Depending on the user category, we collect personal information from you in several ways:

  1. As a Worker: When you create a profile on the App, you provide personal information including Identity Data and Contact Data, Professional Information, and Visual and Audio Data uploaded to your profile. You also provide Communications Data when interacting with Employers or Recruiters, or when submitting requests or inquiries to us.
  2. As an Employer: When you use our Services, such as by registering for an account, we collect Identity Data (e.g., first and last name) and Contact Data (e.g., email address). This includes information provided during account creation, as well as Communications Data when engaging with Recruiters or Workers, or when submitting requests or inquiries to us.
  3. As a Recruiter: When you register for an account, we collect Identity Data (e.g., first and last name), Contact Data (e.g., email address), and Communications Data when interacting with Employers or Workers, or when submitting requests or inquiries to us.

2. Information Automatically Collected

In addition to the personal information you provide directly, we collect certain details automatically about your interactions with our Services. This information helps us enhance your experience, provide personalized insights, and improve our offerings. We collect the following types of information:

  • Device Data. We automatically collect information from your device, such as device type, device token, and operating system version. This information is used to ensure that our Services function correctly and efficiently.

When you use our App, we automatically collect information about your interactions and online activities, including button clicks, screen views, session length, menu navigation, and similar usage metrics. This data is used to improve your user experience, enhance the design and functionality of our Services, and resolve any technical issues.
  • Online Identifiers. When you use our App, we utilize services that generate random identifiers to distinguish between different users, sessions, and devices (e.g., App Instance ID). These identifiers help us associate multiple interactions (such as page views and events) from the same device with a single user profile.
  • Log Data. When you use our Services, we automatically collect system-generated records related to the operation of our App and APIs, including access logs, error logs, and IP addresses. This information is used for diagnostics, security monitoring, performance analysis, and troubleshooting.

3. Information From Third Parties

We may obtain Personal Information about you from third-party sources, including data and service providers and business partners. This may include information collected from publicly available sources, such as public APIs or general internet content.

If you provide us with Personal Information relating to another individual, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to disclose such information to us and to permit us to process it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any other applicable agreements between you and us.

4. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

We process your personal information for various purposes, depending on how you interact with our Services, including but not limited to the following:

  • Account Creation and Management: We process your personal information to facilitate the creation and authentication of your account, enable you to log in, and maintain your account in good working order.
  • Service Delivery: We process your information to deliver and facilitate the provision of the Services you have requested.
  • Service Communications: We process your information to inform you about resources related to migration safety and other relevant topics, respond to your inquiries, and notify you of changes to our Services and products. Such communications may be sent via email or push notifications.
  • Customer Support: We use your information to assist you when you contact us with complaints, grievances, or support requests, whether submitted anonymously or personally.

5. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?


In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

  1. Service Providers: We engage a limited number of trusted third-party service providers (“data processors”) to support the delivery, security, and improvement of our Services. We remain the data controller in relation to all personal data processed, and each processor acts solely on our documented instructions in accordance with applicable data protection laws. The key service providers we currently use are:
    1. Google Cloud Vision API (Google LLC) – processes images of user documents uploaded to the App to extract Identity Data for verification purposes.
    2. Google Analytics (Google LLC) – collects and analyzes App Usage Data to help us understand and improve user experience.
    3. Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google LLC) – delivers push notifications to users’ devices, enabling timely updates and service-related communications.
    4. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (Google LLC) – provides secure cloud hosting for our App infrastructure and stores related user data.
  2. Other Users: If you are a Worker, your profile information, including any documents, videos, or other materials you upload, will be visible and searchable by other users of the App, specifically Employers and Recruiters. These users may process your personal information for job-related purposes and may contact you directly through the App with job opportunities.
  3. Legal and Regulatory Compliance: We may disclose your personal information when required or permitted by applicable law, which may include laws and regulations of jurisdictions outside your country of residence. Such disclosure may occur: (i) to comply with applicable legal obligations; (ii) to protect the rights, safety, and property of our users; (iii) to respond to lawful requests, orders, or directives from courts, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory authorities, including those located outside your country of residence.
  4. Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your personal information in connection with, or during negotiations relating to, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another entity.

6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?


Our servers are located in the United States. If you access our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where we or our third- party partners operate.

Some of the third parties referenced in this Privacy Policy, which provide services to us under contractual arrangements, are located in jurisdictions that may not offer the same level of privacy and data protection as the country in which you reside.

For transfers of personal data from individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom to such third parties, we implement a variety of legal mechanisms to safeguard the transfer, including reliance on the European Commission- approved Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses, and, where appropriate, additional safeguards. For transfers to or from Canada, we utilize Standard

Contractual Clauses and remain subject to the regulatory authority of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Similarly, for transfers of personal data from residents of Brazil, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure adequate protection.

If you would like more information about the legal mechanisms we use to transfer personal data outside of the EEA, Switzerland, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Brazil, please contact us.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?


In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this Privacy Policy will require us to keep your personal Information for longer than six (6) months past the termination of the user's account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?


In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

Our security measures include, but are not limited to:

  1. Certified Cloud Infrastructure
    1. We use certified cloud infrastructure services that meet globally recognized security assurance frameworks and certifications, including: ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO 50001:2018, ISO/IEC 27110, ISO/IEC 27701 other certifications validated by independent third-party assessors.
    2. All data is automatically encrypted at rest, and distributed for high availability and reliability
  2. Protection of Stored Data
    1. Passwords are encrypted before being stored in our database.
    2. Access to stored data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who require it to perform their job duties.
  3. User Identification and Authorization
    1. When you log in, we issue a secure access token.
    2. This token is required to access most areas of the App.
    3. Without logging in, users cannot access the majority of App features.
  4. Data Protection During Transmission
    1. All data transferred between your device and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS (TLS/SSL) protocols.
  5. Accountability and Audit Trails
    1. We maintain an audit log for every record in our system.
    2. This allows us to identify who last edited a record and when the change occurred.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?


In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from, or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at info@okolabor.com.

10. REGIONAL PRIVACY RIGHTS


In Short: This section outlines your rights as a non-U.S. resident of certain jurisdictions and our corresponding obligations to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable laws. Depending on your country of residence, you may have specific rights that afford you greater access to, and control over, your personal information. For further details regarding these rights, please refer to the applicable regional notices below.

10.1 Notice to Residents of all Other Countries

Regardless of where you live, you can exercise the following choices:

  1. Manage In-App Notifications: You may adjust your notification preferences by accessing the App’s settings through your device’s settings menu. From there, you can enable or disable alerts at any time.

You also have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us directly.
  3. Correct Your Personal Information: If your personal information is incorrect or outdated, you have the right to request that it be updated or corrected to ensure its accuracy. You may also update or modify the information in your account at any time by logging into your account settings and making the necessary changes.

We generally do not charge fees for processing or responding to your requests unless exceptional circumstances apply. If we are unable to fulfill a request, we will explain the reason for our decision.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as outlined in the Section “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?”. We will handle your request in accordance with applicable laws and respond as soon as reasonably possible. To ensure your privacy, we will verify your identity using the information linked to your account, such as your name and email address.

11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES


Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

12. DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?


In Short: Depending on your U.S. state of residence, you may have certain rights in relation to the personal information we collect, use, or disclose, as described in this section. These rights may be subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law. More information is provided below.
