As sole owner of all information collected via this web site or received by email, BOC INSTITUTE is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal data. This statement summarizes our commitment to policies regarding the collection, use and transfer of your personal data, the security measures BOC INSTITUTE employs to protect such data and your right to access.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

BOC INSTITUTE is an HR solution provider and collects a variety of personal data necessary to provide such services in a proprietary and highly confidential database accessible only by BOC INSTITUTE. Categories of personally identifiable data include: career history, education history, professional experience, resume/CV, contact information and other related information. By choosing to include your personal information in our database via this web site or received by email, you indicate your willingness to disclose this information to BOC INSTITUTE and to be considered, when appropriate, for one of BOC INSTITUTE’s projects.

It is not our policy to seek any sensitive information through our web site or via email. Sensitive information includes data relating to race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sexual life, or criminal record. We suggest that you do not provide sensitive information of this nature. If you do wish to provide sensitive information for any reason, BOC INSTITUTE accepts your explicit consent to use that information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy or as described at the point where you choose to disclose.

HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

We will collect, use, disclose, retain and transfer Personal Information for purposes such as: (1) for an search & selection assignment and/or career development projects being conducted by us under an agreement with one of our clients which involves assistance with the identification, evaluation and/or selection of qualified candidates to fill an vacant position with that client; (b) to gather statistical diversity and other information about our business, (c) to check or confirm references; to verify the accuracy of Personal Information and conduct appropriate credit and background checks; and (d) to generally develop and improve our services.

In order to present you as a potential candidate or execute services within our portfolio your personal data may be shared with our clients (provided we have your consent). BOC INSTITUTE is committed to implementing the appropriate data integrity and security measures required to protect your information.

By choosing to enter your personal information via this web site or sending it by email, you indicate your willingness to store provided personal data within our database for indefinite period with the possibility for you to access, copy, update, correct, block or even cancel stored data and that BOC INSTITUTE can explicitly share and have your information transferred, when appropriate, for one of BOC INSTITUTE’s confidential projects.

You always have the right to access and request that we rectify erroneous or inaccurate Personal Information related to you that we have retained and stored by contacting us and demonstrating such inaccuracy or incompleteness to our satisfaction. If you would like to exercise one of these rights or if you no longer want us to retain Personal Information, or contact you later for other suitable positions, please contact us at any time at boc@boc.institute

BOC INSTITUTE does not sell or share your personal information for related or unrelated purposes to non-licensee third parties, unless otherwise stated at the time of collection or required by law. If at any time we decide to use personal data in a manner different from that stated as the time it was collected, we will notify you and give you a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. No notification and choice will be sought, however, if BOC INSTITUTE is compelled or required by applicable law, statute, regulation, ordinance or court order to disclose personal data.

HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Your personal information may also be used anonymously and in the aggregate in order to put together industry, marketing and employment statistics. Used in this matter, your personal information becomes non-identifying.
