VAA Global Talent ("we", "us", "our"), a division of VAA Global, operates the website at talent.vaaglobal.tech. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website or submitting a form, you agree to the practices described here.

- Details of the role you want to fill, including skills, budget, and timeline

2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:

- Send you resources you requested, such as our hiring guide
- Improve our services and respond to your enquiries
- Meet legal, accounting, and security obligations
3. Why we are allowed to use it
We process your information where you have given consent (for example, by submitting a form and agreeing to this policy), where it is necessary to provide a service you requested, and where we have a legitimate interest in operating and improving our placement services, balanced against your rights.
5. Where your data is stored
Form submissions and uploaded documents are stored in our Google Workspace environment (Google Sheets and Google Drive), and our website is hosted on Vercel. These providers may store data on servers located outside your country. We take steps to ensure your information is handled securely wherever it is processed.
6. How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as needed to provide our services and for legitimate business or legal purposes. Talent profiles are retained while you remain in our pool. If you ask us to delete your information, we will do so unless we are required to keep it.
7. Your rights and choices
You may, subject to applicable law:
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct or update inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete your information or remove you from our talent pool
- Withdraw consent or object to certain uses of your information
- Unsubscribe from our emails at any time
To exercise any of these, contact us using the details below.
8. How we protect your data
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including secure (HTTPS) connections and access controls on the systems where your data is stored. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
9. Third-party links and tools
Our website may link to other sites, including vaaglobal.tech and WhatsApp. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
10. Children's privacy
Our services are intended for adults seeking or offering professional work. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will remove it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes may be communicated through our website.
