ZipRecruiter Privacy Policy

ZipRecruiter's Privacy Policy explains what information the platform collects about you, who it shares that information with, and what rights you have. When you apply to a job, your name and contact details are automatically sent to the employer and any recruiting software they use. If you opt into the Resume Database, recruiters and employers can access your identity and contact information, and any data they copy before you opt out stays with them.

ZipRecruiter's Privacy Policy establishes the terms under which ZipRecruiter collects, uses, shares, and retains Personal Data from users of its platform. ZipRecruiter automatically collects Technical Data and Usage Data through cookies and similar technologies, and may disclose that data to third-party advertising partners for targeted advertising — disclosures ZipRecruiter acknowledges may constitute a 'sale' or 'use for targeted advertising' under applicable privacy laws, while separately asserting it does not monetize Personal Data by selling it to third parties. Upon job application, ZipRecruiter mandatorily shares Identity Data and Contact Data with the prospective employer, their agents, and any external Applicant Tracking System. Users who opt into the Resume Database grant ZipRecruiter permission to share their Identity Data and Contact Data with prospective employers, recruiters, and their agents, and any data copied or saved by those parties before a subsequent opt-out remains with those parties. ZipRecruiter operates under the EU-U.S. DPF, UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. DPF frameworks, under which it bears responsibility for data transferred to third-party agents, and the DPF Principles govern in any conflict with the Policy itself.

As a user, your device and browsing data are collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies. If you apply to a job, your Identity Data and Contact Data are shared with the employer, their agents, and any Applicant Tracking System they use — without a separate opt-in step. If you opt into the Resume Database, your Identity Data and Contact Data become accessible to a broad set of employers and recruiters; any party that copies or saves that data before you opt out retains it even after you do. ZipRecruiter recognizes your right not to be subject to decisions made solely by automated processing or profiling that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects. ZipRecruiter states that its disclosures may qualify as a 'sale' or 'use for targeted advertising' under applicable privacy laws — users who wish to act on that characterization can opt out of the Resume Database to limit prospective data sharing.
