In certain instances, our clients hire ZipRecruiter to provide services on behalf of the client. In such case, we process Personal Data under the direction of that client (the data controller) and have no direct relationship with the individuals (data subjects) whose Personal Data we process.

When ZipRecruiter provides services in the capacity of a service provider, it acts under the instructions and at the direction of such client (i.e., the data controller).

Different retention periods apply for different types of Personal Data and in determining the appropriate retention period, we consider several criteria, including, but not limited to, the purpose for which we hold your Personal Data, our legal, accounting, reporting and/or regulatory obligations in relation to that Personal Data, (e.g., financial or tax reporting obligations), whether our relationship with you is ongoing (e.g., where you use more than one of our products and/or services), any specific request you may have made in relation to the deletion of your Personal Data, or where we have a legitimate interest in relation to the management of our own rights (e.g., the defense of any claims). In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

Once you no longer have a relationship with us, we will retain or securely delete or destroy your Personal Data subject to the foregoing and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.

C. Third Parties

We may receive Personal Data in the form of Technical Data and Usage Data about you from various third-parties such as analytics providers or advertising networks.

D. ZipRecruiter as a Data Processor

In certain instances, ZipRecruiter acts as a data processor to its clients and is provided Personal Data by such clients (i.e., the data controller). In such case, we process Personal Data under the direction of that client (the data controller) and have no direct relationship with the individuals (data subjects) whose Personal Data we process.

Where ZipRecruiter processes your Personal Data in the capacity of a data processor, and you seek access, or want to correct, amend, or delete your Personal Data, or have other requests, we will provide you with the data controller’s contact information, so you can contact them directly. In rare instances, however, circumstances may necessitate ZipRecruiter to assist you with your question or request.

For example, some clients hire ZipRecruiter to send job alert emails to job seekers who have requested job alert emails from such clients. In these cases, ZipRecruiter acts as a data processor to the client, who is the data controller. When ZipRecruiter provides services in the capacity of a data processor, it acts under the instructions and at the direction of such client (i.e., the data controller). In the foregoing example, if you are a job seeker who has requested job alert emails from one of our clients, the client will provide us certain Personal Data about you (such as your name, email address, the type of job you want, and your preferred geographic location) to ensure that the job alert emails meet your search criteria. If you have questions or requests about your Personal Data with respect to the job alert emails, we will provide you with the data controllers contact information so that you can contact the data controller directly.

Where we provide services in the capacity of a data processor, we may need to share your Personal Data with subprocessors that help us provide services to you on behalf of our data controller clients. Transfers to such subprocessor are addressed in the contracts we have with the subprocessors and the data controller clients that originally provided your Personal Data to us.

Personal Data that we process as a data processor is retained by us only for the duration required to service the data controller client, and/or in accordance with the instructions from such client, and/or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

6. WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH top

We do not allow our third-party data processors to use your Personal Data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions and this Privacy Policy.

A. Personal Data

We may share Personal Data with the following parties:

Internal Parties

  • Companies within our corporate family that comprise the ZipRecruiter Group. Access to your Personal Data will be controlled and only granted where necessary to provide our services to you and/or to allow us to perform any necessary or legitimate functions.

External Third-Parties

  • Service providers that we use to support our business and/or help provide our services to you, including, but not limited to, third-parties that host our Website, assist us to verify your identity, perform website and platform maintenance, risk assessments, and security, perform data and web analytics, provide databases, IT services, customer service, payment platforms and credit card processing, communication services, and email services.
  • Professional advisers such as lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, financial, auditing, and accounting services to us so we can operate our business.
  • Taxing authorities, such as the Internal Revenue Service and other authorities acting as processors based in the United States, the U.K. and other applicable countries, who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
  • Fraud prevention and identity verification services where we believe that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of ZipRecruiter, our customers or others. This includes exchanging information with third-parties for the purposes of fraud detection and prevention and credit risk reduction.
  • In connection with or during negotiations of any proposed or actual financing, merger, purchase, sale, sale or transfer of some or all of our assets or stock, joint venture, or any other type of financing, acquisition or business combination of our company(ies), or all or any portion of our assets, or transfer of all or a portion of our business to another company, including without limitation in the event of a divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other event, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding. In the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets or stock, Personal Data that we hold about our clients and users of our services will be one of the assets that will be transferred. If a change happens to our business, the new owners may only use your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  • Third parties, where you have expressly consented to the disclosure of your Personal Data.
  • Law enforcement agencies, courts, supervisory authorities, regulatory bodies and certain other third-parties, to the extent that we are permitted or required to do so by law, or in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, or in the interests of national security, or to respond to verified requests relating to a criminal investigation or alleged or suspected illegal activity.
  • To enforce our Terms of Use and other agreements with you, to respond to, and defend ourselves against, claims asserted against us, to protect the rights, property, or safety of ZipRecruiter, our services, customers or others, or to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or for debt collection.
  • If you are a job seeker and apply to a job posting on our Website, we will share your Personal Data with the prospective employer, and/or their agent of the job to which you applied, including but not limited to, any external Applicant Tracking System or any other external system used by the direct employer to manage the hiring of employees or other categories of workers.

    Please Note: Please ensure that the profile information and CV associated with your account is up-to-date, so when you apply for a job vacancy through a Job Seeker User Website, the employer receives your most recent CV. When you apply to a job vacancy, you will be given the option to use the CV saved in your account or upload a different CV before submitting the application. You can delete or replace your CV by going to (1) the ‘Profile’ settings in your account on the Job Seeker User Website; or (2) going to the ‘Account’ icon in the mobile app (if you are a mobile app user in the U.K.).

  • For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information to us on the Website, or otherwise with your express consent.
B. Non-Personal Data

7. WHERE YOUR DATA IS TRANSFERRED top

ZipRecruiter, Inc. is headquartered in the United States of America (USA).

The information that you provide or that we collect as a result of your interaction with the Website and/or your use of our services on the Website is transferred to the USA and/or to another country where we have a subsidiary or where we have engaged data processors or subprocessors. Some countries that are not located within the EU or U.K may be recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. For transfers from the EU or U.K to countries not considered as adequate by the European Commission, we have put in place measures, including by ensuring that the recipient is bound by EU Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your Personal Data, which can be found at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en. When we transfer Personal Data from the EU, U.K, or Switzerland to the USA, we also adhere to the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (“Privacy Shield”) and the Privacy Shield Principles, as described in our Privacy Shield certification, which you can find at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TNnuAAG&status=Active.

8. How long your data will be kept top

Different retention periods apply for different types of Personal Data and in determining the appropriate retention period, we consider several criteria, including, but not limited to, the purpose for which we hold your Personal Data, our legal, accounting, reporting and/or regulatory obligations in relation to that Personal Data, (e.g., financial or tax reporting obligations), whether our relationship with you is ongoing (e.g., where you use more than one of our products and/or services), any specific request you may have made in relation to the deletion of your Personal Data, or where we have a legitimate interest in relation to the management of our own rights (e.g., the defense of any claims). In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

Once you no longer have a relationship with us, we will retain or securely delete or destroy your Personal Data subject to the foregoing and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.

9. YOUR DATA SUBJECT ACCESS RIGHTS top

Data subjects in the EEA, Switzerland, and U.K. have the following rights with respect to their Personal Data:

YOUR RIGHTS

WHAT CAN YOU REQUEST

Right to Information

The right to know what Personal Data we hold about you and how we use it.

Right to Access

The right to be provided with a copy of your Personal Data (subject to certain restrictions).

Right of Rectification

The right to require us to correct any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Data we hold about you, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. If you have a user account with us, you also have the option of correcting your information directly in your account.

Right to erasure/be forgotten

This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure and in such circumstances, will notify our reasons to you.

Right to restrict processing

The right to require us to restrict processing of your Personal Data, i.e., you can request that we suspend the processing of your Personal Data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Right to request data portability

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party in a commonly used machine-readable format. Note, however, that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Right to object to processing

You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data in the following circumstances: (i) at any time to your Personal Data being processed for direct marketing (including profiling); or (ii) in certain other situations, to our continued processing of your Personal Data, e.g., our processing of your Personal Data when such processing is based on our legitimate interests. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Right to withdraw consent at any time

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated decision-making

The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. However, your right does not apply if: (i) you gave us your explicit consent to use your Personal Data to make our decision; (ii) we are allowed by law to make our decision; or (iii) our automated decision was necessary to enable us to enter into a contract with you.

“Post-mortem” Right (for data subjects residing in France)

This right allows you to define directives relating to the conservation, deletion, and communication of your personal data after your death, under the conditions provided for in Article 85 of Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 relating to information technology, files and freedoms as amended. In particular, you may register your specific directives - i.e. the directives indicating how your personal data relating to certain processing operations identified in the said directives are to be processed after your death - with us. You may revoke or change your instructions at any time. Compliance with the instructions is without prejudice to the provisions applicable to public records containing personal data.

Method for Requesting Information Pursuant to Your Rights

Upon request, ZipRecruiter will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information. If you would like to exercise any of the data subject access rights in the table above (each, an “Access Request”), please send an email to [email protected] and identify the specific website to which your request relates.

No Fee Usually Required

You will not usually be required to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances and, in such case, we will notify you within a reasonable timeframe regarding our reasons for refusing to act on your request.

What We May Need from You

Once we receive your Access Request, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

If we are not clear as to what you are requesting, we may also need to contact you for clarification so we can more fully respond to your request.

If we cannot locate any records about you, we may also ask you for additional information to assist us in locating records, if they exist.

Time Limit to Respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
