3. Personal Data We May Process
3.1 Information You Send to Us
Our website does not currently provide a form for uploading a CV. If you wish to be considered for employment opportunities, you may voluntarily send your CV to cv@edgesandbridges.com.
Depending on the information contained in your CV or correspondence, we may receive and process information including:
your name and surname;

  • employment history;
  • education and qualifications;

  • photograph, if included by you;
  • information about your availability;
  • information contained in your communications with us; and
  • any other information you voluntarily include in your CV or provide during the recruitment process.
Please avoid providing personal information that is not relevant to the recruitment process.
3.2 Website and Technical Data
When you access our website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by our website infrastructure and service providers. This may include IP address, browser and device information, date and time of access, requested pages or resources, technical logs, and essential cookies or similar technologies required for the operation and security of the website.
We do not currently use the website to collect CVs through an online application form.
4. How We Use Candidate Personal DataWe may process candidate personal data for purposes including:
  • reviewing your CV and professional profile;
  • contacting you regarding employment opportunities;
  • understanding your professional experience, preferences and qualifications;
  • identifying vacancies that may be relevant to you;
  • discussing specific vacancies and prospective employers with you;
  • arranging recruitment-related communications or interviews;
  • presenting your candidacy to a prospective employer where appropriate and authorized;
  • maintaining a candidate database where you have agreed to remain in our talent pool;
  • responding to your inquiries and requests;
  • maintaining appropriate business and recruitment records;
  • protecting our legal rights and preventing misuse of our services; and
  • complying with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell candidate personal data.
5. Legal Bases for ProcessingWhere applicable data protection law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing, the legal basis will depend on the particular processing activity and circumstances.
Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal data with your consent; at your request in connection with potential employment or recruitment opportunities; where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in providing and administering recruitment services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests; where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law; or where another legal basis is available under applicable data protection law.
Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
6. Candidate Database and Talent PoolWe may invite you to allow us to retain your CV and relevant professional information in our candidate database so that we can contact you about suitable opportunities in the future.
Where your consent is required for this purpose, participation in the candidate database is voluntary.
Unless a different period is communicated to you or a longer period is required or permitted by applicable law, we intend to retain candidate information in our talent pool for up to 24 months from the date of your consent.
Before or at the end of this period, we may ask whether you wish to remain in our candidate database.
If you withdraw your consent to participation in the candidate database, we will remove or delete the relevant personal data, subject to any information that we are required or permitted to retain for another lawful purpose.
Declining to participate in our long-term candidate database does not prevent you from discussing a specific vacancy with us.
7. Sharing Your CV With Prospective EmployersWe do not intend to automatically distribute your CV to employers merely because you have sent it to us.
Our normal recruitment process is to discuss a relevant opportunity with you before presenting your candidacy to a prospective employer.
Where appropriate, we will identify or otherwise provide relevant information about the prospective employer and vacancy and obtain the authorization or consent required for us to disclose your CV and relevant personal data to that employer.
The prospective employer may become an independent controller of your personal data once it receives your information. Its subsequent processing of your personal data may therefore be governed by its own privacy policy and applicable law.
Consent to retain your information in our candidate database does not, by itself, constitute blanket consent for us to send your CV to any employer.
8. Service ProvidersWe use third-party service providers to operate our business and website.
Google Workspace and Google Drive
We use Google Workspace for business email and Google Drive for the storage and management of business and candidate information.
Tilda
Our website is built and operated using the Tilda website platform. Tilda and its infrastructure may process technical information relating to website visitors as necessary to provide and secure the website.
Namecheap
Namecheap is used in connection with our website/domain infrastructure.
Our service providers may process personal data on our behalf or in connection with providing their services. Their processing is also subject to their applicable contractual and privacy terms.
We may use additional service providers in the future. Where required, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
9. International Processing and TransfersEdges & Bridges is established in the Republic of Armenia and provides recruitment services involving candidates and prospective employers in different countries.
If you are located outside Armenia, your personal data may therefore be transferred to and processed in Armenia.
Personal data may also be processed in other countries where our service providers, prospective employers, or their service providers operate. Data protection laws and standards may differ between countries.
Where applicable law requires specific safeguards for an international transfer of personal data, we will take appropriate measures required by that law.
Before transferring a candidate's CV to a prospective employer in another country, we may also provide relevant information about the proposed recipient and obtain authorization or consent where required.
10. Data RetentionWe retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and as required or permitted by applicable law.
The applicable retention period may depend on whether you are being considered for a specific opportunity; whether you have agreed to participate in our candidate database; whether recruitment discussions remain active; our legitimate business and record-keeping needs; applicable limitation periods; and legal or regulatory requirements.
Candidate information retained in our talent pool on the basis of consent is generally intended to be retained for up to 24 months, unless another period is communicated to you or applicable law provides otherwise.
When personal data is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or otherwise securely dispose of it.
11. Cookies and Similar TechnologiesOur website may use essential technical cookies or similar technologies required for the operation, security and protection of the website.
At present, we do not intentionally use third-party advertising or marketing tracking technologies such as Meta Pixel, and we do not intentionally use Google Analytics for behavioral advertising or marketing purposes.
Our website platform may process technical information and use essential technologies for functions such as website security and protection against malicious traffic.
If we introduce non-essential analytics, advertising or similar tracking technologies in the future, we will update our privacy and cookie information and, where required by applicable law, provide appropriate cookie controls and obtain consent before such technologies are activated.
12. Data SecurityWe take reasonable organizational and technical measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction, or misuse.
These measures may include access controls, account security measures, restricted access to candidate information and the use of reputable technology service providers.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
13. Your Privacy RightsDepending on the law applicable to you and your location, you may have rights in relation to your personal data, including rights to request information about processing; access your personal data; request correction; request deletion; request restriction of certain processing; object to certain processing; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; request portability where applicable; and lodge a complaint with a competent data protection or supervisory authority.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to conditions, limitations, and exceptions under applicable law.
To exercise a privacy right, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL]. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
14. Sensitive Personal DataPlease do not include sensitive personal information in your CV unless it is genuinely necessary for the relevant recruitment process.
Depending on applicable law, sensitive information may include information concerning health, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data, sexual orientation, or similar specially protected categories of information.
If you voluntarily provide such information, its processing will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
15. Automated Decision-MakingWe do not currently use solely automated decision-making to make final recruitment decisions about candidates that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Recruitment decisions by prospective employers are outside our control and may be subject to the prospective employer's own processes and privacy practices.
16. Children’s PrivacyOur recruitment services are intended for individuals aged 18 and over.
We do not knowingly seek to collect CVs or recruitment information from individuals under the age of 18.
If we become aware that we have received personal data from an individual under the age of 18, we will take reasonable steps to delete it unless retention is required or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
17. Third-Party WebsitesOur website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the applicable privacy information before providing personal data to a third party.
18. Changes to This Privacy PolicyWe may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our recruitment practices, website, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.
The updated version will be published on this website and the “Last updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy will be revised accordingly.
Where appropriate or required by applicable law, we may provide additional notice of material changes.
