This sharing is integral to our recruitment matching service. You can control your visibility to specific clients through your account settings.

We implement comprehensive technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmissions are encrypted using TLS/SSL 1.2 or higher protocols. Sensitive information is stored using industry-standard encryption algorithms (AES-256).
• Access Controls: Strict role-based access controls ensure only authorized personnel can access personal data, and all access is logged and monitored.
• Secure Infrastructure: Our platform is hosted on secure, redundant cloud infrastructure with regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
• Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is available to protect your account. We strongly recommend enabling MFA for enhanced security.
• Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits, penetration testing, and compliance assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Data Minimization: We collect only the personal data necessary for our services and maintain strict data retention policies.
• Incident Response: We maintain a comprehensive incident response plan to detect, investigate, and remediate any potential security breaches.
• Employee Training: All staff members with access to personal data receive regular data protection and security training.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable efforts to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You have the right to:

• Access, update, or delete your personal information.
• Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Object to the processing of your personal data.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We may also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
