Privacy Policy
Introduction
Nex Bloc is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our candidates, clients, and website visitors. This policy outlines how we collect, process, and protect your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. By interacting with our platform, you acknowledge the terms described herein.
What data we collect
We collect information that allows us to facilitate technical recruitment and expert matching in the Web3 ecosystem. This includes personal identifiers such as your name, email address, and contact details; professional data including resumes, GitHub handles, and work history; and sector-specific information such as public wallet addresses for verification and contribution mapping.
How we use your data
Your data is primarily processed to facilitate mission-critical placements between world-class talent and decentralized projects. This involves assessing candidate profiles, performing technical verifications, and managing communications regarding potential opportunities. We also use analytics to improve our system's performance and ensure a secure user experience.
Legal basis
In accordance with UK GDPR, we process your data based on 'Legitimate Interests'—specifically the facilitation of specialist recruitment services within the Web3 sector. Where necessary, such as for marketing communications or specific verification steps, we will request your explicit 'Consent', which can be withdrawn at any time.
Who we share data with
Candidate information is shared only with verified hiring partners, including Layer-1 protocols, DeFi platforms, and DAOs, to evaluate your suitability for mission-critical roles. We also utilize third-party technology providers for secure cloud storage and communication tools, all of whom are contractually bound to protect your data to our rigorous standards.
How long we keep your data
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. In many cases, we are required by UK law to retain certain financial or recruitment records for up to 6 years. Beyond these obligations, you may request the removal of your data from our active databases at any point.
Your rights
You maintain full control over your data. You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your information, as well as the right to data portability and to restrict processing. If you have concerns about our data practices, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Security
Security is part of our DNA. We implement robust technical and organizational measures, including end-to-end encryption and secure database access controls, to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or alteration of your personal information.
