HOW WE USE THE IMAGE AND LOCATION
We understand the importance of transparency in explaining how we use the photo library and location data. Please find below a detailed explanation of the purposes for which we collect and process these types of data:
Location:
We request access to the user’s location to enhance their experience on our app by providing location-specific job posts. The location data helps us display the nearest job opportunities in the user’s area, ensuring that they have access to relevant and local job listings.
Image Library:
We request access to the user’s image library to facilitate a seamless and personalized experience for both job seekers and recruiters. Specifically, we access the user’s profile image from their image library to display it as a portrait image for recruiters. This allows recruiters to have a visual representation of the candidate during the hiring process.
This level of detail ensures that our users can make informed decisions about granting consent for accessing their location and image library.

WHY AND HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We process your personal data lawfully for:
the purpose of handling communication and exchange of information with our websites users;

any other specific purpose indicated at the time of collecting the information.
We may use and process your personal data principally:
where you have provided freely given and explicit CONSENT and for specific, determined and legitimate purposes. You may withdraw your consent for us to use your information by contacting us at any time.
where it is necessary for us to pursue our LEGITIMATE INTERESTS as a business, provided that your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms are not overridden, taking into consideration your reasonable expectations, based on your relationship with us.
For example, for the following purposes:
direct marketing activities (other than where we rely on your consent) as analysis to improve our marketing strategy, and to enhance and personalise your user experience;
assess and improve our service to customers through recordings of any calls with our contact centers;
detection, prevention and mitigation of fraudulent or other illegal activities;

where it is necessary for us to COMPLY WITH A LEGAL OBLIGATION and notably:
to assist a public authority or criminal investigation body;
to identify you when you contact us under certain legal circumstances;
to verify the accuracy of data we hold about you.
where it is required for the PERFORMANCE OF A CONTRACT we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract. This will include information that we process in order to enable you to make use of our website and the services we provide through it.
WHO MAY RECEIVE OR HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Group companies
We may share your information with other Companies within the Pitchler Global group for internal administrative purposes or for marketing purposes in connection with the products and/or services that complement their own range of products and/or services that might interest you.
We may also transmit your personal data when we redirect your request to our contacts within the Group who are able to handle your request (for example, to solve a problem you have reported to us).
Our suppliers and service providers
We may disclose your information to our third-party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other organisations for the purposes of providing services to us or directly to you on our behalf. Such third parties may include cloud service providers (such as hosting and email management) or advertising agencies, administrative services, credit reference agencies, credit/debit card payment processors, customer satisfaction surveys or other third parties who provide services to us and assist us in the operation of our business and website.
When we use third party service providers, we only disclose personal data that is necessary for them to provide their service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and confidential, and not to use it other than in accordance with our specific instructions.
Third parties who provide products and services to you through us
We work closely with various third parties to bring you a range of products and services which are complementary to those which we provide.
When you enquire about or purchase one or more of these services through us, the relevant third party may use your details to provide you with information and to carry out their obligations arising from any contracts you have entered into with them.
These third-party providers may share your information with us which we will use in accordance with this policy. In some cases, they will be acting as a controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their own privacy policy.
OTHER WAYS WE MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may transfer your personal data:
to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation;
if we are under a duty to disclose or share it in order to comply with any legal obligation or when this disclosure is required by applicable laws, court orders or government regulations, to detect or report a crime, to enforce or apply the terms of our contracts or to protect the rights, property or safety of our visitors and customers;
to enforce applicable terms of use, to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of our companies;
if you have consented to the disclosure.
However, we will always take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Your information is stored either in our databases or in the databases of our service providers. Mainly because of the international dimension of the Pitchler Global group and in order to optimize service quality, the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
In such cases, we will take to the appropriate security and confidentiality measures to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this policy. These steps include imposing contractual obligations on the recipient of your personal data or ensuring that the recipients have subscribed to “international frameworks” that aim to ensure adequate protection.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We retain your personal data for a period of time necessary to achieve the purpose for which we use that information and to fulfill our obligations under other laws. Except in specific cases, this period is specified at the time the information is collected.
We do not retain personal data in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary.
WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS
Subject to applicable law and certain exemptions, restrictions or circumstances, you may have the right:
To access your personal data;
To correct, modify and update your personal data;
To erase your personal data or restrict its processing;
To withdraw your consent;
To object to our use of your personal data for automated decisions made about you;
To ask us to transfer your personal data in a structured data file to you or to another service provider if it is technically possible (data portability);
To lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority and seek a judicial remedy.
These rights may be exercised by written request sent to the contact details that will be provided to you at the time of data collection. A reply will be provided to you within a reasonable delay, in accordance with the applicable regulations.
HOW WE ENSURE SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR DATA
Our aim is to keep your data as safe and secure as possible at all times. Once we have received your personal data, we put in place reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures and controls to prevent as much as possible any accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized access.
