We at Comeet Technologies, Inc. (“Comeet“, “we”, “us”, “our”) develop and operate a recruiting and applicant tracking platform (the “Platform”) that helps companies to manage their recruiting processes (the “Customer”).

This Privacy Notice (the “Notice“) is intended for the Customer’s employees, staff, contractor and/or any other third party using Comeet’s Platform on behalf of the Customer, and describes the ways in which the Customer handles your Personal Data (as described below). It also describes the rights and options available to you with respect to your Personal Data.

1. INTRODUCTION

The Customer is the data controller of the Personal Data on the Platform. Comeet is the data processor acting on behalf of the Customer.

Please note that this Notice covers the Platform’s privacy practices in general matters. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Notice, the “Customer” are companies which executed agreements with Comeet to receive Comeet’s services. If your Personal Data is provided to us as a result of our relationships with Customer, please note that the Customer is the responsible party for obtaining the required consents and complying with any applicable laws and regulations with respect to the collection, processing, transfer and use of your Personal Data. The Customer may have an additional privacy notice explaining its own specific privacy practices related to your personal data (the “Customer’s Notice”). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of the Customer. Please be aware that the Customer can collect Personal Data from you. Accordingly, we encourage you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the Customer.

We greatly respect your privacy, which is why we make every effort to provide a platform that would live up to the highest of user privacy standards. Please read this Notice carefully, so you can fully understand our practices and your rights in relation to personal data. “Personal Data” or “Personal Information” means any information that can be used, alone or together with other data, to uniquely identify any living human being. Important note: Nothing in this Notice is intended to limit in any way your statutory right, including your rights to a remedy or means of enforcement.

2. PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED

In such cases, we will process the following Personal Data (in accordance with your privileges and uses of the Platform), such as: your user account credentials, as well as additional information such as your full name, work email address, position, work phone number, and any other information that you and/or the Customer will decide to provide us with. We will also collect and process information that could contain your Personal Data, such as: internal communication you create for use within the Customer, communication with candidates and sources, candidate evaluations, interview questions, among others. All of the above Personal Data is referred to as “User Account Information”.

We also use it to facilitate our internal managerial, archival, administrative and audit activities and to prevent fraudulent and unlawful use of the Platform.

  • Legal basis (GDPR only, if applicable): Comeet is the data processor, therefore, Comeet does not need to provide a legal basis under this use case. Comeet has an agreement in place with the Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, under CCPA, Comeet is considered a service provider and the Customer is the business (if applicable).

  • Consequences of not providing the Personal Data: We may receive such Personal Data directly from you or from the Customer. You are not legally required to provide us your information, however, we will not be able to allow you to use the Platform without this Personal Data.

  • Why this Personal Data is collected and for what purposes: We will use the Usage Information for quality assurance and business development purposes of the Platform and for improvement of the Platform and its user experience. We also use the Usage Information for aggregated content and benchmarks that help recruiters, managers and candidates.

  • Consequences of not providing the Personal Data: We cannot provide you with some features and functions of our Platform.

Finally, please note that some of the abovementioned Personal Data will be used for detecting, taking steps to prevent, and prosecution of fraud or other illegal activity, to identify and repair errors, to conduct audits, and for security purposes. Personal Data may also be used to comply with applicable laws, with investigations performed by the relevant authorities, law enforcement purposes, and/or to exercise or defend legal claims. In certain cases, we may or will anonymize or de-identify your Personal Data and further use it for internal and external purposes, including, without limitation, to improve the services and for research purposes. “Anonymous Information” means information which does not enable identification of an individual user, such as aggregated information about the use of our services. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we reserve the right to use Anonymous Information and/or disclose it to third parties without restrictions (for example, in order to improve our services and enhance your experience with them).

5. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

General transfers rule: If you are an EU resident and we transfer your Personal Data from within the European Union to locations outside the European Union, we will rely on i) Adequacy Decisions as adopted by European Commission on the basis of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), or ii) Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission. Comeet also continually monitors the circumstances surrounding such transfers in order to ensure that these maintain, in practice, a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to the one guaranteed by the GDPR.

External transfers: Where we transfer your Personal Data outside of EU/EEA, for example to third parties who help provide our products and services, we will obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your Personal Data. Where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we carefully validate these requests before any Personal Data is disclosed. The safeguards for international data transfers to Comeet’s sub-processors are set out in Comeet’s list of sub-processors available here.

Internal transfers: We ensure transfers within the Comeet group will be covered by an agreement entered into by members of the Comeet group (an intra-group agreement) which contractually obliges each member to ensure that Personal Data receives an adequate and consistent level of protection wherever it is transferred to. Comeet is located in the United States and such entity is involved in processing your Personal Data there.
