Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how Lazy Frog Technologies Private Limited ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), operating the HiringBlues platform ("Service"), collects, uses, discloses, retains, and otherwise processes information. By accessing or using the Service, you ("User", "you") expressly consent to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly (account details, billing information, candidate and recruiter data uploaded to the platform, job descriptions, communications) and information collected automatically (device identifiers, IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, session duration, cookies, local storage, telemetry, log files, click and interaction events, and approximate geolocation derived from IP).

Where the Service is used by a corporate or agency customer ("Customer"), data about candidates and end-users is processed on behalf of that Customer. The Customer is the controller of such data and is solely responsible for the lawful basis for processing, candidate consent, and downstream use.

2. How We Use Information

• To provide, operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service.
• To train, fine-tune, evaluate, and improve AI features, models, analytics, and aggregated benchmarks, in de-identified or aggregated form.
• To prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and to enforce our Terms.
• To communicate service updates, security alerts, and administrative messages (you cannot opt out of these).
• To comply with applicable law, court orders, and lawful requests by public authorities.
• For any other purpose disclosed at the time of collection or for which you provide consent.

3. Sharing & Disclosure

We may share information with: (a) sub-processors and service providers (hosting, analytics, email, payments, AI inference, background checks); (b) affiliates and successors in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets; (c) law enforcement, regulators, or other parties where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of any person; and (d) with your Customer's administrators where you use the Service through an organizational account.

4. International Transfers

The Service is operated from India and may transfer, process, and store information in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, which may have data-protection laws different from your own. By using the Service you consent to such transfers.

5. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active, as needed to provide the Service, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce our agreements. Backup copies, audit logs, and aggregated or de-identified data may be retained indefinitely.

6. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is fully secure. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we do not warrant or guarantee absolute security and disclaim liability for unauthorized access not caused by our gross negligence.

7. Your Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal information by contacting privacy@hiringblues.app. We may verify your identity before responding and may refuse or charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests. Where data is processed on behalf of a Customer, we will direct requests to that Customer.

8. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies, local storage, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, analytics, and product improvement. By continuing to use the Service you consent to these technologies. You can disable cookies in your browser, but parts of the Service may not function correctly.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware of such collection we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party services. We are not responsible for, and disclaim all liability arising from, the privacy practices or content of such third parties.

11. Changes

We may modify this Policy at any time in our sole discretion. Changes are effective upon posting. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
