October 6, 2022 2022-10-27 10:52

Dooqod, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Dooqod, (“Dooqod Inc.”, “Dooqod” or “we”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy spells out how Dooqod collects, secures, uses and discloses personal information about you, and how you can exercise your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy applies to the 1 click Ops cloud platform services at app.dooqod.com (the “Services”) and the website at dooqod.com (the “Website”) which are owned and operated by Dooqod. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (e.g., name, email address, or phone number).

Remember that your use of our Services is at all times subject to the Terms of Use and the Master Subscription Agreement, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use or the Master Subscription Agreement. Note that the data controller of Personal Information collected through our Services is the Dooqod customer who has purchased out Services and the data controller of Personal Information collected through our website is Dooqod.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your Personal Information, please contact us at using the contact details provided below.

Services Privacy Policy

For the avoidance of doubt, this Services Privacy Policy does not apply to our customers, who manage the Personal Information they collect through our Services in accordance with their own privacy policies. Dooqod processes the Personal Information that is stored in our Services as a data processor on behalf of our customers and in accordance with their instructions (as defined in our customer agreements). For example, if you are invited to take an interview or you are invited to work through Dooqod workspaces by a prospective employer that is one of our customers, or participate to a group meeting via Dooqod meetings by a registered Dooqod user then your Personal Information will be automatically transferred to Dooqod. However, the prospective employer is the data controller and you should contact that entity directly with any questions you may have regarding its privacy policies or data processing practices, and if you want to modify your Personal Information, restrict its processing, or delete it from our Services.

What information does Dooqod collect or process?

Dooqod processes certain Personal Information input or uploaded into our Services by our customers’ employees, customers’ authorized agency members, and prospective employees, including name and email address.

Dooqod will use such Personal Information only as necessary to provide and deliver the Services to the customer, to prevent or address any service or technical issues, to respond to a customer’s support request, or for any other purpose provided for in the customer agreement, or in accordance with or as may be required by law.

Dooqod collects Personal Information you voluntarily provide to Dooqod (including Dooqod’s service providers or other parties who collect it on Dooqod’s behalf). For example, we collect Personal Information such as your name, email address, and third-party account credentials (such as your log-in credentials for Google or other third-party sites) when you register to use Dooqod Services.

How does Dooqod secure my information?

We take appropriate steps including technical and organizational measures to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your Personal Information, and to protect its loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Such measures include but not limited to:

  • the pseudonymization and encryption of Personal Information;
  • the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;
  • the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Information in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
  • a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.

How does Dooqod use my personal information?

Dooqod may access or use the Personal Information collected through the Services for a range of reasons, which may include:

  • To provide, operate, maintain and improve the Services;
  • To handle customer questions and support requests;
  • To manage Dooqod’s platform, system administration and security;
  • To aggregate data about the usage of the Service to analyze trends and optimize customers’ experience;
  • To communicate directly with you, including sending technical alerts, reports, updates, security notifications and other Service-related communications;
  • To carry out research and development to improve our products and services;
  • To investigate and prevent fraud, unauthorized access or use of Services, breaches of terms and policies, and other wrongful behavior;
  • To carry out other legitimate business purposes, as well as other lawful purposes about which Dooqod will notify you.

Will Dooqod ever disclose my information?

We do not sell or otherwise disclose Personal Information we collect or process in our Services, except as described in this Services Privacy Policy or as we disclose to you at the time this information is collected. As described in more detail below, we may disclose your Personal Information:

  • with our customers who specifically invited you to be a part of their technical interview processes. For example, if you are invited to take an assessment by a prospective employer that is one of our customers, your Personal Information can be shared with the particular customer of ours to ensure that they can match your result to your application. You may also directly manage the sharing preference of your certified assessment results at any time by updating the settings.
  • with our contracted service providers or third-party data sub-processors. We authorize these sub-processors to use the information only as necessary to assist Dooqod in providing the Services (for example, to provide system administration and hosting services, support ticketing, or to help to enhance security). We require these sub-processors by contract to safeguard the privacy and security of any Personal Information that they process on our behalf;
  • to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person;
  • to an acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets, provided that we inform such third parties that they must use your Personal Information only for the purposes disclosed in this Services Privacy Policy; and
  • to any other person with your consent to do so.

Our customers may choose to integrate their Dooqod accounts with other third party service providers. While we try to choose integration partners that share our standards for privacy, their websites and services are outside of our control and are not covered by this Services Privacy Policy, and we are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices.

How long does Dooqod retain my personal information?

We retain Personal Information we collect or process where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

Any Personal Information we process on behalf of our customers is retained in accordance with the timeframes set out in the relevant customer agreements.

What are my data protection rights?
