ZipRecruiter complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. ZipRecruiter has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) under the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. ZipRecruiter has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

ZipRecruiter is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, under the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and Swiss-U.S. DPF, and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf.

The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over ZipRecruiter’s compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF. In certain situations, ZipRecruiter may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, ZipRecruiter commits to refer unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF to TRUSTe, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States.

Before submitting any information, either in your resume or otherwise to a prospective employer or recruiter, please also review the section entitled “Interactions with Other Users; Scams, Confidentiality” contained in our Terms of Use.

4. HOW DATA IS COLLECTEDtop

We use different methods to collect Personal Data from and about you including, for example:

For more information regarding our use of Tracking Technologies, please refer to “Cookies and Similar Technologies” below.

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. If you are a Client, we may receive additional Business Information from third-party sources to supplement the Business Information you provide. For non-users, we may also receive Business Information and Contact Data from third-party sources.

D. ZipRecruiter as a Service Provider (Data Processor)

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.

Where ZipRecruiter processes your Personal Data in the capacity of a service provider (data processor), and you seek access, or want to correct, amend, or delete your Personal Data, or have other request, 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 assisting you with your question or request.

For example, some clients hire ZipRecruiter to send job alert emails to their job seekers who have requested job alert emails from such clients. In these cases, ZipRecruiter acts as a service provider (i.e., data processor) to the client, who is the data controller. 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). 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.

We will only use your Personal Data to provide services directly to you (in our capacity as a business/data controller) and/or to provide services to you on behalf of our clients (in our capacity as a service provider/data processor), except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or with your consent.

6. HOW WE SHARE OR DISCLOSE YOUR DATAtop

We require all third parties to respect the security of your Personal Data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers 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. Below we explain in more detail how ZipRecruiter shares or discloses your Personal Data outside of ZipRecruiter.

A. Disclosures of Personal Data at Your Direction

We disclose your Personal Data when you intentionally interact with third parties and when you direct us or intentionally use ZipRecruiter to share your Personal Data in connection with the services that we provide to you. For example:

  • If you are a job seeker, we will share your Personal Data as follows:
    • If you apply to a job posting on our Website, we will share your Identity Data and Contact 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 systems used by the direct employer to manage the hiring of employees or other categories of workers.
    • If you have opted-in to our Resume Database (where such feature is available), we will share your Identity Data and Contact Data with prospective employers, recruiters, and/or their agents or representative that are permitted to have access to the Resume Database. You can opt-out of your information being available in our Resume Database at any time by updating this preference on the My Profile tab of your Job Seeker account. However, if an entity has already accessed your Identity Data or Contact Data through the Resume Database or via the search results, and copied or otherwise saved your information prior to you opting-out, that entity will continue to have access to the information that was previously saved.
    • If you are invited to and choose to participate in a video call with a Client (“Video Intro”), your Identity Data and Contact Data will be shared with the employer that invited you to the call.
    • For any other purpose authorized by you when you provide us with the information or otherwise choose to participate in new features and functions available through the Services.

Please Note: Please ensure that the profile information and resume associated with your account is up-to-date, so when you apply for a job vacancy or participate in a Video Intro call through a ZipRecruiter Website, the employer receives your most recent resume and/or profile information. When you apply to a job vacancy using the “Apply Now” button, you will be given the option to use the resume saved to your profile or use a different resume before submitting the application. If you apply to a job using “1-Click Apply”, ZipRecruiter will automatically send the existing resume in your account. If you want to send a different resume, please replace the resume currently in your account before you use the “1-Click Apply” feature. You will have an account with ZipRecruiter if you opened an account yourself, signed up for job alerts, applied for a job on the ZipRecruiter website and/or when you ‘verify skills’ for another user. You can delete or replace your resume by going to the ‘Profile’ settings in your account. If you would like to change the resume you used to apply to a previous job posting, you can go to the “Applied Jobs” page in your ZipRecruiter account, and click “Replace Resume” to replace the resume used to apply to a particular job vacancy.

  • If you are a Client, we will share your Personal Data as follows:
    • If you invite job seekers to participate in a Video Intro call, your Identity Data and Business Information will be shared with the job seekers that are invited to the call.
    • If you authorize ZipRecruiter to send automated personalized invitations or other communications to candidates on your behalf, your Identity Data and Business Information will be shared with candidates that are invited to connect with you and/or apply to your job.
    • For any other purpose authorized by you when you provide us with the information or otherwise choose to participate in new features and functions available through the Services.
B. Disclosures of Personal Data for a Business Need or Other Purpose

We describe in detail below how ZipRecruiter may share or disclose Personal Data with third parties:

After you visit our Website and/or use our Services, you may receive targeted advertisements about ZipRecruiter when you visit other websites (i.e., social media sites, search engines or other websites that are unrelated to ZipRecruiter) (collectively, “Other Websites”). This happens because we use third-party vendors to provide you with information about our Services based upon your interactions with our Website. We also may place third-party cookies and other tracking technologies on our Website to track your interactions with ZipRecruiter ads placed on Other Websites.

These third-party vendors may additionally collect certain Personal Data about you through cookies and other tracking technologies (see our Cookie Policy for more information). These third-party vendors may work with additional downstream providers in their relationship network that assist the third-party vendor in providing the advertising services to us. When this information is disclosed by ZipRecruiter in the manner described above, it may constitute a “sale” or “use for targeted advertising” under applicable privacy laws.

  • Identity Data
  • Contact Data
  • Transaction Data

As a result, your Personal Data may be subject to data protection and other laws that may differ from your country of residence. Your Personal Data may be disclosed in response to inquiries or requests from governmental or regulatory authorities in the countries in which we and/or our service providers operate.

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.

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.

Right to opt out of sale/targeted advertising

You have the right to opt-out of the sales of your Personal Data or the processing of your Personal Data for purposes of targeted advertising. To submit an opt-out request, you (or your authorized representative) may visit our Notice of Right to Opt-Out page.

We welcome the opportunity to help you with any concern or questions you may have about the use of our services, and we will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

For residents located in Nevada: Nevada residents who wish to exercise their sale opt-out rights under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A may submit a request to this designated address: [email protected].  However, please know ZipRecruiter does not currently sell data triggering the opt-out requirements under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A.

What We May Need from You

Once we receive your Rights 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.

Using an Authorized Agent: If you are using an authorized agent to submit a Rights Request (where permitted by applicable law), the authorized agent must provide documentation or other proof indicating that they are authorized to act on your behalf. For requests to correct, access or delete, we may require you to verify your identity directly with us (for example, by emailing us directly from the email address associated with your user account), and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the Rights Request. If you are an authorized agent, you may make a request by emailing [email protected] and providing documentation or other proof indicating that you are authorized by the data subject to act on their behalf. The agent must provide documentation necessary (as determined in ZipRecruiter's discretion) to verify the agent has authority to act on the data subject’s behalf as required by applicable law.

Time Limit to Respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within the timeframes required under applicable law. Occasionally it may take us longer than the time period required under applicable law if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you as to the reason for the delay.

We may also receive Technical Data and Usage Data about you if you visit other websites employing our cookies and other Tracking Technologies (defined below). For more information regarding our use of Tracking Technologies, please refer to “Cookies and Similar Technologies” below.

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.

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.

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

If you would like to exercise any of the data subject access rights in the table above (each, a “Rights 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 Rights 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.

10. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES top

ZipRecruiter and third parties may use cookies or similar tracking technologies (e.g., pixels, beacons, scripts, etc.) (“Tracking Technologies”) to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users’ movements around the Website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level or via our cookie consent manager on the Website, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our Website or service. For more information about the types of cookies and Tracking Technologies that we, and certain third parties use, and why we use them, and how you can control these, please review our Cookie Policy.

We partner with third parties to either display advertising on our websites or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third-party partners may use cookies or similar technologies in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to opt out of any interest-based advertising click here or if located in the European Union click here. Please note that you will continue to receive generic ads.

We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our Mobile Software on your phone. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and the application from which your information was downloaded.

We use email pixels to track whether our marketing emails are opened so that we can understand the effectiveness of our email marketing campaigns. To analyze the effectiveness of pixels used in our email marketing campaigns, we will remove your email address from the process we undertake in connection with this analysis. If you wish to block email pixels, you will need to use the function offered by most email providers which prevents your emails from automatically loading images.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may send you push notifications from time-to-time in order to update you about any events or promotions that we may be running. If you no longer wish to receive these types of communications, you may turn them off at the device level. To ensure you receive proper notifications, we will need to collect certain information about your device such as operating system and user identification information.

11. DATA SECURITY top

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data we process about you.

However, no transmission of information via the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Data, you acknowledge that there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control and accordingly, the security, integrity and privacy of data exchanged between you and us through the Website cannot be guaranteed.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

The safety and security of your Personal Data also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.
