We encourage you to contact us first to seek a resolution before you lodge a complaint. How We Keep Your Personal Data SecureOur commitment to protecting your personal data involves implementing the highest industry standard security processes and systems. We use secured HTTPS protocol for communication between the Website and your browser, ensuring that all data transmitted is securely encrypted. In addition, our secure servers are safeguarded with advanced firewall technology. We store your personal data within the European Union, on encrypted servers and/or with certified data centers compliant with the "ISO/IEC 27001 - Information security management" standard.
Despite these precautions, the security of data transmitted over the Internet can never be guaranteed. Data may be transmitted across international borders even when the sender and receiver are in the same country. We cannot be held responsible for any compromise of data before it reaches our system. Data Retention
We only process your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was first collected. Your personal data will be retained for as long as we have a relationship with you (for example, evaluating employment opportunities or answering your queries) and up to one (1) year after that. Data used to provide you with information on our offers, industry events, and other news and products of ours and our affiliates will be processed until you indicate that you no longer wish to receive such information.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need or lawful legal ground to process your personal data, we will delete, anonymize, or aggregate it. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. If you want to know more about retention periods applicable to your particular circumstance, please contact us using the details provided in the contact section below.
