H&H will keep your personal data for as long as needed to handle your request or for as long as we have a relationship with you. If you have applied for a role with H&H, H&H will keep your personal data associated with your application for a period of up to five years.
Please note that H&H is not responsible for any information you may disclose publicly in any chat rooms, message boards, or similar web pages, including those hosted on or linked to our Sites. You should keep in mind that, whenever you publicly disclose information about yourself online (for example, via message boards or chat rooms), such information could be collected and used by people whom you do not know. In addition, certain message boards and similar user forums may display IP addresses along with the message poster’s name and message. H&H bears no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any information users may disclose on the message boards, chat areas or other user forums, if any, on the Sites.

We may use cookies to keep track of your visit to our Sites, speed up navigation and improve your experience of the site, (for instance by remembering some of your preferences or choices, the last pages you visited or searches you carried out or by keeping you logged in).
Our Sites may use cookies such as Google Analytics to carry out some analytics on and enhance our Sites. These cookies help us understand, for example, how you use our Sites, which pages are the most visited or where people visiting our Sites are located.

Who we share your personal data with
We may share your personal data with others, such as:
- other offices in the H&H group – for a complete list of our offices, please refer to the Offices page of the hnhconsultancy.com website;

The companies of the H&H group and other third parties we share your information with may be located in other countries, including countries that do not offer the same protection to your personal data as the country in which you reside. Where that is the case, H&H ensures that your personal data is protected by using appropriate legal mechanisms.

The Sites may contain links to third party websites, including social network sites. Such websites are governed by their own terms of use and privacy policies, which you should review before browsing or submitting information to them. H&H is not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites. In addition, a link to a third party website does not mean that H&H endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content or the use of such web site. H&H shall not bear any liability and responsibility for such content or for your use of these websites.
Security of your personal data
H&H has implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures in order to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Such measures include anonymizing[2] or pseudonymizing[3] data where possible. Authorized H&H personnel and third parties mentioned above will only have access to your personal data to the extent they need it to do their job or provide their services. Despite these precautions, however, H&H cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your information.
Your Rights
Depending on where you reside, you may be entitled to certain rights regarding the personal data H&H holds about you. For instance, you may have the right to request access to your information, obtain a copy of it as well as information about how we use it. You have the right to request that we correct incorrect, inaccurate or out-of-date information about you. You may also have the right to request that we stop processing your information and/or withdraw your consent to such processing and to ask us to delete your information.

If you do not provide this information to us, we might not be able to process your application.
H&H will use this information to assess your application and candidacy for the position to which you have applied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this may include: (i) evaluating your skills and experience in relation to the qualification required for the job to which you have applied; and (ii) tracking feedback and interactions we have with you throughout the recruiting process. We may also use your information when analyzing our internal recruiting processes to determine (i) which recruit sources to focus on; (ii) how to improve integration and training programs for new hires with different educational backgrounds and work experience; and (iii) how to enhance our interview model to improve hiring quality. The information you provide may also be used to communicate with you about H&H events and to send you publications that we think may be of interest to you.
We might share your personal data with other companies in the H&H group as well as with third parties such as recruitment service providers, background check providers and IT system providers. These H&H companies and third parties might be located in a different country than your country of residence. In particular, if you apply for a consulting role, your data will be stored in a third party database hosted in the Sudan.
We will keep your application data for up to five years.

Definitions
1. Personal data is any information that relates to an individual who is identified or identifiable, for instance by reference to a name, an identification number or an online identifier.
2. Anonymizing means transforming data in such a way that it is no longer identifiable, i.e. the data can no longer be linked to an individual, even if combined with other information. Anonymous data is not considered “personal data”.
3. Pseudonymizing means transforming data in such a way that it is no longer identifiable without the use of additional information. Pseudonymous data is still considered “personal data”.
