Privacy Policy

01. Introduction

Welcome to SAPJobsFinder. We are committed to transparency in our data processing practices and safeguarding the privacy of every candidate, recruiter, employer, and visitor who engages with our platform.

02. Who We Are & Data Controller Identification

SAPJobsFinder is an independent career platform operated by BridgecoreIT (“we”, “us”, or “our”). Under applicable data protection legislation (including the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation and the India Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), BridgecoreIT acts as the Data Controller (or “Data Fiduciary”) for personal data collected directly through the platform.

03. Scope of This Privacy Policy

• Public Visitors: Individuals browsing public job listings, module guides, salary reports, and educational career resources.
• Customer Support Users: Users submitting inquiries, feedback, or support tickets through our contact workflows.

This Policy does not apply to third-party employer websites, ATS platforms, or external services that candidates may access via external links.

• We collect subscription plan selections, billing contact details, invoice records, payment request timestamps, transaction reference IDs, and verification statuses.

You can configure your browser to block or alert you about cookies. Note that disabling strictly necessary authentication cookies will prevent you from signing in or accessing your candidate or employer dashboard.

12. How We Use Personal Information (Purposes of Processing)

We process personal information exclusively for lawful, recruitment-specific business purposes:

• Talent Discovery (Talent Hub): Enabling verified enterprise employers to discover candidate profiles aligned with candidate privacy preferences.
• Communication & Alerts: Delivering transactional alerts, application status updates, interview invitations, and support ticket responses.
• Platform Integrity & Security: Preventing fraud, detecting duplicate/fake job listings, enforcing zero candidate fee policies, and securing infrastructure.
• Service Improvement: Analyzing aggregated usage metrics to optimize search performance, improve module taxonomies, and refine user experience.

13. Legal Bases for Processing

Under global data protection laws (including GDPR Art. 6 and India DPDP Act), we rely on the following lawful bases:

14. Candidate Profiles & Resume Visibility

Candidate resume privacy is a foundational pillar of SAPJobsFinder:

• Private Storage: Uploaded resumes are stored in private, encrypted Amazon S3 storage buckets with strict bucket policies prohibiting public indexing or direct anonymous access.
• Granular Visibility Modes: In your Candidate Privacy Settings, you can configure your Talent Hub visibility:
  • Open to Opportunities / Employer-Visible: Verified recruiters can view your professional headline, SAP module expertise, and summary in Talent Hub, and request resume access.
  • Private: Your profile and resume remain completely invisible in Talent Hub search. Your information is only shared with an employer when you explicitly submit an application for their specific job posting.
• Time-Limited Presigned URLs: When an authorized employer views your resume, the platform generates a short-lived (15-minute time-to-live) cryptographically signed URL. No permanent public download links exist.
• Candidate Resume Autonomy: You can replace, update, or permanently delete your resume at any time from your Job Seeker Dashboard.

15. Job Applications Workflow & Data Sharing

When you submit an application for a job listing on SAPJobsFinder:

16. Employer Access to Candidate Information

We distinguish between three levels of candidate visibility:

• Public Talent Hub (Anonymized): Unauthenticated visitors can only view anonymized candidate skill summaries without names, contact information, employer details, or downloadable resumes.
• Authenticated Recruiter Search: Verified employers with active subscription access can view detailed candidate profiles for candidates who have enabled discovery.
• Direct Applicants: When a candidate applies to a job, the posting employer receives full applicant contact details and resume access for that application.

17. Job Matching, Skill Categorization & AI Recommendations

SAPJobsFinder uses algorithmic skill parsing and artificial intelligence algorithms to assist discovery:

• Automated extraction of SAP modules, technical skills, and years of experience from profile bios and uploaded resumes.
• Relevance scoring to rank job openings that best match a candidate’s preferred SAP modules and location criteria.
• Suggested candidate recommendations displayed to recruiters for specific job requisitions.

18. Platform Communications & System Notifications

We send essential transactional notifications necessary for platform operation:

• Account creation, email verification, and password reset confirmations.
• Application receipt confirmations and status updates from hiring employers.
• Direct recruiter messages and interview scheduling notifications.
• Customer support ticket updates and security alerts.

You can manage specific notification preferences (such as instant vs. daily job alert frequencies) in your Job Seeker Settings dashboard.

19. Marketing Communications & Career Insights

With your consent or where permitted by applicable law, we may send periodic career insights, SAP salary benchmark reports, module trends, and platform feature announcements.

You can opt out of non-essential marketing emails at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing email or by updating your notification preferences in your dashboard.

20. How We Share Personal Information

We share personal information strictly within the authorized parameters described below:

• With Hiring Employers & Recruiters: When you apply for a job or have enabled visibility in Talent Hub.
