Candidate Agreement

This Policy is provided by 83ZERO (“83ZERO”, “we” or “us”), and is addressed to individuals outside our organisation with whom we interact, including (but not limited to) Clients, Candidates, Participants, Sources and visitors to our websites (together, “you”). Defined terms used in this Policy are explained further in Section (O) below.

For the purposes of this Policy, 83ZERO is the Controller. Contact details are provided in Section (M) below.

Please note that this Policy does not apply to the Processing by 83ZERO of the Personal Information of 83ZERO employees, temporary workers or other staff in connection with the roles they perform for 83ZERO. A separate privacy internal policy governs such Processing.

This Policy may be amended or updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices with respect to the Processing of Personal Information, or changes in applicable law. We encourage you to read this Policy carefully, and to regularly check this page to review any changes we might make in accordance with the terms of this Policy. We will notify you of any significant changes.

(B) Processing your Personal Information

Collection of Personal Information: We may collect Personal Information about you, such as your name, address and contact details. Examples of sources from which we may collect Personal Information include the following:

We may obtain your Personal Information when you provide it to us (e.g., where you contact us via email or telephone, or by any other means).
We may collect your Personal Information in the ordinary course of our relationship with you (e.g., if we offer to connect you with our Clients we may collect your Personal Information that are related to such Client opportunities, such as your résumé).
We may collect Personal Information that you manifestly choose to make public, including via social media (e.g., we may collect information from your social media profile(s), to the extent that you choose to make your profile publicly visible).
We may receive your Personal Information from third parties who provide it to us (e.g., past employers; referees; and law enforcement agencies).
We may, with your prior express written consent, conduct background checks, in accordance with the protections provided by applicable law.
We may collect or obtain Personal Information when you visit any 83ZERO website (the “Site”) or use any features or resources available on or through a Site. When you visit a Site, your device and browser will automatically disclose certain information (such as device type, operating system, browser type, browser settings, IP address, language settings, dates and times of connecting to a Site and other technical communications information), some of which may constitute Personal Information.

Creation of Personal Information: We may also create Personal Information about you, such as records of any interviews you attend. We collect, process and store information when you send, receive, or engage with messages in connection with our Services. This includes information such as the number of messages you’ve sent and received, details of who you’ve chatted with and when and which messages were responded to ("Message Data"). This Personal Information helps us to conduct our operations and manage our workforce.

We also may use automatic scanning technology on messages to allow us to recognize patterns on our messaging platform. These patterns may help us make your professional communications more efficient and informed and contribute to a safer and more secure job search experience. For example, our software may do the following:

Look for text that indicates a web link (e.g. ends with ".com" or similar) to generate a clickable link
Provide auto-complete options when it anticipates who the receiver of the message may be
Look for content to provide quick actions such as a scheduling tool
Look for content to provide quick replies based on context
Check links shared in messages for malicious sites and looks for blacklisted keywords to detect spam and fraud.

Personal Information you provide about others: In some circumstances, you may provide us with Personal Information about others. For example, you might act as a Source and provide comments on a Candidate or Participant. Whenever you provide any such Personal Information, we rely on you to ensure that you have a lawful basis for providing such Personal Information to us, and that you have complied with applicable law and with the terms of this Policy. If you are unable to do so, please refrain from providing the Personal Information of third parties to us.

- our legitimate interest in the promotion of our business; and

(D) International transfer of Personal Information

Countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your Personal Information, so European law has prohibited transfers of Personal Information outside of the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.

Whenever we transfer your Personal Information out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We will only transfer your Personal Information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Information by the European Commission; or

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give Personal Information the same protection it has in Europe; or

Where we share information with clients based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to Personal Information shared between the Europe and the US.

If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer.

Please email us at info@83zero.com if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Information out of the EEA.

(E) Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access, and other unlawful or unauthorised forms of Processing, in accordance with applicable law.

You are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Information that you send to us is sent securely.

Your Personal Information that we Process will be kept accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. We take every reasonable step to ensure that:

your Personal Information that we Process are accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; and
any of your Personal Information that we Process that are inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which they are Processed) are erased or rectified without delay.

From time to time we may ask you to confirm the accuracy of your Personal Information.

(G) Data Minimisation

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Information that we Process are limited to the Personal Information reasonably required in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy.
