We're pretty serious about keeping your info safe while you're out there conquering the digital frontier
Look, we get it. Privacy policies are usually about as exciting as watching paint dry. But since we're dealing with remote workers and digital nomads who span the globe, we figured we'd better spell out how we handle your personal data.
At Dread at Veil Frontier, we've been navigating cross-border employment stuff since day one, which means we're pretty well-versed in data protection laws. This policy covers what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. No hidden surprises.
This policy applies to everyone who interacts with us - whether you're a candidate looking for your next remote gig, a client searching for talent, or just someone browsing our site while sipping coffee in a Bali co-working space.
When you apply for positions through us or reach out for our services, we'll collect stuff like your name, email, phone number, and location. Pretty standard fare. For candidates, we also need your resume, work history, and sometimes portfolio links.
Since we specialize in tech startups and remote workforce planning, we collect info about your skills, work preferences, salary expectations, and availability across time zones. We also keep track of interview feedback and assessment results.
Our website automatically collects the usual technical stuff - IP addresses, browser types, device info, and how you navigate through our site. This helps us figure out if our site's actually working well for folks accessing it from different corners of the world.
We keep records of our conversations with you - emails, phone calls, video interviews. It helps us provide better service and, honestly, sometimes we just need to remember what was discussed three months ago.
We're not collecting your data just for fun. Here's what we actually do with it:
We operate on what's called "legitimate interest" in legal terms, but really it just means we only use your data for stuff that makes sense given what we do.
We're not in the business of selling your data to random third parties. That said, here's who might see your information:
If you're a candidate, we'll share your profile with companies looking to hire. That's kinda the whole point. We always get your consent before sending your details to specific employers.
We use various tools and platforms - assessment software, video interview systems, applicant tracking systems. These providers might process your data on our behalf, but they're contractually obligated to keep it secure.
If we're legally required to disclose info (court orders, regulatory requests, etc.), we'll comply. We'll notify you when we can, but sometimes we're not allowed to.
Our lawyers, accountants, and insurance providers might need access to certain data. They're all bound by confidentiality agreements.
Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind (though those would be nice). These are little data files that help our website work better.
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in or submit applications. We don't ask permission for these because they're necessary for basic functionality.
We use these to understand how people use our site. Which pages get visited most? Where do people get stuck? This helps us improve the experience. You can opt out of these if you want.
These remember your settings - like language preferences or time zone. Makes your life easier.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Just know that blocking certain cookies might make the site less functional. Your call though.
We take security seriously because, well, we're dealing with people's careers and livelihoods here. Our team implements a bunch of safeguards:
That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. If we ever experience a data breach that affects you, we'll notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law. Hopefully, that never happens, but it's better to be upfront about the reality.
You've got a role to play too - use strong passwords, don't share your login credentials, and let us know if you notice anything suspicious.
Depending on where you're located, you've got various rights regarding your personal data. Here's the rundown:
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We'll provide it in a readable format within 30 days.
If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. Happens more often than you'd think.
You can ask us to delete your data. We'll comply unless we're legally required to keep it (like for tax purposes).
Want your data in a format you can use elsewhere? We'll provide it in a machine-readable format.
You can object to certain types of processing, like marketing communications. We'll respect that.
You can ask us to limit how we use your data while we sort out any concerns you've raised.
To exercise any of these rights, just shoot us an email at careers@dreadatveilfrontier.info. We'll verify your identity (gotta make sure we're not giving your data to someone else) and get back to you within a reasonable timeframe.
Here's where things get interesting. We're based in Vancouver, Canada, but we work with remote talent and companies all over the world. That means your data might cross borders.
When we transfer data internationally, we make sure there are adequate protections in place. This might include:
Canada's got pretty solid privacy laws (PIPEDA, for those who care about acronyms), but we recognize that data protection standards vary globally. We work hard to maintain the highest standards regardless of where data is being processed.
If you've got concerns about your data being transferred to a specific country, reach out to us. We'll walk you through the safeguards we've got in place.
We don't keep your data forever. Here's our general approach:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Active Candidate Profiles | Up to 2 years | To match you with future opportunities that might arise |
| Inactive Applications | 6 months after last activity | After that, we figure you've moved on |
| Placed Candidates | 7 years after placement | Legal and tax requirements, reference purposes |
| Client Contracts | 7 years after contract end | Legal and accounting obligations |
| Marketing Contacts | Until you unsubscribe | We only send stuff if you're interested |
| Website Analytics | 26 months | Standard practice for understanding trends |
After these periods, we either delete or anonymize your data. If you want your data deleted sooner, just ask. We might need to keep some records for legal reasons, but we'll delete everything else.
Our services aren't designed for or directed at children under 16. We don't knowingly collect data from kids.
If you're under 16, please don't submit any personal information through our website. If we discover we've accidentally collected data from someone under 16, we'll delete it as quickly as possible.
Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information can contact us at careers@dreadatveilfrontier.info and we'll take care of it right away.
Privacy laws evolve, our business evolves, technology evolves. So yeah, we might need to update this policy from time to time.
When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email (if we have your email) or through a prominent notice on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect when the most recent changes were made.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you're actively using our services. Continuing to use our services after changes means you're cool with the updated terms.
If you've got questions about changes, don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to explain what's different and why.
