Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 6, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Remote Talent (“Remote Talent,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you visit our website, submit a request for talent, apply as talent, or otherwise interact with us (the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1) Scope

This Policy applies to personal information processed through our website and related forms. It does not apply to information we process strictly on behalf of our clients as their service provider; in those cases, the client’s privacy terms may apply.

2) Information We Collect

a) Information you provide

  • Contact details: name, email address, company, role title.
  • Project details (clients): role needed, hours/week, budget range, timeline, requirements.
  • Application details (talent): resume/portfolio links, skills, experience, availability, expected compensation.
  • Communications: messages and notes related to your request or application.
  • Security verification: responses to CAPTCHA or similar anti-spam checks.

b) Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, and timestamps.
  • Cookies/trackers: to remember preferences, enable functionality, measure performance, and improve the Services.

c) Information from third parties (where permitted)

  • Public professional profiles (e.g., LinkedIn, GitHub) and references you provide.
  • Basic analytics or scheduling platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, calendar tools) if enabled.

3) How We Use Your Information

  • Provide and operate the Services (e.g., match SMEs with vetted remote talent).
  • Communicate with you (confirmations, updates, onboarding, support).
  • Screen and vet candidates (skills, availability, fit).
  • Improve and secure our website and user experience.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Marketing: We may send service-related or promotional messages where permitted. You can opt out at any time using the link in the message or by contacting us.

4) Legal Bases (EEA/UK only)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process personal data based on:

  • Performance of a contract (or steps prior to entering one).
  • Legitimate interests (e.g., improving Services, ensuring security).
  • Consent (e.g., certain marketing or cookies).
  • Legal obligations (e.g., tax, compliance, recordkeeping).

5) Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers that help operate the Services (hosting, email delivery, form processing, analytics, calendar/scheduling, customer support).
  • Clients (for talent applicants) to evaluate your suitability for roles you apply to or express interest in.
  • Professional advisors and authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer (your information will remain subject to this Policy or a successor policy that is at least as protective).

Service providers are required to use your information only as instructed by us.

6) Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, and understand usage. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

7) Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and context.

8) Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and anti-spam measures (e.g., CAPTCHA). However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries with different data protection laws than your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect transferred personal data.

10) Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information;
  • Object to or restrict certain processing;
  • Port your data to another service;
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • Complain to a data protection authority.

California (CCPA/CPRA): We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as defined by California law, nor do we process sensitive personal information for inferring characteristics. You can exercise your rights using the contact details below.

11) Children’s Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12) Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party sites or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies.

13) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date reflects the latest revisions. Material changes will be communicated as required by law (e.g., via the website or email).
