Thank you for choosing to be part of our community. At career.io and our subsidiary and affiliated sites, we are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains what personal data is collected and how it is used by Talent, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Company“, “ we”, “us”, or “our”) when you access or use the career.io site as well as any other website, mobile site or mobile application related or linked to career.io (collectively, the “Platform”). This Policy and other documents referenced in it apply to all personal data collected through our Platform and any related services, sales, marketing or events.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. It includes things like email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, payment card information, account numbers, and government-issued identification numbers. These are just examples and there are many other types of information that would be considered personal data.
Because we operate globally, we apply local rules regarding the use and sale of personal data, as well as the choice to receive communications from us and our affiliate companies. This Policy generally describes our collection and use practices, but please review the specific notice below for your geographic area, which provides more specific information regarding our practices and your rights:
European Economic Area Residents

If there are any terms in this Policy that you do not agree with, please immediately discontinue use of the Platform and our services. If you have any questions or concerns about our collection or use of your information, please contact us at privacy@career.io.

Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account to make sure it is accurate and up-to-date, please log into your user account and update the information as needed.
If you terminate your subscription or account with us, then we will deactivate your account. However, we retain a copy of all resumes created by us or on the Platform, and some additional information may be retained in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use, or comply with applicable legal requirements. We try to minimize the data we retain to only that which is necessary for these purposes.
Opt Out of Email Marketing:
You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send. Even if you opt out of marketing emails, we may still send you service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account.
We may update this Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by the “Last Updated” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review the posted Policy frequently to stay informed about how your information is being used.
If you have questions or comments about this Policy, you may contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) by email at privacy@career.io.
We offer our Platform and services within the European Union and therefore the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies. This notice applies to you if you are resident in the European Economic Area (“EEA”: the countries of the European Union as well as Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) (“GDPR notice”).
Therefore, if you are located in the EEA, the general considerations in the Policy and the considerations specifically set out in this GDPR notice will apply. If there is a conflict between the Policy and the GDPR notice and this GDPR notice applies to you, then the GDPR notice will prevail.
Unless otherwise specified, definitions in this EU Supplemental Terms will have the same meaning as the definitions used in the Terms of Use.
If you have any questions or concerns about our collection or use of your information, please contact us at at privacy@career.io.
Insofar as third parties process your personal data on our behalf, they do so as processors as defined in the GDPR. In these cases, we are the data controller, as we determine the purposes and means of data processing. We will only engage processors who adequately implement appropriate technical and organisational measures and who guarantee the protection of your rights. In order to ensure this, we enter into data processing agreements with our processors. This is compulsory under the GDPR. The data processing agreement regulates, among other things, data security, confidentiality and your rights.
If your personal data are transferred to ‘third countries’ – i.e., countries outside the EEA – we will only do so if the third country offers an adequate level of protection. In some countries outside the EEA – please, check here – your personal data are sufficiently protected in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. If this is not the case, we provide appropriate safeguards to ensure adequate data protection. For example, by using the most recent standard contractual clauses as approved by the European Commission and by implementing additional safeguards.
If no appropriate safeguards are in place, we will only transfer your personal data if a legal exception applies. An example of a legal exception is explicit consent.
As set out in the Policy, we may collect your personal data from other sources and we may share your personal data with affiliated companies, group companies and subsidiaries, third-party services providers and marketing partners. In these cases and to the extent that the receiving party is not a processor on our behalf, we will only collect or share your personal data if we have obtained your consent. This consent is obtained for example via a consent banner or a cookie banner depending on the receiving party.
We will not use your electronic contact details for marketing purposes, unless you are our customer or meet another exception under the applicable telecommunications laws. As mentioned in the Policy, you can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send (this is also called ‘OPT OUT’). If you are not our existing customer, we will ask for your consent to send direct marketing messages (this is also called ‘OPT IN’).
For the underlying processing of your personal data for marketing purposes, we may process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest, except when your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our interests. This legal basis is referred to below as ‘legitimate interest’.
Our Platform does not intend to collect special categories of personal data, such as personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs. However, we cannot fully guarantee that we will not collect such data if you provide it to us (for example, in your resume). We will not use it for purposes other than creating your resume.
If you are a resident of the EEA, you may invoke a number of privacy rights additional to those mentioned in the Policy, which are the right to review or change the information in your account to make sure it is accurate and up-to-date. The additional rights include:
Right to Erasure.You generally have a right to erasure; however, we may not always erase your personal data because sometimes the processing is still necessary: for example, for complying with statutory obligations or for lodging, exercising or substantiating legal claims. Therefore, we will weigh your interest in having your personal data erased against the necessity of maintaining the personal data for other legitimate interests. Regarding the deactivation of your account we refer to the information mentioned in the Policy.
Right to Restriction of Processing.Under certain circumstances, you may have us restrict the processing of your personal data. For example, if the accuracy of your personal data are contested.
Notification of Rectification, Deletion or Restriction.Unless it is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort, we will inform the recipients of your personal data about rectification, deletion or restriction of processing.
Right to Data Portability.Under certain circumstances, you may request us to transfer your personal data to another party.
Right of Objection.Furthermore, under certain circumstances you may object to the processing of your personal data by us (or third parties engaged by us). For example, you may object to the use of your personal data for marketing purposes.
Right to Withdraw Consent.If we have requested your consent for data processing, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the withdrawal.
Right of Complaint.If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates applicable laws and regulations, please contact us at privacy@career.io. We will always try to find a solution together. Should this not be possible, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, or any other competent authority in the European Union, or to take legal action.
You can submit your request(s) for exercising these rights to us at privacy@career.io, please provide your name, telephone number, and type of request. To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to your request(s). Only you or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf may make a verifiable request related to your personal data. For example, if you make a request, we will ask you to confirm your name, email address, and/or other information we in our records to verify your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data are not disclosed to someone who has no right to receive it.
We will respond to your request as soon as possible, and no later than one month from receipt of your request. In doing so, we will also assess whether, and if so to what extent, we can or must comply with your request under the law. If a longer period of up to two months is needed, we will inform you within one month of receipt of the request. The submission and processing of your request is free of charge, unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of a repetitive character.
If you have questions or comments about this GDPR notice, you may contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) by email at privacy@career.io and our representative in the EEA, which is established in the Netherlands:

Categories of Information “Sold”
We do not sell your personal data for a monetary fee; however, some U.S. privacy laws define a “sale” very broadly such that it may include our sharing of your personal data with certain third parties if we receive anything of value in return. In that regard, we share your personal data with certain third-party marketing partners and in exchange we receive the ability to market or offer our products and services through their websites and applications. This may be considered a “sale” under some laws.
The personal data that may be shared or sold in this context is: your name; email address; other contact information; and information obtained through cookies about, for example, your location, the website that directed you to our Platform, how you navigate our sites, and what purchases you make.
Other than these third-party marketing partners, there are no other third parties to which we will sell your personal data.
Do-Not-Track Features
Many web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a “do-not-track” feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing do-not-track signals has been finalized and, as such, we do not currently respond to do not track browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. We will update this Policy if that changes in the future.

Right to Delete. You also have the right to ask us to delete any personal information that we have collected about you, subject to certain limitations.

What We May Need from You.

This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to someone who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Verifying Your Identity: To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before providing your personal information and before deleting your information.

For example, if you make a request, we will ask you to confirm your name, email address, and/or other information we in our records to verify your identity, so that we can help protect your information.
