PDI PRIVACY POLICY[updated 30 Jun 2021]
PRINCIPLES
At Progressive Development Initiative (PDI) we place great importance on the security of your data and commit ourselves to protect the privacy and treat personal data of every person using our services as highly confidential.
You may visit our website without providing your personal details. We only save access data without any personal details. These details are solely assessed to improve our services and do not allow any conclusion on your person.
Personal data is only saved if you voluntarily agree to it during your visit to our website.
We employ technical and organizational measures in order to safeguard our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, changes or the distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. Notwithstanding our best efforts, complete data security and protection against all risks is not possible.
TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
PDI shall use the data we receive from you to evaluate and process your application; and/or to process your comments that we receive. Your data (CV and other introductory, motivational or application letters) shall only be transmitted to our clients (the employing organization) after having received your written consent that we may do so.
Once PDI has completed a recruitment process your personal data will be deleted from our system unless we have obtained your written consent that your data may remain on our database. Any transmission to third parties thereafter may only take place after your renewed written consent.
As a health and development technical assistance firm we engage in active sourcing. By doing pro-active research we identify potential candidates who might have an interest in the roles we are recruiting for. Through networking, but also via various organizational websites and portals, we find and obtain contact details of these potential candidates in order to contact them to see if they would be interested in available roles. Again, a transmission to third parties of personal data obtained only takes place after having received written consent.
Transmission of your data to another third party or for marketing purposes shall not take place under any circumstances.
TRANSMISSION OF DATA TO A THIRD COUNTRY
During a recruitment process it may be the case that we have to transmit your personal data to a third party country/organization whose data protections laws are significantly different than European Union. In those instances we will do our best to offer a similar protection of personal data shared with us; this includes any subsidiary organisations that may work for us. DATA SECURITY
We employ technical and organizational measures in order to safeguard our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, changes or the distribution of your data by unauthorized persons.
