This website is owned by BySix, Lda. This privacy notice explains how we use the personal information we collect about you.
Privacy Policy
BySix respects individual privacy and values the trust of its users, visitors, customers and partners with regard to the collection and use of their Personal Data.
“Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
BySix respects your preferences concerning the processing of the Personal Data it collects.
What information do we collect about you?
BySix is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We only access or collect information that you voluntarily provide by telephone, e‑mail, form, when you send us unsolicited applications, register on university job platforms, via references from employees or former employees, chat, when you enter into a contract with us (employment, provision of services or other), complete your customer form, or communicate with our customer‑support team or by any other direct contact.
We may use automated platforms to send newsletters, such as MailChimp, which guarantees compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation by allowing data to be deleted, accessed and edited simply and transparently.
Candidates
If you are a candidate, in order for us to identify and secure the best possible job and/or service opportunities for you, we need to process certain information about you. We only request information that is relevant to us, such as your name, age, contact details, education, employment history, emergency contact, immigration status, financial information (where financial background checks are required) and social‑security number (and, of course, you may choose to share other relevant information with us). Where appropriate, and in accordance with the law, we may also collect information regarding any criminal convictions.
Clients
If you are a BySix client, we need to collect and use information about you or one or more people in your company so that we can provide our services, deliver a comprehensive service and ensure our contractual relationship runs smoothly. In this context, we may request certain personal data such as the name, e‑mail address, position and contact number of employees who are relevant to the provision of services.
Suppliers
If you are a supplier, we need a small amount of personal information to make sure everything works properly. We need contact details for certain people in your company so that we can communicate with you, as well as other information such as your bank details so that we can pay you for the services you supply (where this forms part of the contractual provisions between us). We may also hold information that someone in your company has chosen to share with us.
We will use your information to respond to the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with third parties outside our organisation except where necessary to fulfil your request. Unless you instruct otherwise, we may contact you by e‑mail in the future to inform you about special offers, new products or services, or changes to this Privacy Policy.
Please do not send or share with BySix any sensitive personal information such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade‑union membership, genetic data, biometric data, health data, or data concerning sexual life or sexual orientation.
We may use and disclose your personal information solely to:
promote our services and/or products and send informative or promotional content;
ensure compliance with our Terms of Service and applicable law;
meet legal requirements, such as complying with court orders, information requests, valid summons or other appropriate legal mechanisms;
provide information to our representatives and advisers, such as lawyers and accountants, to help us meet legal and security requirements;
establish, exercise or defend legal claims, arbitration or judicial proceedings; and
transfer your information in the event of a sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, reorganisation or acquisition. In such a case we will notify you of the change by posting a notice on this site, and any subscriber will remain subject to our obligations under this Privacy Policy.

Purposes and legal grounds for processing your personal data
The purposes and legal grounds on which BySix processes your personal data depend on whether you are a candidate, customer or supplier.
Candidates
Your personal data may be collected and processed, in particular, for the following purposes:
Recruitment – recruitment activities for service provision or back‑office roles, such as search and selection. For service provision this involves approaching current and potential BySix clients to find an opportunity or assignment within BySix, as well as related activities. Payroll processing and Human‑Resources management are also included.
Contract execution – activities such as signing contracts with BySix and partners, and communicating with third parties involved in the contracts (insurance companies, beneficiaries, intermediaries).
Service development and improvement – activities required to develop and improve the services provided by BySix, activity analysis and processing for potential future opportunities.
Clients and suppliers
Your personal data may be collected and processed, in particular, for the following purposes:

Communications – contacting you in relation to our contracts.
Service development and improvement – activities required to develop and improve services provided to or by BySix, activity analysis, processing for statistical and scientific purposes, and to offer you services or seek support and services from you.
Compliance with legal obligations.
In certain circumstances, to assist us in the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Whenever we collect your personal data for the purposes described above, or for any other purpose, we will inform you in advance or at the time of collection and will seek your consent whenever this is necessary to legitimise the processing of your data. Where you have given your consent to processing activities, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
However, there are cases where your consent is not the legal basis for processing your personal data, but one of the following grounds:
processing is necessary for entering into a contract with you or for its performance;
processing is necessary for compliance with the legal obligations to which BySix is subject;
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by BySix that do not override your interests, rights and fundamental freedoms requiring the protection of personal data – this legal basis will be used only where there is no less intrusive way to process your data. If legitimate interest is used as the ground for processing, we will keep a record of that activity and you may request this information;
processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
