1. Introduction and Scope
Welcome to Haqen Dynamics ("we," "our," or "us"). As a premier provider of staffing, workforce solutions, and business consultancy services, we handle a significant amount of sensitive corporate, employee, and candidate data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we rigorously collect, utilize, process, transfer, and safeguard your personal and corporate data.
This policy applies to our clients, independent contractors, deployed consultants, job applicants, and visitors to our website. By engaging our consultancy services or applying for a position through us, you consent to the comprehensive data practices described herein.
2. Categories of Information We Collect
Due to the nature of human resources, recruitment, and consultancy operations, we collect detailed information, including:
- Client & Corporate Data: Company names, billing details, organizational structures, strategic business objectives, proprietary project requirements, and designated point-of-contact information (names, corporate emails, phone numbers).
- Candidate & Consultant Data: Resumes/CVs, employment history, educational background, professional certifications, references, and interview evaluations.
- Compliance & HR Data: Government-issued identification, background check results, right-to-work documentation, tax identification numbers, and payroll processing information (bank account details) required for staff deployment.
- Technical & Usage Data: IP addresses, browser types, interaction tracking, and log data collected automatically when navigating our web portals or client dashboards.
3. Purpose of Data Collection and Usage
We process your information exclusively to facilitate our staffing and consultancy operations. Specifically, your data is used to:
- Evaluate candidate qualifications and match consultants with specific client project requirements.
- Execute and manage employment contracts, vendor agreements, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
- Administer payroll, process international payments, and manage invoicing securely.
- Perform mandatory background checks, credential verification, and compliance screening as required by law and client mandates.
- Provide ongoing human resources support, performance management, and career development for deployed personnel.
- Protect our legal rights, investigate fraud, and enforce our non-solicitation and confidentiality agreements.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our consultancy. We never sell your data. We only share information under strict confidentiality agreements in the following scenarios:
- With Client Organizations: We share relevant candidate profiles, resumes, and background verification summaries with prospective clients to facilitate staffing placements and project deployments.
- With Third-Party Service Providers: We utilize trusted vendors for payroll processing, background verification, international payment gateways, and IT hosting. These vendors are legally bound to use your data solely for the contracted purpose.
- Legal and Regulatory Authorities: We will disclose information if compelled by law enforcement, subpoena, court order, or to comply with international labor and tax regulations.
5. Data Security and Confidentiality Protocols
We implement enterprise-grade security protocols to protect sensitive HR and corporate data against unauthorized access, alteration, or breach. Our security measures include:
- End-to-end encryption of all candidate files, financial data, and proprietary client project details.
- Strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensuring that our internal staff only access data necessary for their specific job functions.
- Mandatory Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) signed by all internal employees, contractors, and deployed consultants.
- Regular cybersecurity audits and penetration testing of our digital infrastructure.
6. Data Retention Policies
We retain personal and corporate data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Candidate data is kept on file to match against future opportunities unless a deletion request is received. Employment and financial records are retained for extended periods as mandated by international tax, labor, and corporate laws (typically 7 to 10 years depending on the jurisdiction).
7. International Data Transfers
As a global consultancy and staffing firm, we routinely deploy consultants across international borders. Consequently, personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside of your home jurisdiction. We ensure that all cross-border data transfers comply with applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR) through standard contractual clauses and robust security frameworks.

Subject to local regulations, you possess specific rights regarding your personal data:
- Access & Rectification: The right to request copies of your data and correct any inaccuracies.
- Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): The right to request the deletion of your personal data, subject to our overriding legal and compliance retention obligations.
- Restriction & Objection: The right to restrict or object to our processing of your data under certain conditions.
To exercise these rights, please submit a formal request to our Data Protection Officer.
9. Policy Updates
We continuously evaluate our privacy practices to adapt to new legal and technological standards. We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at our discretion. Significant changes will be communicated to active clients and deployed consultants via direct email communication.
