We may share your information in these situations:
- Employers: When you apply to a job, we share your application and profile data (e.g. resume, cover letter, answers) with that employer.
- Service providers: We use third parties for hosting, analytics, email, and support. They process data on our instructions and are bound by confidentiality.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing.
5. Data security and retention
5.1 Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure storage. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we encourage you to use a strong password and keep your account details confidential.
5.2 Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. After account closure or deletion request, we may retain certain data for a limited period for legal, security, or operational purposes. Where required by law (e.g. GDPR), we will delete or anonymise your data in accordance with your rights and our retention policy.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. In particular:
- EU/EEA/UK (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, and to object. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
- California (CCPA): You may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to delete it, and to opt out of "sale" (we do not sell personal information as defined there).
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact us page (e.g. privacy@recruitifier.com). We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
7. International transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions) where required by law for such transfers.
8. Children
