How we process job seekers' data
Updated 2026-11-03
Who processes your data
The data controller is the Zorky service ("we"). Questions about your data: email hr@zorky.tech, Telegram @termdocs or the request form.
What we do with your data and why
| Purpose | What data | Legal basis | Can you opt out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account and job search: sign-in, search criteria, your job feed, saved jobs, "fits / doesn't fit" marks | email address; search criteria (field, stack, level, work format, country, salary); your marks and saved jobs | contract — you use the service | yes — delete your account |
| Job alerts by email (and later in Telegram) | email address (or Telegram); sending time; which alerts were sent | your consent, separately for each channel | yes — any time under "Notifications" or via the link in the email |
| Showing your profile to companies | only the fields shown to you before you switch it on | your separate consent | yes — "Hide profile from companies" |
| Public page by link app.zorky.tech/u/<login> — you send the link to recruiters yourself | your login; the profile fields listed before you switch it on (directions, skills, experience, work format, country, languages, terms); name, salary and links only if ticked separately. Email, phone, messengers and citizenship are never shown. Search engines do not index the page (noindex) | your consent | yes — switch the page off or remove the login at step 1 of the profile form |
| Job offers from your page — left by people you sent the link to | from the sender: name, reply email, company and job link (optional), message; the IP address only as an irreversible fingerprint (HMAC) for the per-address limit. To you: an email "you have an offer" without the offer text, at most once every 6 hours | your consent ("Accept job offers" box); the sender's consent under the form | yes — untick "Accept job offers" or switch the page off; a single offer — "Delete" or "Spam" |
| Protecting the service from break-ins and abuse | IP address, browser data, sign-in log | legitimate interest / legal obligation | no, while the account exists |
You do not need to consent to being shown to companies in order to search for jobs. These three things are switched on and off separately.
What we don't do
- We don't show your profile to companies until you switch it on yourself.
- We don't sell your data or use it for advertising.
- We don't write to you until you switch on job alerts yourself.
- We do not give your email or contacts to people who leave an offer on your page and do not relay your replies: you reply yourself, from your own email.
Where and how long data is stored
Data may be processed and stored on servers outside the user's country, including in the USA. We apply organisational and technical safeguards.
- Account, search criteria and marks — while the account exists. When you delete your account, it is erased from the working database at once, and your profile and CV are anonymised.
- Job offers from your page — 180 days, then deleted automatically; immediately when you delete your account. An offer marked "Spam" is hidden and kept until the end of the same 180 days: new offers from that email and address are not accepted for you.
- A released page login (changed, page or account deleted) cannot be taken by anyone else for 30 days, so that an already-shared link does not collect offers meant for you. Only a fingerprint of the login (sha256) is kept for that time, not the login itself.
- The log of consents and refusals remains after the account is deleted: it is needed to prove that you consented or refused. It does not contain the email address itself — only its irreversible fingerprint (hash).
- Backups are kept for a limited time and deleted on a schedule.
Your rights
At any time you can:
- find out what data we hold about you and get a copy — as one file, with the "Download my data" button (once a day);
- correct inaccurate data;
- withdraw any consent — this does not affect the other purposes;
- delete only the CV file — with the "Delete file" button; your profile and filled-in fields remain;
- delete your account and data.
How: in your account ("Profile" section: "Download my data", "Delete file", "Delete account"), via the request form, by email to hr@zorky.tech or on Telegram @termdocs. We respond within one month.
Terms of use of the job seeker account are on a separate page.
