Delivering, maintaining, and improving our Services.

Responding to inquiries, providing customer support, and fulfilling contractual responsibilities.

GDPR and Your Rights
DevsBaseUK adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable, particularly for users in the EU/EEA. Depending on the context, we may act as either a data controller or data processor.
When we process personal data on behalf of clients (e.g., as part of candidate sourcing or hiring processes), we operate as a processor and defer to the data controller’s privacy policies. When handling data from our own website visitors, subscribers, or registered users, we act as a data controller and directly manage compliance.
Under GDPR, individuals have the right to:
-
Request access to personal data
-
Request correction or deletion
-
Restrict or object to processing
-
Request data portability
-
Lodge complaints with a relevant supervisory authority
We respect these rights and will respond to legitimate requests in accordance with legal timelines.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or data practices. When updates are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. Any significant changes will be communicated via our website or email.
We encourage all users to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.
