We respect individuals’ rights to privacy and to the protection of personal information. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain how we collect and use personal information in connection with our business.
We collect and process various categories of personal and confidential information when you set up your profile with us. We will limit the collection and processing to information necessary to achieve one or more legitimate purposes in the service we provide. Personal and confidential information may include: a) basic personal information, including name and address, contact details, availability for jobs and skills you may have for relevant jobs. In rare circumstances, we might be asked to provide information to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or government request.
When you interact with the Services getHiring provides, we collect the information based on the profile you create. For example, we collect the skills, availability and your location of your getHiring profile and messages and replies in chats you may engage in. All getHiring and replies are public and are publicly displayed. Please keep in mind that if you include information that could identify you in the chat or image of your getHiring profile, people who see it may determine your identity. We do not post chat messages publicly but, as with any message that you send via any service, the recipient might do so.
You may provide other information directly to us. For example, we may collect information when you fill out a form, update your account, interact with the Services, email our company, communicate with us via third-party social media sites, request customer support or otherwise communicate with us.

If you consent to the collection of location information (e.g. if you permit your mobile device to send us your latitude and longitude), we will collect and use this information both while you are directly using the Services and in the “background” (i.e. at times when you are not directly using the Services e.g. Pockets), so that we can tailor your interactions and experiences with the Services and to provide more relevant jobs opportunities or relevant candidates to you on our mobile applications. On occasions, our SOS adverts on getHiring may send you notifications of opportunities around you in real time.
