Digisourced provides recruitment related services and we will, therefore, use your personal data in order for us to be able to deliver these services to you whether you are a candidate, client, or website user. Digisourced is deeply committed to ensuring the privacy and protection of your personal data. This includes any information that may be collected during the process of finding you a job, maintaining a relationship with you after placement, offering a service to you, receiving a service from you, utilizing your data to request assistance in relation to one of our candidates, or during your visit to our website or Services. Digisourced recognizes the importance of privacy and takes great care to uphold the confidentiality of all personal information that is collected.

This Privacy Policy covers Digisourced Ltd., 3rd Floor Eastgate, Castle Street, Castlefield, M3 4LZ as well as the following affiliated entities (the “Affiliates”):

  • Recann AB, Box 45087, 104 30 Stockholm.

The Privacy Policy sets out how we look after your personal data. It informs you about your privacy rights and how some data protection and privacy laws, including but not limited to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) (collectively, “Data Privacy Law”) protect you. Utilizing this Privacy Policy, we would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

If we do not maintain information in a manner that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household, such information is not considered personal data and this Privacy Policy will not apply to our processing of that information.

As the controller, Digisourced strives to take reasonable technical and organizational measures to ensure the complete protection of personal data processed. However, Internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g., by telephone.

2 DEFINITIONS

We strive to make our Privacy Policy comprehensible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used. In this Privacy Policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:

A) Personal data or personal information

Personal data or personal information has the meaning given in the Data Privacy Law applicable to you, and includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”).

B) Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

C) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which are performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

D) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

E) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular, to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

F) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization means processing of personal data in a way that it can no longer be linked to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and protected with special measures to make sure that the personal information cannot be linked back to an identified or identifiable natural person.

G) Controller or ”business”

Controller or ”business” is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by applicable law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by such applicable law.

H) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

I) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data during a particular inquiry in accordance with applicable law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities must adhere to the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

J) Third-party

Third-party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

K) Consent

Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which the data subject, through explicit declaration or clear positive action, indicates agreement to the processing of personal data relating to the data subject.

3 ENTITIES COVERED BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY

4 DIGISOURCED’S ROLE REGARDING PERSONAL DATA

We process personal data either for own purposes or on behalf of our customers. This means that we do not always have the same degree of decision-making with respect to why and how each piece of personal data will be processed.

●             Regarding the Personal Data of job applicants, contractors, users of our website(s), apps, or our services, or business contacts and prospects of Digisourced, we decide the purposes and means of processing, and consequently act as a data controller or “business”.

●             In certain instances, we process personal data as “service provider” or data processor on behalf of our customers, who use our services. Where you give your data to one of our customers or where we collect your personal data on their behalf, our customer’s privacy notice, rather than this Notice, will apply to our processing of your personal data.

5 COOKIES

The website and/or Services of Digisourced uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed[DS1]  on a user’s browser or device. For more information, see our cookie policy.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. A specific Internet browser or device can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Digisourced can provide the users with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to access and utilize our website or Services. Digisourced uses cookies, so that the user does not have to enter access data each time our website or Service is accessed, because this is taken over by the Services, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system or device.

You may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website or Services subject to applicability, by employing a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website or Services may function optimally or be entirely usable.

You may also set your browser to send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. For more information, please visit https://allaboutdnt.com. Please note that our services do not have the capability to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from web browsers.

We do not engage in cross-context behavioural advertising.

7 LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING

We must have a valid reason to use your personal data. This is called the "lawful basis for processing".

When we act as a data controller, we may process your personal data on the basis of:

  • your consent;
  • the need to perform a contract with you;
  • our legitimate interests or those of a third party;
  • the need to comply with the law; or
  • any other ground, as required or permitted by law.

We rely on our legitimate interests when, for example, we process the personal data we collect from you to send you marketing communications and to tell you about Digisourced and its services as well as about job opportunities, to communicate with you about changes to our services, and to provide, secure, develop, and improve our services. We also rely on our legitimate interest in carrying out our business operations and ensuring that our business runs smoothly.

Where we process your personal data based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of our processing before you withdrew your consent. It will also not affect the validity of our processing of personal data performed on other lawful grounds.

Where we receive your personal data as part of providing our services to you to fulfill a contract, we require such personal data to be able to carry out the contract. Without that necessary personal data, we will not be able to provide the services to you.

Within the scope of this Privacy Policy, we may also process personal data based on the instructions of our customers. To learn about their lawful bases for processing your personal data, please read the privacy notice(s) of our customers.

8 WHY Do We Use Your Data?

Our main focus is on providing recruitment services. Therefore, the main purpose of processing personal data is centred on providing candidates.

For instance, we may merge your usage information to determine the percentage of users who utilize a specific feature.

Whilst we take reasonable commercial steps to ensure that personal data is protected, we cannot guarantee the security and integrity of the information that has been transmitted to our Services.

14 YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

You have specific rights regarding your personal data that we collect and process. Please note that you can only exercise these rights with respect to personal data that we process about you when we act as a data controller or as a “business” under the CCPA. To exercise your rights with respect to information processed by us on behalf of one of our customers, please read the privacy notice of that customer.

In this section, we first describe those rights and then we explain how you can exercise those rights.

Right to Know What Happens to Your Personal Data

This is called the right to be informed. It means that you have the right to obtain from us all information regarding our data processing activities that concern you, such as how we collect and use your personal data, how long we will keep it, and who it will be shared with, among other things.

We are informing you of how we process your personal data with this Privacy Policy.

We will always try to inform you about how we process your personal data. However, if we do not collect the personal data directly from you, the GDPR exempts us from the obligation to inform you (i) when providing the information is either impossible or unreasonably expensive; (ii) the gathering and/or transmission is required by law, or if (iii) the personal data must remain confidential due to professional secrecy or other statutory secrecy obligations.

Right to Know What Personal Data Digisourced Has About You

This is called the right of access. This right allows you to ask for full details of the personal data we hold on you.

You have the right to obtain from us, including confirmation of whether or not we process personal data concerning you, and, where that is the case, a copy or access to the personal data and certain related information.

Once we receive and confirm that the request came from you or your authorized agent, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of your personal data that we process;
  • The categories of sources for your personal data;
  • Our purposes for processing your personal data;
  • Where possible, the retention period for your personal data, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine the retention period;
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share your personal data;
  • If we carry out automated decision-making, including profiling, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for you;
  • The specific pieces of personal data we process about you in an easily-sharable format;
  • If we disclosed your personal data for a business purpose, the categories of personal data and categories of recipients of that personal data for disclosure;
  • If we rely on legitimate interests as a lawful basis to process your personal data, the specific legitimate interests; and
  • The appropriate safeguards used to transfer personal data from the EEA or the UK to a third country, if applicable.

Under some circumstances, we may deny your access request. In that event, we will respond to you with the reason for the denial.

The CCPA does not allow us to disclose Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers or other government-issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, any health insurance or medical identification numbers, account passwords, or security questions and answers. We can inform you that we have this information generally, but we may not provide the specific numbers, passwords etc. to you for security and legal reasons.

Right to Change Your Personal Data

This is called the right to rectification. It gives you the right to ask us to correct without undue delay anything that you think is wrong with the personal data we have on file about you, and to complete any incomplete personal data. If you would like to change your personal data, please contact us at privacy@Digisourced.com.

  • Right to Delete Your Personal Data

This is called the right to erasure, right to deletion, or the right to be forgotten. This right means you can ask for your personal data to be deleted. If you would like to delete your personal data, please contact us at privacy@Digisourced.com.

Sometimes we can delete your information, but other times it is not possible for either technical or legal reasons. If that is the case, we will consider if we can limit how we use it. We will also inform you of our reason for denying your deletion request.

Right to Ask Us to Limit How We Process Your Personal Data

This is called the right to restrict processing. It is the right to ask us to only use or store your personal data for certain purposes. You have this right in certain instances, such as where you believe the data is inaccurate or the processing activity is unlawful.

Right to Ask Us to Stop Using Your Personal Data

This is called the right to object. This is your right to tell us to stop using your personal data. You have this right where we rely on a legitimate interest of ours (or of a third party). You may also object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

We will stop processing the relevant personal data unless: (i) we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, or freedoms; or (ii) we need to continue processing your personal data to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

Right to Port or Move Your Personal Data

This is called the right to data portability. It is the right to ask for and receive a portable copy of your personal data that you have given us or that you have generated by using our services, so that you can:

  • Move it;
  • Copy it;
  • Keep it for yourself; or
  • Transfer it to another organization.

We will provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. When you request this information electronically, we will provide you a copy in electronic format.

Right Related to Automated Decision Making

We sometimes use computers to study your personal data. We might use this personal data so we know how you use our services. For decisions that may seriously impact you, you have the right not to be subject to automatic decision-making, including profiling. But in those cases, we will always explain to you when we might do this, why it is happening and the effect.

Right to Withdraw Your Consent

Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal data, you may withdraw your consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent, our use of your personal data before you withdraw is still lawful.

If you have given consent for your details to be shared with a third party and wish to withdraw this consent, please also contact the relevant third party in order to change your preferences.

  • Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. Unless the applicable data protection laws permit it, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services;
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

  1. Contacting us by email at privacy@Digisourced.com
  1. Writing to us at: Digisourced, 3rd Floor Eastgate, Castle Street, Castlefield, Manchester, M3 4LZ.

Verification of Your Identity

In order to correctly respond to your privacy rights requests we need to confirm that you made the request. Consequently, we may require additional information to confirm that you are who you say you are.

For requests sent by other means, we will verify your identity by asking you for information that matches the information that we already hold about you. We may also send you an e-mail or text message containing a confirmation code.

We will only use the personal data you provide us in a request to verify your identity or authority to make the request.

Verification of authority

If you are submitting a request on behalf of somebody else, we will need to verify your authority to act on behalf of that individual. When contacting us, please provide us with proof that the individual gave you signed permission to submit this request, a valid power of attorney on behalf of the individual, or proof of parental responsibility or legal guardianship. Alternatively, you may ask the individual to directly contact us by using the contact details above to verify their identity with Digisourced and confirm with us that they gave you permission to submit this request.

Response timing and format of our responses

We will confirm the receipt of your request within ten (10) business days and, in that communication, we will also describe our identity verification process (if needed) and when you should expect a response, unless we have already granted or denied the request.

Please allow us up to a month to reply to your requests (except requests to stop selling your personal data) from the day we received your request. If we need more time (up to 90 days in total), we will inform you of the reason why and the extension period in writing. 

If we cannot satisfy a request, we will explain why in our response. For data portability requests, we will choose a format to provide your personal data that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without difficulty.

We will not charge a fee for processing or responding to your requests. However, we may charge a fee if we determine that your request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. In those cases, we will tell you why we made that determination and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Your right to appeal

If we decline to take action regarding a request that you have submitted, we will inform you of our reason for doing so, and for Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut residents, provide instructions for how to appeal the decision. If we decline to comply with a data subject rights request, residents of the above states will have the right to appeal our refusal within a reasonable period of time after receiving our decision. Within 60 days of the time provided by applicable U.S. state law, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If the appeal is denied, we will also provide you with an online mechanism, if available, or other method through which you may contact the your state’s regulatory authority to submit a complaint.

A web analysis service gathers, among other things, information about the website from which a person originated. (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of the Services, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through JavaScript that any data and information about the visits of the website (Services) may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser extension was removed or disabled by the user or any person under their authority, it can be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.

Our retention periods are also based on our business needs and good practice.

In cases where we act as a data processor, we hold the personal data for as long as we provide services to the customer or as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was initially collected and thereafter until such time as we delete the Customer’s account unless we need to preserve it for a longer period, for example, because of our obligations under tax laws or in connection with any anticipated litigation.

Your personal data may need to be retained in our backup systems and will only be deleted or overwritten at a later time. This may be the case even when you or a Supervisory Authority has validly asked us to delete your personal data or when we do not no longer have a legal basis for processing such personal data. Please note that our backups are protected.
