Privacy Policy

Last updated: Draft · Effective only upon legal approval.

1. Introduction

TalentHunters (“we”, “us”) operates a recruitment platform connecting job seekers with verified employers. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we handle and how. It applies to our website and services.

⚠ Pending legal review — Confirm the legal operating entity name, registration, and jurisdiction of establishment.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the platform, we may collect:

  • Account data — email address and authentication details (handled by our auth provider).
  • Profile data — name, headline, work experience, education, skills, languages, and links you add.
  • Documents — CVs/résumés and optional introduction videos you upload.
  • Application data — the jobs you apply to and the information submitted with each application.
  • Employer/company data — company details and verification documents submitted by employers.
  • Usage data — pages viewed and basic analytics (e.g. anonymous job-view counts), plus limited device/IP information used for security and abuse prevention.

3. How we use your information

  • To operate the platform — create your profile, submit applications, and let employers review candidates.
  • To verify employers and reduce fraud and abuse.
  • To send service communications (e.g. application updates, verification decisions).
  • To maintain security, prevent misuse, and comply with the law.

4. Legal basis for processing

⚠ Pending legal review — State the lawful bases (e.g. consent, contract, legitimate interests, legal obligation) applicable to your jurisdiction (e.g. Pakistan PDPB and, where relevant, GDPR).

5. How we share information

  • With employers — when you apply to a job, the employer receives your application and profile information.
  • Service providers — we use third parties to host data, authenticate users, store files, and send email. These providers process data on our behalf.
  • Legal/safety — where required by law or to protect users and the platform.

We do not sell your personal data.

⚠ Pending legal review — List the specific sub-processors (hosting, database/auth, storage, email) and confirm the “no sale” statement with counsel for each target jurisdiction.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We use strictly-necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to remember interface preferences, and limited analytics to understand usage. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

⚠ Pending legal review — Confirm the full cookie inventory and whether a consent banner / preference manager is required in your jurisdiction.

7. Data retention

⚠ Pending legal review — Define retention periods for accounts, applications, documents, and logs.

8. Your rights

You may access and update your profile at any time and request account deletion.

⚠ Pending legal review — Enumerate the applicable statutory rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection) and the request/verification process.

9. Data security

We protect data with encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls and row-level security on our database, private storage for sensitive files (such as CVs), and hardened HTTP security headers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

10. International data transfers

⚠ Pending legal review — Describe cross-border transfers (hosting/provider regions) and the safeguards relied upon.

11. Children’s privacy

The platform is intended for people seeking or offering employment and is not directed to children.

⚠ Pending legal review — Confirm the minimum age and any parental-consent requirements.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “last updated” date and, where appropriate, by notifying you.
