Your Submission and Acknowledgment

When you voluntarily submit personal information through a ConForge careers, work-with-us, contact, or other website form, you acknowledge that the information you provide will be collected and processed by ConForge for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

For careers and work-with-us submissions, these purposes include reviewing your qualifications, evaluating your suitability for current or future opportunities, communicating with you, and managing our recruitment process.

By submitting a form, you confirm that the information you provide is submitted voluntarily and that you have had an opportunity to review this Privacy Policy.

You understand that ConForge may collect, use, store, and otherwise process the information you provide in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Where applicable law requires consent as the legal basis for a particular processing activity, ConForge will rely on your submission or other affirmative action as consent only to the extent that such consent is legally sufficient and required.

Where processing is permitted on another lawful basis, ConForge may process the information on that basis.

Submitting information does not require you to provide information beyond what is reasonably necessary for the purpose of the particular form. However, choosing not to provide information that is necessary for a particular purpose may prevent us from responding to your request or evaluating your application.

You may contact us at admin@conforgeai.com regarding your personal information or applicable privacy rights.

Recruitment and Careers Information

If you submit your information to ConForge because you are interested in joining the company, we will use that information primarily for recruitment and related purposes.

This may include evaluating your qualifications, communicating with you about opportunities, coordinating interviews, and considering you for future roles.

Where appropriate and permitted by applicable law, we may also review professional information that you have made publicly available, such as information contained in a public professional profile or portfolio.

Submitting an application does not guarantee an interview, employment, or any other opportunity.

If there is no suitable opportunity available when you contact us, we may retain your information so that we can consider you for future opportunities, subject to applicable law and our retention practices.

You may contact us at any time to request that we no longer consider your information for future opportunities, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on where you are located and which privacy laws apply to you, we may process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent, where you have provided consent and consent is required
• Steps taken at your request, such as reviewing an application or responding to an inquiry
• Contractual necessity, where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract
• Legitimate interests, including operating and securing our website, recruiting people, improving our business, protecting our rights, and communicating with people who interact with us
• Legal obligations, where processing is required by law
• Other lawful bases available under applicable law

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent where permitted by applicable law.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

Information We Receive From Other Sources

In some circumstances, we may receive information about you from sources other than you.

For example, this may include:

• Publicly available professional information
• Professional networking platforms
• Referrals
• Recruitment sources
• Business partners
• Other sources where the collection and use of the information is permitted by law

We may use information obtained from these sources for legitimate purposes such as recruitment, responding to inquiries, and maintaining professional relationships.

We do not intentionally purchase personal information for the purpose of building unrelated personal profiles about individuals.

How We Share Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information as a business practice.

We may share personal information in limited circumstances where doing so is necessary for legitimate business purposes or required by law.

These providers may have access to personal information only to the extent reasonably necessary to perform services for us and are expected to handle that information in accordance with applicable contractual and legal requirements.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal information where we believe doing so is reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate notice regarding such a transfer.

At Your Direction

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or otherwise authorize the disclosure.

We Do Not Sell Personal Information

ConForge does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

We also do not provide information submitted through our careers or work-with-us forms to third parties for their independent marketing, advertising, or recruitment purposes.

If our practices change in a way that constitutes a sale or sharing of personal information under an applicable privacy law, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any notices and choices required by law.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

For recruitment information, this may include the period necessary to:

When information is no longer reasonably required, we will delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise dispose of it securely, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping requirements.

International Processing

ConForge is headquartered in the United States.

Depending on where you are located and which service providers we use, personal information may be stored, processed, or accessed in the United States or other countries.

Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws in your country of residence.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will use appropriate mechanisms to protect personal information during such transfers.

Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

The specific measures we use may vary depending on the nature and sensitivity of the information and the risks associated with its processing.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, while we work to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will respond in accordance with applicable law, including providing notifications where legally required.
