Privacy Policy

At Blockera Resource Solutions, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy and security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal data we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to protect your information. As a recruitment company specializing in the crypto, Blockchain, and AI industries, we recognize the importance of protecting your personal information in a fast-evolving digital world.

​

Introduction to GDPR and UK Data Protection

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) governs how we process and store personal data. Although the UK has exited the EU, the GDPR remains applicable under the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and this policy reflects those protections. By using our website and services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

​

Our Responsibility as Data Controller

Blockera Resource Solutions is the data controller for any personal data we collect or process. This means we are responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is used and ensuring that your data rights are protected.

​

What Personal Data We Collect

We may collect and process various categories of personal data when you interact with us, particularly when you sign up as a candidate, client, or supplier. This data may come directly from you, publicly available sources, third-party platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, job boards), or from interactions with our team. The types of data we collect include, but are not limited to:

  • Full Name

  • Contact Details (Phone, Email, Address)

  • Date of Birth

  • Employment History

  • Education and Qualifications

  • Proof of Right to Work

  • Salary Expectations

  • CV and Professional Background

  • Job Preferences

  • Social Media Profiles (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)

  • Cookies, IP Address, and Website Usage Data

​

Special Categories of Data

We avoid processing any sensitive personal data (e.g., race, religion, political beliefs, health information) unless necessary for legal or contractual reasons. In cases where such data is needed, we will only process it with your explicit consent or as required by law.

​

How We Use Your Data

The personal data we collect is used to provide recruitment and related services, specifically within the crypto, web3, and DeFi sectors. We use your data for the following purposes:

  • Facilitating job placements and matching candidates with roles

  • Sending relevant job alerts based on your preferences

  • Verifying your qualifications, eligibility, and work history

  • Communicating with you regarding opportunities, contracts, and offers

  • Processing payroll for contract positions

  • Fulfilling legal and regulatory obligations

  • Monitoring and improving our website's performance (via cookies and analytics)

​

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

We only process your personal data where we have a legal basis to do so, which may include:

  • Legitimate Interests: For recruitment purposes, such as contacting candidates or clients for job opportunities.

  • Contractual Obligations: Processing data necessary to fulfill contractual relationships, such as providing recruitment services or managing client-supplier agreements.

  • Consent: Where required, such as for marketing communications. You can withdraw consent at any time.

  • Legal Obligations: Complying with regulatory requirements such as employment law, tax obligations, or anti-fraud measures.

​

Sharing Your Data with Third Parties

We may share your personal data with trusted third parties, including:

  • Clients: As part of the recruitment process to match you with potential employers.

  • Service Providers: Such as payroll processors, accounting services, or IT support providers.

  • Legal Authorities: When required by law or to comply with legal or regulatory requests.

We ensure that any third party with whom we share data adheres to strict confidentiality and data protection standards.

​

International Transfers of Data

Given the global nature of the crypto, web3, and DeFi industries, your personal data may be transferred to countries outside the UK or EEA. When this occurs, we take steps to ensure your data is protected in line with GDPR standards, using contractual agreements and other safeguards where necessary.

​

Data Retention

We only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. This typically means retaining data for the duration of our business relationship and, in some cases, for a period thereafter to comply with legal obligations. Factors that affect retention periods include:

  • Legal and contractual obligations

  • Our legitimate interests in retaining records

  • Statutory limitation periods

  • Any ongoing disputes or legal claims

Where data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted.

​

Your Rights Under Data Protection Laws

You have several rights regarding the personal data we hold about you:

  • Right to Access: Request details of the data we hold about you.

  • Right to Rectification: Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your data, provided no overriding legal or legitimate reasons exist for us to retain it.

  • Right to Object: Object to certain types of data processing, including direct marketing.

  • Right to Restrict Processing: Ask us to limit the processing of your data in specific circumstances.

  • Right to Data Portability: Request the transfer of your data to another service provider.

  • Right to Withdraw Consent: If you have given consent for processing, you may withdraw it at any time.

​

Data Security

We take data security seriously. To protect your personal data from loss, theft, or unauthorized access, we have implemented both technical and organizational measures, such as encryption, access controls, and regular data security reviews. In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by law.
