Protecting your data, privacy, and personal information is very important to Jobanya (“JOBANYA”, “Jobanya”, “and our”, “us” or “we”).

This policy (together with our terms of use at https://www.jobanya.com/terms-conditions and any other documents referred to in it), sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand the types of information we collect from you, how we use that information, the circumstances under which we will share it with third parties, and your rights concerning the personal data you provide to us.

Our Services connect you with Job Seekers, Jobs, or Employers (as applicable), giving you the ability to search for, browse, and communicate with Job Seekers, Jobs, or Employers (as applicable). However, we also use automated matching processes facilitated by algorithms within the Services which seek to match you with the most appropriate Job Seekers, Jobs, or Employers (as applicable) by reference to the data you have provided to us along with any criteria specified by the Job Seeker or Employer (as applicable). This may result in decisions being made automatically. For example, we may limit what jobs are visible to Job Seekers based on the qualifications and expertise required for that job. In relation to this automated processing, we ensure there are safeguards in place to protect your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests and you have the right to contest any automated decisions made and obtain human intervention to alter decisions made, where possible. We may also use non-algorithmic methods to match you with Job Seekers or jobs who we believe would be suitable for candidates or Employers who we believe have a suitable role for you (as applicable).

Right

Right of Access.

Details

You have the right to obtain from us information as to whether your personal data is being processed, and, where that is the case, access to such personal data.

Right to Rectification

We will use reasonable endeavors to ensure that your personal information is accurate. In order to assist us with this, you should notify us of any changes to the personal information that you have provided to us by sending us a request to rectify your personal data where you believe the personal data we have is inaccurate or incomplete. You may also change most of your personal details within our app or website directly.

Where you request Jobanya to rectify or erase your personal data or restrict any processing of such personal data, Jobanya may notify third parties to whom such personal data has been disclosed of such request.
