This Policy applies to Applicants, Clients, and visitors. The Platform is not directed to and may not be used by anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors and will delete it if discovered.

Results, scores, recordings, and analyses generated through Intelliscreen or other Company Group screening tools.

Account, billing, and usage data for Clients and their authorized users.
Device, browser, IP address, identifiers, cookies and similar technologies, log and usage data, and approximate location.
To the extent you choose to provide it or it is required for a role (for example, work-authorization status), you consent to our processing of it for the purposes in Section 4. Do not submit special-category data that is not requested.
We use personal information to: operate and provide the Platform; build, maintain, and improve the Platform Database; display profiles to Clients and enable Clients to contact Applicants; verify and screen Applicants; develop, train, and improve products, services, models, and artificial-intelligence and machine-learning systems (including Intelliscreen); generate Aggregated and Derived Data; conduct analytics and research; market our and the Company Group’s services; ensure security and prevent fraud and abuse; enforce our Terms; comply with law; and carry out corporate transactions.
Where the EU/UK GDPR, Brazil’s LGPD, or similar law applies, we rely on: your consent (which you may withdraw prospectively); our legitimate interests in operating and monetizing a talent marketplace and improving our services; performance of, or steps toward, a contract; and compliance with legal obligations. Where consent is the basis, submitting information and accepting this Policy constitutes your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent to the processing described here, including the sharing, sale, and transfer described in Sections 6 and 7.
When you apply or submit information through the website or an application form, you provide this consent by checking the box (or using the equivalent affirmative control) confirming that you have read and agree to the Hirespot Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy before submitting. We record the date, time, version, and method of your consent. Your consent and the licenses and transfers made in reliance on it before any withdrawal remain valid as described in Section 9.
You expressly consent to the unrestricted sharing, combination, and joint use of your information among all members of the Company Group (Hirespot, Intelliscreen, Virtustant, and affiliates) for all purposes in this Policy. Information you submit to any one entity may be used by every entity.
Applicant profile information is disclosed to Clients and prospective Clients so they can review and contact you. This is a core function of the Platform.
We share data with vendors that process it for us under contract (hosting, analytics, payment, communications).
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the rights in Section 9, you acknowledge and consent that the Company Group may sell, license, lease, rent, share, and otherwise monetize personal information and Aggregated and Derived Data, on a standalone basis, in bulk, or as part of data products, to third parties. Under US state privacy laws, certain of our disclosures (including for cross-context behavioral advertising and data sales) may constitute a “sale” or “sharing”; you have the right to opt out as described in Section 9.
We may transfer or assign all data and rights as part of, or in negotiation of, any financing, merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of the business or assets, and the recipient may use the data consistent with this Policy.
We may disclose data to comply with law, respond to legal process, protect rights and safety, and enforce our Terms.
The Company Group operates globally and serves a global applicant base. Your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those of your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms). By submitting information, you consent to these transfers to the extent permitted by law.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict your personal information; to object to or withdraw consent for certain processing; to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of certain profiling; and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.
Submit a request to info@virtustant.com. We will verify your identity and respond within the period required by applicable law.
You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by contacting info@virtustant.com. We will honor recognized opt-out preference signals where required.
Where the GDPR or LGPD applies, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory or data-protection authority.
Rights are not absolute. We may retain and continue to use information where permitted by law (for example, to complete transactions already initiated, for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, or our legitimate interests). Withdrawal of consent and other requests operate prospectively and do not affect processing already performed, Aggregated and Derived Data already created, or licenses or transfers already made to third parties, except as mandatory law requires.
We retain personal information for as long as needed for the purposes in this Policy and, thereafter, for as long as permitted by applicable law, which for talent-database and Aggregated and Derived Data purposes may be indefinite. We may retain de-identified, aggregated, and derived data indefinitely.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. You submit information at your own risk and are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials.
We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can manage preferences through your browser and, where offered, our cookie controls. Some features may not function without certain cookies.
When you provide your phone number and check the applicable consent box during registration, application, or any form submission, you consent to receive WhatsApp messages and calls from Virtustant regarding job opportunities, staffing services, and sales. These communications are delivered through Meta’s WhatsApp Business platform and/or Twilio. The consent statement presented to you is: “Acepto recibir mensajes y llamadas de WhatsApp de Virtustant sobre oportunidades laborales o ventas. Puedo darme de baja respondiendo BAJA.”
Opt-out: You may withdraw consent at any time by replying BAJA or STOP to any WhatsApp message from us. After opting out, you will no longer receive WhatsApp communications from Virtustant, though we may still contact you through other channels you have consented to. Message and data rates may apply.
Your WhatsApp consent is recorded in our audit system with the same protections applied to all other consents: date and time of consent, the exact consent text version shown, the channel used, and associated technical identifiers. This record is retained in accordance with Section 10 (Retention).
The Platform links to or integrates third-party services (including LinkedIn, job boards, payment processors, and ad networks) governed by their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for them. Review their policies before use.
We may update this Policy at any time. The updated version is effective when posted with a new effective date. Material changes will be notified as required by law. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
