Information we collect
Sublimity Enterprises collects personal data within the scope of its business operations, including related to various client services. Additionally, we collect personal data in specific sections of the Sites when you engage in activities like registering for job opportunities via the Sublimity Enterprises Recruitment Portal, establishing a user profile, subscribing to Sublimity Enterprises newsletters and notifications, enrolling in conferences and events, or engaging in public user posting areas (such as bulletin boards, discussion forums, and surveys). The nature of the personal data collected may vary and can encompass details you furnish, such as your name, postal address, email address, phone number, fax number, and background information necessary for job applications.
Furthermore, we may automatically gather information regarding the devices you utilize to interact with our Sites. This automatically collected information could involve your IP address, device identifier, web browser, and browsing data obtained through the use of cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies, collectively known as "Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies." We may also automatically accumulate data about your interaction with the Sites, such as your search queries and viewed content. The automatically collected information may be linked to a unique identifier and, if applicable, to any other personal data you have provided.
In the course of our business activities, which include some client services, Sublimity Enterprises might also obtain personal data from third parties like data brokers or aggregators. This data may encompass demographic, professional, and publicly available online information, including details you opt to share on social media platforms and other public online forums. We may integrate this information with our existing records about you or utilize it independently for benchmarking and data analytics purposes. For instance, this may include analyzing recruitment practices within an industry or identifying patterns of fraud in financial transactions or monitoring foot traffic in retail environments. We always strive to ensure that the third party has furnished transparent information regarding the data's use, including its disclosure to entities like Sublimity Enterprises, in compliance with applicable laws.
