In particular, we collect information about you when you register and create an account, post content on any of our Sites, upload your CV. We also collect information about the payment methods you use to make any transactions with us.

We do not collect any information relating to online transactions or other sensitive information. Any information that we do not require to render services to you will not be requested either optionally or mandatorily.

We will take your consent before collecting any information, sensitive or otherwise. We will need you to disclose all the right information for registration and admission purposes.

• to authenticate your identity and administer your account;
• to personalize aspects of our services;
• to deal with your inquiries and requests;

Additionally, where you have provided us with consent, we will also use your personal information for specific other purposes, including:

• to share with institutions;
• to contact you about opportunities that we believe may be relevant to you and to provide you with updates about developments on the Sites and information about the products and services we offer;

3. Personal information that we share with third parties

To provide our Sites' services, we sometimes need to share your personal information with other companies in the SIB group. However, we will continue to be responsible for your information usage and security when this happens.

We may also share your personal information with third-party processors or suppliers that we engage to provide services to us and support our offering to you (such as our hosting providers). These third parties may need to process your personal information on our behalf to provide such services. This is the case; we take great care only to appoint reliable third parties to guarantee your personal information and business information. For example, we ask each such third party to complete an information security questionnaire to ensure their practices and procedures provide the security level that we would expect (and is required under law) when processing personal information. Note that these third parties process personal information on behalf of SIB and have no right to use, disclose, or transfer your personal information in any other way.

• we may process your personal information where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, for example:
• to analyze and create statistical reports based on the services we provide and our performance of those services; and

Where we rely on your consent to process any of your personal information, you may revoke your consent at any time. Any such revocation will not affect the lawfulness of any prior use of that personal information.
