1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide when you create an account, sign in, apply for jobs, save jobs, create job alerts, post jobs, request employer verification, register for courses, make payments, subscribe to updates, contact support, or use our forms.
This may include your name, email address, phone number, location, professional details, resume or CV, profile information, application answers, job preferences, company name, company website, professional email, LinkedIn profile, business location, messages, uploaded files, and support requests.
2. Account, Authentication, and Profile Data
When you sign in with email, password, Google, or another supported authentication method, we may process account identifiers, email addresses, profile names, avatar images, login timestamps, and authentication status so we can create and secure your account.
If you use third-party sign-in, the provider may share limited account information with us according to your settings and the provider's privacy policy.
3. Job Applications and Employer Data
When job seekers apply for roles, we process the information needed to submit, track, and update applications. Employers may access application details for jobs they manage, including applicant names, contact details, resumes, answers, and application status.
When employers request verification or post jobs, we process company information to review legitimacy, prevent abuse, approve or reject access, publish jobs, and send related email notifications.
4. Payments and Upgrades
When you purchase an upgrade, course, or paid service, payment details may be processed by third-party payment providers. Growvelt may receive transaction references, payment status, amount, currency, plan type, customer email, and related records needed to confirm purchases and provide services.
We do not intentionally store full card numbers or sensitive banking credentials on our own servers.
5. How We Use Information
- To provide accounts, courses, job listings, applications, saved jobs, job alerts, employer tools, and support.
- To review employer verification requests and job posts.
- To send application updates, job alerts, admin emails, course updates, transactional messages, and support replies.
- To process payments, upgrades, refunds where applicable, and service access.
- To improve website performance, security, user experience, content, and platform quality.
- To detect fraud, spam, fake jobs, account abuse, security incidents, or policy violations.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Technical Data
We may collect technical information such as device type, browser, IP address, pages visited, referring pages, session activity, and interaction data. We may use cookies or similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, improve performance, and understand how people use the website.
7. When We Share Information
We may share information with service providers who help us operate Growvelt, including hosting, database, authentication, storage, email delivery, analytics, payments, security, and customer support providers.
We may share job application information with the relevant employer or recruiter. We may share information if required by law, to protect users, to investigate abuse, to enforce our terms, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
We do not sell personal information as a standalone product.
8. External Links and Partner Jobs
Growvelt may link to external employer websites, partner job boards, payment pages, social media pages, or third-party resources. Their privacy practices are controlled by them, not Growvelt. Please review their policies before submitting personal information.
9. Data Retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide services, maintain accounts, support applications, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our terms. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it is used.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so users should also protect their passwords, devices, and account access.
11. Your Choices and Rights
You may update certain account details, manage preferences, unsubscribe from optional emails, or contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of personal information where applicable by law.
Some information may need to be retained for legal, security, payment, anti-fraud, or legitimate business reasons.
12. Children's Privacy
Growvelt services are not intended for children who are not legally able to use online services without appropriate consent. If we learn that we collected information from a child in a way that violates applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete or restrict it.
13. International Users
By using Growvelt, you understand that your information may be processed in countries where our service providers, hosting systems, or business operations are located. We take reasonable steps to protect information according to this policy.
