Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Alignzo ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our anonymous hiring platform.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Candidates: Email, phone number, location, professional roles, years of experience, certifications, achievements, portfolio links, culture preferences, and resume files.
• Employers: Company name, contact name, contact email, industry, company size, location, hiring goals, team culture, role requirements, and job descriptions.
• Account Information: Login credentials, user preferences, and profile settings.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Device information, IP address, browser type, and operating system
• Usage data, including pages visited, time spent on the platform, and interaction patterns
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies

2.3 AI-Enhanced Information

When you upload a resume, our AI technology analyzes the document to extract skills, suggest certifications, and identify achievements. This analysis is performed securely and the data is stored encrypted.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To create and maintain anonymous profiles
• To calculate alignment scores and facilitate matches between candidates and employers
• To send email notifications about matches and identity reveal requests
• To improve our AI algorithms and matching technology
• To provide customer support and respond to inquiries
• To analyze platform usage and improve user experience
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms

4. Anonymous Profile System

Alignzo's core feature is anonymous matching. Your identifying information (name, email, company name) remains hidden until both parties in a match mutually agree to reveal identities. We generate anonymous IDs (e.g., CND-XXXX for candidates, EMP-XXXX for employers) for all public-facing profiles.

5. Information Sharing and Disclosure

5.1 With Other Users

Anonymous profile information (roles, experience, location, etc.) is shared with potential matches. Identifying information is only shared after both parties request identity reveal.

5.2 Service Providers

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our platform, including:

• Cloud hosting providers
• Email service providers
• AI and machine learning services
• Analytics providers

5.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Alignzo, our users, or others.

5.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Secure authentication and access controls
• Regular security audits and monitoring
• Employee training on data protection

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal information
• Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information
• Deletion: You can permanently delete your account at any time from your Profile settings → Danger Zone. This immediately removes your profile, matches, messages, referrals, subscription, and all associated data. This action cannot be undone.
• Portability: Receive your data in a portable format
• Objection: Object to certain processing activities
• Withdrawal of Consent: Withdraw consent for processing based on consent

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@alignzo.com.

8. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers in compliance with applicable laws.

9. Children's Privacy

Alignzo is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience, analyze usage, and provide personalized content. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes by email or through a prominent notice on our platform. Continued use of Alignzo after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
