3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Platform
- Match you with relevant job opportunities and recommended content
- Enable employers to view your application materials when you apply
- Send transactional notifications (account, security, application updates)

- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents

4. Public Content Notice
Information you choose to make public — including profile details, posts, job listings, comments, projects, and shareable profile links — may be visible to other users and, in some cases, publicly accessible on the internet.
Please exercise caution when sharing personal or sensitive information. Once content is made public, it may be cached, archived, or copied by third parties beyond our control.
5. How We Share Your Information
5.1 With Employers When You Apply
When you apply for a job, your application details — including your profile information, resume, and any additional information you provide — are shared directly with the employer or recruiter who posted the role. We are not responsible for how employers store, use, or process your data once it has been shared with them. Please review an employer's privacy practices before applying.
5.2 With Service Providers
We share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Platform — including hosting (Railway, Vercel), content delivery (Bunny CDN), email delivery (AWS SES), authentication (Google Firebase Auth), and analytics. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the services we contract them to provide.
5.3 We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for advertising or commercial purposes.
5.4 Legal Disclosure
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or governmental request, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, prevent fraud, ensure user safety, or investigate violations of our Terms.
5.5 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you and provide options where required by law.
6. Third-Party Links
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or external job postings. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of these external sites. When you leave the Platform via an external link, your interaction with that site is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.
7. Data Storage and Transfer
Your data may be stored, processed, and transferred outside India by our service providers. By using the Platform, you consent to this transfer. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any international transfer is protected by appropriate safeguards.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS / TLS
- Industry-standard hashing for stored passwords (bcrypt) — passwords are never stored in plain text
- Secure file storage on Bunny CDN with restricted access
- JWT-based authentication with httpOnly refresh cookies
- Rate limiting and bot protection on sensitive endpoints
- Regular security review and access controls for our systems
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information using commercially reasonable means, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.
9. Data Retention
- Active accounts: retained while your account remains active
- Deleted accounts: personal data is removed within 30 days, except where retention is required by law
- Job application records: retained for up to 2 years after the application or last activity, for fraud prevention and dispute resolution
- Backups: may persist for a limited period after deletion as part of disaster-recovery cycles
10. Cookies
We use cookies strictly for authentication and essential Platform functionality (for example, keeping you signed in via httpOnly refresh tokens, and remembering your session). We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising, and we do not allow third-party advertising trackers.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will prevent core features (such as staying signed in) from working.
11. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to:
- Access and review the personal information we hold about you
- Update or correct inaccurate or incomplete information from your profile settings
- Delete your account and associated personal data
- Control which sections of your profile are publicly visible via privacy settings
- Withdraw consent for data processing where processing is based on consent
- Object to certain types of processing or request data portability, where applicable
- File a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@coderzon.com. We will respond within the timelines required by applicable law.
12. Children's Privacy
The Platform is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@coderzon.com and we will take steps to delete it.
13. Grievance Officer
In compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules thereunder, we have designated a Grievance Officer to address user complaints regarding privacy or data handling. Complaints will be acknowledged within 24 hours and resolved within 15 days from the date of receipt.
