Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using our Site or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the terms described herein.

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We disclose personal data only under the following limited circumstances:
With Clients & Partner Organizations: For candidate applicants, relevant executive profile details and resumes are shared with client hotel management companies or property ownership groups strictly for recruitment evaluation and placement purposes.
Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., website hosting, CRM management, email delivery, secure document storage, or background checking partners). These providers are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.
Legal Obligations & Asset Protection: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Hospitality Talent Labs, our clients, or others.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, user and candidate data may be transferred as part of the transaction.
4. Data Confidentiality & Security
Due to the sensitive nature of executive search and talent strategy, confidentiality is central to our practice. We maintain reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
While we employ industry-standard security measures, no data transmission over the internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy—such as maintaining candidate pipelines for future search assignments or meeting legal, accounting, and reporting obligations—unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
