🔐 Data Governance, Security & Privacy at byteSpark.ai

Because Trust Isn't a Feature. It's the Foundation.

At byteSpark.ai, we don’t just build AI — we build AI responsibly. Every feature on our platform, including Talent Hunt, is wrapped in strong security protocols, global compliance frameworks, and a human-centric privacy philosophy.

1. 🔧 Our Data Governance Philosophy

We believe in:

• Transparency — Users should always know what’s being done with their data.
• Minimization — We only collect what's absolutely necessary.
• Respect — Whether you're a jobseeker, client, or visitor, your data is handled with care.
• Control — You always have the right to see, correct, or delete your data.

2. 📜 Compliance with Global Data Laws

✅ GDPR Article 6(1)(f) — Legitimate Interest

Why we use it:
When performing Talent Hunt, we process publicly available data (like LinkedIn profiles) to identify potential matches for job roles. We do not store data without consent or contact individuals without reason.

How we safeguard this interest:

• We conduct a Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA).
• We use only publicly available professional data.
• We provide clear opt-out options.
• All outreach is human and one-to-one, never automated or bulk-based.

📌 Talent Hunt is not a sourcing shortcut — it’s a carefully managed system designed around privacy and compliance.

3. 🔐 ISO Standards & Security Infrastructure

• ISO/IEC 27001 — Risk-based security controls applied across our infrastructure.
• ISO/IEC 27701 — Governs how personal data is handled, especially during Talent Hunt onboarding.
• ISO/IEC 29100 — Privacy principles embedded into our design.
• ISO 30414 — Human capital data handled with explainability and fairness in mind.

4. 💼 Talent Hunt – Responsible Sourcing in Action

What it is:

• AI-enhanced search using public LinkedIn data.
• InMail contact with score and justification.
• Only when a candidate uploads their CV are they onboarded.

What it’s not:

• ❌ No scraping of private data
• ❌ No automatic profile creation
• ❌ No hiring decisions without human review

5. 🔐 Subprocessors & Third-Party Security

We use only GDPR-compliant vendors under DPAs, including AWS, SendGrid, and secure AI processors. Each undergoes thorough due diligence.

6. 🧠 Ethical AI & Human Oversight

• All AI is assistive — not autonomous.
• CESAR scores are explainable, never black-box.
• Models are continuously improved for fairness and bias mitigation.

7. 🕓 Data Retention & Minimization

• Public data is never stored unless the user opts in.
• Candidate data is purged as per our Data Retention Policy.
• All candidates can request access, rectification, or deletion at any time.

8. ✋ Your Rights, Your Data

We respect GDPR rights, including:

• Access, correction, and deletion
• Restriction and objection to processing
• Data portability
• No automated decisions without consent

9. ⚖️ Final Word: Talent With Integrity

Talent Hunt is not a shortcut. It’s a responsibility.
We’ve wrapped it in encryption, governed it with law, and powered it with human oversight.
