How we protect your privacy

on HR.CARE and when you use our services

Odoo Advantage Ltd (registered in Ireland and trading as HR.CARE) offers many services to help you run your business, including a platform to host your own database. As part of running those services, we collect data about you and your business. This data is not only essential to run our services, but also critical for the safety of our services and all our users.

This policy explains what information is collected, why it is collected, and how we use it.

Information we collect

Most of the personal data we collect is directly provided by our users when they register and use our services. Other data is collected by recording interactions with our services.

Account & Contact Data:  When you register on our website to use or download one of our products, or to subscribe to one of our services, or fill in one of our contact forms, you voluntarily give us certain information. This typically includes your name, company name, email address, and sometimes your phone number, postal address (when an invoice or delivery is required), your business sector and interest in HR.CARE, as well as a personal password.

We never record or store credit card information from our customers, and always rely on trusted third-party 
 PCI-DSS-compliant payment processors  for credit card processing, including for recurring payment processing.

Job Application Data:  When you apply for a job on our website or via an employment agency, we usually collect your contact information (name, email, phone) and any information you choose to share with us in your introduction letter and Curriculum Vitae. If we decide to send you a job proposition, we will also ask you to provide extra personal details as required to fulfill our legal obligations and personnel management requirements.

We will not ask you to provide information that is not necessary for the recruitment process. In particular, we will never collect any information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or trade union membership.

Browser Data:  When you visit our website and access our online services, we detect and store your browser language and geolocation in order to customize your experience according to your country and preferred language. Our servers also passively record a summary of the information sent by your browser for statistical, security and legal purposes: your IP address, the time and date of your visit, your browser version and platform, and the web page that referred you to our website.

Form protection : some forms on our website may be protected by Google reCAPTCHA. This technology relies on heuristics that are based on technical characteristics of your browser and device, and may also use specific Google cookies. See also Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Use in the  Third Party Service Providers  section below.

Customer Databases:  When you subscribe to HR.CARE Cloud service, any information or content you submit or upload into your database is your own, and you control it fully.

This data will often include personal information, for example, your list of employees, your contacts and customers, your messages, pictures, videos, etc. We only ever collect this information on your behalf, and you always retain ownership and full control of this data.

The other sections of this Policy explain:


How we use this information

Account & Contact Data:  We use your contact information in order to provide our services, to answer your requests, and for billing and account management reasons. We may also use this information for marketing and communication purposes (our marketing messages always come with a way for you to opt-out at any time). We also use this data in aggregated/anonymised form in order to analyze service trends.

If you have registered to participate in an event published on our website, we may transfer your name, email address, phone number and company name to our local organizer and to the sponsors of the event for both direct marketing purposes and in order to facilitate the preparations and booking for the event.

Job Application Data:  We will only process this information for our recruitment process, in order to evaluate and follow-up with your application, and in the course of preparing your contract, if we decide to send you a job proposition. You may contact us at any time to request the deletion of your information.

Browser Data:  This automatically recorded data is anonymously analyzed in order to maintain and improve our services. Google reCAPTCHA may also be used for security purposes, in order to prevent abuse of our services. In that case, we only process the anonymous score that reCAPTCHA determines based on your browser and device.
We will only correlate this data with your personal data when required by law or for security purposes, if you have violated our 
 Acceptable Use Policy .

Customer Database:  We only collect and process this data on your behalf, in order to perform the services you have subscribed to, and based on the instructions you explicitly gave when you registered or configured your service and your HR.CARE database.
Our Helpdesk staff and engineers may access this information in a limited and reasonable manner in order to solve any issue with our services, or at your explicit request for support reasons, or as required by law, or to ensure the security of our services in case of violation of our 
 Acceptable Use Policy  in order to keep our services secure.

  • how long we keep it ,

Accessing, Updating or Deleting Your Personal Information

Account & Contact Data:  You have the right to access and update the personal data you have previously provided to us. You can do so at any time by connecting to your personal account on HR.CARE. If you wish to permanently delete your account or personal information for a legitimate purpose, please write to us support@hr.care to request so. We will take all reasonable steps to permanently delete your personal information, except when we are required to keep it for legal reasons (typically, for administration, billing and tax reporting reasons).

Job Application Data:  You may contact us at any time to request access, updates or deletion of your application information. The easiest way to do it is to reply to the last message you exchanged with our Human Resource personnel.

Customer Database: You can manage any data collected in your databases hosted on HR.CARE at any time, using your administration credentials, including modifying or deleting any personal data stored therein.

At any time you can export a complete backup of your database via email request to support@hr.care , in order to transfer it, or to manage your own backups/archive. You are responsible for processing this data in compliance with all privacy regulations.

You may also request the deletion of your entire database, at any time.

We realize how important and sensitive your personal data is, and we take a great number of measures to ensure that this information is securely processed, stored and preserved from data loss and unauthorized access. Our technical, administrative and organizational security measures are described in details in our  Security Policy .

Job Application Data:  If we do not hire you, we may keep the information you provide for up to 2 years in order to contact you again for any new job proposition that may come up, unless you ask us not to do so.

For databases hosted on the HR.CARE Cloud, if you cancel the service your database is kept deactivated for 3 weeks (the grace period during which you can change your mind), and then destroyed. For databases uploaded to the HR.CARE Database Upgrade website, your database is kept for up to 4 months after the last successful upgrade and may be deleted earlier upon request.

The personal data could remain stored for up to 12 months in those backups, until they are automatically destroyed.
