from clients seeking potential candidates for an assignment;
from professional networking platforms such as LinkedIn;
from job boards, professional directories and industry databases;
from publicly available corporate websites or other legitimate public professional sources; and
from professional events, conferences and networking activities.

Where we obtain personal data from a source other than directly from you, we will provide the information required by applicable data-protection law within the required timeframe, subject to any lawful exception.

The fact that professional information is publicly accessible does not remove our obligation to process it fairly, lawfully and transparently.

4. Purposes and Legal Bases

4.1 Executive search and recruitment

We may process candidate information to:

assess professional qualifications and experience;
identify candidates for current or future opportunities;
match candidates with recruitment assignments;
communicate with candidates about potentially relevant opportunities;
arrange interviews and manage recruitment processes;
verify or update professional information;
maintain our professional talent network; and
support clients in identifying suitable professionals.

The applicable legal bases may include:

our legitimate interests in providing executive search and recruitment services, identifying suitable professionals and maintaining relevant professional relationships;
taking steps at your request before entering into a potential contract;
performance of a contract, where applicable;
consent, where consent is legally required; and
compliance with legal obligations.

When relying on legitimate interests, we consider whether our interests are necessary and proportionate and whether they are overridden by your rights, interests or reasonable expectations.

4.2 Candidate introductions

Before submitting an identifiable candidate profile or CV to a prospective employer for a specific opportunity, MOBILIZE will normally contact the candidate and obtain their agreement to be considered for that opportunity.

A candidate’s decision not to pursue a particular position will not automatically remove the candidate from consideration for other potentially relevant opportunities unless the candidate asks us not to make further contact or requests deletion of their information.

4.3 Client and business relationships

We may process business contact information to:

respond to enquiries;
prepare proposals;
negotiate and administer contracts;
deliver professional services;
maintain business relationships;
issue invoices and maintain financial records;
manage suppliers and professional advisers; and
establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

The applicable legal bases may include:

performance of a contract;
taking steps before entering into a contract;
legitimate interests in operating and developing our business; and
compliance with legal obligations.

4.4 Website operation and security

We may process technical and website information to:

operate and administer the website;
protect website and information security;
prevent misuse and unauthorised access;
understand website performance;
analyse website traffic; and
improve website functionality and user experience.

The applicable legal bases may include:

legitimate interests in operating, protecting and improving the website; and
consent where required for non-essential cookies or analytics technologies.

4.5 Marketing communications

We may send newsletters, job alerts or marketing communications where:

you have provided consent;
the communication is otherwise permitted by applicable law; or
we have another valid legal basis.

You may unsubscribe or withdraw consent at any time.

5. Sharing Personal Data

Where necessary and lawful, we may share personal data with:

prospective employers and hiring clients;
authorised MOBILIZE franchise partners, affiliated offices and trusted recruitment partners involved in a relevant assignment;
professional advisers, auditors, accountants, insurers and legal representatives;
IT, cloud, database, website-hosting and communication service providers;
analytics and security providers;
payment and financial service providers;
public authorities, courts, regulators or law-enforcement bodies where required by law; and
a purchaser, successor or professional adviser in connection with a potential corporate transaction.

We disclose personal data only where necessary for a legitimate and defined purpose.

Where a third party processes personal data on our behalf, we implement appropriate contractual, technical and organisational safeguards.

MOBILIZE does not sell candidate personal data.

6. MOBILIZE International Network

MOBILIZE operates through an international network of independently owned and operated franchise partners.

Unless otherwise stated, this website is owned and operated by MOBILIZE Talent Acquisition Kft., Hungary.

Where recruitment, executive search, consulting or other professional services are delivered by an authorised MOBILIZE franchise partner, that partner may process personal data as:

an independent data controller;
a joint controller with MOBILIZE Talent Acquisition Kft.; or
a data processor acting on documented instructions.

The applicable role depends on the circumstances and the purposes and methods of processing. Responsibilities are governed by applicable data-protection legislation and the relevant contractual arrangements.

Where appropriate, you will be informed of the identity of the relevant partner handling a recruitment assignment.

7. International Transfers

As an international recruitment consultancy, we may transfer or make personal data accessible outside the European Economic Area.

Where an international transfer requires additional safeguards, we may rely on:

an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission;
European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses;
supplementary technical and organisational safeguards; or
another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

You may contact us for further information about the safeguards applicable to a particular transfer and, where legally available, request a copy of the relevant safeguards.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

executive search and recruitment activities;
maintaining relevant professional relationships;
fulfilling contractual obligations;
complying with legal and regulatory requirements; and
establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

Candidate information is reviewed periodically to determine whether it remains accurate, relevant and necessary for legitimate recruitment purposes.

Where continued retention is no longer justified, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised, unless a longer period is required or permitted by applicable law.

Further information is available in our Data Retention Policy:

https://mobilize-talent.com/data-retention

9. Data Accuracy

We take reasonable steps to keep personal data accurate and up to date.

Candidates and other individuals are encouraged to notify us when their contact details, employment information, career preferences or other relevant information change.

Where we become aware that information is inaccurate or outdated, we will take reasonable steps to correct, update or delete it.

10. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against:

unauthorised or unlawful access;
accidental loss or destruction;
alteration;
unauthorised disclosure; and
misuse.

Access to personal data is restricted to individuals who require it for legitimate business purposes and who are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

Although we take reasonable security measures, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Automated Decision-Making

MOBILIZE does not currently make recruitment decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing.

If this practice changes, we will update this Privacy Policy before the relevant processing begins and provide the information and safeguards required under applicable law.

12. Your Data-Protection Rights

Subject to the conditions and limitations established by applicable law, you may have the right to:

request access to your personal data;
obtain a copy of your personal data;
request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
request deletion of your personal data;
request restriction of processing;
object to processing based on legitimate interests;
receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
object to direct marketing;
request information about international-transfer safeguards; and
lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

To exercise your rights, contact:

Email: info@mobilize-talent.com

We may request information necessary to verify your identity before responding. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

If you ask us not to contact you again, we may retain limited information on a suppression list where necessary to ensure that your request is respected.

13. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, security, analytics and other purposes described in our Cookie Policy.

Non-essential cookies will be used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after obtaining consent.

You should review the privacy information published by the relevant third party before providing personal information or using its services.

15. Supervisory Authority

If you believe that your personal data has not been processed in accordance with applicable data-protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
