Who we are
TalentBridge is the trading name of SFC ALB SHPK, NIPT M01413031F, Rruga Gramoz Pashko, Tirane 1010, Albania. SFC ALB SHPK decides how your personal data is used. In the words of the law, we are the controller.
For anything about your data, write to info@talentbridge.al, call +355 68 20 90 980, or write to our address above. This policy follows Albanian Law No. 124/2024 “On Personal Data Protection”.
What we collect and why
| What | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Your application | Your first and last name, email address, phone number, your CV and the day you sent it. We use these to consider you for a position with TalentBridge and the companies we work for, and to contact you about it. | Your consent, given with the checkbox on the form (Article 7(1)(a)), and the steps needed before a possible employment contract (Article 7(1)(b)). |
| Technical data | Your IP address, browser type and the page you asked for. We need these to show you the website, keep it secure and stop spam (for example, at most five applications per address every 15 minutes). | Our legitimate interest in running a secure website (Article 7(1)(dh)). |
| Visit statistics | How many people view the page, from which country and from which site they came. These numbers are counted without cookies and cannot be traced back to you. | Our legitimate interest in knowing whether the site works (Article 7(1)(dh)). |
We do not use your data for advertising or marketing. We do not make automated decisions about you, and we never sell your data.
What you have to give us
No law requires you to give us any data. But we cannot consider an application without your name, an email address, a phone number and a CV. If you would rather not use the form, you can email your CV to info@talentbridge.al; this policy applies the same way.
Who else sees it
Inside TalentBridge, only the people who recruit see your application. If your profile fits a position with one of our clients, we tell you before we share your CV with them. These companies handle your data for us, only to do the job we hired them for:
- Vercel Inc. (USA) hosts the website, runs the application form and counts visits.
- monday.com Ltd. (Israel, with data hosted in the EU or the USA) holds our recruiting board, where your application and CV are kept while we consider them.
- Google Workspace (Google Ireland Limited, with data also processed in the USA) hosts our email inbox, where applications sent to info@talentbridge.al and our replies are kept.
Google also serves the map on our page. When you scroll to the map, your browser loads it straight from Google, so Google receives your IP address and may set its own cookies. For that data Google is a separate controller and follows its own privacy policy. You can avoid this by not scrolling to the map.
WhatsApp carries the chat if you use the WhatsApp button on our page. The button only opens WhatsApp; our page sends it nothing. What you write to us there reaches the people who recruit, and this policy applies to it as it does to email. For the chat itself, WhatsApp (Meta) is a separate controller and follows its own privacy policy.
We share data with public authorities only when Albanian law requires it.
Data sent outside Albania
Vercel, monday.com and Google process data in the United States, Israel and the European Union, so your application travels there on its way to us and while it is stored. We send it only because that is necessary to take the steps you asked for before any contract, namely considering your application (Article 41(3)(b)). Write to us if you want to know exactly how a provider protects your data.
How long we keep it
- Applications and CVs: deleted from our recruiting board and our inbox six months after we receive them. If you join us, your employment file tells you how we keep the data it needs.
- Spam protection: your IP address is held in memory for at most 15 minutes.
- Hosting logs: kept by Vercel for a short period set by their own retention rules, then deleted.
If you withdraw consent or ask us to delete your application, we delete it sooner.
Your rights
Under Law No. 124/2024 you can ask us to:
- tell you whether we hold data about you and give you a copy (Article 14);
- correct data that is wrong or incomplete, or delete it (Article 15);
- stop using your data for a while, for example while we check whether it is correct (Article 17);
- send you the data you gave us in a common machine-readable format, or send it to someone else (Article 18);
- stop using your data where we rely on our legitimate interest (Article 19).
You can also withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it: write to info@talentbridge.al. Withdrawing does not make what we already did with your data unlawful (Article 8(3)).
This costs nothing. We answer within 30 days. If a request is complex, we may need up to 60 days, and we will tell you why within the first 30 (Article 12(4)). If we are not sure a request really comes from you, we may ask you to confirm who you are first (Article 12(3)).
Complaints
If you think we have mishandled your data, please tell us first so we can fix it. You also have the right to complain to the supervisory authority, or to go to court:
Commissioner for the Right to Information and Personal Data Protection
(Komisioneri për të Drejtën e Informimit dhe Mbrojtjen e të Dhënave Personale)
Rruga “Abdi Toptani”, Nd. 5, Tirana · info@idp.al · www.idp.al
Cookies, analytics and browser storage
We set no cookies. Visits are counted by Vercel Web Analytics, which works without cookies and does not identify you. The Google map is the only part of the page that may set cookies, as described above.
Security
The site is served only over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Our server logs contain nothing from the form, and only the people who recruit can open the inbox. If a breach ever puts your data at risk, we will tell the Commissioner within 72 hours (Article 29), and we will tell you directly if the risk to you is high.
Children
The application form is not meant for anyone under 16. If someone under 16 sends us an application without a parent’s or guardian’s consent, we delete it (Article 8(6)).
Changes to this policy
If we change how we use your data, we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects an application you have already sent, we will tell you before it applies.
