(Last update: August 2nd 2023)

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Avature Limited collects and processes information relating to identified or identifiable individuals (“Personal Data”) through our channels, websites or mobile applications (collectively, “Websites”) and/or how the relevant Avature legal entity (as listed below) processes your Personal Data in the course of the provision of its products or services.

A reference to “Avature,” “we,” or “us” is a reference to Avature Limited and its relevant affiliates involved in the processing of your Personal Data as required for the provision of the requested Avature services and/or products. A list of Avature’s affiliates can be found in Appendix 1.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent we process Personal Data in the role of processor on behalf of our customer as part of our business activity as described below. If your information is being processed by Avature on behalf of one of our customers, such customer’s privacy policy applies to the processing. Further information in this regard is provided in the corresponding section below.

Description of our business activity

Avature develops and provides software application services, which include data processing activities and hosting activities. Avature’s customers primarily use our hosted services for Recruiting, Recruitment Marketing and Communication, and Talent Management activities. Avature’s customers upload their data (including Personal Data of prospective job candidates and employees) to the Avature hosted environment. Depending on our agreement with the respective customer, this data may be stored in the United States of America, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, Japan, China or Singapore, and Avature may transfer it to other countries where we have operations. Once the data is stored, our customers access our solution and their data for recruitment purposes. Individuals involved in these recruitment and staffing activities interact directly with Avature’s customers, rather than with Avature. Avature is a processor for our customers, who operate as controllers of Personal Data.

Avature does not collect Personal Data for resale, sell Personal Data it has collected, or sell access to Personal Data.

What Personal Data do we collect?

We will collect Personal Data about you from a variety of sources, including information we collect from you directly (e.g. when you reach out to us through the online “Contact Us” forms), and information we collect about you from other sources, as described below:

1. Personal Data we collect directly from you

The categories of Personal Data we collect directly from you include:

  • Personal details (e.g. first and last name);
  • Contact details (e.g. phone number, postal address or e-mail address);
  • Professional details (e.g. job title, company and company details, and professional contact details);
  • Content of enquiries (including your expressed interests) explicitly provided by you; and
  • Information we collect automatically from you (e.g. data collected using cookies or other similar technologies (“Cookies”)) regarding your use of the Websites. Further information about our use of Cookies is available in the Cookies Section below and our Cookie Notice.

When you are acting as an employee, representative and/or agent of our customers, suppliers, providers, partners, business associates, advisors or prospects, we may also collect the following information about you:

  • Contractual data, such as purchase orders, invoices, contracts and other agreements between your company (or your employer) and Avature, that may include your contact information and signature;
  • Financial and payment information such as bank account and credit card details;
  • IT related data, such as your user ID, passwords and logs about your usage (including profile details) of our Websites or portals specifically created to provide a service to our customers such as the Training, Sales and Resourcecenter portals; and
  • Other details about our professional relationship, including our communications.

If you are a user of our mobile app (available for IOS and Android devices), we also collect the following information:

  • Data resulting from our access to your camera and/or photo library (provided you have expressly authorized such access); and
  • Other information you may provide that is useful for the future development of the app and for support purposes.

If you give us Personal Data about somebody else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have their permission to do so.

2. Personal Data we collect from other sources

We also collect some of the Personal Data listed above directly from publicly available sources (which would only include personal, professional and contact details), from third parties that may provide us with Personal Data to improve and enhance our services, or from your employer in the case of candidates for employment with Avature.

We neither intend nor try to collect information on minors (16 years of age or younger). Considering that we cannot tell the age of online visitors, if a minor provides Personal Data to us without the consent of his or her parents or guardian, his or her parents or guardian may request us to remove the information we have about him or her.

How do we use your Personal Data and on what legal bases?

In general, Avature may retain Personal Data as controller about several different types of individuals, including (i) visitors of our Websites; and (ii) employees, representatives and/ or agents of customers, suppliers, providers, partners, business associates, advisors or prospects.
