Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how [LEGAL COMPANY NAME], operating FDE Jobs, collects and uses information when you browse jobs, create an account, publish a profile or job, upload a resume, or apply for a role.

It covers information handled by FDE Jobs. An employer or external application website may handle your information under its own privacy policy.

Depending on how you use FDE Jobs, we may collect:

• Account information: name, email, account role, password hash, session information, and account timestamps.
• Candidate information: profile details, location, skills, experience, education, desired role, salary preference, remote preference, professional links, profile image, resume files, and visibility settings.
• Employer information: title, phone number, company details, company logo, and account-to-company relationships.
• Job and application information: job posts, saved jobs, selected resume, application message, status, timestamps, and employer application notes.
• Feedback: feedback category, message, optional page or feature reference, and the account that submitted it.
• Technical information: IP address, browser or device details, requested pages, request time, authentication state, and operational or security logs.
• Alert preferences: email address, frequency, status, and subscription timestamps when job alerts are requested.

Passwords are stored as cryptographic hashes, not as plain text.

We use information to:

• create, authenticate, manage, and secure accounts;
• provide job search, saved jobs, profiles, resumes, job posts, and applications;
• connect employers with job seekers who choose to make a talent profile discoverable;
• display application information to the relevant candidate and employer;
• collect, organize, classify, and maintain public job listings;
• operate, troubleshoot, protect, and improve the service;
• prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access; and
• receive, review, and act on product feedback; and
• send service-related messages and requested job alerts when those features are available.

Private account information. Email addresses, password hashes, authentication tokens, and session records are not intended to be public.

Talent profiles. Profiles are private by default. If you enable discoverability, authenticated employers may search for and view the supported profile information you provide. If you separately enable a public preview, the Talent page may display your name, headline, general location, years of experience, desired role, remote preference, and selected skills.

Public talent previews. Public previews do not include resumes, desired salary, contact information, social links, employment history, education, or profile biography. You can turn off the public preview or employer discoverability at any time.

Resumes and applications. Resume files are not publicly searchable. A selected resume and application details are available to you, authorized administrators, and employers connected to the job you applied to.

Jobs and companies. Published jobs and their associated company information are public and may appear in search results, feeds, or shared links.

FDE Jobs may collect publicly available job information from company career pages, structured data, public interfaces, and applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workable.

We may store and display the job title, company, location, remote status, description, requirements, compensation, job URL, application URL, publication date, source details, and other public job metadata.

Public job information may be normalized, classified, summarized, or checked for changes. Aggregated listings link to the original source, which should be treated as authoritative if information differs.

FDE Jobs currently uses two first-party cookies needed for authentication:

• fde_access_token, which normally lasts about 15 minutes; and
• fde_refresh_token, which normally lasts about 30 days and can be revoked.

These cookies are HTTP-only, use SameSite=Lax, and are marked Secure in production. The current application does not set advertising, cross-site tracking, or dedicated analytics cookies.

External job and application websites may use their own cookies.

We may share information:

• with employers when you apply or choose to make your talent profile discoverable;
• with service providers that host, store, secure, or operate the platform;
• when you direct us to share it;
• when required by law or needed to protect users, rights, and security; or
• as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate protections.

We do not state that FDE Jobs sells personal information. Employers may not use candidate information for unrelated advertising, resale, or lead generation.

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide and secure the service, keep required records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. The application does not currently define one fixed retention period for every type of data.

Users can update profile information and replace or delete individual resumes and images through available account features. Some information may remain temporarily in backups, logs, or records needed for security, legal compliance, or fraud prevention.

We use safeguards such as password hashing, signed access and refresh tokens, HTTP-only cookies, access controls, private resume storage, short-lived file links, and server-side authorization. No online service can guarantee complete security.

FDE Jobs may be accessed internationally. Information may be processed or stored in countries other than your own, where privacy laws may differ. Where required, the service operator should use appropriate legal and organizational safeguards for international transfers.

We may update this Policy when the service, providers, or legal requirements change. The date at the top will show the latest update.
