INTERNSHIP FOR EMPLOYERS

Our goal is to support individuals in leading more fulfilling and productive professional lives while helping organizations thrive. Protecting your privacy and being transparent about how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded is essential to fostering trust.

This Privacy Policy outlines in detail how we gather, manage, and protect your data, as well as the steps you can take to control it. We are committed to being open and clear about our practices, ensuring you can engage with us with confidence. By registering and creating an account with us, using our products and services, visiting our Platforms, or simply engaging with us over the phone, via email, in person, or by any other means, the terms contained in this Privacy Policy will apply to you.

We operate an online internship platform/marketplace initially planned to launch in the Philippines.

This section sets out which legal entity in the INTERNSHIP by CBZN CORPORATIONS is responsible for the Personal Information we collect from you and clarifies when we are a controller or a processor of your Personal Information.

If you are a Student or candidate looking for an internship, we will process your job application (and any Personal Information included within that application) on behalf of the Advertiser or company to whom you are applying.

If you are from the School or the official platform administrator, you will have access to information about the students at your institution. This includes their details, the companies they applied for, and the progression of their current internship.

If you are from the Company, you will have access to information about the students who applied for internships at your company. This includes the students’ details such as their schools, programs, and internship progress.

For the processing of such information, there will be assigned persons of contact from the internship platform who will collect and filter the necessary information from all sectors.

To deliver our services to you, we must process your Personal Information. If you do not wish for your information to be processed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, you may not be able to use our platforms, products, or services properly.

You have the option to withhold your Personal Information. However, please note that not providing the required information may limit our ability to offer you some or all of our products or services.

We will also process your Personal Information to fulfil our legal obligations. If the legal basis for processing is to comply with these obligations, failure to provide the necessary information may result in non-compliance with the law, which could affect both you and us.

We may share your Personal Information in several different ways.

a. INTERNSHIP Platform by CBZN CORPORATIONS
⁠We may also collect your Personal Information via third parties, for example:

b. Advertisers/Partner Companies
If you are a Student/Candidate, you agree that we may share your Personal Information with Advertisers when you apply for a job advertisement on our Platforms.

By applying to a job advertisement, you agree that we may share the information in your Profile and your application with the relevant Advertiser and that your information may be stored in:

our Advertiser Centre on behalf of the Advertiser;
the Advertiser’s careers platform; or
the Advertiser’s chosen recruitment software.

For any inquiries related to job advertisements, job applications, or the status of your applications, please contact the Advertiser directly.

Depending on your Profile visibility settings, we may share your Profile with Advertisers, allowing them to view your Profile and any Personal Information within it when searching for Candidates.

To apply for certain jobs, parts of your Profile will be shared with the Advertiser. Even if you’ve adjusted your visibility settings, when required, your job application and parts of your Profile (such as General Data, Contact Data, Background Data, Third Party Data, and Location Data) will be shared with the Advertiser.

We will notify you when your Profile becomes part of your application and specify which parts of your Profile will be sent to the Advertiser.

Please note that if you choose to share your Profile, resume, or other application information with Advertisers, they may share this information with third parties (e.g., if you apply to a job posted by a recruiter who shares your details with the hiring company). We cannot control how these Advertisers or their third-party partners use or store your information outside of our Platforms.

However, Advertisers are obligated to comply with all applicable laws governing the use and disclosure of personal information. Nevertheless, the responsibility for ensuring such compliance is no longer under the responsibility or control of CBZN CORPORATIONS.

c. Third Parties
Service Providers and Partners: We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers, contractors, and partners to assist in delivering our products and services, or to enable you to access their products or services. We may also share it for surveys, trials, and customer research.

Government Authorities: We may disclose your Personal Information to relevant government authorities, law enforcement, or regulatory bodies when legally required, such as to comply with court orders or other legal obligations.

We take reasonable steps to ensure the security of our systems and protect your Personal Information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Any Personal Information we store is kept on secure servers and within controlled facilities.

We follow industry-standard security practices to protect your Personal Information. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We require third parties with whom we share your Personal Information (including Advertisers) to comply with relevant privacy laws and obligations regarding the use and disclosure of your information. If you provide information directly to a third party (such as when applying for a job via an Advertiser’s career platform), their use of your information will be governed by their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for or in control of their practices.

You also play a vital role in securing your Personal Information. Please ensure the confidentiality of your passwords and account details used on our Platforms. If you become aware of any unauthorized use or security breach related to your account, please notify us immediately.

We use cookies to collect information about the activity of a user on our website or app, allowing us to personalize your experience, analyze website traffic, and improve our services; this data may include details like your browsing history, device type, and location, but is usually anonymized to protect your privacy; you can often manage your cookie settings through your browser settings.

We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as outlined in this Privacy Policy, or until you request its deletion. After such a request, we will take reasonable steps to delete your Personal Information, following applicable Privacy Laws, if required.

In certain circumstances, we may retain your Personal Information even after you have requested deletion if retention is necessary for us to comply with our legitimate interests, legal obligations, or regulatory requirements. This may include resolving disputes, preventing and addressing fraud or abuse, storing data in testing or backup systems (for a limited time), or enforcing this Privacy Policy and our other Terms and Conditions. Information held in testing environments is stored securely and used only for internal software testing purposes. Data in backup systems is retained solely for restoring systems in case of data loss.

We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. You should review this Privacy Policy periodically so that you are updated on any changes. In some circumstances, depending on the nature of the changes, you will be notified of the changes to this Privacy Policy before they take effect if required to do so under applicable Privacy Laws.

By continuing to use our Platforms, products, or services, you agree to any modifications that are made to this Privacy Policy.
