How is your data processed?
When you upload your CV, our platform uses a language model to automatically extract the structured information in your profile, such as professional experience, education, skills, certifications, and languages.
The goal is to save time by pre-filling your profile so you do not have to re-enter each item manually. We retain full control: all extracted data is reviewed and corrected manually before being saved.
This processing is based on the consultant's consent and does not constitute automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. Any question may be sent to contact@hbdconsulting.fr
Who helps us process your data?
Some data is sent to other actors, referred to as data processors, so they can help us handle it. We ensure that they strictly comply with the GDPR and provide sufficient security guarantees.
The platform, including processing and storage, is fully hosted in France by Scaleway SAS, whose registered office is located at 8 rue de la Ville-l'Évêque, 75008 Paris.
What security measures do we implement?
HBD Consulting implements appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with Article 32 GDPR to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
