How We Collect and Use Your Data
We collect data to personalize your experience and deliver improved functionality. This includes identifiable information like your full name, email, phone number, and job-related content you provide. Alongside that, we analyze how you use our platform—tracking visited pages, searches conducted, and actions taken. We may also incorporate relevant data from external partners to develop a more accurate understanding of user needs. Your privacy remains important to us, so we may convert personal data into anonymous or aggregated formats. This process helps prevent any link between the data and your identity or device. We then use this non-identifiable data for internal research, marketing efforts, or operational improvements.
Requirements and Aggregated Data Collection
We also gather aggregated data, which refers to generalized information that does not identify individual users. This statistical or demographic data may be generated from personal details but cannot be used to identify you. For example, we may aggregate data on website usage to understand which features are most popular. In cases where personal data is required by law or for contractual obligations, failing to provide this information may prevent us from fulfilling our responsibilities. If this occurs, we may need to cancel the service you requested, and you agree that this is a necessary part of the service delivery process.
Methods for Collecting Your Data
We gather personal data using a variety of methods. As you browse our website, we automatically collect both personal and non-personal information, including details about your device, browsing behavior, and usage patterns. This data is collected via cookies, server logs, and other tracking technologies. If you visit other websites that use our cookies and tracking tools, we may also gather information about your interactions there. For more information, please check our "Cookies and Similar Technologies" section.
In addition to the data we collect directly, we may also obtain personal and technical information from third-party providers, such as analytics companies. If you are a client, we may gather additional business-related information from external sources to enhance the data you have provided. In some cases, we collect contact information about non-users from third-party sources.
When acting as a service provider for our clients, we process personal data based on their instructions, and we do not maintain direct relationships with the individuals whose data we handle. If you wish to access or modify your data, we will direct you to the client contact, but we may aid in some situations.
Purposes for Using Your Personal Data
We process your personal data for several important reasons, including:
Should we wish to use your data differently in the future, we will notify you. You will have the option to limit such use, though this could affect your ability to access certain services.
Sharing Your Personal Information
We may share your information with third parties to support business operations and comply with legal obligations. This may include sharing your data with potential employers, third-party providers, business affiliates, legal authorities, and other relevant parties. Any third party receiving your information is responsible for protecting it according to their own privacy policies.
Your information may also be disclosed if required by law, to protect our rights, or to ensure user safety. In the event of business transfers, such as mergers or acquisitions, your data may also be shared to facilitate the transaction.
While we ensure third parties handle your information responsibly, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external organizations to understand how your data is managed.

Security and Data Retention Practices
We have established a strong security program designed to protect your data from unauthorized access, modification, or destruction. This program includes a variety of technical, administrative, and physical protections. While we strive to secure your information, no data transmission or storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee complete security. We retain your personal data as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We may also keep cached or archived data for a specific time frame.
