Privacy Policy

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.

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.
• Advertising data — on some public pages, Google sets or reads cookies and similar identifiers to show and measure ads (see section 6).

• 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.

⚠ 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).

• 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.
• Advertising — Google, our advertising provider, collects information through cookies and similar technologies when ads are shown (see section 6). We do not give Google your profile, CV, or application data.
• Legal/safety — where required by law or to protect users and the platform.

We do not sell your personal data for money. Some US state privacy laws treat the use of personal information for personalised advertising (such as Google’s advertising cookies, see section 6) as a “sale” or “sharing”; you can opt out as described in section 6.

⚠ 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.

We use strictly-necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to remember interface preferences, and Google Analytics to understand how the site is used.

Advertising. Some public pages (such as the homepage, job listings, and job and company pages) show ads served by Google through Google AdSense. We never show ads on sign-in, account, application, messaging, or admin pages. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the Internet. Ads are labelled “Advertisement”; we do not choose individual advertisers and an ad is not an endorsement or a job listing.

Your choices:

• Opt out of personalised advertising in Google’s My Ad Center, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we ask for your consent (through Google’s consent message) before advertising and analytics cookies are used, and you can change your choice at any time through the privacy settings link shown on the page.
• If you are in a US state whose privacy law gives you this right, a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link (provided by Google’s privacy message) is shown on the page; use it to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising.
• You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

⚠ Pending legal review — Confirm the full cookie inventory, the advertising and consent wording, and whether personalised advertising requires additional notices (e.g. US state privacy laws) in your target jurisdictions.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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