International Data Transfers
Last Updated: May 8, 2026
Introvy supports globally distributed staffing. This page summarizes how personal data moves across borders and the legal mechanisms we rely on.
1. Why data crosses borders
- Customers (staffing firms) often employ recruiters in countries different from the candidates they recruit.
- Candidates may apply through Introvy from any country.
- Hiring companies may be in another country still.
- Our infrastructure (Supabase, Vercel, Render, Cloudflare, OpenAI) is hosted primarily in the United States.
2. Legal mechanisms we rely on
| Source jurisdiction | Mechanism | |---|---| | EU/EEA | Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2 controller→processor; Module 3 processor→sub‑processor) adopted by the European Commission, plus supplementary measures | | United Kingdom | UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the SCCs | | Switzerland | Swiss‑adapted SCCs | | California (CPRA) | "Service Provider" / "Contractor" terms in our DPA | | Other | Sector‑appropriate contractual safeguards |
3. Supplementary measures
- TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES‑256 at rest for stored media.
- Encryption keys held by infrastructure providers under their published key‑management practices; Introvy does not export bulk keys to third parties.
- Least‑privilege role‑based access controls; recruiter access scoped to org RLS in Supabase.
- Logging and alerting on access to candidate artifacts.
- Documented incident response and 72‑hour breach notification.
- Government access requests are reviewed by counsel; we challenge requests that lack proper legal basis where possible and notify affected Customers unless prohibited by law.
4. Data subject rights for cross‑border transfers
EU/UK/Swiss data subjects can:
- Request a copy of the relevant SCCs/IDTA at hello@introvy.ai.
- File a complaint with their local Data Protection Authority.
- Direct erasure or restriction requests to the Customer (controller) or to Introvy (processor); we will route appropriately.
5. Customer responsibilities for offshore teams
When a Customer authorizes recruiters in additional countries (e.g., India, the Philippines, LATAM, Eastern Europe) to access Candidate data inside Introvy:
- The Customer remains the controller and must complete its own onward‑transfer assessment (e.g., a Transfer Impact Assessment) where required by law.
- Introvy provides RLS, audit logging, and SCC‑backed processor terms to support the Customer.
- Customer must promptly remove offboarded team members.
