A legal disclaimer
The information provided by Skills Sync is intended to offer general guidance and high-level explanations on how to create your own Privacy Policy. This content is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as specific recommendations for your business.
Every business has unique privacy requirements, and the specific Privacy Policy you establish will depend on the nature of your services, the types of data you collect, and how you manage that data. Skills Sync cannot predict or account for the specific policies you may need to implement to comply with privacy laws in your jurisdiction.
We strongly recommend consulting a qualified legal professional to help you understand your data protection obligations and to create a Privacy Policy that aligns with your business practices and ensures compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations.
Privacy Policy - the basics
A Privacy Policy is a document that outlines how you, as a user of the Skills Sync platform, collect, use, disclose, process, and manage the data of individuals interacting with your AI recruitment agents. It serves as a commitment to protecting the privacy of your users and provides transparency about the data practices you have in place.
A typical Privacy Policy may include:
-
The types of data you collect (e.g., names, contact details, employment history).
-
How you use that data (e.g., matching candidates to job roles).
-
How you store and protect user information.
-
Who you may share data with and for what purposes.
-
Information about users' rights regarding their data, such as the right to access or delete their information.
It is important to note that different jurisdictions have different legal requirements for Privacy Policies. For example, businesses operating in the EU are subject to GDPR, while those in the US may need to comply with CCPA or other state-specific laws.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your Privacy Policy complies with the relevant privacy laws in your location and the locations of your users. We recommend seeking local legal advice to ensure your Privacy Policy meets all applicable legal obligations and protects both your business and your users.
