HiringHole , and its affiliates (“HiringHole,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) offer Services that facilitate completion of pre-employment processes that connect job applicants, candidates and/or job seekers (“Candidate(s)”) with recruiters, hiring managers and /or further interviewers (“Recruiters”) acting on behalf of our clients, the employers (“Employers” or “Clients”).

Candidates, Recruiters and Employers may be collectively referred to in this Notice as “Users.”  As part of our Services, we Process your data which may identify, or can be used to help identify, you as a User (such identifiable personal data hereafter “Personal Data”). While we use Personal Data for this Notice, please note that personal data, personal information or personally identifiable information are all used depending on the applicable law. This Notice describes the types of Personal Data as well as the purposes for which we Process it.

HiringHole is headquartered in the Gurugram, India and has affiliates, Clients and third-party service providers around the world. Our primary address and the locations of our affiliates are located at the end of this Notice.

This Notice describes how we will use of your Personal Data when you utilize our Services, visit our websites and access our social media pages. It also describes your rights with regards to your Personal Data. More information about your rights, and how to exercise them, is set out in the “Your Rights” section below.

COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Depending on how we receive your Personal Data and for what purposes you or the Employer provides it, we may be in the role of a data controller (“Controller“) determining the purposes and means of Processing your Personal Data, or we may be in the role of a data processor (“Processor“) Processing your Personal Data on behalf of our Clients (i.e., the Controllers). We anticipate that most, if not all, of the time we will be in the role of a Processor with respect to your Personal Data.

HiringHole as Processor

HiringHole’s business is based on being a Processor of Personal Data through the use of our Services. This means that we act on behalf of our Clients (i.e., Employers) and Process your Personal Data on their instructions. Our Clients are typically the Controllers of the Personal Data that we Process. As the Controller, our Client determines the purposes for which Personal Data obtained through our Services is Processed, and the Client has the obligation to determine the legal basis that allows our Processing. Our Client’s privacy statements may have further details about their activities. Depending on the jurisdiction in which we operate, the terms “Processor” and “Controller” may have different designations, but the concepts behind the terminology are consistent. For example, a Processor may be referred to under some regulations as a “service provider” or other terminology and a Controller may be referred to as a “business” or other terminology. For simplicity, we use the Processor/Controller terms throughout this Notice.

HiringHole does not intend to Process sensitive types of data such as health information, political opinions, religious beliefs, social security numbers, date of birth, driver’s license numbers, and/or financial information, and our Services are not intended to store this type of data either. HiringHole may incidentally Process information pertaining to a User’s gender, race, or ethnicity if those characteristics are captured or could be inferred by video, but such characteristics play no role in how our Services are provided. In addition, our Services do not analyze or measure facial features, facial expressions, eye movements or tone of voice for any purpose, including identification. You may also upload information into our Services which may contain sensitive data; we do not anticipate being required to Process this sensitive data as part of our Services.

In the event you elect to provide any information that is acquired through a recording (i.e., video or voice), we do not use such recordings for identification purposes (i.e., they are not digitally analyzed or processed into voiceprints or facial recognition files) and therefore do not consider these recordings to be biometric data as defined in or subject to some laws. However, we treat your Personal Data as confidential even if it does not meet the definition under applicable law for additional data privacy obligations. You may contact us at any time with questions you may have about your Personal Data and our Processing of the same through the Contact Information below.
