3. Security Controls & Audit Rights

3.1 Technical Measures: The Data Importer warrants that it has implemented industry-standard security measures (including encryption and access controls) to prevent unauthorised access to candidate CVs and contact information.

3.2 Audit: Upon reasonable notice, the Data Importer shall permit BrighterMonday (or an independent auditor) to verify compliance with these privacy clauses, or alternatively, provide a self-certification of compliance.

4. Sub-processing Restrictions

4.1 The Data Importer shall not disclose or "on-ward transfer" candidate data to any third-party sub-processor (such as an external background check agency or recruitment firm) unless that third party is bound by written terms no less restrictive than these Clauses.

5. International Transfers & Local Law

In accordance with the Data Protection Act, every individual whose personal data is processed via the Site (the "Data Subject") has the following rights, which BrighterMonday and the Advertiser agree to uphold:

1.7 Right against Automated Decision-Making: The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them.

2.2 Where a request relates to data held by an Advertiser (e.g., a downloaded CV), BrighterMonday will forward the request to the Advertiser, who must comply within seven (7) days of receipt.

Cooperation with Regulators and Data Subjects
