Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

At Jobyhood, your privacy is fundamental to everything we build. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Data Controller

Jobyhood Ltd., registered in Sofia, Bulgaria, is the data controller responsible for your personal data. You can reach our Data Protection Officer at dpo@jobyhood.com.

2. Data We Collect

We collect information you provide directly: name, email, phone number, and company details for company accounts. Through platform usage, we collect AI conversation data used for profile building, XP progress and skill assessments, job preferences and matching data, and usage analytics. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as race, religion, or health information.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide AI-powered job matching, build and maintain your professional profile, calculate XP points and track career progress, communicate with you about your account and matches, and improve our platform and matching algorithms. Legal basis: contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Anonymous Profiles

By default, your profile is anonymous to companies. They can see your skills, XP level, and assessment results, but not your identity. You have full control over when and to whom you reveal your personal information.

5. Data Sharing

We share your data only with companies you choose to reveal your identity to, service providers who help us operate the platform (under data processing agreements), and legal authorities when required by law. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. After account deletion, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Anonymized and aggregated data may be retained for analytics purposes.

7. Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access your personal data, rectify inaccurate data, erase your data (right to be forgotten), restrict processing, data portability, object to processing, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@jobyhood.com or use the settings in your account.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, regular security audits, access controls and authentication, and EU-based data hosting.

9. Cookies

We use essential cookies for platform functionality and optional analytics cookies to improve our services. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes via email and update the "last updated" date.
