1. Introduction
sourzia
values
the trust our users and customers place in us when they give us access to their Personal Data. The Privacy Policy
describes
how we work to maintain that trust and protect that information.
In particular, this Privacy Policy details how we collect, use and disclose personal and non-personal
data
you give to us when you access or use the online and/or mobile services, mobile applications and websites, and software offered by sourzia and its related brands covered by this Privacy Policy, which include Engineerjobs, Careesma, Gigajob, HRTechPrivacy.com, Resume.com, RescueMyResumes.com, Resumeperfector.com, Workopolis and Wowjobs (collectively, “sourzia” or the “Sites”). sourzia may also obtain limited Personal Data from third-party sources.
Our core mission is to help people get jobs, and help employers
find
great candidates. Since each of our Affiliates (as
detailed
in section 3.1) shares this core mission, we developed a Privacy Center as a way of educating our users about our affiliates, and how we share data with them to provide the strongest product and service offerings to our users. You can find out more about how we share data between affiliates on our Privacy Center FAQ page.
1.1 The sourzia Entities Responsible for Your Information
This section determines which sourzia entity
acts
as the controller or processor of your Personal Data.
– sourzia as Controller
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “sourzia”, “we” or “us” means: sourzia, Inc. if you are located in the United States, except for users of sourzia Staff, then sourzia Staff LLC; and sourzia Ireland Operations Limited (“sourzia Ireland”) if you are located outside of the United States, except for users located in Japan, then sourzia Japan K.K.
sourzia is the controller of all Personal Data processed pursuant to this Privacy Policy, except as otherwise expressly stated below in this section 1.1.
Please also note that the contracting entity indicated in our Terms of Service may differ from the data controller indicated in this Privacy Policy.
– sourzia as Processor
sourzia offers certain hiring services to Employers where sourzia acts as a data processor, or similarly, under applicable data protection laws, and processes the personal data it collects from and about you only on the Employer’s behalf, subject to our Terms. This applies to our Candidate Import service, where we help Employers contact, interview and manage job applicants that do not apply through our Sites, and other service offerings that help Employers manage the hiring process. If such job applicants create/log into an sourzia account, sourzia may associate their personal data collected through these hiring services with their sourzia account based on the instructions by Employers. For example, if a Job Seeker creates/logs into an sourzia account, they may view, within their sourzia account, the history of the messages and interviews which took place between the Job Seeker and Employers
previously
interacted with by using these services. If you have any questions about sourzia’s processing of your personal data as part of these services, or to exercise any rights you may have with respect to such information, please contact the Employer to which you applied. sourzia may
also
act as a data processor on behalf of its affiliates (e.g. for billing purposes). The remainder of our processing activities covered by this Privacy Policy does not apply to Personal Data that we collect through these services.
1.2 Some Important Definitions
Personal data (“Personal Data”) refers to any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, and non-personal data (“Non-Personal Data”) refers to any information that does not identify a specific individual. Please note that at all times sourzia will adhere to the applicable statutory definition in determining what is and is not Personal Data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. Where this Privacy Policy refers to “information” or “your information” this may include both Personal and Non-Personal Data.
The Sites are made available for use by individuals searching for employment openings, or services or information related to their personal employment or job search (“Job Seekers”). Where applicable, the Sites may also be made available to individuals and/or organizations seeking information related to hiring or human resources or seeking to make available information regarding employment openings (“Job Listings” or “Job Ads”), on their behalf or other’s behalf, including but not limited to agencies purchasing for multiple parties (“Employers”).
sourzia allows Job Seekers to include a number of different application materials to Employers when they apply to a job. These can be found in the Profile section of your sourzia account, and include materials such as your resume, your assessment results and your answers to screener questions (“sourzia Profile”). When referring solely to your resume information, whether an sourzia resume or a resume that you upload yourself, this will be referred to simply as “resume”.
1.3 The Scope of sourzia’s Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy covers data that we collect through the Sites, or that we obtain from third parties. In cases where you follow a link to a third-party website, you are no longer covered by our Privacy Policy, and any data collection or processing activity that takes place on that website will be governed by that website’s own privacy policy. We only collect data on the Sites that display a direct link to this Privacy Policy.
Occasionally, we may refer to this Privacy Policy in notices on the Sites, including special purpose web pages or mobile applications, including invitations for you to submit ideas to improve the Sites. sourzia may amend this Privacy Policy at any time.
If you applied to a Job Listing, please consult the Job Listing for additional information applicable to you. Current and former sourzia employees should contact their human resources coordinators for applicable policies.

3. Who we share your data with
3.1 Sharing your information with our Affiliates
Our core mission is to help Job Seekers find great jobs, and Employers find great candidates, which is a mission we share with each of our affiliates. In order to support that mission, we share certain information with our affiliates. Such information sharing is governed by this Privacy Policy. We
also
developed the Privacy Center as a way of educating our users about our affiliates and how we share data with them to provide the strongest product and service offerings to our users. We encourage you to visit the Privacy Center to learn more.
Information shared by you with sourzia may be shared with an affiliated entity to provide you with services, to improve the Sites and optimize functionality on the Sites, and other purposes as described in this Policy. In particular, such sharing strengthens our ability to help Job Seekers find jobs and Employers
find
great candidates. The services
provided
to you and the functionality of the Sites could not be provided without such transfers. If you do not wish your information to be transferred in this way you should not use the Sites.
For the purposes of this Policy, “Affiliates” means any entity that directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control of or with an sourzia entity, now or in the future. “Control” for these purposes means having a majority of shares or the right and ability to direct management. This includes sourzia affiliated entities located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland.
Examples of our affiliates include: Glassdoor, SimplyHired, and sourzia Flex. Such data sharing with sourzia affiliates will be performed for a number of specific reasons, such as to increase the number of jobs available to Job Seekers and resumes available to Employers, and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Policies of those affiliates.
– Improved services
Data sharing with affiliates
provides
Job Seekers with more personalized and improved content, performance, features and services. For example, sourzia and its affiliates use your previous search and browsing history (e.g. the jobs you click on), IP address, or sourzia Profile information, to determine
relevant
search results, send Job Alerts and Invitations, display and moderate career insights, such as company reviews, Job Listing
salary
data, interview tips and more. Such sharing is also performed to facilitate improved data analysis, testing, research, and service improvement.
This sharing
also
allows Employers to have better insight into the performance of their Job Listings. For example, we may share data related to user clicks on their Job Listings which in turn allows Employers to understand the extent to which they are attracting candidates. By providing Employers with the information they need to better utilize our platform, they can provide stronger Job Listings.
– More Employers, more Job Listings and more Job Seekers
Such data sharing allows Job Seekers to access an even broader database of Job Listings and Employers, and for Employers to access more Job Seekers. For example, sourzia can show you Job Listings that have been posted on our Affiliates’ websites or a Job Seeker from an Affiliate can be recommended as a candidate for an Affiliate’s Job Listing. sourzia and its Affiliates also share Employer
data
(such as account information and behavioral data) to provide a better experience to those Employers.
sourzia may process billing information on behalf of Affiliates. If you are using a chargeable service, sourzia and its Affiliates may share billing information solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment, and servicing your account.
– Better security for users
Such data sharing allows sourzia and our affiliates to process your Personal Data for the purpose of improving user security and internal operations, troubleshooting, and detecting and preventing fraud and spam.
3.2 Transfers of information to Employers
sourzia sends Job Seeker Personal Data to Employers on the instruction of Job Seekers. Such transfers are performed in the course of the job search, application and interview process. This is further described in section 2 of this Privacy Policy. Such Personal Data will be processed in accordance with these terms and those of the relevant Employer. Job Seekers that apply to jobs through sourzia that are outside their own country may involve sending their Personal Data to countries with lower levels of data protection.
Employer account holders agree to comply with all their responsibilities under applicable data protection rules with respect to the collection, processing and storage of Personal Data, as well as providing adequate protection of all data subject rights provided for under all applicable data protection rules.
3.3 Transfers of information to Job Seekers
sourzia sends certain Employer-related information to Job Seekers. This includes publishing Job Ads, Company Pages, and
salary
information on the Sites and publishing Job Listings on third-party websites. sourzia may also provide information to Job Seekers about an Employer’s activity and responsiveness on the Sites in order to help Job Seekers evaluate employment opportunities. This may include the Employer representative’s name, the Employer’s city/state location, whether the Employer has taken or has chosen not to take an action with regard to the Job Seeker’s resume or application such as opening, viewing, responding to or making a decision in regard to it, whether the Employer has engaged with other Job Seekers or viewed other Job Seekers’ resumes, and whether the Employer has taken an action in regard to a Job Listing such as pausing or closing it. As an Employer, when you use the Sites (for example by posting a Job Listing or contacting a Job Seeker through the sourzia Resume Program) you agree that sourzia may provide this information to Job Seekers.
3.4 Transfers of information to service providers
We may use third parties to perform services in connection with our operations, to improve the Sites and our services, products, and features, to protect our users and better understand their needs, and to optimize the services and the users’ experiences. By using our Sites, you acknowledge and agree to sourzia’s use of such third-party service providers, including, but not limited to, for the purpose of collecting, processing, analyzing, and recording your activity on, interaction with, and communications with or through our Sites, as further described in section 2 of this Privacy Policy.
These service providers may have access to Personal Data in the course of providing these services, which may involve transfers of such Personal Data to other countries. Such transfers are made for the purposes set forth in sections 2, 4 and 7 of this Privacy Policy.
– Improving our services
These third parties may provide data points including how much time you spend on specific pages, which links you choose to click, and data that helps determine user preferences. This information enables us to build and maintain our services with user feedback. These third parties may use cookies and other technologies to collect data on your behavior and
devices
such as the device type, browser information, and preferred language.
– Maintaining quality and protecting users
sourzia may transfer your Personal Data in limited situations to certain third-party vendors that assist sourzia with protecting our users and maintaining the quality of our services, products and features provided to those users. An example would be vendors sourzia uses for fraud detection purposes. Examples of those vendors include: SiftScience, Emailage, and PerimeterX. Another example would be vendors used to prevent accounts being created using account credentials that have been publicly disclosed. An example of such a vendor is: SpyCloud.
– Facilitating payments
sourzia may also share any credit, debit, or other payment card and related billing and payment information that you provide to sourzia with companies who work on sourzia’s behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to sourzia and servicing your account.
– Installing or using an sourzia app
In order to provide you with certain services and support ad attribution, limited user data may be shared with certain service providers when you install, download or use an sourzia App. This may include your IP address or other unique identifier, and event data related to the installation of the sourzia App.
This may be done for a variety of purposes, including facilitating user login through third-party accounts. It may also assist us to understand and optimize our users’ complete
customer
journey by helping us: (i) understand how users arrive to the Sites; (ii) better measure the performance of our ads; and (iii) understand where a user has accessed the Sites through different devices.
When you download or install an sourzia App, you acknowledge and accept that your Personal Data may be transferred to these service providers. You also agree to sourzia’s Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy and the applicable Terms of Service, and are informed that you may avail of your rights at any time, as detailed in section 8 of this Privacy Policy, including the right to object to the legitimate interest
use
of your Personal Data for marketing purposes.
Examples of the types of technologies that may support this behavior
include
pixels, javascript snippets, or cookies.
– Storage
Please also be aware that we may also use third-party cloud service providers that provide hosting, data storage and other services pursuant to standard terms and conditions that may be non-negotiable. These service providers have informed us or the general public that they apply security measures they consider adequate for the protection of information within their system, or they have a general reputation for applying such measures. However, we will not be liable (to the fullest extent permitted by law) for any damages that may result from the misuse of any information, including Personal Data, by these companies.
– Verifying professional certifications and licenses
We may
also
share certain professional certification or license numbers that you provide to sourzia with the issuing entity or organization in order to verify the certification or license is valid. We only perform this verification at your request when, for example, you add certain certifications or licenses to your sourzia Profile.
3.5 Transfers of publicly available information
When users post content on the Sites in a manner that is intended to make that content publicly available and searchable by individuals, sourzia reserves the right to aggregate and share that information with third parties. For example, if an Employer posts a job on the Sites, sourzia may share that Job Listing or information contained within that Job Listing with third parties, at sourzia’s discretion and subject to agreement with such third parties. sourzia also reserves the right to share information aggregated from public sources in this capacity.
3.6 Monitoring of sourzia services, etc.
sourzia may use information about users obtained from third-party platforms such as social networking sites for the following purposes:
Classify and quantitatively understand the number of responses and spread of marketing campaign measures such as TV commercials;
Monitor the reputation of sourzia’s services to understand what is appreciated and what is not, and use this information in communication plans;
Early detection of improvements to the service, monitoring of user feedback, and planning of countermeasures;
Support for users who do not know how to use sourzia’s services;
Finding product defects (e.g., “When I try to open the application, it displays a 501 error and I can’t use it” or “I can’t apply for a job”) and escalating the issue to the development team.
3.7 Links to Third-Party Sites
The Sites may make available
links
to other third-party websites. When you click on such links, you may leave our Sites. Your web browser may
also
disclose to the third-party website the URL of the Sites page you clicked from, and this URL may include search terms and filters you used on the Sites. The Sites may also make available Company Pages, which may contain information provided by third-party Employers.
sourzia is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. This includes but is not limited to the collection, use and disclosure of information by:
our affiliates
third-party service providers
employers (including employers who provide a company page)
third-party social media platforms
the maker of your device or operating system
any linked third-party website
You may have directly enforceable rights against these third parties. Please consult their specific individual privacy policies to learn more.
4. Additional uses and disclosures of Non-Personal Data
This policy also applies to our use of Non-Personal Data. We may use and disclose Non-Personal Data for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we combine any Non-Personal Data with Personal Data, then we will only use and disclose such combined information for the purposes described in sections 2 and 7 of this Privacy Policy while it is so combined.
5. Security
sourzia uses reasonable security measures to help protect your personal data. However, no method of transmission or storage of information via the Internet can be 100% secure. For example, emails or other messages
sent
via your web browser, or resumes shared with employers may not be encrypted by the recipient. Where the security of your information is beyond our control, we cannot guarantee the privacy of such information. Please see our Security page for more information about how sourzia protects your information.
Please note that we also use third-party cloud service providers to process your personal data as described by section 3.4 of this policy.
6. Cookies and tracking technologies
When you visit our Sites, download or install an sourzia App, and in some of our advertisements on third party websites we use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies, including from third-party partners such as Google and Facebook, for measurement services, better targeting advertisements, and for marketing purposes. Please see below and our Cookie Policy for further
detailed
information
regarding
our use of cookies including how you can control the use of these cookies via your browser settings.
– When you log in or use sourzia from some third-party websites
If you do not
already
have an sourzia account but log in to sourzia using a third party such as Facebook or Google, this creates an sourzia account using the same email address used in your Facebook or Google account. If you agree to provide this information to sourzia, Facebook or Google will authenticate you and redirect you to sourzia. Please note, when you log in to sourzia using your Facebook or Google account, Facebook or Google will use cookies in order to authenticate you as a Facebook or Google user.
By accessing sourzia through your Facebook or Google account, you understand that Facebook or Google will share certain data detailed in the above paragraph for the purposes of authentication to permit you to access sourzia in a secure manner. If you no longer wish to share data with sourzia from your Facebook or Google account, you will need to adjust your Facebook or Google account settings. Information passed from Facebook or Google to sourzia will be considered sourzia account information for purposes of your use of sourzia.
You have the ability to disable the connection between your Facebook or Google account and your sourzia account at any time by accessing your privacy settings on your Facebook or Google account. Facebook or Google may also ask for your permission to share certain other
details
with sourzia, including but not limited to your name, profile picture, public profile information, and email address. Once you
give
this permission, the requested information will be shared with sourzia. This information will be used to provide services to you, including populating your sourzia Profile on sourzia. The shared information will remain associated with your sourzia Profile until you modify or delete it.
– Do Not Track requests
We do not respond to the browser “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal if enabled by the user in their web browser. When we set or read cookies on non-affiliated sites that have integrated our job search and display features, we do so, for example, to provide a personalized job search experience to users on those sites. We do not share any information about your use of our Sites with those third parties. When third parties that we have integrated into the Sites (as described in the sourzia Cookie Policy) set or read their own third-party cookies, they may or may not respond to the DNT signal.
– Conversion tracking
sourzia may provide an Employer with code for a Conversion Tracker to place on its website that pings the Job Seeker web beacon and tracks whenever a Job Seeker has applied to a job on that Employer’s website. The Conversion Tracker is simply a counter that notifies sourzia that a Job Seeker has applied, and also has the ability to count applications across devices if a Job Seeker is logged in to the Employer’s website. If you would like to remove yourself from sourzia’s Job Seeker web beacon, you can opt out here.
7. Acquisitions and other reorganizations
A reorganization, change in our ownership, merger, acquisition, or sale of
assets
may result in a disclosure of your Personal Data to a third party (the “successor entity”).
If ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes, or we undertake a corporate reorganization (including a merger, sale of assets, consolidation, transfer or other action between sourzia entities), we may transfer your Personal Data to the successor entity.
The successor entity will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Data described in this notice. Your information will be used by the third party in accordance with this privacy notice until you are notified of an updated or amended privacy notice by the new owner or successor entity.

2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies, including from third-party partners such as Google and Facebook, for measurement services, better targeting advertisements, and for marketing purposes. This takes place from the Sites, when you download or install an sourzia App, and in some of our advertisements on third party websites. These cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies allow us to display our promotional material to you on other sites you visit across the Internet and connect you with more Employers. We may
also
share information about your behavior on the Sites with third parties (including operators of third-party websites and/or social networking sites) in order to show you targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you.
We also use these cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to facilitate the sourzia Targeted Ads Program and other advertisements to help us to determine which advertisements users have seen, how
many
times users have seen a particular advertisement, and on which sites a particular advertisement appeared. We may also allow Employers who participate in our sourzia Targeted Ads Program to place cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies in advertisements we serve on our Site and on third party websites to help these Employers understand how individuals interact with our advertisements about their Job Listings.
We may also use these cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies on the Sites to understand and inform an Employer about which users saw a particular Job Listing, Company Page, Hiring Event, or other advertisement in which the Employer is identified.
Purposes How We Use Cookies
Analytical Purposes sourzia and its affiliates (as defined in section 4.14 of the Privacy Policy) use cookies to analyze user activity in order to improve the Sites and the websites of sourzia affiliates. For example, we can use cookies to look at
aggregate
patterns like the average number of job searches that users perform. We can use such analysis to gain insights about how to improve the functionality and user experience of the Sites.
Your Preferences & User Experience sourzia and its affiliates use cookies to gather certain information about users, such as browser type, server, language preference, and country setting, in order to store user preferences on our Sites to make your user experience more consistent and convenient. For example, we may store the recent searches you have performed in a cookie so that we can allow you to easily repeat those searches when you return to our Sites, or so that we can suggest profile information when you sign up for an account and fill out a resume on the Sites (e.g. sourzia Resume).
In addition, we use cookies to maintain your logged in state when you visit our Sites repeatedly. We may also use your IP address to determine your geographic location at city or postal code level in order to provide you with the most
relevant
search results.
Provide Measurement Services and Better Targeted Ads, & Marketing We use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies from third-party partners such as Google and Beeswax for measurement services, better targeting advertisements, and for marketing purposes. This takes place when you visit our Sites and when you download or install an sourzia App. These cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies allow us to display our promotional material (which may include a particular Job Listing or Company Page available on the Sites) to you on other sites you visit across the Internet.
Our third-party advertising partners may also use these technologies to identify your browsing interests over time and across different websites to deliver targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you.
sourzia may also share information about your behavior on the Sites with third parties (including operators of third-party websites) in order to show you targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you. We also use cookies to facilitate the sourzia Targeted Ads Program. In connection with this Program and other advertisements, we use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies, including from third party partners, to determine which advertisements users have seen, how many times users have seen a particular advertisement, and on which sites a particular advertisement appeared.

of your Personal Data for the purposes of marketing. To opt out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting, or to exercise any other rights, please feel free to follow the steps detailed in section 10 of our Privacy Policy.
Referral Tracking We use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies, including from third party partners, to associate user activity with the third party website that referred the user to our Sites, or to associate user activity that sourzia referred to a third party website. Some of these third party websites are partner websites that receive credit for the activity of users they refer to our Sites, or give us credit for the activity of users referred to such third party websites.
However, we may use these technologies to share limited information about user activity with Employers, such as which users saw a particular Job Posting, Company Page, Hiring Event, or other advertisement on the Sites, and the third party website on which you interacted with a link to a Job Listing, Company Page, or Hiring Event, or other advertisement on the Sites. We also use cookies and these technologies to associate user activity with the email campaign that referred the user to our Sites.
