Privacy Policy

Baalvion provides a global talent acquisition and recruitment SaaS platform designed to connect employers with candidates. This policy applies to all users of our Platform, including individual candidates ("Candidates"), employer clients ("Clients"), and their authorized users. By accessing or using our Platform, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the Platform, including account creation and management.
• To process and analyze resumes and other professional information you provide.
• To use our proprietary AI and automated systems to score and match candidate profiles against job descriptions.
• To facilitate communication between Candidates and Clients.
• To monitor for security threats, prevent fraud, and ensure the integrity of our Platform.
• To analyze usage trends and improve the functionality and user experience of our Platform.
• To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

Our Platform utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and automated systems to enhance the recruitment process. This includes:

• Resume Parsing: Our technology automatically extracts and structures information from resumes to build a candidate profile.
• Algorithmic Scoring: We use proprietary algorithms to score a candidate's profile against the requirements of a specific job description. This scoring is based on factors such as skills, experience, and education.

It is important to note that these automated tools are designed to assist human recruiters, not to replace them. Baalvion does not make fully automated hiring decisions. All outputs from our AI systems, including scores and summaries, are provided to our Clients to aid their evaluation process, which involves human review and judgment. We are committed to developing and deploying our AI technology responsibly and actively work to mitigate potential biases.

We only share your information in the following circumstances:

• With Employers: When a Candidate applies for a job, their profile information, including their resume and our AI-generated analysis, is shared with that specific Client.
• Service Providers: We engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as cloud hosting (e.g., Google Cloud Platform), email delivery, and analytics. These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Baalvion, our users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Baalvion operates globally, and your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the one in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. We rely on secure cloud infrastructure with robust security and data protection safeguards to ensure that your data is protected wherever it is processed.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. We may also retain information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Inactive accounts and associated data may be scheduled for deletion in accordance with our internal data retention schedules.

We implement a range of technical and organizational security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include data encryption in transit and at rest, secure software development practices, access controls, and system monitoring. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. We are committed to providing you with the ability to exercise these rights, which may include:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
• The right to correct any inaccurate personal information.
• The right to request the deletion of your personal information.
• The right to restrict the processing of your personal information.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time, where we are relying on consent to process your information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address provided below. We are aware of our obligations under global data protection frameworks, including the principles of the GDPR and the requirements of India’s Information Technology Act, 2000.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for several purposes:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the Platform to function, such as for authentication and security.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how users interact with our Platform, allowing us to improve it.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences to enhance your user experience.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience.

Our Platform is not intended for individuals under the age of 18 or the applicable legal age of employment in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

Our Platform may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated policy on this page and revise the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
