4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information we have collected about you in the following situations:

• With Potential Employers: If you are a candidate, we share your profile information, resume, interview results (if applicable), and application materials with companies using our Service whose job opportunities match your profile or to which you apply. This sharing is a core part of the Service.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when we have your explicit consent to do so.
• With Service Providers: We engage third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, data analytics, payment processing, email delivery, customer support). These service providers have access to your information only to perform these tasks and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency). We may also disclose information if we believe it's necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or as evidence in litigation.
• During Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.
• Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for industry analysis, demographic profiling, research, or other business purposes.

5. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We use encryption, access controls, and other security technologies. However, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed against interception or misuse. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. This includes retaining information needed to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Criteria used to determine retention periods include the duration of your relationship with us, the existence of legal obligations, and the necessity of the data for potential litigation. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period.
