This policy applies when you visit CareerBridge, create an account, build a profile, post or apply for jobs, communicate through the platform, or contact our support team.
By using CareerBridge, you acknowledge that your information will be collected, used, stored, and shared as described in this policy and any feature-specific notices we provide.

Information Sharing
We share information only when needed to provide the service, comply with law, or protect users and CareerBridge.
Job seeker profiles and application materials may be shared with employers or recruiters when a user applies, expresses interest, or makes profile information visible for hiring purposes.
Employer and job information may be shown to job seekers, partners, service providers, or public visitors depending on visibility settings and product functionality.

Data Security
We use technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to protect personal information.
CareerBridge applies access controls, secure authentication practices, monitoring, and reasonable data protection measures designed to reduce unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. Users should keep passwords confidential, use strong credentials, and notify us promptly if they suspect unauthorized account access.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for service, legal, security, and operational purposes.
Retention periods vary based on account status, user activity, legal requirements, dispute resolution needs, security obligations, and whether the information is part of an active job post, application, message, or support case.
When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or restrict it according to our retention practices.
User Rights
Depending on your location and relationship with CareerBridge, you may have rights over your personal information.
- Access or receive a copy of certain personal information we maintain about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete account, profile, company, or application information.
- Request deletion or restriction of certain information, subject to legal, security, and operational limits.
- Object to or opt out of certain communications or processing activities where applicable.

Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy as CareerBridge changes or as legal and operational requirements evolve.
When updates are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users, such as changing the last updated date, showing an in-product notice, or sending an email.
Continuing to use CareerBridge after an updated policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the revised policy.
