure inquiries and other requests are routed to the appropriate team for processing as promptly as possible.

We process this data to update, expand, and analyze our existing marketing records, identify new customers, create more tailored advertising or website experiences and send marketing emails.
  7. If CoRecruit collects any other personal data from you, we will explain the purposes at the time we collect it.

Article 4. Non-personal information

Non-Personal Information (“NPI”) is the information CoRecruit collects through our website or platform that does not identify you by name or as an individual person. It may include information like the type of web browser software your computer uses, pages your computer visited, date and time your computer accessed our pages, and personal information that has been de-identified.
CoRecruit uses NPI in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve our Users, customize the Services, and improve the content and functionality of the Services. We also research our user demographics and behavior based on Personal Information and the NPI we have collected. This research will be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and this aggregate does not identify any individual and therefore is considered and treated as NPI under this Privacy Policy.
CoRecruit uses third-party tools which use cookies to track NPI about traffic and visitors to Our Services in the aggregate to compile statistical reports about the activity on the Services and benchmark the Services. This information is used by us to improve the Services and their functionality.

Article 5. Use of information

CoRecruit uses the data we collect about you to provide you with CoRecruit websites, services, and support. For example, if you provide data to us in a “Contact Us” form, we will use your data to respond to the request.
CoRecruit uses your personal data and information about your activity on our websites to contact you for marketing purposes in accordance with your marketing preferences, including telemarketing calls, and to send marketing emails that we believe may be of interest to you, such as product announcements, newsletters, educational materials, and details on upcoming events. We also use it to send administrative information, such as notices related to products, services, or policy changes.
CoRecruit uses the data we collect to understand how our websites and services are being used and to make improvements. For example, we may solicit your feedback about your experience using our services, and ways that we can improve those services. Additionally, we use questions or comments posted on CoRecruit Support to enrich the content or help guide future enhancements to our products and services.
Similarly, the CoRecruit Platform gathers information for troubleshooting and improvement. We use third-party services to view aggregated information about end-user usage and interactions. CoRecruit minimizes or masks the information sent to third parties (such as encoding the data).
CoRecruit may use your information to diagnose website technical problems, as well as to prevent, detect, mitigate, and investigate potential security issues, as well as a fraudulent or illegal activity.
CoRecruit also may use your data to personalize your experience on our websites and platform. CoRecruit or our service providers use website tracking technologies to display products, features, or content that are tailored to your interests and to present advertising on other sites.
We use your information to provide the services you have requested to create and maintain your accounts and keep a check for unauthorized activity on your accounts. We also use it to communicate with you about the products you are currently using, your customer support requests, updates and new products you may like, chances for you to give us feedback, and policy updates. We analyze the information we collect to understand user needs and to improve our websites and services. We limit access to your personal information to our employees and contractors who have a legitimate need to use it.
We collect Candidate’s Personal Information to provide Services to Employers to assist them in evaluating such Candidates for employment.

You can decline certain kinds of information usage by not providing the information in the first place or opting out later. You can also disable cookies to prevent your browser from giving us information, but certain website features may not work properly if you do so.
CoRecruit keeps your Personal Information for as long as it is required and permitted for the purposes according to applicable Privacy Regulations. When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will delete, anonymize, or isolate your information, whichever is appropriate.

Article 6. Disclosure of data

Unless otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy, CoRecruit will only share your Personal Information with third parties under the following circumstances:

CoRecruit may disclose data and aggregate anonymous information to other users of the Services (e.g., information of Candidates to Employers) and with CoRecruit affiliates, third-party service providers, or vendors contracted to provide services on our behalf. These third-party service providers or vendors may use data we provide to them only as instructed by CoRecruit. In such cases, those third parties may have access to your Personal Information and will not use it for any other purposes.
CoRecruit may offer the following solely or jointly with third parties or partners: job postings, webinars, events, whitepaper downloads, or other services related to CoRecruit offerings or services. We may share your contact information and interests in these offerings or services with these approved third parties to communicate with you about CoRecruit.
CoRecruit may disclose aggregate anonymous information to business partners, merchants, advertisers, investors, potential buyers, and other third parties if we deem such disclosure, in our discretion, to have sound business reasons or justification, like (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal processes; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce the website Terms and Conditions; and/or (d) act to protect the interests of our users or others.
If CoRecruit goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personal data may be among the assets transferred. CoRecruit reserves the right to disclose and transfer user information, including Personal Information, in connection with a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, acquisition, or similar transaction. In such cases, you will be notified via email or a prominent notice on our website or Platform of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Information and any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information.
CoRecruit may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting website or platform users who violate our rules or engage in harmful (or illegal) behavior toward other users.
CoRecruit may transfer and disclose information about our users, including Personal Information, to enforce this Privacy Policy and the other rules about your use of this website, protect our rights or property, protect someone else’s safety or welfare, or comply with a law or regulation, court order or other legal processes. In such a scenario, your rights to amend or delete the data may require legal approvals.
CoRecruit does not sell personal data that we collect or process under this Privacy Statement to third parties.

Article 7. Processing of information

CoRecruit’s legal grounds for collecting, storing, and processing your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy fall into the following four categories:

Informed Consent
In some cases, we ask you for your consent to process your personal data, such as when we need your consent for marketing purposes. You can withdraw your consent at any time, which will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your consent was withdrawn. If you would like to withdraw your consent, you can do so by sending an email to privacy@corecruit.com.
Legitimate Interest
We process certain data for the legitimate interests of CoRecruit, our Users, our affiliates, or our partners. These legitimate interests include, for example, contacting you to provide support or sending you marketing information (subject to applicable law); detecting, preventing, and investigating illegal activities and potential security issues; and maintaining and improving the Website and mobile applications. We will rely on our legitimate interests for processing personal data only after balancing our interests and rights against the impact of the processing on individuals.
Performance of a Contract
Sometimes we process personal data to perform our obligations under an agreement with you. For example, we use the payment information you provide when you register for an event to process your payment.
Other Legal Bases
In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to process your personal data, such as in response to a court or regulator order. We also may need to process your personal data to protect vital interests, or to exercise, establish, or defend legal claims.
We are committed to delivering the best data privacy practices for you by being in compliance with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, LGPD, CCPA, and PDPA for general users. The rights provided hereunder apply to you according to the Data Protection laws of the country in which you are based. We collect information under the direction of our Users and have no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal information it processes. Please contact the Recruiting Organization (CoRecruit Client) you were part of the recruitment if you would like to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, or exporting your Personal Data. We will extend our support to our Clients in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
We will retain personal information we process on behalf of our Clients for as long as needed to provide Services to our Clients. We will retain this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Article 8. General data protection regulation (GDPR)

For Clients with accounts located in the European Economic Area, all processing of Personal Data, is performed in accordance with privacy rights and regulations following the regulations set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
GDPR defines Data Controllers as entities that determine the purposes for personal data processing (“Data Controllers”). Data Controllers decide ‘why’ and ‘how’ the personal data should be processed. The data processor processes personal data only on behalf of the Data Controller.
CoRecruit is a data processor and processes data for its Client who are Data Controllers. The Data Controllers specify the kind of data required from the data subject. CoRecruit acts as a mediator between the Data Controller and the data subject by collecting the specified data before or during the assessment and then processing it as per Data Controller’s instructions.

  You have the right to update the information we hold about you or to rectify any inaccuracies. Based on the purpose for which we use your information, you can instruct us to add supplemental information about you to our database.
3. Right to erasure:
  You have the right to request that we delete your personal information in certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected.
4. Right to restriction of processing:
  You may also have the right to request to restrict the use of your information in certain circumstances, such as when you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
5. Right to data portability:
  You have the right to transfer your information to a third party in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, in circumstances where the information is processed with your consent or by automated means.
6. Right to object:
  You have the right to object to using your information in certain circumstances, such as using your personal information for direct marketing.
7. Right to complain:
  You have the right to complain to the appropriate supervisory authority if you have any grievance against the way we collect, use, or share your information. This right may not be available to you if there is no supervisory authority dealing with data protection in your country.
8. If you make a request or would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at legal@corecruit.com

Article 9. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), among other rights, California consumers have the right to:

2. Request that a business deletes any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected.

If you make a request or would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at legal@corecruit.com.

Article 12. Data integrity and security

CoRecruit uses technical and organizational measures that provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal data. However, the security of information transmitted through the internet can never be guaranteed. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your password or other forms of authentication involved in accessing password-protected or secured resources.
CoRecruit maintains reasonable and appropriate security measures to maintain the accuracy and integrity of Personal Information.
CoRecruit has implemented physical and technical safeguards to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
CoRecruit restricts access to your Personal Data to those employees of ours, our affiliates, and third-party service providers who reasonably need it to provide products or services. We have implemented commercially reasonable electronic, physical and procedural safeguards designed to help protect against the loss, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction of the information under our control. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
Certain features of our Website or Platform may require you to use an access code, password, or similar unique identifier. You are responsible for protecting the secrecy of your account information. CoRecruit recommends that you use the latest browsers to take advantage of advances in security technology. Although we strive to protect your encrypted information, no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure. There is some risk associated with any data transmission, including the risk that personal information may be intercepted in transit. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us at legal@corecruit.com.

Article 13. International data transfers

CoRecruit operates as a global business and your personal information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries other than the country in which you reside or outside your jurisdiction. Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in different countries around the world where we, third-party service providers, and partners operate including in the USA, the European Union/European Economic Area, Africa, and Asia. This means that when we collect your personal information, we may process it in any of these locations.
These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. However, CoRecruit has taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws. For example, if we transfer personal data from the EEA to a country outside it, we will implement an appropriate data transfer solution such as entering EU standard contractual clauses with the data importer or taking other measures to provide an adequate level of data protection under EU law. Alternatively, certain of our third-party service providers and partners may rely on self-certification to the Privacy Shield Framework for transfers of personal information. The Standard Contractual Clauses and the Privacy Shield Framework require non-EEA companies to protect EEA personal information they process in accordance with European Union data protection law.

Article 14. Data retention

CoRecruit will retain your personal data as long as required for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, comply with any laws or regulations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
CoRecruit may retain your data longer for a legitimate business interest where the business benefit is not outweighed by your personal rights and freedoms, such as maintaining suppression lists, preventing abuse, if required in connection with a legal claim or proceeding, to enforce our agreements, for tax, accounting, or to comply with other legal obligations. Data entered into a CoRecruit service is retained in accordance with any applicable agreement between CoRecruit and its Client.
When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will delete or anonymize your information from our active databases. We will also securely store the information and isolate it from further processing on backup discs until deletion is possible.

Article 15. Third-party certifications

CoRecruit adheres to the principles of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, although CoRecruit no longer relies on the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as a legal basis for transfers of personal data in light of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-311/18.
CoRecruit’s privacy practices, described in this Privacy Policy, comply with the APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules System. The APEC CBPR system provides a framework for organizations to ensure the protection of personal data transferred among participating APEC economies.

Article 16. Changes to the Privacy Policy

CoRecruit reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time.
CoRecruit may modify this Policy to reflect changes in the way we collect, use, or disclose information, or to reflect changes in privacy laws, regulations, and/or industry standards.
Changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on our website. If we propose to make any material changes, we will provide notice on this page prior to the change becoming effective. You will not receive email notification of minor changes to the Privacy Policy.
We encourage our Clients to review this Policy when accessing the Services.
Continued use after the effective date of changes to the Privacy Policy will be deemed to be your agreement to the modified Privacy Policy.
