Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), the legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

High Impact Professionals may process your Personal Data because:

We need to perform a contract with you
You have given us permission to do so

High Impact Professionals will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes.

Effective date: September 9, 2021

By using our Service, you accept the practices described in this policy.

This policy is an addendum to our general privacy policy, which specifically describes how we collect and process Personal Data in relation to the Service provided by our recruiting team.

In brief

We run the High Impact Professionals recruitment process but also work closely with adjacent organizations to fill their most important roles. We use information available online (e.g., on LinkedIn) and submitted by you to us (e.g., when applying for our recruiting service) to match you with high impact roles.

When we come across a role you might be a good fit for, we will either:

Contact you to suggest you apply or discuss the opportunity with you.
Directly share your contact details, and some of the information you have submitted to us, with the relevant employer.
- We will only share information in the context of positively recommending you for consideration for a role.
- We use our discretion when deciding what information to share with potential employers. If you wish to mark particular information as strictly confidential between you and High Impact Professionals, just tell us.

Information we may collect

Depending on the circumstances, we may collect, store, and use the following categories of personal information about you:

Personal contact details such as name, title, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses.
Date of birth.
Information on your career background, interests and goals, for example on which problems you’d like to use your career to solve or where you’d like to work.
Marital status and dependents.
Salary, annual leave, pension and benefits information.
Start date(s) of job roles.
Location of employment or workplace.
Recruitment information (including copies of right to work documentation, references and other information included in a CV or cover letter or as part of the application process).
Employment records (including job titles, work history, working hours, training records and professional memberships).
Your previous engagements with High Impact Professionals, for example, information relating to your attendance of relevant events or activities on High Impact Professionals’ website.

Special Category Data (also known as Sensitive Personal Information)

How your information may be collected

We may collect information:

On websites such as LinkedIn or a public website.
You provide to us through online forms, such as an application for a job or indicating your interest in being matched with various roles in effective altruism organizations.

To provide information to a partner organization about your suitability for a role

When we come across a high impact role you might be a good fit for, we will suggest you apply or discuss the opportunity with you or we will sometimes share your data with high impact potential employers but only if we think you might be a good candidate for a job opening. When we do so we err on the side of caution and try to avoid telling them sensitive or unnecessary information, and require them to respect the security of your data. By applying for or using the Service, you consent to the processing of this data for the above purposes.
