At Jobzhire, we value and respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you use our website and services. Whether you are an employer, recruiter, or job seeker, we are committed to ensuring that your information is handled in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner. By creating an account or using our platform, you acknowledge and agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
When you use Jobzhire, we collect information to provide better services and enable recruitment activities. For job seekers, this may include your name, email, phone number, location, resume/CV details, employment history, skills, education, profile picture, and any documents you choose to upload. For employers and HR representatives, we may collect your company name, industry, address, website, contact person details, and job postings.
In addition, when you access our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device details, operating system, and usage patterns. This helps us improve website performance and enhance the overall user experience. Cookies and similar technologies may also be used to personalize your browsing experience (see section 8).
2. How We Use Your Data
The personal data collected on Jobzhire is used primarily to connect job seekers with employers. We use this information to create and manage user accounts, allow job applications, enable employers to post vacancies, and facilitate communication between both parties. We may also use your data to send important updates, notify you of relevant job matches, or provide customer support when needed.
In addition, Jobzhire may analyze usage data to monitor website performance, detect fraud, and enhance user experience. We strictly use your data for recruitment and platform-related purposes only, and we do not sell your information to third parties.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
As Jobzhire operates in regions covered by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we ensure that your data is processed lawfully and fairly. We process your personal information based on several grounds:
Consent: When you voluntarily register, create a profile, or provide your details.
Contractual necessity: To deliver the services you request, such as applying for jobs or posting vacancies.
Legitimate interests: To operate, secure, and improve our platform, including fraud prevention and analytics.
Legal obligations: To comply with applicable laws, government requests, or court orders.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Data
Your personal information is shared only in limited circumstances. When you apply for a job, your profile and CV are made available to the relevant employer. Similarly, job seekers may view limited company details when browsing job postings. We may also share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in hosting, analytics, security, or communication.
Jobzhire may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or government authorities. However, we will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to advertisers or external parties for commercial gain.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide services and comply with legal obligations. For job seekers, your profile and CV remain active until you choose to delete your account. For employers, job postings and company details remain accessible until removed or deactivated.
If you request account deletion, we will remove your data from our systems unless retention is required by law (for example, financial or legal compliance records). Inactive accounts may also be periodically reviewed and deleted to ensure data minimization.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Jobzhire fully supports your rights under GDPR and other privacy regulations. You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, correct or update inaccurate information, and request deletion of your data (“Right to be Forgotten”). You may also restrict processing, object to the use of your information for marketing, or request that we transfer your data to another service provider.
If you previously consented to data use, you may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing already carried out. To exercise your rights, please contact us at the details provided in section 12.
7. Data Security
We take the security of your data very seriously. Jobzhire uses industry-standard measures such as SSL encryption, firewalls, secure servers, and access restrictions to safeguard information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. While we implement strict security protocols, no system is completely immune to risks. We therefore encourage users to take necessary precautions, including using strong passwords and keeping login credentials confidential.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Jobzhire uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies allow us to remember your login sessions, preferences, and improve navigation. They also help us analyze website traffic and performance using third-party services like Google Analytics.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of Jobzhire may not function properly without them. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
9. Children’s Privacy
Jobzhire is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that a user under 18 has provided data, we will promptly delete such information and may terminate the account. Parents or guardians who believe their child has submitted information should contact us immediately.
10. Third-Party Websites
Our platform may include links to external websites for your convenience. However, Jobzhire is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of third-party websites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external sites they visit before providing personal data.
11. Changes to this Policy
We may update or revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in law, technology, or our services. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Significant changes may also be communicated via email or platform notifications. Continued use of Jobzhire after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
