Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur: we will notify Users via email - within 7 business days, or we will notify the Users via in-site notification - within 7 business days. In data breach cases covered by GDPR we notify within 72 hours the Users when required and the data controllers (when we act as data processor) or the authorities (when we act as data controller).

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

Privacy Shield Framework Compliance

Our Company complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce (DOC) regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EU and Switzerland to the US. Our Company has certified to the Department of Commerce (DOC) that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles (“the Principles”). If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles (excluding where GDPR is applicable), the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. Information on Privacy Shield may be found and our certification may be checked at https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

We provide follow up procedures (self-assessment) for verifying that the attestations and assertions we make about our Privacy Shield privacy practices are true and those privacy practices have been implemented as represented and in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles. Such verification shall indicate that our published privacy policy regarding personal information received from the EU or Switzerland is accurate, comprehensive, prominently displayed, completely implemented and accessible and conforms to the Privacy Shield Principles. A statement verifying the self-assessment is signed by a corporate officer or other authorized representative of the Company at least once a year and made available upon request by individuals or in the context of an investigation or a complaint about non-compliance. We shall retain our records on the implementation of our Privacy Shield privacy practices and make them available upon request in the context of an investigation or a complaint about non-compliance to the independent body responsible for investigating complaints or to the agency with unfair and deceptive practices jurisdiction.

If we cease to exist as a separate legal entity as a result of a merger or a takeover, we shall notify the Department of this in advance where the notification shall also indicate whether the acquiring entity or the entity resulting from the merger will continue to be bound by the Privacy Shield Principles by the operation of law governing the takeover or merger or elect to self-certify its adherence to the Privacy Shield Principles or put in place other safeguards, such as a written agreement that will ensure adherence to the Privacy Shield Principles. If we leave the Privacy Shield for any reason, we shall remove all statements implying that the Company continues to participate in the Privacy Shield or is entitled to the benefits of the Privacy Shield.

• Records of your interaction with the Website (system logs);
• Actions taken on the Website, including date and time of use, clicks, page views, the amount of time you spend on each page, and search queries;

• Identifying information such as your name, e-mail address, etc. when you send us a message or open a support ticket.

Data integrity and purpose limitation

Personal data we process are limited to the information that is relevant for the purposes of processing. We shall not process personal information in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for those purposes, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal data are reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current, as long as we retain such information. Information may be retained in a form identifying or making identifiable the individual only for as long as it serves a purpose of processing.

Data Retention

How long we retain your Personal Data depends on the type of data and the purpose for which we process the data. We will retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Security of processing

We take all reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into due account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal data.

Disclosure of personal information to third parties

When acting as data controller under GDPR, the Company may forward your personal data to third parties but we minimize the amount of personal data we disclose to what is relevant and necessary to accomplish the specified purpose. We do not send your personal data to third parties for their own marketing and advertising purposes without your consent.

Your personal data may be received by the following recipients in their capacity of data controllers or processors:

• Subcontractors of the Company acting as data processors (Job Stockbots operations and maintenance).
• Clients of the Company (employers). The core function of our App allows communication between employers and job seekers via Job Stockbots. It is impossible for job seekers to apply for a job position unless they send their personal data to the respective employer.
• Telecoms and third-party messaging applications. Job Stockbots can operate in two system environments - browsers or messaging applications. If a candidate chooses to use messaging applications, then his personal data are processed by these messaging applications (or telecommunication operators in case of SMS service) which provide internet connectivity required by the messaging applications. Presently, Job Stockbots can be used with the following messaging applications:
  • SMS
  • Viber
  • WhatsApp
  • Facebook Messenger
• Twilio. This is a cloud communications platform as a service (CPaaS) which allows to make and receive phone calls, send and receive text messages, and perform other communication functions using its web service APIs. Twilio hosts telephony infrastructure and provides connectivity between HTTP and the public switched telephone network (PSTN) through its APIs. Our platform can use its own Twilio account (with per-client dedicated numbers) but also allows clients to connect their own Twilio accounts. Separate Twilio numbers can be used for an entire company (all recruiters and communication) and personalized numbers for each recruiter. We have integrated Twilio in our App with the following functionality:
  • Messaging. Our App sends and receives SMS with Twilio Programmable Messaging API. This also includes WhatsApp messages.
  • Voice calls. Our App is using Twilio Voice API for voice calls (CallTran) functionality. Clients can initiate calls to Applicants from the application. Voice calls are being recorded and transcribed. Transcribe log is added to the Inbox chat as in a form of text messages (separately from the Applicant and from the recruiter). Call records are available for Clients as mp3 files for downloading.
  • Video calls. The App is using Twilio Video for video calls. Video calls are also being recorded and available for Clients in mp4 files. A recruiter can initiate a call and if the Applicant accepts it, then a video room is created, participants are joined and can talk to each other. Applicants have to allow access to their cameras and microphones for this feature to work.
• Microsoft Azure. We use servers of Microsoft Azure located in the Netherlands, EU and all data Job Stockbots collect and process are stored on Azure Cloud server.
• Hosting providers. Companies that provide space for and host our Website.
• Google, Facebook and LinkedIn. When visitors come on our Website, which contains Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel and LinkedIn Ads code, some data are sent to Google, Facebook and LinkedIn - anonymized and aggregated to provide analytics and measurement reports to the Company.
• Law enforcement agencies. We have the obligation to send personal data to official authorities upon verified request or legal process related to criminal investigations or alleged or suspected illegal activities.
• Other companies which could get involved in M&A. If we are subject to a merger or acquisition with/by another company, your personal data may be processed by these companies.

We do not intend to transfer personal data to a third country or international organization except as set forth herein. If we transfer personal data to a third country, it shall take place only if, subject to the other provisions of GDPR, the conditions laid down in Chapter V of GDPR are complied with by the Company or other third parties in their capacity of processors, including for onward transfers of personal data from the third country or an international organization to another third country or to another international organization.

For transfers between controllers, the recipient controller need not be a Privacy Shield organization or have an independent recourse mechanism. The Privacy Shield organization must enter into a contract with the recipient third-party controller that provides for the same level of protection as is available under the Privacy Shield, not including the requirement that the third-party controller be a Privacy Shield organization or have an independent recourse mechanism, provided it makes available an equivalent mechanism.

Following the CJEU’s judgement in the Schrems II case (C-311/18), we rely upon standard contractual clauses for transfers to third countries and all contracts we sign with Clients and subcontractors include standard contractual clauses as appendix. If you are a Client of ours and have signed a contract with us before the CJEU’s judgement in the Schrems II case was issued, then by accepting the present Privacy Policy, you also accept the terms of the standard contractual clauses. If a Client does not accept the standard contractual clauses, the Client must quit using our Services and let us know by e-mail. The standard contractual clauses are available to all Clients upon e-mail request sent to us.

Limiting the use and disclosure of personal data (opt-in and opt-out)

When acting as controller we allow individuals whose personal data are collected in the EU or Switzerland and transferred to the US to decide, by either opt-in or opt-out, as may be required by relevant local laws, rules or regulations (including, the Privacy Shield Principles), whether their personal data may be disclosed to a third-party that is not an agent or used for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by that individual.

For sensitive personal data, we give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively and explicitly consent (opt-in) to permit us to disclose such data to a third-party that is not an agent or use such data for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

We shall not seek to obtain affirmative express consent (opt-in) with respect to sensitive data where the processing is:

• In the vital interests of the data subject or another person
• Necessary for the establishment of legal claims or defenses
• Related to data that are manifestly made public by the individual

We provide you the opportunity to consent to having your personal data used for certain purposes when we ask for this data and you have the right to 'opt-out' at any time, incl. by explicitly notifying us by e-mail.

Requirements to disclose

We may disclose personal data when this is necessary to conform to legal requirements or to respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Liability in cases of onward transfers to third parties

We remain responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if a third-party that we engage to process personal information on our behalf does so in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless we are not responsible for the matter giving rise to the damage.

We shall enter into a contract with any third-party controller that provides that such data may only be processed for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent provided by the individual and that the recipient will provide the same level of protection as the Principles and will notify us if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet this obligation.

To transfer personal data to a third-party acting as an agent, we shall:

• Transfer such data only for limited and specified purposes
• Ascertain that the agent is obligated to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Principles
• Take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the agent effectively processes the personal information transferred in a manner consistent with our obligations under the Principles
• Require the agent to notify us if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Principles
• Upon notice take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing
• Provide a summary or a representative copy of the relevant privacy provisions of the contract with that agent to the Department upon request.

Right of individuals to access their personal data

Upon request sent to our e-mail address, we send data subjects confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed, and if they are processed:

• The purposes of the processing
• The categories of personal data concerned
• The recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
• Where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
• The existence of the right to request from us rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning any data subject or to object to such processing
• The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
• Where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source
• The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling

Right of access

We provide individuals access to their personal information we hold, as well as we can, upon request, correct, amend, or delete that information where it is inaccurate, or has been processed in violation of the Principles, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.

Access shall be provided in the form of disclosure of the relevant personal information to the individual and shall not require access by the individual to our databases. We shall not provide access unless we have been supplied with sufficient information to allow us to confirm the identity of the person making the request.

Individuals have the right to:

• Obtain confirmation of whether or not we are processing personal data relating to them
• Have communicated to them such data so that they could verify its accuracy and the lawfulness of the processing
• Have the data corrected, amended or deleted where it is inaccurate or processed in violation of the Principles

The right of access to personal data may be restricted in exceptional circumstances where the legitimate rights of persons other than the individual would be violated or where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question. Expense and burden are important factors and should be taken into account but they are not controlling factors in determining whether providing access is reasonable.

Confidential commercial information is information that we protect from disclosure, where disclosure would help a competitor in the market and therefore, we may deny or limit access to the extent that granting full access would reveal such confidential commercial information. Where confidential commercial information can be readily separated from other personal information subject to an access request, we shall redact the confidential commercial information and make available the non-confidential information.

We can restrict access in specific cases to the extent that disclosure is likely to interfere with the safeguarding of important countervailing public interests, such as national security, defense or public security. In addition, where personal information is processed solely for research or statistical purposes, access may be denied.

Other reasons for denying or limiting access are:

• Interference with the execution or enforcement of the law or with private causes of action, including the prevention, investigation or detection of offenses or the right to a fair trial
• Disclosure where the legitimate rights or important interests of others would be violated
• Breaching a legal or other professional privilege or obligation
• Prejudicing employee security investigations or grievance proceedings or in connection with employee succession planning and corporate re-organizations
• Prejudicing the confidentiality necessary in monitoring, inspection or regulatory functions connected with sound management, or in future or ongoing negotiations

We can provide an electronic copy of the personal data undergoing processing free of charge to individuals but for any further copies requested by them we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. The fee we may charge shall not be excessive and it may be justified, for example, where requests for access are manifestly excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character. Access may not be refused on cost grounds if the individual offers to pay the costs.

  1. right to object to processing of their personal data which processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Company or by a third-party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data;

We will inform any data subject about those recipients upon request.

Data subjects agree that they have no obligation to provide personal data while using our Services. If no data are provided some aspects of our Services may be limited (for example in cases when cookies are not allowed by data subject’s browser) or useless (for example if an Applicant does not provide personal data to Job Stock, then the respective employer at Client’s company cannot contact the Applicant to hire him which is the main purpose of job interviews).

Data subjects agree that automated decision-making is a core function of our Job StockService and will be used for the purpose of selecting and hiring staff by employers. Job Stockbots involve Applicants in interactive conversations that both ask questions (predefined by Clients) to Applicants, while answering questions that Applicants may have. In the end recruiters at Clients’ companies can focus on Applicants that make it through Job Stock’s selection process, which saves time by allowing HR specialists to personally get in touch with only the best candidates, selected by Job Stock, for any given position, which hiring process includes profiling of Applicants.

Profiling and automated decision making depend entirely on the preferences set by Clients. Every Client can have different preferences as to the skills of any Applicant (e.g. languages spoken, diplomas and qualification, etc.) and Job Stock rank Applicants according the Clients’ predefined criteria, then it is up to recruiters or HRs to decide which Applicant would best fit to their needs.

Data subjects have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which could lead to rejection of Applicants by employers at Clients’ companies. In this regard Applicants are free to ask Clients (data controllers) for human intervention if they are not happy with the results of the automated decision-making or want to express their point of view, obtain an explanation of the decision and challenge it, etc.

We do not intend to further process your personal data for any purpose other than that for which the personal data are collected. Should we decide to use your personal data for other purposes, we will ask for your consent prior to using it.
