2. Your data


2.1 Data provided by You (or by Your Provider for Consultants)

For the good provision of its Services, PitchandMatch needs to collect and process some personal information regarding the private persons using of the Platform, whether they are an Account Manager or a Consultant. PitchandMatch is therefore a Controller of Personal Data under this Privacy Policy.

For simple visitors, who do not create an account on the Platform, the only Personal Data collected is that mentioned in article 2.2 of the present Privacy Policy.

If you are a Consultant, the initial provision of personal information is made by Your Provider. Under our Generic Data Processing Agreement, Your Provider has the obligation to obtain your consent in order to create you a profile on the Platform.

·    For Consultants, collected data includes:

-    If Your Provider decides to create an “Anonymized Profile” for You: country of residence, gender, details regarding Your current employer and position, Your mastery of certain technologies, years of experience, Your availability for professional missions and interviews with Clients interested in Your profile;

-    If Your Provider decides to create a “Detailed Profile” for You: Your full name, home address, email address, date of birth, phone number, photo (if provided), login details, country of residence, place of birth, gender, details regarding Your current employer and position, professional and educational background and technical skills (as they would appear on a resume), nationality, Your availability for professional missions and interviews with Clients interested in Your profile.

In addition, We might collect and store links to your social networks if added on your Consultant profile. You, or the Provider representing You, should also upload Your resume on the Platform. Such resume, as it will be made available to the Clients in the matching process must be anonymized as much as possible, i.e. only contains information about Your professional and educational background as well as Your technical skills and availability; which means: no picture, no name, no contact details. It is your obligation and that of Your Provider to ensure that the resume contains such limited information. In no case could PitchandMatch be held liable if this obligation is not respected.

·    For Account Managers, collected data includes: Your full name, (work) email address, (work) phone number, details regarding Your current employer and position.

This data will be stored and use to identify You, communicate with You (especially by email) in the frame of the performance of the Services (notifications regarding actions taken in relation to your profile or in link with your account on the Platform), to send You our newsletters if you elected so (and from which you will be able to unsubscribe at any time).

Even though PitchandMatch is linked to Your Provider with a contract for the provision of Services, (Terms of Service and a Partnership Agreement) since you are not a party to such agreement, the collection, storage and processing of Your Personal Data by PitchandMatch (and further by its own service providers and the Clients registered on the Platform) is entirely based on Your consent. Your consent must be collected by Your Provider before the creation of Your profile on the Platform. If Your Provider chooses to create a Detailed Profile, since it includes much more personal information, We will send You a link to connect on the Platform and accept the creation of Your account, as well as the present Privacy Policy.

At the time of Your first visit on the Platform, PitchandMatch has already been provided with some of Your personal information as described above. If Your Provider created a Detailed Profile for You, that is how we obtained your contact details and were able to send you a message in order for you to access the Website and accept the present Privacy Policy.

Your Personal Data required is necessary for the optimal performance of the Services, should you refuse the present Privacy Policy, any of Your personal information that might already be uploaded on the Platform will be deleted without undue delay and We will not retain it except as laid out in the present Privacy Policy. In addition, we will instruct our own service providers (Subprocessors) to delete it as well.

Furthermore, You can revoke Your consent at any time by sending us an e-mail at personaldata@pitchandmatch.biz or directly from Your Profile on the Platform by simply deleting your account on the Platform (since your personal information is necessary for the provision of the Services, your consent withdrawal is equivalent to a deletion of your account and vice-versa).

After You accept the Privacy Policy and validate the creation of Your account or profile You will be given a reference number (in the format Ref-initials-number) in order to pseudonymize Your Identity, allowing Us to maintain your identity hidden for Users who do not belong to Your company (especially to avoid any undue solicitation).

If, within a period of one month after We send You a message in order for You to access the Website and You do not access the Website and/or You do not accept the Privacy Policy, We will delete all Your Personal Information from the Website and will only allow Your Provider to use professional information in an anonymized way to offer their services (as if Your Provider had created an Anonymized Profile for You).

Please note that PitchandMatch will never ask for Sensitive Data and that it is strictly forbidden to introduce any such data on the Platform. As a consequence, in no case shall PitchandMatch be liable for Sensitive Personal Data that may be introduced on the Platform by You or Your Provider.

Also, PitchandMatch is not intended for use by children under the age of 18 years old and does not collect personal information from them. If PitchandMatch learns that We have collected personal information from a child, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information from our files as soon as is practicable.

3.Initial recipients of Personal Data

Personal Data may be accessed and processed by the Account Managers or by PitchandMatch’s authorized employees or service providers (PitchandMatch’s authorized services providers are listed in Article 4.1 of the present privacy policy). PitchandMatch keeps track of all the movements of data occurring on the Platform in order to ensure the protection of Personal Data (and to be able to answer your questions about the transfers of Your Personal Data).

As soon as some of Your Personal Data is provided on the Platform (by You or Your Provider), PitchandMatch’s providers, mentioned hereunder, will have access to Your Personal Data and will process it as described. PitchandMatch needs to share Your Personal Data with its service providers in order to permit, monitor and/or analyze the use of the Platform and the performance of the Services, as well as to help Us support and maintain the Platform.

Some of our service providers whose principal establishment is based in a country outside of the EU may have to keep, process or transfer your Personal Data in said country. In this case, we make our best efforts to ensure that they respect their obligations in relation to the protection of Your Personal Data and put in place, when possible, “transfer tools” such as, for example, contractual clauses equivalent to Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission. These tools, when put in place, are also described below.

The precise scope of the processing of Your Personal Data by PitchandMatch’s providers is described hereunder:

- Formagrid Inc., doing business as AirTable, based in the United States of America. Airtable is the database provider for PitchandMatch, on which all the information concerning a user of the Services (Account Manager and Consultant) is stored. As such, all the information about You provided on the Platform (Professional Information and Personal Data) is accessible and stored by them on their server in the United States. Their privacy policy is available at: https://www.airtable.com/privacy   

Please note that we have signed a data protection agreement based on the Standard Contractual Clauses with them.

HOWEVER, WE WOULD LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT AIRTABLE IS BASED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE (ECJ) RULED THAT THE PRIVACY SHIELD FRAMEWORK, WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY ALLOWED DATA TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA FROM THE EU TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DID NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SAFEGUARDS FOR THE PROTECTION OF EU CITIZENS PERSONAL DATA, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE LAWS OF UNITED STATES AUTHORIZE LOCAL PUBLIC AUTHORITIES TO ACCESS PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERRED FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION TO THE UNITED STATES, THESE LAWS NOT BEING COMPATIBLE WITH THE EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION. THEREFORE, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE CURRENTLY CONSIDERED AS A NON-ADEQUATE COUNTRY FOR THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA.

- ClickSend, based in Australia. ClickSend is the intermediary used to send you an SMS when Your account (Consultant profile) is created for You to connect to it. As such, they have access and store the following information: first name and phone number. Their privacy policy is available at: https://www.clicksend.com/eu/legal/privacy-policy/

Please note that they provide their users with a data protection agreement based on the Standard Contractual Clauses.

HOWEVER, WE WOULD LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT CLICKSEND IS BASED IN AUSTRALIA, AND THEREFORE OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. THE SAME WARNING AS FOR THE UNITED STATES APPLIES.

- Softr (Softr Platforms GmbH), based in Germany. Softr is used for the interface of the Platform. As such they have access all the information about You provided on the Platform. As a consequence, they process Personal Data in accordance to EU laws. Their privacy policy is available at: https://www.softr.io/policy

- Make (formerly Integromat), based in Czech Republic. Make is the MiddleWare between AirTable and Softr. They have access to all of Your information (Professional Information and Personal Data). Their privacy policy, made by Celonis, Inc., is available at: https://www.make.com/en/privacy-notice

Moreover, when creating a Consultant profile, Your Provider can choose to fill-in the necessary information manually or to use an API to OpenAI (OpenAI, LLC, with registered office at 3180 18th St., San Francisco, CA 94110) available on the Platform. Such API allows the automatic extraction of information from Your resume and the aggregation of the necessary information in the Platform’s format. This tool makes it easier and faster to create a Consultant profile. HOWEVER, OpenAI is based in the United States of America, so, even though we have signed a Data processing Agreement with them, the same warning as before applies. Since it is an optional tool, Your Provider will be fully liable if using it without Your Consent (We have added a disclaimer on the Platform to ensure they are aware of this). In any case, the resume dragged and dropped should not contain any of your contact details (name, surname, phone number and email address) as it is the most sensitive Personal Data that can be provided. OpenAI’s privacy policy can be consulted here: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy

As a result of a subpoena, court order, warrant, or other legal process, We may disclose Personal Data and other related information as necessary. We may also choose to exercise Our legal rights against any such action.

PitchandMatch’s service providers mentioned above may send you marketing emails or calls.

To see who the further recipients of the Data in the frame of the Services are, read article 4 below.

 

4. Processing of Data in the frame of the Services

Your Personal Data will be processed confidentially within the Company. Regarding other transfers, please read the sub-sections below.

 

4.1 Personal Data transfer to Clients

For the purpose of the Services, Personal Data may be transferred to other users of the Platform, especially towards Clients if You are a Consultant (at the initiative of Your Provider). It is therefore, again, the responsibility of Your Provider to ensure that You have consented for the creation of Your profile on the Platform and the submission of Your profile to the relevant Clients.  

As an Account Manager, Your Personal Data will be made available to another Provider of Client if they, respectively, submitted a Consultant profile you confirm You are interested in or confirm that they are interested in one of Your Consultant. (Indeed, when there is a “match” of interests, a common e-mail is sent to both the Provider’s and the Client’s Account Manager, in order to allow them to communicate with each other).

Once a Consultant profile is created, such Consultant’s Provider can submit Consultant’s profile to one or more Clients registered on the Platform. The Client will have access to limited Personal Data (Professional Data of the Consultant) but if Consultant’s resume is uploaded on the Consultant’s Portal, it will also be transferred to the Client, that is why it is HIGHLY IMPORTANT to upload only anonymized versions of Consultant’s resumes. Moreover, if Provider wants to use the OpenAI API in order to extract information from a Consultant’s resume as mentioned above, We reiterate that it is HIGHLY IMPORTANT not to use a resume containing the most Personal Data of said Consultant (i.e. name and contact details) as such information will be made available to OpenAI, which is based in the United States of America. Consultant’s name and contact details shall be added manually by Provider after the extraction of the resume’s other information. If as a Consultant you do not wish Your personal information to be transferred to specific Clients We advise you to inform Your Provider of such choice in the first place. However, you can also inform Us (at personaldata@pitchandmatch.biz) and we will take technical measures to ensure that Your personal information is not transferable to such Client.

 

4.2 Data transfer to PitchandMatch’s service providers

4.2.1 Continued transfer to initial recipient of Data

The acceptance of the present Privacy Policy furthers Your Consent for the continued transmission of Your Personal Data towards PitchandMatch’s service providers already mentioned as initial recipients of Personal Data in article 3 above, as well as to Clients registered on the Platform. In any case, as mentioned above, it is first the responsibility of Your Provider to obtain Your Consent prior to the creation of Your Consultant profile.

4.3 Matchmaking tool (automatic decision making).

Please note that for the good provision of he Services, PitchandMatch has included a matchmaking tool which will analyze the technical requirements of the Clients to suggest automatically the Consultant profiles that best answer their requirements. This matchmaking tool decision is based on the following criteria: Consultant’s mastery of the desired technologies and languages, experience in a specific industry, location,availability and daily rate set by the Provider for said Consultant. However, this tool is only a support to help sorting through the numerous Consultants profiles on the Platform but your Provider can at any time submit Your profile to a Client even though it is not pre-selected by the matchmaking tool.
