• Legal obligations: Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal requirement.
• Other permitted grounds: Where another legal basis is recognized by the law that applies.

Not every legal basis applies in every jurisdiction. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before the withdrawal.

We may disclose personal information in the circumstances described below, subject to applicable law and the purpose for which the information was collected.

6.1 Prospective Employers and Recruitment Partners

Where relevant to recruitment or placement, we may share a candidate's resume, professional profile, qualifications, skills, experience, and other relevant information with prospective employers, clients, or recruitment partners.

We aim to make these disclosures with the candidate's knowledge or authorization, where appropriate, and with consent or another applicable legal basis where required.

Candidates may contact us if they have questions about how their information may be considered for future opportunities.

6.2 Service Providers

We may use third-party providers to support our operations, including website hosting, business email, communications, form processing, document handling, storage, website security, diagnostics, recruitment, training, and business management tools.

These providers may process information on our behalf where necessary to deliver their services. Where required, we seek appropriate contractual protections, access restrictions, and security measures.

The actual providers involved depend on our technical and operational arrangements. This policy does not imply that every listed type of provider is currently in use.

6.3 Stenzo Tech Entities and Internal Business Operations

Where the relevant Stenzo Tech entities work together to provide a requested service, information may be shared between the entities or their authorized personnel where necessary for recruitment, candidate support, business administration, technical operations, or another disclosed and lawful purpose.

Such sharing will take place only where an applicable legal basis and any required notices, consents, agreements, and safeguards are in place.

The entities may have different responsibilities depending on the activity. We do not assume that every entity has access to every record.

6.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosures

We may disclose information where required by law, valid legal process, a court order, or a competent authority. We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, investigate suspected fraud, address security concerns, or protect individuals, subject to applicable law.

6.5 Business Transactions

If a relevant Stenzo Tech entity is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of business assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements and appropriate safeguards.

6.6 At Your Direction or With Authorization

We may disclose information when you ask us to do so, authorize the disclosure, or where another lawful basis permits it.

We do not sell personal information to third-party data brokers for money. Any other sale, sharing, or disclosure that is regulated by applicable privacy law will be handled in accordance with that law and any required notice or choice.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functionality, maintain security, remember privacy preferences, and provide other features where implemented.

The presence of a cookie category in our consent interface does not mean that every category is currently active. Actual use depends on the website's technical configuration and the services enabled.

Where applicable law requires consent, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will not be activated before the relevant consent has been obtained.

For more information about cookie categories, preference controls, and similar technologies, please read our Cookie Policy at https://stenzotech.com/cookie-policy/.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking account of the nature of the information, the services involved, applicable legal requirements, and legitimate business needs.

Retention periods may vary by category:

• Contact enquiries: For the time needed to respond, follow up, maintain relevant business records, and address related issues.
• Candidate profiles and resumes: For recruitment activities, relevant future opportunities, candidate communications, and appropriate recordkeeping.
• Recruitment records: For managing applications, interviews, placement activities, and relevant legal or business obligations.
• Employer enquiries: For evaluating hiring requirements, maintaining business relationships, and administering relevant engagements.
• Training and career-support information: For providing requested support and maintaining appropriate service or learning records.
• Technical and security logs: For the period reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, and operational purposes.
• Cookie and consent records: According to the relevant technology, configuration, and applicable legal requirements.

We do not assign a universal retention period to all information. When personal information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise dispose of it securely, subject to lawful retention obligations.

You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, and misuse.

Depending on the systems involved, these measures may include access restrictions, appropriate permissions, secure communications, software updates, monitoring, and other safeguards.

We seek to limit access to personal information to individuals and service providers who need it for legitimate business purposes.

No website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

If a personal data breach occurs, we will take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

10. International Data Transfers

Stenzo Tech serves candidates and businesses across multiple markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other locations where relevant opportunities or services are available.

Depending on the relevant entity, recruitment relationship, service provider, and operational arrangements, personal information may be transferred to or processed in a country other than the country in which it was collected.

Data protection laws may differ between countries. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we will take the steps required by that law.

The specific safeguards and transfer mechanisms depend on the countries involved, the recipients, and the applicable legal requirements.

11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, the applicable law, and the circumstances of the processing, you may have rights concerning your personal information. These may include:

• Access: Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: Request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.
• Portability: Request a copy of certain information in a portable format where the law provides this right.
• Restriction or objection: Request restriction of, or object to, certain processing where applicable.

Some laws also provide rights relating to sensitive personal information, automated processing, or the use of authorized agents. The availability and scope of these rights depend on the law that applies.

We do not promise that every listed right applies in every jurisdiction or circumstance.

Where applicable law establishes a different age threshold or additional requirements, those requirements apply.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact hello@stenzotech.com so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
