What we collect
When you post a job, we collect your account and contact details, company information, job details, payment records, and your authorization declaration. Job applications are sent directly to employers, so Ergazo does not collect application messages or CVs through a listing. If you voluntarily create a private applicant account, we store the profile, saved-job, alert, and resume information you choose to add; employers cannot browse it.
How we use it
We use information to authenticate users, review and publish authorized advertisements, take payment, operate private saved jobs and alerts, prevent fraud, provide support, and comply with legal duties. We do not use applicant profiles to match, rank, or recommend people to employers, and we do not sell personal data.
Legal bases for processing
We process account and service information to perform our contract with you or take steps you request before a contract. Our legitimate interests support proportionate employer verification, fraud prevention, security, moderation, support and the establishment or defence of legal claims. We process records where required by law, including accounting obligations. Optional analytics and advertising tracking rely on your consent. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Verification, support and fraud reports
We may process employer identity and authority evidence, company contact details, account and security records, and information you send in support requests or fraud reports. This may include personal data in messages or screenshots you choose to share. Send only relevant information and redact bank details, identity numbers and unrelated personal data. Access is limited to people and service providers who need it for review, security, support or legal duties. We retain evidence only for as long as needed to handle the matter and any necessary legal, security or dispute requirements; an applicable legal hold can delay deletion.
Payment processing
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card details.
Data storage
We use cloud providers, including Cloudflare, whose infrastructure and support operations may process data in more than one country. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on the provider's applicable transfer safeguards and contractual protections.
How long we keep your data
Employer accounts, authorization records, invoices, and published listings are kept for the periods needed to operate the service and meet legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, and dispute requirements. Private applicant profile data is kept until the user deletes it or the account, subject to necessary legal holds. Saved jobs and alerts can be deleted from the account. Historical application-forwarding delivery metadata, if any, is automatically removed after 7 days.
Third-party services we use
We share the minimum data necessary with the following processors to operate Ergazo:
- Cloudflare — hosting, security, CDN, database (D1), and file storage (R2). Processing locations and international-transfer safeguards are governed by our Cloudflare service configuration and agreement.
- Stripe — payment processing for job postings. Stripe receives your email and billing details directly; we never see your card number.
- Resend — fallback transactional email delivery. Cloudflare also handles inbound support mail and outbound transactional messages.
- Meta Platforms (Facebook, Instagram) — we use the Meta Graph API to publish job listings and educational content to our own Facebook Page and Instagram Business account. We do not read your personal Meta data, and we do not use Facebook Login to sign users into Ergazo.
- Google — public company favicon requests and, with consent, Google Analytics. Direct browser requests can disclose connection data such as an IP address; analytics may also process identifiers and page events.
Facebook and Instagram integration
Ergazo uses its Facebook Page and Instagram Business account to publish vacancies and educational content and may advertise on Meta platforms. With your consent, Meta Pixel and related advertising measurement may process identifiers, page visits and events. We do not use Facebook Login or access visitors’ private messages, friend lists or timelines. Activity on Meta platforms is also subject to Meta’s privacy notice.
Who we share data with
Personal data is shared with the processors listed above only as needed to operate Ergazo. Job applications are not routed through Ergazo; you provide application data directly to the employer. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We may disclose information when legally required.
Applications go directly to employers
Ergazo does not receive, screen, rank or forward applications through job advertisements. Apply opens the advertised website or email address, or displays a telephone number. The organisation receiving your application is responsible for its own processing and privacy notice. Employer verification is not a guarantee of every later message or request. This does not limit your data-protection rights or Ergazo’s responsibility for processing it carries out itself.
Application forwarding aliases previously operated by Ergazo are disabled. Limited historical delivery metadata may remain for up to 7 days after an earlier forwarding event for bounce handling and security, after which it is deleted automatically; message bodies and attachments were not retained.
Children
Ergazo is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted personal data, contact privacy@ergazo.com and we will delete it.
Your rights
Subject to the conditions in applicable law, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction and portability of your personal data, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdraw consent. You may complain to the Cyprus Commissioner for Personal Data Protection or another competent supervisory authority. These rights are not waived by using Ergazo. For requests, email privacy@ergazo.com.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep the site working. With your consent, we also use analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Plausible) to understand how visitors use the site, and marketing cookies (Meta Pixel) for advertising. You can manage your preferences at any time via the cookie settings in the footer.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced on the Ergazo homepage.
