Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Language Talents ([legal company name and registered address], "we") collects on languagetalents.com, why we use it, who can see it and how long we keep it. Your rights, and how to use them, are explained on our Data Protection page.

What we collect

Job seekers

Name, email address, phone number (if you give it), country, main language and other languages, professional title, experience, skills, your About you text and your LinkedIn link.
Your resume and, if you add one, your cover letter.
Your password. We only store a scrambled version of it.
The time you accepted our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The jobs you pressed Apply on while you were logged in.

Employers

Company name, your name, email address, phone number and website, and your password (scrambled).
The messages you send us from your account.

Everyone

Messages you send through our contact forms: your name, email address, company, phone number, website and your message.
Technical visit data: the pages you open, which parts of a page you look at and for how long, and clicks on Apply buttons. We do not save your IP address in our database. We make a scrambled code from your address, browser and the day. It changes every day, it lets us count visitors, and it cannot be turned back into who you are. Our hosting provider may keep technical server logs.
One essential cookie. See our Cookies Policy.

Why we use it and our legal basis

To create and run your account, show your profile and give you the services you ask for. (Performance of a contract.)
To share your profile and resume with employers who are approved members of our Resume Database. You agree to this when you register by ticking the box, and you can withdraw your consent by deleting your account. (Consent.)
To answer your messages and to send you emails about your account, such as password reset links. (Contract and legitimate interests.)
To keep the Site secure, prevent abuse and count visits so we can improve the Site. (Legitimate interests.)
To keep records the law requires us to keep, for example for accounting when employers pay. (Legal obligation.)

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decisions that significantly affect you.

Who can see your data

Approved employer members can see the profiles, contact details, resumes and cover letters of job seekers in the Resume Database.
Us. Only authorised administrators can see all data.
Service providers that help us run the Site and act on our instructions: our hosting provider ([hosting provider name]) and our email provider (Google, for sending and receiving email).
Authorities, if the law requires us to share data.
Third-party sites. When you press Apply you leave our Site. The employer or partner you reach handles your data under its own privacy policy.

How long we keep it

Job seeker profiles, resumes and cover letters: until you delete your account. Deleting your account removes them from the Site.
Employer accounts: until you or we delete the account.
Messages: [for example 24 months] after the last contact, unless we need them longer for legal reasons.
Visit data: [for example 14 months].
Backups of our database may still hold deleted data for a short time until they are overwritten.

Where your data is stored

Your data is stored on the servers of our hosting provider ([country or region]). If data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place.

Children

The Site is not meant for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Your rights and contact

You can see, correct, download and delete your data, and object to certain uses. Most of this you can do yourself in My account. For everything else, or if you have a question or a complaint, write to contact@languagetalents.com. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority. See our Data Protection page for details.
