How Ravenite handles professional data

Ravenite is a research engine used by executive search firms. When a search firm runs a mandate through Ravenite, our system identifies senior professionals whose public track record may fit a specific leadership role. If you've found this page, you may have learned that your professional profile appeared in a Ravenite search. Here is exactly what that means.

Who we are

Ravenite Inc., 1010 Sainte-Catherine St. West, Montreal, QC H3B 5L1, Canada. Privacy Officer: Victor Vatus — privacy@ravenite.com.

What data we process

Professional information only: name, current and past job titles, employers, employment dates, professional location (city/region), publicly stated skills and accomplishments, and links to the public sources where this information appears. We do not collect financial data, government identifiers, health information, or information about your private life, and we do not infer personality traits.

Where it comes from

Publicly available professional sources (such as public profiles, company websites, press releases, and news coverage) and licensed business-data providers. We do not access private accounts, and candidates do not apply through Ravenite.

Why we process it

To help executive search firms identify and evaluate potential candidates for senior leadership roles. Our legal basis under GDPR is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)): connecting qualified executives with relevant career opportunities, using only professional data, with human review by a trained search consultant before any outreach.

What we produce

Research briefs for the search firm running the mandate. Every factual claim in a brief is linked to its source. Briefs assess fit against role criteria defined by the search firm; they do not make hiring decisions, and no candidate is contacted or excluded without human review by a search professional.

Who receives it

Only the executive search firm that commissioned the specific search, for that search. We do not sell profiles, operate a public database, or share your information across clients.

How long we keep it

12 months from last processing, after which profile data is deleted or anonymized.

Your rights

You may at any time:

• Access — request a copy of everything we hold about you, with sources.
• Correct — dispute any inaccurate information; we will verify against sources and correct or delete it.
• Delete — request erasure of your profile.
• Opt out permanently — request suppression: your profile will never surface in any future Ravenite search, for any client.

Write to privacy@ravenite.com. We respond within 30 days. EU residents may also lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority (in France, the CNIL); Quebec residents with the Commission d'accès à l'information.

International transfers

Data is processed in Canada, which the European Commission recognizes as providing adequate protection for personal data transferred from the EU.
