Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 August 2026

1. Who we are

Career Consulting Worldwide ("CCW", "we", "us") is a boutique HR consultancy based in the European Union. We act as the data controller for any personal data you share with us via this site, email, WhatsApp, or our intake form.

For privacy enquiries: contact@careerconsultingww.com

2. What we collect

  • Identification data: name, contact details, role of interest.
  • Professional data: CV, cover letter, employment history, references.
  • Communication records: emails, messages, meeting notes.
  • Technical data: anonymised analytics about how this site is used.

3. Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)

  • Consent — when you submit your CV via our form.
  • Contract — when we deliver services to a client organisation.
  • Legitimate interest — to run our business, contact you about relevant roles, and protect against fraud.

4. How we use your data

We use candidate data exclusively to evaluate fit for current or upcoming opportunities, to introduce you (only with your prior consent) to client organisations, and to keep you informed of relevant roles.

5. Retention

CVs and candidate records are retained for a maximum of 24 months from your last interaction, after which they are deleted unless you ask us to keep them longer.

6. Sharing

Your CV is only shared with a client organisation after we have obtained your explicit consent for that specific role. We never sell personal data. Our service providers (cloud storage, email) are GDPR-compliant processors bound by data processing agreements.

7. International transfers

Where data is transferred outside the EEA (e.g. to clients in Asia), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses and additional safeguards to ensure equivalent protection.

8. Your rights (GDPR Art. 15–22)

You have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your data
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority

To exercise these rights, email contact@careerconsultingww.com.

9. Security

We use industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. Access to candidate records is strictly limited to authorised CCW personnel.

10. Cookies

This site uses only essential cookies required for it to function. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
