Privacy Policy

1. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

  • Performance of a Contract: To provide you with the requested employment intermediation services.
  • Consent: For the sending of marketing communications and the processing of special categories of data (sensitive data).
  • Legitimate Interest: To improve the security of our sites and conduct internal statistical analysis to optimise our platforms.

2. ABOUT OUR PRIVACY POLICY

The policy of CaribbeanJobs.com is to build full trust with our users. To that end, we have developed this unified Privacy Policy so that users of any of our domains clearly understand what personal information we collect, for what purposes, and with whom it is shared.

Acceptance and Consent
The processing of your personal data is based on your free, prior and explicit consent. By ticking the acceptance box and completing your registration, you confirm that you have read, understood and fully accepted the conditions set out in this Privacy Policy. You may withdraw this consent at any time through the contact channels indicated herein.

Transparency in Processing
We are committed to processing your data under the principles of lawfulness, fairness and transparency. The information provided will be managed confidentially and used solely for the legitimate purposes described in this policy and those expressly authorised by the data subject.

Updates and Notifications
This policy may be amended to comply with new legal requirements or service improvements. In the event of substantial updates that affect your rights or the processing of your data, we will notify users through our platforms or via email, ensuring that processing always remains under informed consent.

3. INFORMATION SECURITY

Security Standard (CISO)
We implement state-of-the-art technical and organisational measures, including data encryption, next-generation firewalls and intrusion detection protocols, aimed at ensuring the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information.
Our infrastructure undergoes periodic security reviews to mitigate the risk of unauthorised access.

Transmission Security
While we apply robust security protocols, the user acknowledges that data transmissions over open networks are not absolutely invulnerable.
We therefore urge users to keep their access credentials confidential and to use secure connections. The company will act with due diligence and activate its Incident Response Plan in the event of any detected anomaly.

4. INFORMATION COLLECTED AND ITS PURPOSE

To provide our employment intermediation services, CaribbeanJobs.com collects the following categories of data through its local domains, under the principles of proportionality and data minimisation:

  • Registration and Account Data: Name, surname, email address, age, gender, access credentials and occupational profile.
  • Professional Profile Information: Data contained in curricula vitae, educational history, work experience, salary expectations and professional assessments.
  • Special Categories of Data (Sensitive): In compliance with international regulations, we inform you that we will only process sensitive data (such as ethnic origin, religion or criminal records) under explicit, independent and prior consent, or where there is a legal requirement that justifies it for the selection process.
  • Interaction and Preferences: Information about job applications, responses to satisfaction surveys and platform usage patterns to improve the user experience.

5. SHARED USE AND INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

As an integral part of Caribbean Jobs LTD, user data may be hosted on centralised infrastructure and shared with group companies and authorised technology providers. Such international transfers are underpinned by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and technical encryption measures, guaranteeing a level of protection equivalent to that required by the GDPR, regardless of the geographical location of the processing.

6. INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THIRD PARTIES AND PARTNERS

We occasionally facilitate access to promotions or services from business partners through our platforms:

  • Independent Responsibility: Information that the user provides directly on third-party websites is controlled exclusively by those entities under their own legal responsibility.
  • External Policies: We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of each third party before providing your data. CaribbeanJobs.com accepts no responsibility for the processing practices, security or use of information carried out by companies outside our corporate group.

7. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION AND RECIPIENTS

To provide our employment intermediation services across any of our local domains, we collect and process different categories of information:

1. Personal and Account Data
During registration, we may collect your name, surname, email address, age, gender, access credentials (username and password), occupation, company and professional interests. The more accurate information you provide, the better we can personalise the offers and services you receive.

2. Professional Profile and Applications
We collect data contained in your curricula vitae (CV) and cover letters, including educational history, details of previous employment, work requirements, salary expectations, as well as the job applications you make through the platform, your company ratings and survey responses.

3. Special Categories of Data
In compliance with local regulations as well as applicable international rules and standards, we inform you that, in certain circumstances and always under your explicit consent, we may process sensitive information (such as ethnic origin, religion or criminal records) when strictly necessary for the selection process or as required by law.

4. Data Transfers and Corporate Group
As part of Caribbean Jobs LTD, your information may be managed through our global platforms and shared with other companies within our corporate group and authorised service providers. These transfers are carried out solely to ensure the proper provision of the requested services.

5. Promotions and Third Parties
We may request additional information for special events, contests or promotions.
External Partners: Our sites may contain links to partners offering goods and services. Information that the user provides directly on those external sites is collected by such third parties under their own privacy policies.
Responsibility: We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of each partner on their corresponding website before providing any personal data.

8. DATA CONTROLLER AND PURPOSES OF DATA USE

  • Identity of the Data Controller: All information provided through our platforms is collected and processed by the relevant local legal entity corresponding to the browsing domain (see Legal Entities Table). Your data is used under principles of lawfulness for purposes of employment intermediation and professional development.
  • Strategic Partner Communications: We have partners who share information of professional interest. However, your data will only be processed for this purpose if you have given your explicit consent. You retain full control and may revoke this permission through the “unsubscribe” mechanism present in each communication or from your settings panel.
    All communications from our partners are managed and filtered by CaribbeanJobs.com.

9. WHAT THE COLLECTED INFORMATION IS USED FOR

All information collected through our Websites is primarily intended to facilitate the connection between candidates and employers. Specifically, data is used for the following purposes:

  • Service Provision and Personalisation: To provide content, services and advertising tailored to user preferences during their browsing of any of our platforms.
  • Research and Statistical Analysis: To conduct internal studies on demographics, interests and browsing behaviour to better understand user needs and improve the quality of our services. This analysis is generally carried out on aggregated and anonymised data.
  • Job Alert Management: If the user registers on our portals, they may opt to receive “Job Alerts” by email. To optimise the experience across various devices, these alerts include a personalised link that automatically recognises the user, allowing them to apply for vacancies swiftly without needing to log in each time.
    Security Note: As these links are unique and allow access to your profile, you are responsible for keeping them confidential and not sharing them on social media or with third parties to prevent unauthorised applications being made in your name.
  • Communication and Marketing: To send updates, news or information about products and services that may be of interest to you, provided we have your prior consent or a legitimate interest exists, allowing the user to unsubscribe at any time.

10. COMMUNICATION AND TRANSFER OF INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

Our platforms maintain a strict confidentiality policy. As a general rule, we will not sell, assign or transfer your personal data to third parties, except in the following legitimate circumstances:

  • Consent for Third-Party Marketing: Your data will only be used by strategic partners for direct marketing purposes (calls, emails or messaging) if you have given your explicit and prior approval. You retain the right to revoke this consent at any time.
  • Fulfilment of the Service Purpose: In the case of vacancy applications or transactions requested by the user, data will be communicated to the necessary employers or providers exclusively to complete and execute the management that prompted the provision of information.
  • Legal Obligation: We will disclose only the information strictly required by law, court order or competent authority through a legally valid procedure.
  • Information in Public Areas: The user is advised that any information they choose to voluntarily share in public areas of the site (forums, chats or comments) may be collected by third parties. In such cases, the platform cannot guarantee the privacy of that information, and the user bears sole responsibility for its disclosure.

11. SECURITY MEASURES TO PROTECT INFORMATION

CaribbeanJobs.com has the necessary technology in place and implements the required technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, protecting user data against accidental loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration.

  • Protection Systems: We use security management systems including Firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and virus scanners across all our platforms.
  • Encryption: We apply encryption protocols during data transmission in sections of the site where security is critical.
  • Restricted Access: Once information is received, we employ strict procedures and security features to endeavour to prevent any unauthorised access.
  • Shared Responsibility: Where a password is provided to the user, they are responsible for keeping it confidential and not sharing it with third parties.
  • Note on Internet Risk: Although we make our best efforts to protect your personal information, the user acknowledges that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as 100% secure; therefore, any transmission is carried out at their own risk.

12. ACCESS, UPDATE AND DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA (ARCO RIGHTS)

We guarantee all our users, whether candidates or company representatives, full control over their personal information. Regardless of whether an active commercial relationship exists or whether you have only participated in events, contests or mailing lists, you have the following rights:

  • Access and Rectification: You may view and modify the information held in our databases at any time to ensure it is accurate and up to date.
  • Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request the permanent deletion of your data from our systems.
  • Portability and Objection: You may object to the processing of your data for specific purposes or request a copy of your information in a structured format. You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another data controller.
  • Restriction of Processing: You may request that we suspend the processing of your data in specific circumstances (for example, while its accuracy is being verified).
  • Objection: The right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data.
  • Data Management: Access, modification or deletion of personal information must be carried out autonomously through the Control Panel. Should you be unable to access your account or require additional assistance to exercise these rights, you may contact our Technical Support team or the Data Protection Officer through the official channels indicated in the contact section.

13. DATA PROTECTION OFFICER (DPO)

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer who oversees regulatory compliance across all our domains. For any queries, complaints or exercise of rights, you may contact them directly at: info@caribbeanjobs.com

14. SECURITY BREACH NOTIFICATION

In the event of a personal data security breach that poses a high risk to the rights and freedoms of users, we undertake to notify the data subject and the relevant supervisory authorities within a maximum period of 72 hours, in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR.

15. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

As we operate globally and use the centralised infrastructure of Caribbean Jobs LTD, your data may be transferred to countries outside your local jurisdiction.
We guarantee that such transfers are carried out under appropriate safeguards, using Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or equivalent mechanisms that ensure an adequate level of protection.

16. DATA RETENTION PERIOD

Personal data will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations.
In the case of curricula vitae and professional profiles, data that remains inactive for a period of more than 7 years will be securely deleted or anonymised to protect your privacy.

17. COOKIE MANAGEMENT AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons) to identify your browser, collect IP addresses and analyse traffic patterns. These tools allow us to personalise your experience, remember your preferences and improve site security.
You have the right to configure your browser to refuse all cookies, although this may limit the functionality of certain areas of the platform.

18. AUTOMATED DECISIONS AND PROFILING

We inform you that we use automated processing to evaluate the suitability of your profile against the specifications of vacant positions.
However, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing if this produces legal effects or significantly affects you, and you may request human intervention in the process.

19. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our services are directed exclusively at persons with the legal capacity to contract under applicable local law. We do not intentionally collect data from children and adolescents without the verifiable consent of their parents or legal guardians.

20. LIABILITY FOR INTERCEPTION AND LINKS TO THIRD PARTIES

Although we use strict security measures, the user acknowledges that the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure and is carried out at their own risk.
The site may contain links to third-party websites (partner networks, advertisers, etc.) which have their own privacy policies, for which we accept no responsibility.

21. TECHNICAL SECURITY MEASURES

The platform ensures security through:

  • Perimeter Protection: Use of Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) across the entire network.
  • Integrity: Constant scanning for viruses and malware.
  • Confidentiality: Data encryption during transmission in critical sections.
  • Secure Access: The user is responsible for safeguarding their password and not sharing it with third parties.

22. RELATIONSHIP WITH RECRUITERS

When applying for a vacancy, you authorise the sending of your information to the Client (employer or agency).
From that point, the Client acts as an independent Data Controller.
If you wish to modify or delete data submitted directly to a Client, you must contact that third party directly.

23. LEGAL ENTITIES TABLE (ART. 10)
