At Aristo Search, we recognize that your privacy is of paramount importance. Specifically, as a global executive search and recruitment firm, we handle sensitive professional data with the highest level of confidentiality and security. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other international standards.
To provide world-class recruitment services, we must collect certain personal and professional details. In general, we categorize this data as follows:
Candidate Data: This includes your name, contact details, resume, employment history, and educational background. Furthermore, we may collect interview notes and assessment results.
Client Data: We collect information regarding hiring managers and company stakeholders to facilitate our search mandates.
Website Usage Data: Additionally, we collect technical information such as your IP address and browsing behavior through cookies to improve our digital experience.
Aristo Search processes your information for specific, legitimate business purposes. Consequently, your data is primarily used to:
Match your professional profile with suitable leadership opportunities.
Communicate with you regarding potential mandates or market insights.
In addition, we use data to improve our service delivery and maintain our 15-day time-to-fill standards.
Comply with legal and regulatory obligations across our operating regions.
Because we operate in the UK and EU, we ensure all data processing has a valid legal basis.
Legitimate Interest: Most of our recruitment activity is conducted under “legitimate interest,” as we connect professionals with career-enhancing roles.
Consent: However, where required by law, we will seek your explicit consent before sharing your details with specific third-party clients.
Contractual Necessity: Moreover, processing may be necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to our clients.
Aristo Search is a global organization. As a result, your data may be transferred across international borders.
Sharing with Clients: We only share candidate data with clients who have a genuine hiring need. Specifically, we vet all clients to ensure they maintain high data protection standards.
International Transfers: When data moves between the US, UK, EU, or Australia, we utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure your rights remain protected.
No Sale of Data: Importantly, Aristo Search does not sell your personal information to third-party marketers.
Regardless of your location, Aristo Search empowers you with control over your data. Therefore, you have the following rights:
The Right to Access: You may request a copy of the information we hold about you at any time.
The Right to Erasure: Similarly, you have the “right to be forgotten” and can request that we delete your data from our systems.
The Right to Rectification: If your professional details change, you have the right to update your profile.
Opt-Out (CCPA): California residents may specifically request that their data not be shared for certain commercial purposes.
We have implemented robust technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access. Specifically, we use encryption and secure servers to house all professional records.
Regarding retention, we only store your data for as long as it is necessary for our recruitment services or to meet legal requirements. Subsequently, if we have had no meaningful contact with you for a period of five years, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized.
If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your data rights, please contact our compliance team.
