Privacy Policy

Information We Gather and How It’s Used

We collect and process various types of user data to optimize our platform and offer a tailored experience. This information includes your name, contact details, professional background, and any other personal data you voluntarily share. Additionally, we track your interactions with our platform, including visited pages, search history, and activity patterns. By integrating this information with third-party data, we enhance service quality, present personalized content, and gain a deeper understanding of user preferences. This de-identified data is utilized for research, marketing, and business development.

Data Insights and Service Limitations

We gather and process “Aggregated Data” which includes statistical and demographic trends utilized for business insights and improvements. While this data might originate from Personal Information, it does not meet the criteria for Personal Information, as it neither directly nor indirectly identifies any individual. For instance, we might assess Usage Patterns in aggregate to determine the percentage of users engaging with specific features of our platform.

If the submission of Personal Information is legally mandated or required under contractual terms, refusal to provide it upon request may hinder our ability to initiate or maintain an agreement with you. As a result, we may have to discontinue or deny services if the necessary information is not supplied, as adherence to such requirements is an integral aspect of our service terms.

How We Collect and Process Personal Data

We collect Personal Data through various means, including:

  • Automated Tracking Mechanisms: While you engage with our platform, we automatically record Technical and Usage Data such as device specifications, browsing behavior, and interaction metrics. This data is captured through cookies, server logs, and tracking tools. Visiting other websites that utilize our cookies may also result in additional Technical and Usage Data being collected.
  • Third-Party Data Contributions: We may obtain Technical and Usage Data from analytics services and external data providers. If you are a client, your Business Information may be enriched with additional insights from verified sources. We may also collect publicly available Business and Contact Data regarding non-users.
  • Client-Directed Data Processing: Some of our clients entrust us with managing Personal Data on their behalf. In these instances, we process information strictly under their instructions and do not maintain a direct relationship with the individuals concerned. If you wish to update or remove such data, we will direct you to the client responsible or facilitate the request when possible.

Managing Your Data with Transparency

We collect and manage personal data to provide, secure, and enhance our Services. Here’s how your data is utilized:

  • Your data is integral to delivering the requested Services, sometimes requiring collaboration with partners. Without this, service delivery is compromised.
  • We process your information to respond to inquiries and offer support. Without this, resolving concerns effectively may be challenging.
  • To maintain a secure environment, we monitor activity, enforce policies, and ensure regulatory compliance.
  • We work to prevent fraudulent activities, authenticate users, and strengthen security protocols. Without this, overall safety cannot be assured.
  • Our Services include customized features powered by cookies and tracking technologies. Visit our Cookie Policy for more details. Without this, some functionalities may be restricted.

We remain committed to transparency. If data usage changes, we will notify you and offer control options. Opting out may affect access to certain features.

Data Access and Disclosure Guidelines

To support our business functions, we may share your information with carefully chosen recipients, including employers seeking candidates, external vendors, business collaborators, and legal authorities. These parties must comply with their own privacy guidelines and relevant legal requirements when processing your data. Additionally, we may disclose information when legally obligated, to assert our legal rights, to ensure user safety, or during corporate changes such as acquisitions, mergers, or strategic restructuring.

Privacy Rights, External Site Policies, and Access Criteria

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding how your personal data is handled. These rights may include accessing your information, updating inaccurate details, requesting data removal, and opting out of certain uses. However, these rights are governed by regional laws and regulatory limitations. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email us at support@applyhirezone.com. We will address your request as per the applicable legal standards.

External Website Links

We may provide links to external websites that operate independently from our services. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we do not oversee their security measures. Although we take care to link only to reputable sources, we advise reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party website before engaging with their services.

Ensuring Data Protection and Retention

Your privacy and security are paramount to us. We employ a multi-faceted security approach that includes physical, administrative, and technological safeguards to reduce risks associated with unauthorized access, data manipulation, or loss. While we are committed to upholding stringent security standards, it is important to acknowledge that no storage method is entirely foolproof.

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to deliver our services, meet legal and regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce policies.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy is subject to periodic updates to align with regulatory changes and best practices. We will post any revisions on our platform, ensuring transparency in how your data is collected and utilized. Reviewing this policy regularly will help you stay informed of any significant updates.

CCPA and Your Data Rights

California residents are entitled to privacy protections under the CCPA, which grants the right to access, request deletion, and control the sale of personal data. If you wish to exercise these rights, please reach out to us at support@applyhirezone.com.
