JobVista Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

At JobVista, privacy is a core product principle. We implement a "Privacy-by-Design" approach, ensuring that every feature—from automated matching to real-time interview simulations—is built with data minimization and user control at its heart.

As a global recruitment marketplace, we align our internal practices with international data protection standards. We act as a "data controller" for the information provided in your profile and as a "joint data controller" with employers when you proactively apply for their roles.

2. How We Collect Your Personal Information

We collect personal information through fair and lawful methods that maximize service value while minimizing intrusion into your privacy:

• Voluntary Submissions: Information you provide during registration, profile completion, or when using our communication forms.
• Interactive AI Applications: Text-based inputs and metadata processed during sessions in our AI Interview Studio or Career Coach.
• Employer Interactions: Data shared when employers manage applications, conduct Talent Search queries, or verify credentials via our platform.
• Automated Logging: Technical usage data captured as you navigate the platform, including performance metrics and session timestamps.
• Public Sources: Occasional professional information from recruitment partners or public career profiles to enrich our ecosystem.

3. Types of Personal Information We Collect

The information we collect is strictly utilized to facilitate professional connections and depends on your level of engagement:

• Identity & Authentication: Name, email, secure passwords, profile photos, and device identifiers.
• Professional Dossier: Resumes (PDF/Word), education history, skills, work experience, and career preferences.
• Verification Artifacts: Identity documents (JPG/PNG) used in our Verification Hub to prevent platform fraud and ensure authenticity.
• Technical Fingerprints: IP addresses, browser characteristics, operating systems, and approximate location data derived from network settings.

Important Note on AI Conversations: While using our AI Interview Studio, your microphone input is processed in real-time to generate a text-based experience. JobVista does not store voice recordings, biometric speech patterns, generated transcripts, or AI feedback suggestions in our persistent database. These data points are transient and are purged once your interactive session concludes.

4. Our Purposes for Handling Information

Every data point collected serves a specific purpose in facilitating professional connections and ensuring platform security:

• Service Delivery: Operating the marketplace, managing accounts, and fulfilling service-related communications.
• Intelligent Automation: Matching candidates with vacancies and generating tailored interview previews for career improvement.
• Platform Integrity: Managing platform features and ensuring the "JobVista Verified" status remains a credible signal for employers.
• Compliance: Meeting our internal security protocols and protecting the legal rights of our users against unauthorized intrusion.

5. Our Transparent AI Governance

JobVista maintains clear architectural boundaries to protect your sensitive data while providing advanced AI features.

Proprietary & Private Processing

Your resume and work history are processed within our Isolated Internal Infrastructure. This proprietary environment ensures that your sensitive professional history is never transmitted to external entities for public model training.

Transient Interactive Simulations

Features like our AI Interview Studio utilize authenticated external AI interfaces. These sessions are purely transient. Microphone data is streamed for real-time response generation and is not saved to our persistent storage. No record of the interview content or the resultant AI analysis is retained after you exit the tool.

6. Disclosure & Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Disclosure is limited to parties who assist in the recruitment process or help maintain platform operations.

Employer Visibility & Talent Search

JobVista uses a tiered visibility model. Employers browsing our talent pool only see redacted snapshots of expertise. Your full identity and contact details are only revealed if:

• You proactively apply for a vacancy at that organization.
• An employer uses our Talent Search tools to request a connection or "unlock" a direct communication channel with you, based on their subscription credentials.

Professional Service Providers

We engage a limited number of trusted service providers to assist in delivering platform features. These categories include:

7. Data Security & Global Architecture

We maintain appropriate physical and technical safeguards to protect your data. Access to your personal data within our team is restricted to individuals who require it to maintain platform integrity, fulfill support requests, or manage recruitment technicalities.

Given our global infrastructure, information may be stored on secure servers located overseas (such as the US or Singapore). We securely destroy or de-identify personal information once it is no longer required for a valid business purpose.

8. Your Ownership & Rights

You remain the primary owner of your data and can exercise the following rights directly via your settings:

• Access & Rectify: Update or correct your professional information at any time via your dashboard.
• Right to Deletion: Request the permanent removal of your account and associated history.
• Opt-Out: Withdraw consent for non-essential communications or marketing messages.

9. Governance & Changes

As JobVista evolves, we will update our privacy practices to match. We encourage you to review this document periodically for any updates.
