Last Updated: June 19, 2019

Niloos Software Ltd and its subsidiaries (“NilooSoft“, “we”, “our” or the “Company“, and their cognates) respects the privacy of its customers, employees and candidates, and is committed to protecting the personal information you may share with us. We also protect the privacy of our customers’ employees and candidates, as well as our website visitors, site visitors, followers, vendors, service providers, partners and others who come in contact with Niloosoft (these and any others with respect to whom we collect personal data, shall collectively be referred to as “Customers” or “you” or “Data Subjects”).

This policy and notice (the “Privacy Policy“) explains the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our websites, including also at www.Niloosoft.com, and additional Niloosoft group websites (the “Websites”), our social media pages, or you may provide us with such data in the course of your interest in our products, business transactions, conferences, licensing, sales and support, as well as in job applications, in the course of employment or provision of services. This policy also explains how we process the personal data of our customers’ employees and candidates on behalf of our customers. We are transparent about our practices regarding the information we may collect use, maintain and process and describe our practices in this policy and notice. Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

For the purposes of European Economic Area data protection law, (the “Data Protection Law“):

Niloosoft will usually be a data controller (the “Controller“) in relation to the Personal Data of our customers, our prospective customers, our employees and our candidates.

Niloosoft will usually be a data processor (the “Processor“) in relation to the Personal Data of our customers’ employees and our customers’ candidates.

  1. WHICH INFORMATION MAY WE COLLECT?

We collect data about you in connection with your transactions with us, or in processing data for our customers.

We elaborate here on two categories of information and data we may collect from, on behalf of, or in connection with our Customers.

Data we collect about you from your transactions with us:

One type of data is non-identifiable and anonymous information (“non-personal data”). We also collect several categories of personal data (“Personal Data“). Personal Data which is being gathered consists of any details which are personally identifiable provided consciously and voluntarily by you, or by an organization you represent or are associated with or through your use of the Websites (as described below). This may include your name (first and last), email address, phone numbers, picture, postal address, birthdate, gender, position and organization name, your bank account, credit card and other such payment and billing details, billing address, login credentials, your Niloosoft account username and password and usage details, and other information you may choose to provide to Niloosoft. Additionally, we may obtain location data related to the geographic location of your laptop, mobile device or other digital device on which the Niloosoft website is used.

You do not have any legal obligation to provide any information to Niloosoft, however, we require certain information in order to perform contracts, such as licensing, sale or purchase, or to provide any services and products. If you choose not to provide us with certain information, then we may not be able to provide you or your organization with some or all of the services.

Niloosoft may also collect the email addresses of people who communicate with Niloosoft via email or other media or create accounts and login credentials.

By registering on the Websites, or submitting requests for support or information via the Websites, Niloosoft will collect details, including also your name, company name, phone number and personal or company email you provided, address, birthdate and other such information. Niloosoft may use this information to offer Niloosoft’s services and support, and will share this data across Niloosoft group companies and affiliates to optimize its services.

Niloosoft also collects data relating to employees. This is governed by a specific notice we have made available to our employees.

Niloosoft also collects data relating to its own employment candidates. This includes CVs and the data contained therein, notes on meetings, standardized tests, reports, references, interviewer impressions and such industry standard data, as well as collecting data made publicly available or available to us on social networks. We collect such data based on the intention of the candidate to enter into an employment agreement with Niloosoft. In the unlikely event that we collect and process special categories of personal data in the recruiting context, we will do so based on our legitimate interest of ensuring we recruit well-suited people.

Data that we process on behalf of our customers:

Our customers collect Personal Data about candidates who wish to apply for a job with them. As part of the services that we offer to our customers, we store and process this Personal Data. This can include candidates’ names, postal address, email address, phone numbers, CVs, references, photographs, notes made by our customers on the candidates’ suitability and any other Personal Data that our customers choose to collect as part of their job application process. This can also include sensitive categories of personal data such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, health data,  and trade union membership. We use this data in order to provide Human Resource Management Services to our customers.

  1. SECURITY AND STORAGE OF INFORMATION

No data security is perfect, but we work hard to ensure we have great security.

We take great care in implementing, enforcing and maintaining the security of the personal data we process, whether as Processor or as Controller. Niloosoft implements, enforces and maintains security measures, technologies and policies to prevent the unauthorized or accidental access to or destruction, loss, modification, use or disclosure of personal data. We likewise take steps to monitor compliance of such policies on an ongoing basis. Where we deem it necessary in light of the nature of the data in question and the risks to data subjects, we may encrypt data. Likewise, we take industry standard steps to ensure our Websites and services are safe.

Note however, that no data security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, leaks, viruses and other data security breaches will never occur.

Within Niloosoft, we endeavor to limit access to personal data to those of our personnel who: (i) require access in order for Niloosoft to fulfil its obligations, including also under its agreements, and as described in this Privacy Policy , and (ii) have been appropriately and periodically trained with respect to the requirements applicable to the processing, care and handling of the Personal Data, and (iii) are under confidentiality obligations as may be required under applicable law.

Niloosoft shall act in accordance with its policies and with applicable law to promptly notify the relevant authorities and data subjects in the event that any personal data processed by Niloosoft is lost, stolen, or where there has been any unauthorized access to it, all in accordance with applicable law and on the instructions of qualified authority. Niloosoft shall promptly take reasonable remedial measures.

  1. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

Data subjects have rights, and we respect them.

Data subjects with respect to whose data GDPR applies, have rights under GDPR and local laws, including, in different circumstances, rights to data portability, rights to access data, rectify data, object to processing, and erase data. It is clarified for the removal of doubt, that where personal data is provided by a customer being the data subject’s employer, such data subject rights will have to be effected through that customer. In addition, data subject rights cannot be exercised in a manner inconsistent with the rights of Niloosoft employees and staff, with Niloosoft proprietary rights, and third-party rights. As such, job references, reviews, internal notes and assessments, documents and notes including proprietary information or forms of intellectual property, cannot be accessed or erased or rectified by data subjects. In addition, these rights may not be exercisable where they relate to data that is not in a structured form, for example emails, or where other exemptions apply. If processing occurs based on consent, data subjects generally have a right to withdraw their consent.

If, for any reason, a data subject wishes to modify, delete or retrieve their Personal Data, they may do so, where applicable, by contacting Niloosoft ([email protected]). Note that Niloosoft will have to undertake a process to identify a data subject exercising their rights. Niloosoft keeps details of such rights exercised for its own compliance and audit requirements. Please note that Personal Data may be either deleted or retained in an aggregated manner without being linked to any identifiers or Personal Data, depending on technical commercial capability. Such information will continue to be used by Niloosoft.

Data subjects in the EU have the right to lodge a complaint, with a data protection supervisory authority in the place of their habitual residence. Our lead supervisory authority is the Office of the President for Personal Data Protection (UODO) in Warsaw, Poland.  (Contact email: [email protected]). If the supervisory authority fails to deal with a complaint you may have the right to an effective judicial remedy.

Where Niloosoft is a Processor, any data subject rights may be exercised only through the relevant Controller.
