- Profile: In your profile, you have different options you can include, such as your education, work experience, skills, your city or location, as well as your demographic data. It's not necessary to provide additional information on your profile; however, profile information helps you get more out of our Services.
- Publication and Uploading of Content: We collect your personal data when you provide, post, or upload it to our Services, such as when you fill out a form (e.g., with demographic data), respond to a survey or send a resume. Note: The Company to whom you have sent the application will NOT receive your protected personal data (Name, contact, gender, address, etc.) during the blind screening phase.

2. How We Use Your Data
If you are a Professional
We use your personal data in two ways:
- Demographic data (optional): Used for statistical and academic purposes, with the help of automated systems to eliminate bias.
- Contact Data: The data you incorporate into the platform (contact info) is only provided to Companies that want to contact you or to which you have submitted your candidacy, and we will always request your authorization first. We do not associate demographic data with your candidacy in any case.
If you are a Company
We use the data you provide about your company and job offers to show them to professionals. The collected data are primarily used to:
- Facilitate the posting of job offers.
- Help professionals find relevant opportunities.
- Optimize our recommendations and personalize the user experience.
3. How We Share Information

- Profile: Your profile (without personal data) is visible to companies posting job offers.
- Company Accounts: Information about your company can be consulted by professionals looking for job opportunities within our platform.
3.2 Service Providers
We use third parties to help us provide our Services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audits, payments, fraud detection). These third parties will have limited access to your information to the extent necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
4. Your Options and Obligations
4.1 Data Retention
We generally retain your personal data for as long as you keep your account open, or for the period necessary to provide you with our Services.
