At MaxIT Consulting – Max Corporate Group
(“MaxIT Consulting,” “MaxIT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect privacy
and are committed to handling personal information responsibly,
transparently and securely.

This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, store, disclose,
transfer and protect personal information when individuals visit our
websites, communicate with us, request information about our services,

interact with MaxIT Consulting.

Our activities may include recruitment, executive search, direct hire,
contingency recruiting, contract staffing, staff augmentation,
consulting, professional services, talent sourcing, business development,

apply.

• Your consent.
• Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract or professional relationship.
• Performance of a contractual relationship.
• Compliance with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
• Legitimate business interests, including recruitment, staffing,
  professional sourcing, client management, business development,
  security and service improvement, subject to appropriate balancing
  against applicable individual rights.

Where processing is based on consent, consent may generally be withdrawn
at any time, subject to applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect
processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

6. Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation

We seek to collect and process personal information that is reasonably
relevant and proportionate to the purposes for which it is used.

Personal information should not be used for materially incompatible
purposes unless an appropriate legal basis exists or additional notice
is provided where required.

7. Candidate Sourcing, Recruitment and Talent Matching

MaxIT Consulting may maintain professional information regarding candidates
and prospective candidates for recruitment, staffing, consulting and
talent-matching purposes.

Candidate information may be evaluated against a specific opportunity and
may also be considered for future opportunities reasonably corresponding
to the individual’s professional background, qualifications, experience,
location or expressed interests.

Where appropriate, MaxIT Consulting may contact professionals regarding
opportunities that we reasonably believe could be relevant to their
professional profile.

Candidate information may be shared with clients, prospective employers
or authorized recruiting partners where reasonably necessary for a
legitimate recruitment process and subject to applicable legal,
contractual, confidentiality and data-protection requirements.

Where required by the applicable process or law, MaxIT Consulting may
request authorization before representing or submitting a candidate to
a particular client or opportunity.

Providing professional information to MaxIT Consulting does not guarantee
submission, interview, employment, engagement, offer or placement.

8. Candidate Verification and Process Integrity

Certain recruitment processes may include reasonable verification measures
intended to support candidate identity, eligibility, representation
authorization, geographic requirements, work authorization, duplicate
submission controls, security or process integrity.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, such measures may use
information voluntarily supplied by the candidate, professional
information, submission records or technical information associated with
the relevant interaction.

Technical or geographic signals, when used, are intended to support
legitimate verification and integrity purposes and should not be interpreted
as continuous or precise physical tracking of an individual.

9. AI-Assisted and Technology-Assisted Processing

MaxIT Consulting may use artificial intelligence, machine learning,
automation and other technology-assisted tools to support activities
including:

• Candidate sourcing and discovery.
• Information organization and classification.
• Resume and professional-profile analysis.
• Skills, experience and opportunity matching.
• Candidate ranking and prioritization.
• Screening and interview support.
• Transcription and summarization.
• Communications and workflow automation.
• Analytics and operational decision support.

These technologies are intended to support professional workflows and
human decision-making rather than replace appropriate professional
judgment.

MaxIT Consulting does not intend to make solely automated decisions that
produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals where such
processing would be prohibited or would require additional safeguards
under applicable law.

Where applicable law imposes specific requirements regarding artificial
intelligence or automated decision-making in employment or recruitment,
we seek to apply required notices, safeguards and review mechanisms.

10. Cookies, Analytics and Similar Technologies

Our websites may use cookies, pixels, analytics technologies and similar
tools to:

• Support website functionality.
• Remember preferences.
• Understand website traffic and usage.
• Measure website and service performance.
• Improve user experience.
• Support security and fraud prevention.
• Measure communications or marketing effectiveness where applicable.

These technologies may include Google Analytics, Meta technologies or
comparable analytics, advertising and measurement services where
implemented.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be provided with
mechanisms to manage certain cookie or tracking preferences.
Browser settings may also permit cookies to be blocked, restricted or
deleted.

Where applicable privacy laws characterize certain advertising or
analytics disclosures as a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted
advertising, MaxIT Consulting will seek to provide any choices or notices
required by applicable law.

11. Email, Telephone, SMS and Other Communications

MaxIT Consulting may communicate through email, telephone, SMS, messaging
applications, professional networks, video-conferencing platforms or other
appropriate channels in connection with:

• Recruitment and staffing processes.
• Professional opportunities.
• Existing business relationships.
• Service-related communications.
• Partnership activities.
• Commercial inquiries.
• Marketing activities where permitted.

Where required by applicable law, marketing communications will be sent
only where an appropriate legal basis exists.

Individuals may request to stop receiving promotional communications using
an available unsubscribe mechanism or by contacting us directly.

Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily prevent
administrative, transactional, recruitment, legal or service-related
communications.

12. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information

MaxIT Consulting does not disclose personal information indiscriminately.
Information may be shared where reasonably necessary for recruitment,
staffing, service delivery, legitimate business operations or legal
compliance.

Recipients may include:

Service providers processing information on our behalf are expected to
process such information only for authorized purposes and subject to
appropriate confidentiality, contractual and security obligations.

13. International Data Transfers

MaxIT Consulting operates internationally and may work with candidates,
clients, consultants, technology providers and business partners located
in different countries, including the United States, Latin America and
Europe.

Personal information may therefore be accessed, processed or stored in a
jurisdiction different from the jurisdiction in which it was originally
collected.

Where required by applicable law, we seek to implement appropriate
safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

14. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for
the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate recruitment,
staffing, client-management, administrative, contractual, compliance and
legal purposes.

Relevant factors may include:

• The nature and sensitivity of the information.
• The nature and duration of the relationship.
• Whether a recruitment or professional process remains active or reasonably anticipated.
• Candidate ownership, representation or contractual periods.
• Applicable statutes of limitation.
• Legal, regulatory, tax or contractual requirements.
• The need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete,
anonymize, de-identify or securely archive it, as appropriate.

15. Data Accuracy

We seek to maintain personal information that is reasonably accurate,
complete and relevant for the purposes for which it is processed.

Candidates, clients and other individuals are encouraged to inform us when
material professional or contact information changes.

16. Information Security

MaxIT Consulting uses reasonable technical, administrative and
organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against
unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction.

Safeguards may include:

• Access controls.
• Authentication procedures.
• Restricted permissions.
• Secure cloud and technology infrastructure.
• Internal data-management procedures.
• Security monitoring.
• Backup and recovery practices.
• Vendor and service-provider controls where appropriate.

No internet transmission, electronic communication, information system or
storage environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

17. Privacy and Data Protection Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction and applicable law, you may have rights
including the ability to:

• Request access to personal information maintained about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion where applicable.
• Request restriction of certain processing activities.
• Object to certain processing activities.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity,
authority or the validity of a request before processing it.

Certain rights may be subject to legal exceptions, retention obligations
or other limitations permitted by applicable law.

18. Jurisdiction-Specific Privacy Rights

Individuals located in certain jurisdictions, including jurisdictions
within the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom,
Latin America or other regions, may have additional rights under
applicable privacy or data-protection laws.

Where such laws apply to MaxIT Consulting’s processing activities, we seek
to comply with the applicable requirements and honor legally available
privacy rights.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to restrict rights that cannot
lawfully be restricted under applicable law.

19. Third-Party Websites, Platforms and Services

Our websites, communications and recruitment processes may contain links
to, integrate with or interact with third-party websites, applicant-tracking
systems, recruiting platforms, professional networks or other external
services.

Independently operated services are governed by their own privacy notices
and terms. MaxIT Consulting is not responsible for the privacy, security
or content practices of third parties that independently determine how
they process personal information.

20. Information About Other Individuals

If you provide personal information relating to another individual, such
as a professional reference, colleague, business contact or candidate,
you should ensure that you are authorized to provide that information
where required by applicable law.

21. Children’s Privacy

MaxIT Consulting’s services are primarily directed to businesses,
professionals, job candidates, consultants and other adult users.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in
circumstances where such processing would not be permitted by applicable
law.

22. Corporate Transactions

If MaxIT Consulting or a relevant part of its operations is involved in a
merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets or similar
corporate transaction, personal information may be disclosed or
transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal
requirements and appropriate safeguards.

23. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in
our services, business practices, technologies, regulatory obligations or
privacy standards.

The current version will be published on our website together with its
latest revision date. We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy
periodically.

24. Responsible Organization and Privacy Contact

Depending on the particular relationship, contractual arrangement,
jurisdiction and processing activity, the relevant MaxIT Consulting entity

means of processing personal information.
