Privacy and responsible use of information
JobOoro operates a digital employment platform designed to help people discover career opportunities and help organizations communicate employment opportunities to suitable candidates.

This policy should be read together with our Terms and Conditions and any additional notices presented when you use a particular feature or service.

You should avoid including information in a public profile that you do not want other people to see. You are responsible for reviewing your profile and privacy settings and keeping professional information accurate.
You can update information that the platform allows you to manage through your account. Where a feature provides a way to remove uploaded material or account information, the available account controls can be used for that purpose.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

These vendors may collect or receive information about your browser or device and your interactions with advertising.

We do not sell personal information merely because it has been collected through the platform. Information may, however, be processed by service providers acting on our behalf where necessary to deliver or secure our services.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, destruction and misuse.
Our safeguards are designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, destruction or misuse. These may include HTTPS connections, password protections, access controls and other technical and administrative measures appropriate to the systems and information involved.
No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Users should protect their account credentials, use strong unique passwords and promptly report suspicious activity.
10. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain legitimate business records, support applications, comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent abuse and maintain platform security.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected. Where information is no longer required, it may be deleted, anonymized or securely disposed of subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information. These may include the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, data portability or withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a privacy request in order to protect your information from unauthorized disclosure.
12. International Data Transfers
JobOoro may use service providers or infrastructure located in countries other than the country where a user lives. Where personal information is processed across national borders, we aim to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and any safeguards required by law.
13. Children's Privacy
JobOoro is intended for people who are legally permitted to participate in employment and recruitment activities. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children in circumstances where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.
14. Third-Party Websites and Services
Job listings, company profiles, career resources or application instructions may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Those websites may have their own privacy policies, terms and security practices.
We are not responsible for privacy practices that are outside our control. Before submitting personal information to an external website, you should review that website's privacy notice and verify that you are comfortable with how your information will be handled.
15. Keeping Your Information Accurate
Accurate professional information helps candidates present themselves appropriately and helps employers evaluate applications. Users should review their account, resume and professional profile periodically and correct information that is outdated or inaccurate.
You should also avoid uploading information belonging to another person unless you have the appropriate authority or permission to do so.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, legal obligations or information practices change. When material changes are made, we will publish the updated policy and revise the date shown at the top of this page.
We encourage users to review this page periodically so that they understand how information is handled when using the platform.
