Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Hire Gate is a recruitment agency based in Albania that connects candidates with employers across Albania and Europe. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you have over it. For any privacy question or request, contact us at hiregate2022@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

• Candidates: name, email, phone, country, desired position, the contents of your CV, job applications, saved jobs, interview details and messages you exchange with us.
• Employers: company name, contact person, phone and the details of your hiring requests.
• Account data: if you register, your email and an encrypted password managed by our authentication provider.
• Technical data: basic, standard server logs needed to operate and secure the website.

3. How we use your data

We use your data to match candidates with suitable roles, to share relevant candidate profiles with prospective employers, to respond to enquiries, to manage applications and interviews, and to operate and improve our service. We rely on your consent and on our legitimate interest in providing recruitment services.

4. Sharing your data

We share candidate information with employers only for the purpose of recruitment. We also use trusted service providers to run the website — hosting, database and email delivery — who process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards. We do not sell your personal data.

5. How we protect CVs

Uploaded CVs are stored privately. They are not publicly accessible and can only be opened through short-lived, access-controlled links by our team or by you as the owner of the document.

6. Data retention

We keep your data only as long as necessary for recruitment purposes or as required by law. You may ask us to delete your data at any time, subject to any legal retention obligations.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us at hiregate2022@gmail.com.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
