This policy explains how Kingbird collects and uses personal data, and the rights you have. We treat all personal information with the same discretion that defines our work.

Who we are

Kingbird AS (org. no. 858 302 242), Via Vika, Ruseløkkveien 34, 0251 Oslo, Norway, is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. Questions about privacy can be sent to tobias.thus@kingbird.no.

What we collect

• Enquiries: name, company, email, phone number and the content of your message when you contact us through this website or by email.
• Clients and business contacts: contact details and information needed to deliver and administer our services.
• Candidates in search assignments: contact details, career history, education, CV, interview notes, assessment results and references.
• Participants in assessment and development work: information shared in coaching, assessments and development programmes.

Why we use it, and the legal basis

• To respond to enquiries and maintain business relationships (legitimate interest).
• To deliver services agreed with our clients (performance of a contract).
• To identify and approach potential candidates for leadership roles (legitimate interest). You may object to this at any time.
• To carry out assessments, obtain references and share candidate information with a client, which we do only with the candidate’s knowledge and, where required, consent.
• To meet legal obligations, such as bookkeeping requirements.

Sharing

We never sell personal data. Candidate information is shared with a client only as part of an assignment and with the candidate’s knowledge. We use trusted service providers for IT, email and hosting, who process data on our behalf under data processing agreements. If data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected for. Enquiries are deleted when they are no longer needed, and candidate information is reviewed regularly and deleted or anonymised when it is no longer relevant.

Your rights

You have the right to request access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Contact us to exercise your rights. You may also lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).
