Privacy Policy
This policy describes what data HireGuild collects and how it is used, for Workers and Clients using the platform.
1. Who this policy covers
This policy applies to HireGuild (the platform), Workers (individuals placed through HireGuild), and Clients (companies that request talent through HireGuild).
2. What data we collect
From Workers, we collect: name, phone number, country, city, and timezone; availability status; a resume file you upload; your skills and the experience level you set for each; and, if your application is accepted, a delivery address for shipping equipment.
From Clients, we collect company profile information provided when the account is set up.
From both Workers and Clients, we also collect payment method details (the method type and the account or wallet identifier needed to send or process payments), messages sent through the platform's messaging system, and your application or assignment history on HireGuild.
3. Why we collect it
Name, phone, country, city, and timezone are collected at registration to match Workers with suitable roles. Your resume and skills are used during the application review process. A delivery address is only collected after your application is accepted, so that required equipment can be shipped to you; it is not collected at registration.
Client company information is used to review and approve Client accounts before they can submit a Talent Request. Payment method details are used to process worker withdrawals. Messages support the coordination and support conversations built into the platform. Application and assignment history is used to run the recruitment pipeline and manage active placements, including time tracking and payroll.
4. Who we share data with
HireGuild admin staff can access platform data as needed to operate recruitment, assignments, payroll, and support.
If you are a Worker with an active assignment, the Client you're placed with can see information relevant to that assignment, for example, your name and the time entries, milestones, or messages tied to that assignment. Clients do not have access to Workers they are not assigned to.
HireGuild uses Supabase for hosting and database infrastructure, and Resend to send transactional email (such as application and assignment notifications). These providers process data on HireGuild's behalf to operate the platform.
5. Data security
Passwords are never stored in plain text; authentication is handled by Supabase Auth, which stores only a hashed password. Database access is governed by Row Level Security, which restricts each Worker and Client to their own data.
6. Your rights over your data
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by reaching out through our Contact page.
7. Cookies
HireGuild uses a session cookie set by Supabase Auth to keep you signed in while you use the platform. This cookie is required for the platform to function and is not used for advertising or analytics.
8. Changes to this policy
HireGuild may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated before they take effect. Continued use of the platform after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.
9. Contact
For questions about this policy or how your data is handled, reach out through our Contact page.
