Privacy Policy

Privacy is a value that Sapphire Connect acknowledges and respects. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes our practices regarding the collection and use of information through our website. By using the Site, you signify your agreement to the terms and conditions of this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use the Site.

This Policy is the sole authorized statement of Sapphire Connect practices with respect to the online collection of personally identifiable information through the Site and the usage of such information. Any summaries of this Policy generated by third party software or otherwise (for example, in connection with the “Platform for Privacy Preferences” or “P3P”) shall have no legal effect, are in no way binding upon Sapphire Connect, shall not be relied upon in substitute for this Policy, and neither supersede nor modify this Policy.

Use of Personal Information

We may use your Personal Information to respond to your inquiries and answer your questions, to provide you with requested information, and to undertake activities in connection with the conduct and management of our executive search or other services, such as evaluating candidate qualifications, contacting potential candidates for further Personal Information, contacting named references, and communicating with Clients about potential candidates. We also may use Personal Information for the purposes of testing and maintaining our company databases, networks, and computer systems, and for training and other internal purposes.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may share your Personal Information with our offices and affiliates worldwide where necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of our executive search or other services. In particular, Personal Information about executive search candidates and/or Clients is often included in our company’s global databases for these purposes, and therefore may be accessible to our foreign offices and affiliates.

We reserve the right to disclose Personal Information to third party subcontractors, including information technology providers and business process outsourcing providers, in order to help support our business operations. We also reserve the right to disclose Personal Information in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or part of the business, or where we believe such disclosure may be required by law or may be appropriate in connection with any legal claims. We may also use, disclose, or otherwise process any information for statistical or any other purposes that we choose in our sole discretion, as long as such information is not in a personally identifiable form.

Security

Sapphire Connect maintains reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect against the loss, misuse, unauthorized access and alteration of visitor information. To the extent that we disclose Personal Information to third party subcontractors, we require that such third parties also maintain reasonable security and confidentiality measures and use the Personal Information in accordance with our instructions.

While we make immense efforts to safeguard your personal information, any loss during the transmitting of such data to and fro our servers, or any leakage from our servers, or internet hacking cannot be ruled out at any point in time, hence the security guarantee from Sapphire Connect is not 100%.

Indemnity and Release

You agree to indemnify and hold Sapphire Connect, and its affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees made by any third party due to the content you submit, post or transmit through the site, your use of the site, your violation of the Terms of Use, or your violation of any rights of another user.

Despite these linkages, or any references to Sapphire Connect at those Internet sites, this Privacy Policy applies to this Website only.
