Privacy Policy

1. Collection and Retention of Information

EBSC only gathers user information that it actually needs. It only stores name, e-mail address and contact information in its database and/or servers in India, and does not store any sensitive personal data such as credit card or debit card information (except, where applicable, with the User's permission within secured payment gateways). In addition to basic contact details, EBSC may collect information necessary for recruitment and deployment purposes, including educational qualifications, employment history, professional licenses or certifications, police clearance certificates, visa and passport details, and results of language proficiency or skill assessments.

Collection of information is done only if EBSC needs the same for a legitimate purpose and in furtherance of the Terms and Conditions. EBSC has possession and custody of information only if (a) the User has provided the information themselves, (b) EBSC has automatically collected the information, or (c) EBSC has obtained the information from a third party.

EBSC retains Users' personal information for as long as required for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. EBSC may retain some User-specific personal information for longer periods as permitted or required by law (such as to prevent abuse, in connection with a legal claim or proceeding, to enforce its agreements, or for tax, accounting, or other legal obligations). When EBSC no longer has a legitimate need to process User information, it will delete or anonymize the information from active databases and securely store it in isolation on backup discs until deletion is possible.

Data Protection Rights (GDPR and Equivalent Laws)

If you are located in the European Union or any jurisdiction with comparable data protection laws, you have certain rights under applicable law, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. You may exercise these rights by contacting EBSC via the Contact Us section. EBSC shall process such requests in accordance with applicable law.

EBSC processes personal data under the following legal bases: (i) performance of a contract with you or your employer; (ii) compliance with legal and regulatory obligations; (iii) legitimate interests in operating recruitment and mobility services; and (iv) your consent, where applicable.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

In providing the BridgeBeyond Services, EBSC may transfer your personal information from India to the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), or other jurisdictions. Where such transfers occur, EBSC ensures that adequate safeguards are implemented, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or equivalent mechanisms, to protect your information in accordance with applicable law.

EBSC may, where legally required, collect limited special categories of data, such as medical fitness certificates, police clearance records or biometric identifiers, strictly for the purposes of compliance with employment, immigration and healthcare regulations. Such data will only be processed with explicit consent or under lawful bases permitted by applicable law.

2. Usage and Disclosure of Information

By submitting user information through the BridgeBeyond Interface, the User agrees to the terms of this Privacy Policy and expressly consents to the processing of information in accordance with the same. All information and user content submitted by the User shall be processed and stored in EBSC databases and/or servers in India. EBSC may use this information for internal purposes including contacting the User via email about updates, new services and new opportunities. EBSC may also share this information with its Business Partners who wish to contact Users for providing services based on different parameters, specifications and areas of expertise. EBSC undertakes that it shall not, at any point of time, disclose, deal, transfer, transmit, rent or sell any Information and/or User Content collected to any third-party agencies for any consideration whatsoever.

3. Data Ownership

EBSC respects the User's right to ownership of content created or stored by them. Unless specifically permitted by the User, use of the EBSC Services does not grant EBSC the license to use, reproduce, adapt, modify, publish or distribute content created by the User for EBSC's commercial, marketing or similar purposes. However, the User grants EBSC blanket permission to access, copy, distribute, store, transmit, reformat, publicly display and publicly perform the content for the purpose of providing the EBSC Services to them.

8. Consent to Receive Additional Communication

When a User provides consent to avail services from EBSC, they also agree to receive communications from EBSC such as service announcements, administrative messages and newsletters. These routine communications are considered part of using the EBSC Services. EBSC provides Users with an option to opt out of receiving newsletters. However, Users cannot opt out of receiving service announcements and administrative messages.

9. Divulgence of Confidential Information

EBSC agrees to fully cooperate with law-enforcement inquiries, court orders and decrees, and with other third parties to enforce laws such as intellectual property rights, and to prevent fraud, theft, harassment and protect other rights.

10. Notification of Changes

EBSC may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as its services change and expand. If EBSC makes substantial changes, it will post the updated policy on its website. Once the changes become effective, the User's continued use of the website shall signify unconditional acceptance of the new terms.

11. Anti-Spam Policy

This policy applies to all EBSC services that may be used for transmitting bulk emails or commercial emails, promotional messages, etc. The User agrees to EBSC's Anti-Spam Policy as a precondition to using such services unless they have provided express consent to receive such mails or messages, such as permission-based email marketing.
