Information Collection and Usage for Improvement

To refine our services and create a more customized user experience, we gather various types of data. This includes personal information such as your name, contact details, employment information, and other identifiers you provide. We also track how you interact with our platform, which includes the pages you visit, your search queries, and other user actions. This data is combined with information from third-party sources to better understand your preferences and deliver relevant content and features.

Furthermore, we may aggregate or anonymize your data to ensure it cannot be traced back to you. The de-identified or aggregated information may be utilized for research, marketing, and operational purposes.

Use of Aggregated Data and Legal Conditions

We collect and use "Aggregated Data" which is typically statistical or demographic in nature, for various purposes. This information is not considered Personal Information, as it does not allow us to identify any individual. For example, we could aggregate Usage Data to analyze the proportion of users who use a particular feature of our website.

There are times when we must collect Personal Information due to legal requirements or to fulfill a contractual obligation with you. If you fail to provide the required Personal Information, we may not be able to carry out the contract or provide the services we agreed to.

Data Collection Practices

We employ various methods to collect Personal Data about you, including:

Automatic Data Collection During Website Usage: While you navigate our website, we may automatically collect Personal and Non-Personal Data such as Technical and Usage Data about your device, browsing behavior, and interactions. This data is collected via cookies, server logs, and similar technologies. If you visit other websites utilizing our tracking technologies, we may gather Technical and Usage Data from those sites as well.
Third-Party Data Sources: We may receive Personal Data, such as Technical and Usage Data, from third-party services like analytics providers or advertising networks. For clients, we may enhance the Business Information you provide by obtaining additional information from external sources.
Handling Client-Requested Data: In specific cases, we are hired by clients to provide services on their behalf. In such situations, we handle Personal Data according to the client’s instructions and do not have a direct relationship with the individuals whose data we process.

If we are processing your Personal Data as a service provider and you wish to access, correct, or delete your data, or have any other requests, we will provide you with the contact details of the relevant client. However, we may assist you with your inquiry in certain exceptional cases.

Our Use of Your Personal Information

Your personal information is vital for the functionality of our services. Below is a breakdown of how we use your data:

This allows us to fulfill our service obligations. Without processing your data, we would be unable to provide you with the services you seek.
Responding to Inquiries and Feedback: We use your personal information to respond to your questions, concerns, or feedback. Whether you are seeking assistance or reporting an issue, processing your data helps us provide timely and effective support. Without this information, we cannot address your needs efficiently.

Sharing of Your Personal Information with Third-Party Entities

We may need to disclose your personal information to various third-party entities for business operations and related functions. This may involve sharing data with potential employers, external service providers, affiliates, legal representatives, and other necessary parties. Once your information is shared, the receiving entity is accountable for managing and protecting it in accordance with their own privacy practices. We may also be required to share your information to comply with legal obligations, to protect our or our user’s rights, or in situations involving corporate changes like mergers or acquisitions, where data could be transferred to other parties involved in the transition.

Your Data Privacy Rights and Options

Your rights with regard to your personal data may vary depending on your geographical location. These rights may grant you access to your personal data, the ability to correct or update any inaccurate or outdated information, the option to delete your data, or the choice to opt-out of certain uses of your personal data. Please be aware that these rights may be subject to limitations or exceptions based on the laws that apply in your region. If you would like to exercise these rights, you can contact us at admin@hiringsbay.com, and we will ensure a timely response in line with the applicable legal framework.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites, which are governed by their own privacy policies. We do not have control over the content, security, or privacy practices of these external sites. While we take reasonable measures to link only to websites that prioritize privacy, we cannot accept responsibility for the actions or privacy practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any linked third-party websites to fully understand how your data may be used.

Security Measures and Data Retention Practices

Our security program is carefully designed to protect your data from unauthorized access, modification, or destruction. We utilize a combination of technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to ensure the security of your information. While no data storage or transmission method is entirely risk-free, we strive to protect your data to the best of our ability. However, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

We will retain your information as long as necessary to fulfill our services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and uphold agreements. If necessary, we may retain cached or archived data for a specified period. Once your data is no longer needed, we are committed to securely deleting or anonymizing it in line with data retention best practices.

We may revise this Privacy Policy as needed, to reflect updates in our practices, legal obligations, or technological developments. Any changes will be communicated via the updated Privacy Policy on our service platform. We encourage you to review the policy periodically to stay informed of how we handle your data and to understand your privacy rights and available choices.
