Data We Collect

Website visitors

When you visit our website, server logs automatically record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and timestamps. This data is stored for up to 7 days for security purposes and then deleted.

Contact form

When you submit our contact form, we collect your company name, name, email address, phone number, and the details of your enquiry. We use this data solely to respond to your request and plan your placement.

Employer & candidate data

During the recruitment process we may collect professional information including job roles, company details, CVs, qualifications, language certificates, and passport/visa documents. This is used exclusively for the purpose of facilitating placements between German employers and Indian candidates.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data on the following legal bases under GDPR Art. 6:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) — performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures
  • Art. 6(1)(a) — your consent (e.g. contact form submissions)
  • Art. 6(1)(f) — our legitimate interest in operating and improving our services
  • Art. 6(1)(c) — compliance with legal obligations

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share data only where necessary:

  • With prospective employers (candidate profiles, for recruitment purposes only)
  • With German immigration authorities (visa and recognition filings)
  • With our training center partners in India (for vocational and language training coordination)
  • With IT service providers under data processing agreements

Any transfer of personal data to third countries (e.g. India) is carried out with appropriate safeguards pursuant to GDPR Art. 46.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the stated purpose or as required by law. Contact enquiry data is deleted after 3 years if no business relationship arises. Placement-related data is retained for the duration of the placement plus statutory archival periods (typically 10 years under German commercial law).
