Roles of the Parties: 

For the purposes of processing candidate data Discover International acts as the Data Controller when handling candidate information for recruitment and talent advisory services.

All recruitment, consulting, and talent services require a mutually executed written agreement. 

All pricing, proposals, and service scopes are subject to separate commercial terms. 

5. Data Sharing and International Transfers 
 

Data Sharing with Third Parties: 

As part of our recruitment, staffing, and talent advisory services, Discover International may share personal data with third parties where necessary to provide our services, including: 
 

• Prospective employers, clients, and organisations that may offer you work or have vacancies matching your profile or preferences; 

• Candidates, workers, or employees, where relevant in a client context to support recruitment or staffing services; 

• Companies to which you apply for a vacancy or that we reasonably believe may be of interest to you in connection with employment opportunities; 

• Service providers that support our business operations, including IT, system administration, recruitment platforms, hosting, and other operational services; 

• Professional advisers, such as lawyers, auditors, insurers, bankers, and consultants; 

• Regulators, tax authorities, and public bodies, where disclosure is required by law; 

• Social media platforms and other third-party platforms, where relevant to recruitment, communications, or service delivery; and 

• Other third parties, where sharing is necessary to provide our services and is consistent with the original purpose of collection and your reasonable expectations. 
   

All third parties with whom personal data is shared are required to handle such data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Additional information on third-party recipients is available in our Privacy Policy. 

International Data Transfers: 

Due to the global nature of our operations, personal data may be transferred to, accessed from, or stored in countries outside the UK, EU, or EEA. 

Where personal data is transferred to a country that is the subject of a UK or EU adequacy decision, the transfer is carried out on the basis that the receiving country provides a level of data protection essentially equivalent to that under GDPR. 

In such cases, except for a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), no additional transfer safeguards are required. 
 

Where personal data is transferred to a country not covered by an adequacy decision, Discover International ensures that appropriate safeguards are put in place in accordance with the GDPR, which may include:  

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner 

• Data Processing Agreements (DPA) with recipients 

• Supplementary technical and organisational measures, where required 
   

These measures are designed to ensure that personal data continues to receive an adequate level of protection.

Information may change without notice. 

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies 

Our website may use cookies, tracking pixels, and analytics tools to: 

• improve website functionality 

• analyze user behavior 

• personalize your browsing experience 

You may manage or disable cookies via your browser settings. 
A full explanation is provided in our Cookies Policy. 

9. Security 

Discover International implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. 

These measures are designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the nature of the personal data and the processing activities involved. Personal data may be stored and processed securely across our global offices and authorised systems. 

While we take data security seriously and continually review our safeguards, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
