Privacy Policy

CVSourcers ("we", "us", "our") provides CV sourcing and recruitment support services to recruitment agencies in the UK, US, and internationally. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data when you use our website, services, or interact with us.

1. Who We Are

CVSourcers is operated from Faisalabad, Pakistan, and has provided candidate sourcing and recruitment support to recruitment agencies since 2008. For any privacy-related queries, you can contact us using the details at the end of this policy.

2. What Data We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Client/agency data: company name, contact name, email address, phone number, job requirements submitted via our resourcing forms.
• Candidate data: CVs/resumes, contact details, work history, qualifications, and other information sourced from job boards, ATS platforms, or submitted directly to us, used solely for matching candidates to client vacancies.
• Website usage data: IP address, browser type, and general usage analytics collected automatically when you visit our website.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To source, screen, and shortlist candidates against client job requirements
• To communicate with clients regarding sourcing requests and service delivery
• To improve our services, website, and candidate-matching accuracy
• To comply with legal and contractual obligations

We do not sell personal data to third parties. Candidate data is used strictly for legitimate recruitment sourcing purposes on behalf of our clients.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where UK/EU GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of legitimate interest (recruitment sourcing), contractual necessity (delivering services to clients), and consent (where explicitly given, e.g. candidates submitting CVs directly to us).

5. Data Sharing

We may share candidate and client data with:

• Recruitment agency clients, for the purpose of filling their vacancies
• Job board and ATS platform providers, where sourcing is conducted through their systems
• Service providers who support our operations (e.g. email or hosting providers), under confidentiality obligations

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law or client agreements. Candidate data no longer needed for active sourcing is securely deleted or anonymized.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including secure hosting and restricted access to sourcing systems.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
