4) AI and automated systems

Fursa may use AI, machine learning, automation, and software systems to collect, classify, deduplicate, rank, summarize, enrich, match, or analyze job market information.

We may use AI-assisted systems to improve search quality, candidate understanding, matching, job recommendations, hiring workflows, and product improvement.

AI-generated or AI-assisted outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated. Important employment, hiring, compensation, legal, financial, or business decisions should not be made solely based on Fursa outputs.

For hiring-related services, AI may assist with search, matching, screening, research, summarization, or workflow support, but final hiring decisions remain the responsibility of the employer or hiring organization.

5) Legal bases for processing

Where required by applicable law, we process personal information based on one or more legal bases, including:

• your consent,
• performance of a contract with you,
• our legitimate interests,
• compliance with legal obligations,
• protection of rights, safety, and security, and
• steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.

Our legitimate interests may include operating Fursa, improving our services, preventing abuse, securing our systems, communicating with users, developing products, and understanding job market activity.

6) How we share information

We may share information with:

• service providers who help us operate Fursa,
• hosting and infrastructure providers,
• analytics providers,
• email and communication providers,
• payment processors,
• security and fraud prevention providers,
• employers or hiring teams when you participate in Fursa Hire, ask to be considered for relevant opportunities, or otherwise use a hiring-related service that involves candidate introductions,
• professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants, and auditors,
• regulators, authorities, courts, or law enforcement where required by law, and
• buyers, investors, or successors in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your personal information or provide unrestricted access to candidate profiles or resumes.

7) Candidate and hiring information

If you submit a resume, CV, profile, or candidate-related information to Fursa, we may use it to personalize search, improve matching, contact you about relevant opportunities, and provide hiring-related services.

Candidate profiles and resumes are private by default.

If you participate in Fursa Hire, ask to be considered for opportunities, or otherwise use a hiring-related service, we may share relevant candidate information with employers or hiring teams as part of introductions, evaluations, or hiring workflows tied to those opportunities.

Employers pay Fursa for recruiting work and hiring outcomes, not for access to a candidate database.

If you are an employer or client submitting candidate information, you represent that you have the right to provide that information to Fursa and that your use of Fursa complies with applicable employment, privacy, anti-discrimination, and data protection laws.

8) Employer, company, and job information

Fursa indexes job and company information from employer websites, company career pages, applicant tracking systems, and other publicly available or permitted sources.

This may include company names, job titles, job descriptions, locations, apply links, compensation information where available, seniority, skills, role categories, and other job-related information.

We use this information to provide job search, employer indexing, hiring services, and related product operations.

If you believe information shown on Fursa is inaccurate or should be removed, contact us at [email protected].

9) Cookies and similar technologies

Fursa may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to:

• operate the website,
• remember preferences,
• understand usage,
• improve product performance,
• measure traffic and engagement,
• detect abuse or security issues, and
• improve our services.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

More information may be provided in our Cookie Policy.

10) Communications

We may send you service messages, product updates, job alerts, hiring updates, newsletters, or other communications.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us at [email protected].

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you important service, security, account, billing, or legal messages.

11) Data retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide our services, operate Fursa, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent abuse, and protect our rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is used.

For example:

• account information may be kept while your account is active,
• search and usage information may be kept to improve and secure Fursa,
• candidate information may be kept while hiring-related services or active introductions are underway and for a reasonable period afterward,
• billing and transaction records may be kept as required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes, and
• aggregated or de-identified information may be kept for longer.

You may request deletion of your personal information by contacting us at [email protected]. We may retain certain information where required or permitted by law.

12) International data transfers

Fursa is a global service. Your information may be processed, stored, or transferred in countries other than where you live.

These countries may have different data protection laws from your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

By using Fursa, you understand that your information may be processed in countries where we, our service providers, or our partners operate.

13) Security

We use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect personal information.

However, no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that personal information will always remain secure, private, or free from unauthorized access.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised.

14) Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• access the personal information we hold about you,
• request correction of inaccurate information,
• request deletion of your information,
• object to or restrict certain processing,
• request a copy of your information,
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent,
• opt out of certain communications,
• opt out of certain sharing where applicable, and
• lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To make a request, contact us at [email protected].

We may need to verify your identity before responding. We may also refuse or limit requests where permitted by law, including where a request is excessive, unlawful, affects another person's rights, or conflicts with legal obligations.

15) California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under California privacy law, including the right to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain uses or sharing of personal information.

We do not sell personal information for money.

To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected].

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

16) Children's privacy

Fursa is not intended for children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to Fursa, contact us at [email protected], and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

If you are under 18, you may use Fursa only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

17) Third-party links and services

Fursa may link to third-party websites, employer career pages, applicant tracking systems, payment providers, analytics tools, communication tools, or other external services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or actions of third-party services.

When you visit or use a third-party service, its own privacy policy and terms apply.

18) Business transfers

If Fursa is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any successor handles personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, unless you are notified otherwise.

19) Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If we make material changes, we may notify users by updating the date above, posting a notice, sending an email, or using another reasonable method.

Your continued use of Fursa after the updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
