Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is meant to give you an understanding of the information we collect, the data we process, why this is done, and how you can update, manage, export, and delete your information. Note that this is a general policy, and the agreements you may have with us or our clients could override some of the content of this Policy. If you are not in agreement with this Policy, we advise you to stop using any of the services related to RecMan as an IT solution (“RecMan”).

As described in the Overview , RecMan as a whole is in a vast with a complex environment. We highly recommend that you read the Overview before moving forward with the content of this Policy.

What we are and what we do

We provide a wide range of services with RecMan at its core for organizations and individuals all over the world to smile at and trust the IT solution on their screen; either it is for managers to grow their business; organizations to administer their resources efficiently; employees or co-workers to have an easier and productive day-to-day; candidates to manage their profile with simplicity; companies who believe in their suppliers; or industries in general to flourish - we are here to make it happen.

On the never ending journey to provide everyone with the level of security and control they deserve, RecMan is designed and built to make you the master of your information. RecMan may show presence in different ways, and we want you to know in which instance RecMan is presented to you, and how it may relate to this Policy.

RecMan’s many faces

We have full ownership of RecMan, where we are the ones who develop, maintain, provide, and support it. However, our clients license a personal a personal and isolated entity with private entry, thus gaining access to all or some of the other commercial and supporting services and features we provide. This in itself may be confusing to some, and the following is intended to clarify.

1. Our own

   Our face is the one of our organization and its brand - RecMan. This website will consist of everything you will need to know about us, our services, and RecMan altogether. The RecMan logo, and the RecMan brand is there to inform you that we are the ones responsible for the instance you are observing on your computer, TV, tablet, or phone. We have no intention of hiding in the shadows, and are proud to show our presence. We also have a page on both Facebook and LinkedIn if you are interested in learning more.

   We utilize RecMan to conduct our daily business, and from time to time, we publish job posts and perform recruitments of our own. This may be visible on our career page , which is the page for our organization’s RecMan entity.

   The privacy policies for our website and the career page are separate as these sites collect and process data and different types of information for separate purposes.

2. Our client

   Any client of ours will have access to their own organization’s RecMan where they “paint” this entity with one or more brands. One single entity could to the external eye be interpreted as different entities. For example, if a parent company provides the two services of recruitment and staffing, they may want to segregate the services in two departments or legal companies. With RecMan, they may then have two career pages for each of the two services they provide, and their customers, candidates, applicants, and others will interpret these pages as having no connection to each other. This is made possible by setting up two career pages i.e. companyrecrutiment.recman.no and companystaffing.recman.no. Both of these are administered by the parent company within one RecMan entity, but as each career page is intended for separate purposes, the privacy policy, terms and conditions, and cookie notice may vary between the career pages.

   We highly recommend that you as a data subject read the policies, terms, and conditions for any career page you may encounter, as these are the ones applicable to the information you are uploading. This also means that your profile on one career page may not be used on another.

3. Our services

   RecMan is used all over the world, and in countless industries. Even though you have never worked in an organization that utilizes RecMan, or been a candidate that has registered a profile on a career page, you may still come across services that are directly or indirectly connected to RecMan. If one of our clients provide their services or products to you, you could receive candidate presentations, contracts or agreements, forms, and other services available from RecMan. These may be branded with different logos and information about our client, but you will be able to see that the service is provided by a RecMan entity through the URL in which it is presented. The word “recman” or our logo will be visible in the link where the web-based service is accessed.

   The information our clients may be collecting from you through any of the RecMan services is done at their own will and practices with the probability of it not being in relation to this Policy. This information is not owned by us in any way.
