3.1 Talent Pool

When you create a DevsUnite account, your profile, resume, skills, and career preference information are retained in our Talent Pool. This means DevsUnite may proactively contact you, by email or in-app notification, about job openings, hiring campaigns, or opportunities we believe may be relevant to you, even for roles you have not applied to.

Talent Pool outreach comes only from DevsUnite. Being part of the Talent Pool does not mean we share your profile, resume, or contact details with any employer or third party. Your information is only shared with a specific employer when you choose to apply to their job listing, as described in Section 4.1 below.

You can opt out of Talent Pool outreach at any time by emailing team@devsunite.com, the same way you can opt out of any other marketing communications (Section 5.2).

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share your information in the following situations:

4.1 With Employers and Recruiters

When you apply for a job through our Service, we share your profile information, resume, and application details with the employer or recruiter who posted the job. You can control what information is visible to employers in your privacy settings.

4.2 With Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts.

4.3 With Business Partners

We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions that may be of interest to you.

4.4 With Other Users

When you share personal information or otherwise interact with public areas of the Service, such information may be viewed by all users and may be publicly distributed outside the Service. If you interact with other users of our Service, they may see your profile information, activity, and status.

4.5 Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, your information may be transferred as part of such a transaction. The successor entity will be bound by this Privacy Policy.

4.6 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena.

4.7 Vital Interests and Legal Rights

We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or as evidence in litigation.

5.2 Marketing Communications

You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send or by contacting us. You will then be removed from the marketing email list; however, we may still communicate with you regarding service-related matters.

5.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Service.

5.4 Do Not Track

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. However, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies which can provide you with some control over the collection of certain tracking data.

5.5 Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as:

• The right to access personal information we hold about you
• The right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information
• The right to request that we delete your personal information
• The right to restrict or object to processing of your personal information
• The right to data portability (receiving a copy of your personal information)
• The right to withdraw consent where we rely on consent to process your personal information

To exercise these rights, please contact us at team@devsunite.com.

6. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored "personal data" (as defined in applicable laws) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the Service in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

7. Data Retention

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. No purpose in this policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period in which you have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

9. International Data Transfers

Our Service is primarily operated and managed on servers located in India. If you access our Service from outside India, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us and our affiliates in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information, in India and other countries.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from Indian law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. We will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

10. Third-Party Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. The inclusion of links to such sites does not imply an endorsement of the content on such sites.
