Azon Privacy policy
Introduction
Azon Point Partners Ltd, trading as Azon, is an executive search firm registered in Ireland, company number 542734.
Azon and our associated companies established in the European Union ("Azon", "we", "our" or "us") hold and process data on all current and prospective applicants, interview candidates, interns, agency workers, consultants, directors and (where provided by you) third parties who may be connected to an employment search (e.g., referees, next-of-kin, emergency contact information and/or dependents) ("candidates" or "you" or "your").
Personal information
We collect a variety of personal information in order to provide our advisory services. Personal information means any information describing or relating to an identified or identifiable individual. An identifiable individual is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that individual.
It typically includes employment history, degree(s) and other qualifications, languages and other skills as well as contact information. It may also include, age, nationality and gender, compensation details, a record of our contact history with you and comments, views or references from third parties.
We advise you not to provide information which may be deemed sensitive (such as special categories of personal information or data relating to criminal records and information regarding criminal offences or proceedings) on your CV as we will retain any documents that you have provided to us. Special categories of personal information means information relating to such matters as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, physical or mental health (including details of accommodations or adjustments), trade union membership, sexual orientation, information regarding sexual life, biometric data and genetic data.
Your personal information may also be used anonymously and in the aggregate in order to put together industry, marketing and employment statistics. Used in this matter, your personal information becomes non-identifying and is no longer "personal information".
Sources of personal information
Some of the personal information that we process will be provided to us by you. You will usually provide this information directly to us through dialogue including in-person, via phone and via electronic mail. In addition to information provided by you, we may gather information from LinkedIn, Google, Company websites, press and periodicals and other publicly available sources. We may also process personal information about you that we receive from indirect referees, colleagues, former employers, former colleagues, or your business contacts. Where we ask you to provide personal information to us on a mandatory basis, we will inform you of this at the time of collection and in the event that particular information is required by the contract or statute this will be indicated. Failure to provide any mandatory information will mean that we cannot carry out certain exercises on your behalf. In some cases it may mean that we are unable to continue with your candidacy as we will not have the personal information we believe to be necessary to manage the same.
