Privacy Policy
Our commitment to privacy
We take our responsibility to protect the personal data provided to us seriously. This Policy explains how we do that. It sets out what we do with the personal information we hold, how we protect it, and it explains your privacy rights (if applicable).
We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of your personal data. Please read the following Policy to understand how we collect and use your personal data, for example when you contact us, visit or use one of our websites, mobile applications, portals, or other parts of our network (each a “Site”), apply for a job, or use our products and services, regardless of how you access them. This Policy also explains the rights available to you in respect of your personal data.
The personal information we collect
When we collect personal data, we are open about how we will use it.
- through our Sites - for example names, addresses or email details and other information you may upload to our Sites;
- from meetings with staff or business contacts, such as exchanging business cards, or collecting information at conferences or community events; and
- that you provide to us in connection with the services we provide. For example, we may collect from you in connection to services that we provide to our customers.
Data that you provide voluntarily to us
When you use our Sites, products or services, or you otherwise communicate with us, we may ask you to provide certain personal data voluntarily, including but not limited to your name, company position, postal address, telephone number, mobile number, email address, credit card or other payment details, age or date of birth, account usernames, passwords or gender. For example, we may ask you to provide some or all of this personal data when you register an account with us, subscribe to our marketing communications, purchase products or services and/or submit inquiries to us. We use this information to create and administer your account, send you marketing communications, provide you with the products and services you request, and to respond to your inquiries.
Data collected automatically
When you use our Sites, products or services, we may collect certain data automatically from your computers or devices (including mobile devices). The data we collect automatically may include your IP address (explained further below), device type, operating system details, unique device identification numbers (including mobile advertising identifiers), browser-type, browser language, operating system, geographic location (as explained further under the heading “Location information”) and other technical information. We may also collect data about how your device has interacted with our Sites, products or services, including the pages or features accessed and links clicked, the amount of time spent on particular pages, mouse hovers, the date and time of the interaction, error logs, referring and exit pages and URLs, and similar information. Collecting this data enables us to better understand the visitors who use our Sites, products, and services, including where they come from and what features are of interest to them. We use this information for our internal analytics purposes, and to improve the quality, relevance and security of our Sites, products and services.
For example, every time you connect to the Sites, we store a log of your visit that shows the unique number your machine uses when it is connected to the Internet—its IP address. This log tells us what your machine has looked at, whether the page request was successful or not, and which browser your machine used to view the pages. This data is used for statistical purposes as well as to help customize the user experience as you browse the Sites and subsequently interact with EA MAFIA LLC. This helps us to understand which areas of the Site are of particular interest, which pages are not being requested, and how many people are visiting the Sites in total. It also helps us to determine which products and services may be of specific interest to you. We may also use this information to block IP addresses where there is a breach of the terms and conditions for use of the Sites.
Data uploaded to our sites by our customers
Our Sites may offer functionality for our customers to upload personal data of their employees and other persons. In such cases, we are acting as a service provider to our customers. Our customers are responsible for ensuring that they have provided all required notices and obtained all necessary consents from any individuals whose personal data has been uploaded to our Sites. If you are an individual that wishes to exercise your rights with respect to such personal data that a customer has uploaded to the Sites, you may contact the customer directly or contact us as set forth in this Policy.
Data that we obtain from third-party sources
From time to time, we may receive personal data about you from third-party sources (including without limitation our customers, recruitment agencies, credit check agencies, agencies providing compliance checks, lead generation providers, resellers and other partners who sell our products and services to you), but only where such third parties have confirmed that they have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal data to us.
The types of personal data we collect from third parties include contact details, CVs, credit history, and order information, and we use the information we receive from these third parties to assess your suitability for a job position, carry out compliance checks required under applicable law (such as anti-bribery and corruption checks), make credit decisions, maintain and improve the accuracy of the records we hold about you, and market our products and services to you. As noted above, customers may upload to the Sites or otherwise provide us personal data regarding their own employees or employees of EA MAFIA LLC in connection with the services we provide those customers.
We also receive personal data from other members of the industry that forms part of or otherwise helps us to develop, test and enhance our own product offerings, some of which could contain personal data (where permitted by applicable law).
We may combine information that we collect from you with information about you that we obtain from such third parties.
Location information
We may collect different types of data about your location, including general information and more specific information (for example GPS-based functionality on mobile devices when used to access a Site, product, or service). This data may be used to monitor and manage access and use of our services, such as accessing and inputting information into online platforms we may offer, or customize the services provided to you, such as location-based information, advertising and features. If you are using a mobile device to access online platforms we may offer, your location information may be shared with our customers. In other cases, your location information may be shared with our agents, vendors or advertisers. If you access the Site or our products and Services through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this. However, this may prevent you from using certain features of our Site. See your device manufacturer's instructions for further details.
Other specific ways we collect and use your personal data for job applications
If you are making a job application or inquiry, you may provide us with a copy of your resume or other relevant information. We may use this information for the purpose of assessing your application or inquiry. We may also keep this information on file to contact you about future opportunities, unless you ask us not to do this. Please note that personal data collected from our employees is subject to our internal employee privacy policy and not this Policy. Please also note you may be given the opportunity to apply for job openings online through an applicant tracking system operated by a third party which shall collect relevant information related to a job application or inquiry.

Our legal basis for processing your data
Where required by law, we rely upon a number of different legal bases for processing personal data and special category personal data—these include processing personal data where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, where this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or providing services, or where the processing is necessary to carry out our obligations under employment law. Where we rely on our legitimate interests, this means that we use personal information to run our business and to provide the services we have been asked to provide. We only collect information that has been supplied voluntarily; you do not have to provide us with personal data. However, if you do not provide us with the information we need by law or require to do work, we may not be able to offer certain products and services.
However, we will normally collect personal data from you only where we need the personal data to perform a contract with you, comply with legal obligations or provide our services to our customers, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, or where we have your consent to do so. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal data from you or may otherwise need the personal data to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal data, please contact us at privacy@eamafia.com.
