What personal data is shared is determined by the Privacy and Cookie policies of the Platforms you use.
The personal data shared depends on your interaction with the Platforms in the course of your job search and application activities. It may include your first and last name, user name, email address, telephone number, resume/profile information, IP address, advertiser ID, answers to any employer screener questions, job listings, job notifications, application progress, and users’ search, click and session activity on the Platforms.
Your personal data is shared for a few reasons, including to:

- Improve our services
- Facilitate better security for users
More details on the benefits of data sharing are available to you.
When and how your personal data is shared depends on the individual Platform, the type of data being shared, and the actions you take on the Platforms.
For example, our Platforms may use and share your previous search or browsing history (e.g. the jobs you click on) and your resume or profile information to determine relevant search results and job alerts. Specific actions may also automatically initiate sharing, such as opening an account on one of our Platforms.
