Who we are
Talverian is the trading name used by Saad Masud, who operates the business and is responsible for the personal information described here.
For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@talverian.com. For application updates, use talent@talverian.com. For general enquiries, use hello@talverian.com.
Business enquiries
We use your contact details, business information and related messages to contact you, understand your hiring requirements and assess whether Talverian is a fit. We do not treat an enquiry as permission to add you to a marketing list.
If you engage us, information needed to deliver that engagement is addressed in the relevant agreement and any additional privacy information provided at that stage.
Candidate applications
We collect the information you provide to review your application and assess suitable opportunities. This can include your CV, experience, location, working-hour preferences, availability, compensation expectations and remote-work setup. If you progress, we also collect interview notes and role-relevant assessment evidence. We explain employment or reference checks and seek your permission before contacting relevant people.
We use this information to review your application, match you with suitable opportunities and prepare a presentation profile for prospective clients. We ask for your consent to retain your application for future opportunities and to share the relevant profile and assessment material with a prospective client. Before a private introduction, we identify the client and explain what will be shared.
Please do not send identity documents, bank details, sensitive personal information or confidential employer records unless we explain a specific need and a suitable collection method.
Retention and your permission
With your consent, we retain your candidate application and associated assessment material for one year from submission to consider you for suitable opportunities that may arise. We ask for fresh consent before extending that period. You can withdraw consent or request deletion by emailing privacy@talverian.com.
If you do not wish to join the future-opportunities pool, tell us. We use your information for the current application and remove it when that review and any agreed introduction are complete, unless we need to keep specific records for an applicable legal obligation or a dispute. Any exception is limited to the information and period needed for that purpose.
We keep business-enquiry information while the enquiry and related follow-up remain active, then delete it when it is no longer needed, subject to applicable legal obligations. Separate engagement and payment records, where created, are kept for the period required for that engagement or by law.
We reconfirm candidate availability before relying on it for an introduction. Retaining a profile does not mean that availability remains current for a year.
Private introductions and future public profiles
Permission to share a profile privately with a prospective client does not give us permission to publish it on our website. If we introduce public talent cards in the future, we will request separate, optional consent for the specific profile and information to be displayed. Declining public display does not prevent you from being considered for private introductions.
A short introductory Loom video and permission to share it privately with the prospective client are required before we can present you for a role. We explain what to provide and identify who will receive it. You can decline, but we cannot put you forward without the video and permission for that private sharing. This does not authorise public display.
We ask separately before recording an interview. Candidate contact details, videos and internal assessment scores are not published on this website.
AI-assisted review
We may use company-controlled AI tools to organise application evidence and assist review. Human reviewers remain responsible for candidate progression and recommendations; we do not make final acceptance or rejection decisions solely through AI. Contact us to correct information or raise a concern about your review.
Who can access information
Information is available to people working on Talverian’s application review, introductions and enquiry handling, and to service providers supporting those activities, such as form collection, scheduling, email, file storage and AI-assisted review. Access is limited to what is needed for the relevant purpose.
The website links to Tally for enquiries and applications and to a booking journey using Calendly. These providers have their own privacy information. Candidate profiles are shared with prospective clients only with the permission described above. We may also disclose limited information when required by law or necessary to address a legal claim.
Our clients and service providers may operate in countries other than your own, so information may be processed internationally. Contact privacy@talverian.com for information about the providers and processing relevant to your application or enquiry.
Website technology
The website itself does not set advertising cookies, include third-party form embeds or run a visitor analytics script. Forms and booking services open through links; their own storage and privacy practices apply when you use them. Website hosting may process technical information such as IP addresses and request logs to deliver and secure the site.
If we add analytics or other technologies, we will update this policy to describe them and provide any required choices.
Your choices and requests
Email privacy@talverian.com to request access, correction or deletion, withdraw consent, or ask about how your information is used. Where consent is the basis for processing, withdrawing it does not change the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. We may ask for proportionate information to verify your identity.
Depending on the law that applies, you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing, receive information in a portable form, or complain to an appropriate data-protection authority. We handle requests within the applicable legal time limits.
Changes
We update this policy when our practices change. The date above identifies the latest version. A material change to consent-based use may require us to ask for your permission again.
