Privacy Policy

Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

To deliver a more tailored and efficient experience, Apply Spot Light collects both personal and usage-related information. Personal details may include your name, contact information, employment history, and other identifiers you provide when using our services. We also gather data on how you interact with our website such as pages visited, searches performed, and actions taken. This usage information helps us better understand your preferences and improve our offerings. At times, we combine the information we collect with insights from trusted third parties to ensure our services remain relevant and high-quality. When possible, we aggregate or de-identify this data so it can no longer be linked to you, allowing us to conduct research, enhance operations, and perform marketing analysis while safeguarding your privacy.

Aggregated and Statistical Data

Alongside personal information, Apply Spot Light collects and utilizes aggregated data broad demographic or statistical insights drawn from user activity. This type of data is stripped of all personal identifiers, meaning it cannot reveal your identity. For example, we may review overall usage trends to learn what percentage of visitors interact with a specific page or feature. Because it cannot be linked to an individual, aggregated data is not treated as personal information and may be used for lawful purposes such as analytics, research, or enhancing our services. If we require certain personal details to meet legal or contractual obligations and you choose not to provide them, some services may not be available. In such cases, we reserve the right to cancel or modify the services as needed.

How We Collect Your Personal Data

  • We gather Personal Data in several ways. While you browse our website, we may automatically capture both Personal and Non-Personal Data such as Technical and Usage details about your device, browsing activity, and interaction patterns. This information is collected through cookies, server logs, and comparable technologies. If you visit other websites that incorporate our tracking tools, we may obtain additional Technical and Usage Data from those sites.
  • We may also obtain Personal Data from trusted third-party sources, including analytics providers. For example, client Business Information may be enriched with data from these partners. In addition, we sometimes collect Business or Contact Data about individuals who are not direct users of our services.
  • When a client engages us to perform services on their behalf, we handle Personal Data strictly in accordance with their instructions and do not maintain a direct relationship with the individuals involved.
  • If you wish to access, correct, or delete your Personal Data, we will supply the relevant client contact details. In limited situations, we may assist you directly with such requests.

These recipients can include potential employers, trusted service providers, business partners, and legal or regulatory bodies. Each party receiving your data is responsible for handling it in line with their own privacy practices. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or user safety, or in the event of significant business changes such as mergers, acquisitions, or corporate reorganizations.

Data Protection and Storage

We employ technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to help protect your information against unauthorized access, modification, or loss. Although we follow industry-standard practices, no method of data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We retain your information only as long as needed to deliver our Services, meet legal or regulatory obligations, enforce agreements, or resolve disputes. Limited archived or cached copies may remain for a short time.
