Protecting Your Journey with Us

At THYNK, we’re committed to fostering talent and building a team that drives innovation. If you’re applying to join us, we value your trust and take your privacy seriously. This Candidates Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information during the recruitment process—whether you apply through our website (www.digisignals.com), third-party job boards, or other channels. It applies to all candidates, including those seeking permanent, temporary, freelance, or internship roles with THYNK.

Our goal is to be transparent about how we handle your personal data—information that identifies you, such as your name, contact details, or resume (“Personal Data”). This Policy is separate from our general Privacy Notice, which covers Site users and clients. Please read it carefully to understand our practices. By submitting your application, you acknowledge this Policy.

Who We Are

THYNK is a global leader in digital marketing, brand strategy, and AI-driven solutions, headquartered at [Insert Address]. We act as the “data controller” for Personal Data collected during recruitment, determining how and why it’s processed. If you have questions, see “Contact Us” below.

What Personal Data We Collect

We collect Personal Data to evaluate your candidacy and manage the hiring process. This may include:

Basic Information: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.

Application Details: Resume/CV, cover letter, employment history, education, skills, and references.

Assessment Data: Results from interviews, tests, or exercises you complete as part of the process.

Communication Data: Correspondence with us via email, phone, or other channels.

Voluntary Information: Additional details you choose to share, like portfolio links or diversity data (e.g., for equal opportunity monitoring, where permitted).

Automated Data: IP address, device info, or cookies if you apply via our Site (see our Privacy Notice for details).

We collect this data when you:

  • Submit an application directly to us.
  • Apply through a third-party platform (e.g., LinkedIn, job boards).
  • Participate in interviews or assessments.
  • Are referred to us by a recruiter or employee.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We process your Personal Data for recruitment purposes, based on legal grounds like consent, legitimate interests, or contract necessity:

To Assess Your Fit: Review applications, conduct interviews, and evaluate qualifications (Legal basis: legitimate interests, pre-contract steps).

To Communicate: Contact you about your application, schedule interviews, or provide updates (Legal basis: legitimate interests, consent).

To Improve Recruitment: Analyze trends (anonymized where possible) to enhance our hiring process (Legal basis: legitimate interests).

To Meet Legal Obligations: Comply with employment laws, equal opportunity regulations, or background check requirements where applicable (Legal basis: legal obligation).

To Retain Talent: With your consent, keep your data for future opportunities if you’re not selected (Legal basis: consent).

How We Share Your Personal Data

We protect your data and share it only when necessary:

Within THYNK: With HR, hiring managers, and interviewers involved in your recruitment.

With Service Providers: Third parties like applicant tracking systems, background check providers, or video interview platforms, bound by confidentiality agreements.

With Legal Authorities: If required by law or to protect our rights (e.g., in disputes).

With Your Consent: For example, sharing with a partner company for a joint role.

We don’t sell your data or share it beyond what’s needed for recruitment.

Data Retention

We keep your Personal Data only as long as necessary:

Active Applications: Retained during the hiring process and for a reasonable period after (e.g., 6-12 months, depending on local laws) to address disputes or consider you for similar roles.

Future Opportunities: If you opt in, we may retain your data longer (e.g., up to 2 years) to contact you about new openings.

Legal Requirements: Kept as mandated by employment or tax laws.

Once no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize your data.

Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), you may have rights over your Personal Data:

Access: Request what data we hold about you.

Correction: Update inaccurate details.

Deletion: Ask us to erase your data, subject to legal exceptions.

Restriction: Limit how we process your data in certain cases.

Portability: Receive your data in a structured format.

Objection: Opt out of processing for future opportunities.

To exercise these rights, contact us (see below). We’ll respond within legal timeframes (e.g., 30 days under GDPR).

Data Security

We protect your Personal Data with:

Encryption: Securing data in transit and at rest.

Access Controls: Limiting who can view your information.

Regular Audits: Ensuring our systems remain secure.

While we strive for robust protection, no method is 100% foolproof. We act quickly to address any risks (see our Information Security and Compliance page).

International Transfers

As a global company, we may transfer your data to countries outside your region (e.g., the U.S.), where laws differ. We use safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure equivalent protection.

Third-Party Platforms

If you apply via third-party sites (e.g., Indeed, LinkedIn), their privacy policies govern data shared with them. We’re responsible only for data we receive and process.
