Dutech is committed to protecting personal information entrusted to us and to being transparent about how we collect, use, disclose, and protect that information.

This Privacy Policy explains how Dutech handles personal information collected through our website and related online interactions, including when you contact us, request information, create or use an account, subscribe to communications, conduct business with us, or submit information regarding professional opportunities.

Our website is intended for business, professional, technology, and employment-related interactions and is not directed to children.

1. Personal Information We Process and Why

Visiting our website does not necessarily require you to provide personal information. However, certain interactions with Dutech may require or result in the collection and processing of personal information.

The information we process depends on how you interact with us.

Business Inquiries and Relationships

When you contact Dutech, request information, discuss our services, or otherwise engage with us for business purposes, we may collect information such as your name, business contact information, company or organization, job title, telephone number, and the contents of your communications.

We use this information to respond to requests and inquiries, communicate about our capabilities and services, develop and manage business relationships, prepare proposals, provide requested services, and conduct normal business operations.

Website Accounts and Online Services

When you create or use an account or access authenticated functionality, we may process registration and account information, contact information, authentication information, and related technical or security information.

We use this information to establish and administer accounts, authenticate users, provide requested functionality, maintain account and security records, and protect our systems against unauthorized access or misuse.

Communications and Subscriptions

When you subscribe to newsletters, updates, or other communications, we may process your email address, country information, communication preferences, and related information.

We use this information to provide requested communications and manage subscriptions and preferences.

Website and Technical Information

When you use our website, our systems may receive technical information necessary to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, analyze, and secure the website. This may include information such as IP address, browser or device information, operating system, user-agent information, timestamps, requests, session information, and similar technical data.

Dutech uses cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, authentication, security, user sessions, preferences, website performance, analytics, and related operational purposes.

Dutech also uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use and interact with our website and to measure and improve website performance and effectiveness. Google Analytics may collect information about your device, browser, interactions with our website, and other usage information. Information collected through Google Analytics is processed in accordance with Google's applicable privacy practices and the configuration of the service used by Dutech.

Where applicable law requires notice, consent, or an opportunity to opt out of particular cookies or analytics technologies, Dutech will provide appropriate notices and choices. Additional information about cookies, analytics technologies, and available controls may be provided through our website or cookie settings.

Professional Opportunities

When you submit information concerning an employment, consulting, contract, or other professional opportunity, we may process information such as your contact details, resume or curriculum vitae, employment history, education, qualifications, skills, certifications, work-authorization information where relevant, and other information you choose to provide.

We may use this information to evaluate qualifications, communicate regarding opportunities, support recruiting and workforce-related activities, and comply with applicable business and legal requirements.

Additional information concerning the processing of candidate information may be provided through a separate Candidate Privacy Notice where appropriate.

Legal, Compliance, and Security Purposes

Dutech may process information when reasonably necessary to maintain business and compliance records, document acceptance of applicable policies, protect our systems and services, investigate suspected fraud or misuse, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, establish or defend legal rights, and protect Dutech, our customers, users, business partners, and others.

2. How Long We Keep Personal Information

Dutech retains personal information for no longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently processed, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, security, accounting, and business requirements.

Retention periods may therefore differ depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is processed.

For example, information may need to be retained to provide services, maintain accounts or business relationships, satisfy recordkeeping requirements, resolve disputes, protect against fraud or security threats, or establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, Dutech may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and our records-management practices.

3. Who Has Access to Personal Information

Access to personal information is limited to those who reasonably require it for legitimate business, operational, professional, security, or legal purposes.

Dutech Personnel

Authorized Dutech personnel may access personal information where reasonably necessary to perform their responsibilities and support Dutech's business operations. Access is subject to appropriate business needs and security controls.

Dutech's website and application database are hosted in the United States. Authorized Dutech personnel may access personal information from other locations where reasonably necessary to perform their responsibilities, subject to appropriate access controls and applicable legal requirements.

Customers and Business Partners

Dutech may provide relevant personal or professional information to customers, prospective customers, suppliers, partners, or other organizations where reasonably necessary to provide or support technology, consulting, professional, or workforce solutions.

Where an individual is being considered for a professional opportunity, relevant professional information may be provided to the customer or business partner associated with that opportunity.

Service Providers

Dutech may use third-party service providers to support functions such as hosting, infrastructure, security, communications, data storage, technology support, analytics, and other business operations.

Where such providers process personal information on Dutech's behalf, we seek to limit access to information reasonably necessary for the services being provided and to use appropriate contractual or other safeguards as required by applicable law.

Professional Advisers and Corporate Transactions

Personal information may be disclosed to attorneys, accountants, auditors, insurers, consultants, and other professional advisers where reasonably necessary.

Information may also be disclosed in connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, subject to applicable requirements.

Legal and Public Authorities

Dutech may disclose personal information where required or permitted by applicable law, regulation, legal process, litigation, or a valid request from a governmental, judicial, regulatory, or law-enforcement authority.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, investigate suspected fraud or security incidents, enforce agreements, or protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Dutech or others.

4. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you reside, the nature of your interaction with Dutech, and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of certain information, information regarding how personal information is processed or disclosed, or a portable copy of certain information.

Applicable law may also provide rights to object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, or exercise choices regarding certain uses or disclosures of personal information.

Certain U.S. state privacy laws may provide additional rights concerning activities legally defined as the sale or sharing of personal information or the use of personal information for targeted advertising.

Dutech does not sell personal information to third parties for monetary consideration. Where additional rights or choices concerning the sale, sharing, targeted advertising, cookies, analytics technologies, or other processing activities apply to Dutech under applicable law, we will provide and process those rights or choices as required.

Privacy rights may be subject to applicable exceptions, verification requirements, retention obligations, and other legal limitations. Dutech may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or authority before fulfilling certain requests.

Dutech will respond to verified privacy requests within the timeframes required by applicable law. Where permitted by law, additional time may be required depending on the nature or complexity of a request, and Dutech will provide any notice required in connection with such an extension.

Dutech will not unlawfully discriminate against an individual for exercising an applicable privacy right.

If you receive marketing or promotional communications from Dutech, you may opt out of future marketing communications through an unsubscribe mechanism provided in the communication, where available, or by contacting us. This does not prevent Dutech from sending necessary transactional, account, security, service-related, or other non-marketing communications.

5. How We Protect Personal Information

Dutech uses reasonable administrative, technical, physical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction, or misuse.

The safeguards used may vary based on the nature and sensitivity of the information, the systems involved, reasonably foreseeable risks, and applicable legal or contractual requirements.

No information system, Internet transmission, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, while Dutech takes reasonable measures designed to protect personal information, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

Dutech's website may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.

Third-party websites and services are governed by their own privacy practices and terms. Dutech is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties that we do not control.

We encourage you to review the applicable privacy notices before providing personal information to a third-party website or service.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Dutech may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The current version and its effective date will be made available on our website.

Where applicable law requires additional notice, consent, or another action in connection with a material change, Dutech will take appropriate steps.
