Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Hired3 collects, uses, and shares data to run our Web3 hiring platform. We describe the specific data we store based on the features you use.

Who is responsible

Hired3 is the data controller for personal data processed on this site. You can contact us at privacy@hired3.com.

Information we collect

• Account and authentication: email address, one time passcode hashes, passcode attempts, and token version metadata.
• Profiles: candidate name, location, and links (github, linkedin, portfolio), plus company profile name, website, logo, brand color, bio, and socials.
• Job posts: title, company, location, work mode, experience, category, tags, salary and currency, logo, and brand color.
• Applications: candidate email, resume URL, cover letter text, answers to application questions, application status, and employer notes.
• Saved jobs and preferences: saved job IDs and preference settings for alerts, digests, sharing profile with applications, and default search and posting settings.
• Newsletter: email address for weekly job updates if you opt in.
• Payment records: listing tier, amount, currency, and Stripe session and payment intent IDs.
• Usage and performance: aggregated analytics events and performance metrics from Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights.

How we use information

• Operate core features like job listings, internal applications, saved jobs, and account settings.
• Send transactional emails including one time passcodes and application confirmations.
• Review posts and edits to reduce scams and low quality listings.
• Process payments for Highlighted and Pinned listings through Stripe.
• Improve reliability and performance using analytics and speed metrics.

How applications are shared

When you apply to a job using Hired3 internal applications, we share your application materials with the employer who posted the role. This includes your email, resume, cover letter, answers, and application status. Candidate profile details are shared only if you enable the “share profile with applications” setting.

If you apply via an external link or email provided by an employer, your data is sent directly to that employer and is governed by their privacy practices.

File uploads and access controls

We store uploaded logos and resumes in Cloudflare R2. Logos are treated as public assets. Resumes and document files are protected by access checks and can only be viewed by the candidate, the employer for the relevant application, or via a short lived preview token. PDF resumes are limited to 10MB.

Cookies and browser storage

We use cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and store your consent choice. The auth cookie is httpOnly and short lived. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share limited data with service providers only to operate Hired3:

• Resend for transactional email delivery.
• Stripe for payments and checkout.
• Cloudflare R2 for file storage.
• Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights for usage and performance measurement.

Security

We use access controls, short lived tokens, and secure cookies to protect data. No system is perfectly secure, so we encourage you to protect your email account and devices.

Retention and deletion

We retain data while your account is active and as needed to operate the service. One time passcodes expire after 10 minutes. You can delete your account from Settings, which removes your posts, applications, profiles, saved jobs, and preferences from our database. If you need a specific file removed, contact us.
