Privacy Policy

HiNT d.o.o offers consulting services that help you run your business more effectively and efficiently through individual, team and organizational development programs. As part of running those services we collect data about you and your business. This data is not only essential to run our services, but also critical for the safety of our services and all our users.

This Policy explains what information is collected, why it is collected, and how we use it.

This Policy applies to our domain (www.hint.rs) we operate.

Most of the personal data we collect is directly provided by our clients when they contract with us and use our services. Other data is collected by recording interactions with our services.

Account & Contact Data: When you visit our website to purchase one of our products (Shop), or to register to one of our open courses (Events) or fill in one of our contact forms (Contact us, RfQ or My HiNT Newsletter), or you simply register in order to participate in our Blog or Forum discussions, you voluntarily give us certain information. This typically includes your name, company name, email address, and sometimes your phone number, postal address (when an invoice is required), business sector and interest in working HiNT d.o.o.

When your company contracts us to deliver consulting and/or training services for your organization, any information you submit to us is your own and you can control it fully.

This data will often include personal information, for example: your list of employees who participate in the project/workshop, your contacts, billing address, etc. We only collect this information to successfully deliver our services, and you always retain ownership and full control on this data.

Authorized access to My HiNT Portal is enabled to eligible individuals from our clients/vendors organizations for easier orders and invoice processing, and is conducted by personalized invitation from our side. In these cases, when you register and account voluntarily or accept our invitation to register, we store username and personal password of the registered user.

We never record or store credit card information from our customers. All payments are processed via wire transfer from the clients’ company account to our bank account, based upon valid invoice.

Job Application Data: When you apply for a job on our website or via an employment agency, we usually collect your contact information (name, email, phone), and any information you choose to share with us, in your introduction letter and Curriculum Vitae. If we decide to send you a job proposition, we will also ask you to provide extra personal details, as required to fulfill our legal obligations and personnel management requirements.

We will not ask you to provide information that is not necessary for the recruitment process. In particular, we will never collect any information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership or sexual life.

Browser Data: When you visit our website and access our online services, we detect and store your browser language and geolocation, in order to customize your experience according to your country and preferred language. Our servers also passively record a summary of the information sent by your browser, for statistical, security and legal purposes: your IP address, the time and date of your visit, your browser version and platform, and the web page that referred you to our website.

Account & Contact Data: We use your contact information in order to provide our services, to answer your requests, and for billing and account management reasons. We may also use this information for marketing and communication purposes (our marketing messages always come with a way for you to opt-out at any time). We also use this data in aggregated/anonymized form in order to analyze service trends.

If you have registered to participate in an event published on our website, we may transfer your name, email address, phone number and company name to our local organizer and to the sponsors of the event, for both direct marketing purposes and in order to facilitate the preparations and booking for the event.

If you have expressed interest in using services HiNT d.o.o distributes, we may also transfer your name, email address, phone number and company name to one of our official Partners for the purpose of contacting you to offer their local assistance and services.

Job Application Data: We will only process this information for our recruitment process, in order to evaluate and follow-up with your application, and in the course of preparing your contract, if we decide to send you a job proposition. You may contact us at any time to request the deletion of your information.

Browser Data: This automatically recorded data is anonymously analyzed in order to maintain and improve our services. We will only correlate this data with your personal data when required by law or for security purposes, if you have violated our Privacy Policy.

Account & Contact Data: You have the right to access and update personal data. If you wish to permanently delete your account or personal information for a legitimate purpose, please contact us to request so. We will take all reasonable steps to permanently delete your personal information, except when we are required to keep it for legal reasons (typically, for administration, billing and tax reporting reasons).

Job Application Data: You may contact us at any time to request access, updates or deletion of your application information. The easiest way to do it is to reply to the last message you exchanged with our Human Resource personnel.

We realize how important and sensitive your personal data is, and we take a great number of measures to ensure that this information is securely processed, stored and preserved from data loss and unauthorized access. Remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

In order to support our operations, we rely on several Service Providers. They help us with various services such as payment processing, web audience analysis, cloud hosting, marketing and communication, etc.

Whenever we share data with these Service Providers, we make sure that they use it in compliance with Data Protection legislation, and that the processing they carry out for us is limited to our specific purpose and covered by a specific data processing contract.

Here is a list of the Service Providers we are currently using, why we use them, and what kind of data we share with them:

Service Provider	Purpose	Shared Data
Google Analytics  Privacy & Security	Anonymous website audience analysis	Shared with Google Analytics: Non-personal browser data, anonymized IP, geolocation info, language (no identifiable information)
Mailchimp Privacy Policy	Newsletter distribution	Shared with Mailchimp: First Name, Last name, Email address.
PDA International Privacy, GDPR, IT Security	Conducting Personal Development Analysis (Behavioral Assessment)	Shared with PDA International: First Name, Last name, Gender, Email address, Company name.

Account & Contact Data: we will only retain such data as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, as laid out in this policy, including any legal retention period, or as long as necessary to carry out a legitimate and reasonable promotion of our products and services.
Job Application Data: If we do not hire you, we may keep the information you provide for up to 2 years in order to contact you again for any new job proposition that may come up, unless you ask us not to do so. If we hire you, your personal information will be stored for the duration of your employment contract with us, and afterwards, during the applicable legal retention period that applies in the country where we employed you.
Browser Data: we will only retain this data for a short period of time, generally 2 months, unless we need to keep it in relation with a legitimate concern related to the security or performance of our services, or as required by law.
Safety Retention Period: 
As part of our Policy, we always try to preserve your data from accidental or malicious deletion. As a result, after we delete any of your personal information (Account & Contact Data) from our database upon request from you, it is not immediately deleted from our backup systems, which are secured and inalterable. The personal data could remain stored for up to 12 months in those backups, until they are automatically destroyed.
We commit not to use those backup copies of your deleted data for any purpose except for maintaining the integrity of our backups, unless you or the law require us to do so.

Except as explicitly mentioned above, we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties. We may share or disclose aggregated or de-identified information, for research purposes, or to discuss trends or statistics with third parties.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, in order to clarify it, or to comply with legal obligations. The "Last Updated" mention at the top of the policy indicates the last revision, which is also the effective date of those changes. If you continue to use our services after such a change, you agree to our updated policy.

If you have any questions about this Policy, please contact us.
