Privacy Policy
What we collect when you use this website or write to us, why we hold it, and what you can ask us to do with it.

Who this policy covers
This policy applies to gemcongroup.com and to the enquiry, application and subscription forms on it. It is issued by Gemcon Group, House 44, Road 16 (27 Old), Dhanmondi, Dhaka-1209, Bangladesh, on behalf of itself and its operating companies.
Where an operating company runs its own service with its own sign-in — an online store, a customer account — that service publishes its own notice, and that notice governs it. This one covers the corporate website.
What we collect
We only ask for what a request actually needs, and we say what each field is for at the point we ask for it.
- When you send an enquiry: your name, email address, the subject you chose and your message.
- When you apply for a role: your name, email address, phone number, covering letter and the CV file you attach.
- When you subscribe: your email address and which page you subscribed from.
- Automatically, on every visit: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you opened and the site that referred you.
We do not ask for national identity numbers, financial details or health information anywhere on this website. If a form appears to request them, it is not ours — please tell us.
How we use it
Your information is used to answer you and to run the site — nothing else:
- To reply to your enquiry and route it to the division that can deal with it.
- To assess a job application and contact you about it.
- To send the newsletter you asked for, until you unsubscribe.
- To keep the site secure — rate limiting, spam filtering and abuse investigation.
- To understand, in aggregate, which pages are useful and which are not.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use your details to market unrelated products to you.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiries for two years, so we have a record of what was asked and answered. Job applications are held for one year after the vacancy closes unless you ask us to keep you on file for longer. Newsletter subscriptions are held until you unsubscribe. Server logs are rotated after ninety days.
Where we are required by law or by an audit obligation to keep something for longer, we keep only that record and only for as long as the obligation runs.
How we protect it
Traffic to this site is encrypted in transit. Access to submitted enquiries and applications is limited to named accounts, and every action on them is logged. Uploaded CVs are stored on private storage and are not publicly addressable.
No system is perfect. If we ever become aware of a breach that affects you, we will tell you what happened, what it means and what we are doing about it.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to:
- Tell you what information we hold about you.
- Correct anything that is wrong or out of date.
- Delete your information, where we are not required to keep it.
- Stop sending you the newsletter — every issue carries an unsubscribe link.
We answer requests within thirty days. We may ask you to confirm your identity first, so that we do not disclose someone else's information to the wrong person.
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes we update the date at the top of the page. If a change materially affects how we use information you have already given us, we will say so prominently rather than quietly amend the text.
How to contact us
Write to the Data Protection contact at info@gemcongroup.com, call +88 02 41020596-00, or post to House 44, Road 16 (27 Old), Dhanmondi, Dhaka-1209, Bangladesh.
If you are not satisfied with our answer, tell us — we would rather hear it from you than read it somewhere else.
