We design and enforce our internal policies with a focus on proactive and reactive risk management, security and privacy engineering, training and assessments. We take appropriate steps to address online security, physical security, risk of data loss and other such risks taking into consideration the risk represented by the processing and the nature of the data being protected. Also, we enforce strict controls regarding access to data bases that contain personal data, and limit this access to authorized persons with a justified need to access such information.

Your rights

Regarding access to your Personal Data, you will always have the rights as provided by applicable local law. For a copy of your personal information you will need to make a request in writing to our recruitment team.
There may be certain categories of information prescribed by applicable local law that Strategy Lens may lawfully withhold. This includes but is not limited to information relating to your performance and general conduct during your participation in all assessment and interview stages including the initial application assessment stage. Any and all information that has been generated during these stages is the property of Strategy Lens. At our discretion and following your explicit request we may provide further information regarding your performance in the form of feedback but only if we deem that such information does not pose a threat to our Intellectual Property rights.
At any time you have the right to request that the personal information that you directly provided prior to any processing by us be deleted. This request must be made directly to our recruitment team in writing or using the contact form provided on our Website, in the Contact Section. You may also revoke your consent or object to certain processing activities. Such a request however will render us unable to evaluate your fit for a role and therefore will terminate any participation you may have to our recruitment process as well as that of other members of the Rassias Ventures network of companies and our clients.
You will have no access and may not request copies in any form or substance of any assessment material that has been used during our recruitment activities.
