This analysis describes what ZipRecruiter's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Without clearly specified retention periods, it is difficult for users to know how long their job search history, resume data, and profile information will remain in ZipRecruiter's systems and accessible to employers.
Users' personal information—including resumes, application history, browsing activity, and connected account data—is collected and processed for job matching functions and shared with employers and third-party service providers. Users may submit data access, correction, or deletion requests to privacy@ziprecruiter.com, and California residents may exercise additional rights through the designated California Privacy Notice. The policy does not require submission of sensitive personal data categories, though users retain responsibility for information included in submitted materials.
