1. Information We Collect

User Profile Information

When you create a user profile on BD Tech Jobs, we collect and store the following information to provide personalized job recommendations and improve your experience:

• Basic profile information (name, email address, contact details)
• Professional information (skills, experience level, job preferences)
• Resume content analysis (we extract relevant information for job matching but do not store the actual resume file)
• Location and career preferences
• Education and certification details

What We Don't Store

Important: We do NOT store your actual resume files on our servers. When you upload a resume, we analyze it to extract relevant professional information for job matching purposes, then securely delete the file. Only the extracted information is retained in your profile.

Anonymous Browsing

Users can browse job listings without creating an account. For anonymous users, we do not collect any personal information beyond basic website analytics and preference cookies.

We use the information we collect exclusively for the following purposes:

• Personalized Job Recommendations: Matching your skills and preferences with relevant job opportunities

• Service Improvement: Enhancing our job matching algorithms and user experience
• Communication: Sending you relevant job alerts and platform updates (only if you opt-in)

3. Profile Privacy and Visibility

Your Profile is Private: Your user profile and all associated information is completely private and visible only to you. No other users, employers, or third parties can access your profile information.

What This Means:

• Employers cannot see your profile unless you explicitly apply to their jobs through external platforms
• Other job seekers cannot view your information
• Your resume information is not searchable by third parties
• We do not create a public profile or directory of users

4. How Our Service Works

BD Tech Jobs operates as both a job aggregation platform and a personalized job matching service:
