1Introduction

1.1  Who we are

Indicina is an innovative FinTech provider focused on digitized credit analytics solutions. We strongly believe that deeper analytics applied to the growing pools of data (financial transactions, mobile data, and social media data) can open up new revenue streams for customers and deepen overall financial inclusion. Our core products are Originate- a full-stack platform for lenders to digitize their credit value chain from loan origination to servicing.

Decide is a Financial Analytics API that provides in-depth analysis on financial transactions (bank statements) without relying on just the “generic keyword search method”. It applies Machine Learning techniques to help businesses determine the financial health of an applicant, in order to make informed decisions. Indicina was founded in late 2018 and is led by a managing director.

2.2 How we use the personal data we collect about you

We rely on your consent in processing your personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applicants allows us to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate’s suitability for employment and decide to whom to offer a job.

Where you have provided consent to our use of your data, you also have the unrestricted right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent means that we will stop processing the data that you had previously given us consent to use.

We do not disclose, sell or otherwise distribute your personal data to any third party. Indicina acts to protect your personal data and ensure that unauthorized individuals do not have access to your Information by using security measures to protect personal data.

2.4 How we protect your personal data

We take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data is kept secure including security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and the authority of a suspected data security breach where We are legally required to do so.

2.5 How long we keep your personal data

If your application for employment is unsuccessful, we will hold your data on file for a period of 12 (Twelve) months after the end of the relevant recruitment process. If you agree to allow us to keep your personal data on file, we will hold your data on file for a further 12 (Twelve) months for consideration for future employment opportunities.
