By using this service, you expressly accept all terms and conditions contained herein in full.

Service

BrighterMonday has always allowed job seekers to upload CVs to the platform for the purpose of job application and job matching.

In a bid to improve our services, BrighterMonday Kenya has partnered with WriteSea, a CV writing partner, that is committed to providing the best world class Curriculum Vitae writing services to job seekers. WriteSea is an organization that subcontracts a pool of writers to help you improve your Curriculum Vitae. This service requires account activation on the processor's website (WriteSea) to allow them to serve you properly by linking you to the relevant service.

Terms relating to the flow of information in services delivered:

  1. At the point of submitting your CV for a free CV review, this will be considered the “opt in” process whereby the processor will receive your CV as well as personal identifiable information within your BrighterMonday profile as listed in point 2.
  2. All personal information within your CV as well as identifiable information such as your name, email address, age, gender, and other items already shared with BrighterMonday will be subject to being shared with the processor, WriteSea.
  3. Any details shared on your CV will be accessible to the WriteSea organization as a processor and the CV writer as a sub-processor.
  4. Due to the nature of the partnership, we are required to share account opening details with the processors such as name and email address. The information shared is strictly for account activation purposes and communication, and can only be used for any other purpose when you consent to it.
  5. Upon CV rewrite package collection and payment, your CV will be re-written by a sub-contracted CV writer. This writer will engage with you within the WriteSea platform.

Data protection

  1. WriteSea is GDPR compliant and will treat your personal identifiable information with confidentiality. WriteSea will endeavour to ensure all personally identifiable information is treated in accordance with local jurisdiction laws. You will not be contacted outside for any purpose outside of fulfilling CV rewrite means by WriteSea.
  2. By using the CV writing services you give consent to BrighterMonday to share your profile and CV details with WriteSea and its sub-processor.

Data processing

  1. The collection of the User personal data is necessary, as any refusal to provide such data does not allow BrighterMonday or WriteSea to manage and provide the services requested.
  2. With particular reference to the purposes of carrying out aggregated analysis and pursuing WriteSea’s interests, instead, the legal basis of the processing is the “legitimate interest” of BrighterMonday, WriteSea and its clients: in this cases, although the collection of the personal data is not mandatorily required by the law or essential for providing the service to the job seeker, it is in any case necessary as such data are strictly connected with the above legitimate interests, which does not override interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the job seekers. Any refusal to provide such data, therefore, could entail the impossibility for WriteSea to provide the services requested.
  3. Finally, in relation to the purpose of legal obligations, the job seeker’s prior consent is not needed as such processing will be carried out for the fulfilling of a contractual obligation; therefore, any refusal to provide such data entail the impossibility to obtain the service requested from WriteSea and BrighterMonday.

Communication of the data and access to the data

  1. The personal data provided by the job seeker as well those data collected by the Site in the context of the relevant services provided (e.g. IP addresses) will not be disseminated but may be communicated, also outside Kenya, only for purposes and with the modalities illustrated above, to the following categories of parties:
  2. Collaborators, consultants or self-employed professionals to which WriteSea collaborates for carrying out technical or organizational activities (such as CV services providers) or with which WriteSea works for the purpose of providing its services or carrying out marketing activities.
  3. The persons and entities indicated above will process the data in their capacity as independent data controllers pursuant to the applicable laws, as Data Processors or sub processors. The list of the names of the subjects to which the data are or may be communicated is available at WriteSea.
