1. Privacy Policy

Integral to the service that BSR provides for its customers is its commitment to respecting your privacy online. Whenever and wherever possible, BSR will treat the information about you with utmost care and confidentiality, whether received through your use of this website, or other applications to BSR. To enable you to have a clear picture of how we may use your personal information please read below for an outline of the information that BSR gathers, how it is used, and how you can "opt-out". Sending your CV to BSR or uploading any information to this website confirms your understanding and acceptance of these policies and procedures.

What information do we collect?

In order for us to provide you with the service you require we will need to collect, store and process your personal details, including:

• Your name;
• Your email address;
• Information that you provide on your CV and covering email/letter;
• Information that you provide as part of the website registration process; and
• Other information that you tell us about your job preferences and requirements.

In some circumstances the information which you provide us will constitute sensitive personal data. Ordinarily this will include information about your racial or ethnic origin, your communal origin or religious beliefs, but may also, where you provide it, include information about your political affiliations or opinions, philosophical beliefs, criminal record, trade union membership health or sex life. We will only collate this information if you decide to send it to us. You may choose to provide us with such sensitive information if you wish, but it is not necessary for us to provide our services.

How we use your information

We use information held about you in the following ways:

To provide you with information about job vacancies or our recruitment services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you.

To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.

To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so.

To carry out market research and marketing analysis for prospective clients; or to disseminate and conduct confidential candidate or market surveys. Any survey information or reports released will be purely statistical and will not contain any personal information.

To notify you about changes to our service.

As part of the recruitment service that BSR provides, it is necessary that we share your information amongst our recruitment consultants. We will only transfer your information to a prospective employer once we have your express permission to do so. This will normally be done verbally or telephonically.

Where we store your personal information

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination that is not governed by data protection laws. Typically, this will include, where the circumstances dictate, sending your personal information and CV to prospective employers in countries throughout the Middle East and Africa, which do not have the same system of data protection laws as in jurisdictions such as the EU, North America and Dubai International Financial Centre. Your personal information may also be processed by staff operating in such jurisdictions who work for us, our affiliates or sister companies. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, providing recruitment services, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. BSR will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Security

It is important to BSR that all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Whilst we cannot always ensure that your personal information will not be lost or misused, we do keep our security measures under regular review to maintain their effectiveness.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet or email is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

IP Addresses and Cookies

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and internal marketing and business statistics. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us:

• To estimate our audience size and usage pattern.
• To store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our site according to your individual interests.
• To speed up your searches.
• To recognise you when you return to our site.
• You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site.

Disclosure of your information

We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, affiliates, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets. If BSR or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
v If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use or terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BSR, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Data Protection and your rights

BSR will store your personal data securely for a maximum period of six years from the date of your last visit to our website, or from the date of any subsequent verbal or written communication that we have with you.

Under our Privacy Policy you have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold on you. It is important to BSR that the information we hold on you is as accurate as possible. Therefore, should you wish, you also have the right to correct or update any of the information which we hold on you. Any access request for personal information may be subject to a fee of $50 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.

If you would like to make a request for your personal information, please send a written request to: Privacy Policy@balkansr.com You also have the right to ask us not to continue using your personal information.
