This hierarchy means that the DPF Principles set a floor of protection that ZipRecruiter's own policy language cannot override.
The updated Privacy Policy now explicitly discloses that ZipRecruiter may collect voice or audio recordings as part of Identity Data, a category of personal information not previously listed in the policy. The policy also expands its definition of AI to include large language models and similar tools used in job matching.

You can review the prior version of the policy through a link provided in the updated document.
