Applicant privacy
Your application is personal.
How we use information when you apply to NorthBlanc. Effective September 10, 2026.
Who handles your application
Northblanc (private) limited, Islamabad, Pakistan, processes applications for its own hiring. Contact contact@northblanc.org about your application, an accommodation, or a privacy request.
Information needed for hiring
We use your contact details, relevant experience, résumé, work samples, application answers, and interview notes to assess your suitability and communicate with you. Supply only information relevant to the role. Do not send national identity numbers, financial account information, health records, or other sensitive documents at the initial application stage.
How decisions are made
People review applications and make every hiring decision. Our own careers software reads your CV on NorthBlanc servers and scores it against the skills, experience, and questions published for that role, which orders a shortlist for our hiring team. That score is a ranking aid shown together with the reasons behind it. It is not sent to any third-party AI service, and it never rejects anyone: an answer outside what a role requires flags an application for a person to look at rather than declining it. You may ask how your application was assessed, ask a person to explain any screening result, and request a reasonable accommodation at the address above.
Purpose and legal basis
Where GDPR applies, recruiting generally involves steps at your request before an employment contract and our legitimate interest in selecting suitable candidates. Legal obligations may require certain records. Separate optional use, such as keeping an application for future roles, should be explained and agreed separately where required.
Access, hosting, and retention
Only authorized hiring staff and service providers supporting recruitment should access applications. Recruiting infrastructure may be hosted on AWS with Cloudflare providing network security, and our hiring team operates in Pakistan. Applicable international transfer requirements must be addressed for the applicant and processing concerned. We keep information for the hiring process and any necessary legal recordkeeping or dispute period; contact us for deletion or the retention period applicable to your application.
Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing, and complain to a data protection authority. Contact us using the address above. Withdrawing an application does not prevent retention that is required by law or necessary for a legitimate dispute.
