Below are details regarding the use of your data. We want to assure you that we don’t collect your data without a legitimate reason, and we do not intend to sell it to others. We have never engaged in such practices, and we will not do so in the future.
In essence, we typically collect data for two primary reasons:
– To fulfill necessary purposes, such as ensuring the correct delivery of your orders.
– To improve our services, for instance, by gathering information on how you use our website to identify what is effective and what needs improvement.
Please rest assured that we always use your data in a lawful manner. Additionally, when it comes to receiving communications from us, we will always ask for your consent first, and you can opt out at any time by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link in our emails.
Furthermore, certain details, like your name, address, and phone number, are required for specific actions, such as purchasing our products. Without this information, we won’t be able to proceed with certain services.
It is also important to note that we may include links to other brands’ websites on our site. These brands may collect and use your data differently, so it is a good idea to review their privacy policy as well.
How we collect data from you
- Directly Provided Data: When you visit our website, register, or place an order, you provide data by filling in text boxes or clicking buttons. This information requires a direct action on your part.
- Voluntarily Provided Data: We also collect information when you complete customer surveys, provide feedback, contact us, or participate in competitions.
- User Authorized Data: With your permission, we may obtain data from other businesses.
- Data via Cookies: Our website collects data automatically, such as the type of internet browser you use and the pages you’ve visited. This is done through cookies.
Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior data. This information helps track visitor usage of the website and compile statistical reports on website activity. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or learn how to remove them; however, doing so may affect the functionality of some of our website features.
We only use your data in ways permitted by law. Most often, we use it because it’s necessary for our contract with you (each time you make a purchase); because we have a legitimate interest that isn’t overridden by your rights; or because it’s a legal obligation.
We will use your data only for the purposes we collected it for, unless we believe there’s another relevant use, such as confirming your order and then sending you a survey.
Data Sharing – For Valid Reasons Only
Sometimes, we need to share data with companies we work with to fulfill our responsibilities. For instance, we share information with courier services to ensure the delivery of your order. Be assured that we carefully choose our partners, working only with reputable, trustworthy companies that agree to use data legally.
Keeping your data secure
Safeguarding your information is of utmost importance to us. We take every possible measure to prevent loss, unauthorized access, misuse, changes, or data breaches. We also strive to protect your data from hacking or theft. In the unlikely event of a security breach that poses a risk to you, we will promptly inform you.
Recruitment privacy policy
If you’re applying for a job with us, much of the process aligns with the general data collection and use mentioned above. However, there are a few additional points to consider.
The information we collect about you includes:
- Your name, address, and contact details (including email and phone number).
- Qualifications, skills, experience, and employment history.
- Information gathered during interviews and phone screenings.
- Information about your current salary, including benefit entitlements.
- Details about your right to work in Jordan or in France or in any other location where Ala K. Design house opens a shop.
We may collect this information through various means, such as application forms, CVs, identity documents, interviews, or other assessment methods. Personal data from third parties, such as references from former employers, is collected only after we offer you a job.
The processing of personal data for recruitment purposes serves several functions, including:
- Managing the recruitment process, evaluating your suitability for a position, and selecting candidates for job offers.
- Communicating with you to answer your questions, schedule interviews, or provide updates on your application.
- Notifying you of relevant job opportunities if your current application is unsuccessful.
Who has access to your data
Internally, your data may be shared with various individuals involved in the recruitment process. This includes team members, interviewers, and managers.
We do not share your data with third parties unless you are offered a job and have provided your consent to contact former employers for references. In certain cases, data may be shared with regulators or to comply with the law.
Data retention for recruitment
If your job application is unsuccessful (including speculative applications for unavailable positions), your application data will be retained for up to one year. After this period, your data will be securely deleted or destroyed. Any identity documentation collected will be destroyed immediately if you are not offered a position with us.
If your job application is successful, personal data collected during the recruitment process will be transferred to your personnel file and securely maintained throughout your employment.
Your legal rights
You have specific legal rights related to your data. These include the right to request access, correction, deletion, or changes to your data. You can also opt out of our marketing communications, like our newsletter. Please contact us if you would like to exercise any of these rights. We may require proof of your identity before proceeding.
We aim to address your requests as promptly as possible, usually within one month. In some cases, processing may take longer.
If you wish to have your information or CV deleted or request a copy of the data we have about you, please contact us at team@alakdesignhouse.com. We may request proof of your identity before processing your request.
We are committed to equal opportunity employment and consider it an important principle.
