10. USER-SPECIFICIFIC TERMS

10.1 REGISTRATION

All Users must register to use the Services. A valid email address is required.  Users must review and accept the Terms of Use as well as the Privacy Policy before registering. Registration creates a legal relationship, governed by the present Terms of Use.

10.2 USERS’ VETTING

Once a User completes the registration process, the next step is to create their profile by entering the required information according to its status (jobseeker or employer). The respective templates have fields that are mandatory and others that are optional. For employers, job postings are published only after CRS  partners have confirmed the identity of the company and its valid registration. CRS does not vet jobseeker profiles. If a User edits or deletes its profile on the Website, this updated information goes through the same process.

10.3 DUTY OF TRUTH

The Users hereby guarantee to provide correct and true information on the website, particularly regarding the information disclosed on his/her/its profile. CRS is under no obligation to verify the information provided by the User and is not liable or accountable for any illegal content or wrongful information on the platform. If authentication of the information provided upon registration by the User is not possible or proved untrue during the vetting as stated in 10.2, CRS will not allow the posting of any job openings and also retains the right  to delete the profile of the User altogether.

10.4 PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

The personal data that Users share with the website in order to register for its Services follow the principles of data protection and the requirements of the applicable legislation.

Employers specifically, may only see limited profile data for certain job seekers who have applied for one of their posted jobs. This limited profile data DOES NOT include name, phone number, e-mail address, or address. For this processing, the Employer acts as a separate Data Controller and shall comply with the provisions of the applicable legislation. The Employer may process this data for limited time and exclusively for the purpose of the Services abiding by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. CRS is not responsible for the compliance of any Employer with the applicable data protection legislation and especially the GDPR.

10.5 PROFILE ERASURE

Users have the right to delete their accounts at any time. In case of deleting your profile, CRS will delete your information immediately. Back-up copies are retained in the database of the hosting provider for 90 days before being permanently deleted.
