Privacy Policy – Talented LLC

Effective July 10 2025 (supersedes all prior versions)

0. Key Points

  • We recruit, vet, and place overseas talent for growth-minded businesses.
  • We collect the minimal data needed to run the service: contact details, job-match info, basic site analytics.
  • No selling of personal data—ever. Data is shared only with trusted service providers or where law requires.
  • You can access, correct, delete, or download your data at any time by emailing privacy@scout-talented.com.
  • Cookies are limited to essential and analytics functions. You may block them in your browser settings.

1. Scope

This Policy applies to visitors of scouttalented.com, prospective clients, and talent applicants who interact with our recruiting platform, forms, and communications.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Contact Details — name, email, phone, company, location.
  • Applicant Information — résumé/CV, skills, assessments, salary expectations, interview recordings.
  • Client Requirements — role descriptions, team structure, KPIs.
  • Payment Details — billing address and limited card data processed by our payment processor (we do not store full card numbers).

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you browse our site we log IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, and time on page. This helps secure the site and understand performance trends.

3. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We place a small number of cookies for:

  • Essential Functions — site security and load balancing.
  • Analytics — aggregate traffic statistics (no ad networks rely on these cookies).

We do not run a cookie banner. You can manage or block cookies anytime in your browser preferences or by using built-in “Do Not Track” settings.

4. How We Use Data

  1. Operate and improve our recruiting services.
  2. Match applicants with suitable roles and present shortlists to clients.
  3. Communicate with you: confirmations, updates, marketing (opt-out anytime).
  4. Process payments and manage invoicing.
  5. Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

5. Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

Our processing relies on contract performance, legitimate interests (e.g., service security and direct marketing), consent (where required), and legal obligation.

6. Sharing & Disclosure

  • Clients — applicant data is shared only with relevant clients and only after the applicant agrees.
  • Service Providers — we use vetted cloud, analytics, and payment vendors bound by confidentiality and security terms.
  • Regulators/Law Enforcement — when we believe disclosure is legally required or necessary to protect rights and safety.
  • Corporate Events — in a merger or acquisition, subject to this Policy.

7. Retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes in Section 4 and any legally mandated period. Applicant files are reviewed every 24 months and deleted or anonymised if no longer relevant.

8. Security

We employ encryption, access controls, multi-factor authentication, and regular security assessments. No online system is entirely fool-proof, but we act promptly on any identified risk.

9. International Transfers

Data may be processed and stored in the United States, the Philippines, and other locations where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Request a copy of data you provided to us.
  • Opt-out of marketing communications.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.

Email privacy@scout-talented.com. We verify identity before acting on a request.

11. Children

We do not intentionally collect data from anyone under 16. If we become aware of such data, we delete it promptly.

12. Changes to This Policy

We update this Policy from time to time. Material changes are posted here with a new “Effective” date. Continued use of our site or services indicates acceptance of the revised Policy.
