1.Information we collect
HireGeneral may collect information that you provide directly when you create an account, build a job seeker profile, upload a resume, apply to a role, post a job, create a company profile, contact support, or otherwise use the platform.
This information may include your name, email address, phone number, location, work history, education history, skills, resume details, job preferences, company information, billing details, messages, support requests, and communication preferences.
2.Information from external sources
We may receive information from external sources, such as public professional profiles, social login providers, employer systems, application tracking tools, business partners, or publicly available sources.
We may use this information to help complete profiles, improve candidate recommendations, support employer recruiting workflows, verify company information, and improve the quality of the marketplace.
3.Information collected automatically
When you use HireGeneral, we may automatically collect information about your device, browser, IP address, pages viewed, searches performed, clicks, referring pages, approximate location, session activity, and interactions with job posts, profiles, messages, or employer tools.
We use essential cookies and operational logs to provide sessions, protect against fraud, troubleshoot failures, and operate the platform. With your permission, we may also use Vercel Analytics, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity to understand site usage and improve the service.
4.How we use your information
HireGeneral uses information to provide, maintain, personalize, secure, and improve the job marketplace and employer tools.
- Create and manage job seeker, employer, and recruiter accounts
- Support job applications, resumes, profiles, company pages, and job posts
- Recommend jobs, candidates, companies, and marketplace content
- Help employers manage hiring workflows and applicant activity
- Communicate account updates, service messages, support responses, and marketing preferences
- Analyze product performance, troubleshoot issues, prevent fraud, and protect platform security
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements
5.How we disclose information
We may disclose information when necessary to operate HireGeneral, provide requested services, support hiring activity, or comply with legal obligations.
- With the employer responsible for a role when a job seeker submits an application, including the application fields and resume selected for that application
- With entitled employers when a job seeker makes a profile public and discoverable in the candidate database; private profiles are not generally searchable by employers
- With job seekers when an employer publishes public job posts, company pages, or recruiter-facing information
- With service providers that help us operate hosting, analytics, security, payments, communications, customer support, and product functionality
- With business partners or integrations when you choose to connect third-party tools or services
- With authorities, courts, or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or platform integrity
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets
6.Personalized content, analytics, and advertising
Optional web analytics are not loaded until a visitor selects Accept analytics. Selecting Essential only keeps those tools disabled. Visitors can reopen Privacy choices and change that selection.
HireGeneral does not currently use the optional analytics tools for targeted advertising. Essential operational logs and session technologies remain necessary to provide and secure the service.
7.Your choices and rights
You can update profile information, change communication preferences, control candidate visibility, delete an uploaded resume, download a JSON export of your account data, or request account deletion through account settings.
Changing a profile from public to private prevents general candidate-database discovery, but it does not retract application materials already submitted to an employer. Resume access is provided through short-lived, server-authorized links.
An account-deletion request has a 14-day grace period during which it can be cancelled. After that period, HireGeneral removes or anonymizes covered account data and closes employer jobs. Active employer subscriptions are cancelled before final deletion.
Some information may be retained where necessary to provide services, complete transactions, protect security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.
8.Opt-out rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to opt out of certain disclosures of personal information that may be considered a sale, sharing, or processing for targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws.
If HireGeneral offers cookie settings or privacy controls, you may use those controls to manage analytics, advertising, and personalization preferences. If your browser sends a legally recognized opt-out signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we may honor that signal where required by law.
We do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
9.International visitors
HireGeneral is operated from the United States. If you access the platform from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate.
Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate legal bases for processing personal information, such as performing our services, complying with legal obligations, protecting legitimate business interests, or obtaining consent.
10.Data security
We use reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
These safeguards may include limiting access to personal information, using security policies and procedures, monitoring platform activity, and using technologies designed to protect information during transmission.
No internet-based service can guarantee complete security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for notifying us if you believe your account or information has been compromised.
11.Children under 16
HireGeneral is not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 16 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
12.Third-party links
HireGeneral may contain links to third-party websites, employer career pages, application systems, payment providers, or integrations. Information collected by those third parties is governed by their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.
For example, if you click an external apply link on a job post, the employer or third-party application system may collect information directly from you.
A current list of service providers that process information for HireGeneral is available on our Subprocessors page.
13.Retention of information
Our current operational schedule retains contact submissions for up to 12 months, read notifications for up to 180 days, and closed applications, inactive conversations, security audit events, and role audit events for up to 24 months, unless a shorter period is required or a legal, billing, fraud-prevention, dispute, or security hold applies.
Account deletion begins after the 14-day cancellation period. Application or billing information already provided to an employer or payment provider may also be retained independently by that recipient under its own obligations and privacy practices.
When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. Encrypted backup copies may remain inaccessible until the provider's rotating backup window expires. If a backup is restored, outstanding deletion records must be reapplied before the restored system serves users.
14.California privacy notice
If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under California privacy law, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, and receive information about certain categories of personal information we collect, use, disclose, sell, or share.
The categories of personal information HireGeneral may collect can include identifiers, contact information, account credentials, employment and education information, resume and application information, employer profile information, device information, usage data, general geolocation information, and communication records.
- We may use these categories to provide accounts, job applications, employer tools, candidate recommendations, customer support, analytics, security, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.
- We may disclose information to employers, job seekers, service providers, business partners, legal authorities, or other parties as described in this Privacy Policy.
- If HireGeneral uses advertising or analytics partners in a way considered a sale or sharing under California law, California residents may have the right to opt out.
15.Sensitive personal information
HireGeneral asks users not to include sensitive information in resumes, job applications, messages, or profile materials unless it is necessary for the hiring process and you choose to provide it.
Optional gender, ethnicity, veteran-status, and disability-status responses are not provided through employer candidate lists or the resume database and are not used for candidate search, ranking, matching, recommendations, applicant review, or hiring decisions.
Where we process sensitive information, we limit access and use it only for disclosed and permitted purposes, such as account security, authentication, service delivery, compliance, or other purposes allowed by applicable law.
16.Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting. Because there is not yet a uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, HireGeneral may not respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals.
Where required by applicable law, we may recognize legally required opt-out preference signals.
17.Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time because of changes to our services, legal requirements, business practices, or privacy controls.
If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the platform, by email, or by updating the effective date on this page. Your continued use of HireGeneral after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
