Privacy Policy
Effective 10 November 2026
This policy explains what personal data jobs.edgalimov.com ("the site", "we") collects, why, who sees it, and how you can get it changed or deleted.
Who is responsible
The site is run by Eduard Galimov, a private individual based in Budapest, Hungary. For data protection law, this person is the data controller.
Contact for anything in this policy: hi@edgalimov.com.
What we collect
If you sign up as talent
- Name, email address and password. We store the password only as a hash, never the password itself.
- Link to your LinkedIn profile.
- Job title and country.
- Your CV as a PDF, if you choose to upload one.
- The text you write when you use quick apply, and which roles you applied to.
- Which company application pages you opened from the site, and when.
- Your search queries on the site.
If you sign up as a company
- Name of the contact person and work email address, and a password (stored as a hash).
- Company name, website and logo.
- The roles you post.
If you request a recruiter introduction
- The brief: the role, what makes it hard to fill, location or time zones, the pay range if you give one, and how soon you need the hire.
- Your name, work email address and company name. If you are signed in as a company, we take them from your account.
You can send a request without an account.
From every visitor
- One cookie, described under "Cookies" below.
- Search queries. If you are not signed in, they are stored without any link to you.
- Your IP address, which the server uses for a short time to limit repeated sign-in attempts and form submissions and to keep the site secure. We keep no access logs of visits to the site. If a request fails with a server error, the web server's error log may record the IP address; that log is rotated automatically.
We do not buy data about you from anyone, and we do not pull data from your LinkedIn profile. The link is stored as you typed it.
Why we use it and on what legal basis
| What we do | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Create and run your account, sign you in, send email confirmation and password reset messages | Performing our agreement with you (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Send your profile, CV and message to a company when you use quick apply | Performing our agreement with you: you ask us to do this each time you apply (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Show a company's name, site, logo and roles on the board | Performing our agreement with the company (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Pass your brief and contact details to a recruiter partner and introduce you by email, when you request an introduction | Steps taken at your request before entering into an agreement, and performing our agreement with you (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Keep your history of opened application pages so you can see it in your account | Performing our agreement with you (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Count sign-ups, searches, visits to application pages and applications, to understand what people look for and improve the board | Our legitimate interest in running and improving the site (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Limit sign-in attempts, prevent spam and abuse, block accounts that break the rules | Our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
We do not use your data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we make no automated decisions about you.
Who sees your data
Companies, only when you use quick apply. When you apply to a quick apply role, the company that posted it sees your profile (name, email, LinkedIn link, job title, country), your message, and your CV if you uploaded one. No other company sees any of this. Each company is responsible for how it handles your application after it receives it.
Companies you reach through an outbound link get nothing from us. Most roles on the board lead to the company's own career page. When you follow such a link, we add a tag to the address that says the visit came from this site. We pass no information about you. Whatever you then submit on the company's site is governed by that company's privacy policy.
A recruiter partner, only when you request an introduction. When you send a recruiter request, we pass your brief, your name, your work email address and your company name to a recruiter partner: an independent recruiter or a recruiting agency we work with. We choose the partner to fit the role and do not name them on the form. You learn who it is when we introduce you by email, and you can ask us at any time who received your request. The partner may be located outside the European Economic Area; in that case we transfer your details because you asked for the introduction (GDPR Art. 49(1)(b)). The partner is responsible for how it handles your details after it receives them. Talent profiles, CVs and applications are never part of a recruiter request.
Statistics. We may share totals that identify no one, for example how many people opened a company's roles in a month.
Service providers that process data for us
| Provider | What it does | What it receives | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hetzner Online GmbH | Hosts the site and its database | Everything stored on the site | EU |
| Resend | Delivers email confirmation and password reset messages | Your email address and the message | United States |
Resend is based in the United States. The transfer of your email address to it is covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, which are part of our agreement with Resend.
We may also disclose data if the law requires it.
Job listings from company career pages
Most roles on the board come from public feeds of hiring systems that companies use for their own career pages (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, Recruitee, Personio). We show them as received. If a listing contains personal data, for example a recruiter's name, and you want it removed, write to hi@edgalimov.com and we will remove it, usually within one business day.
Cookies
The site sets one cookie:
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
sid | Keeps you signed in | 30 days, or until you sign out |
It is set only when you sign up or sign in, and it is necessary for the site to work, so we do not ask for consent. There are no advertising or analytics cookies and no third-party trackers.
How long we keep it
- Account, profile and CV: until you delete them or ask us to delete your account. You can replace or remove your CV in your profile at any time.
- Applications: as long as your account exists.
- History of opened application pages and search queries linked to your account: as long as your account exists. After that they are deleted or kept only in a form that no longer points to you.
- Recruiter requests: 12 months after you send them, then they are deleted. If you have a company account, they are also deleted together with the account. You can ask us to delete a request earlier.
- Company accounts and roles: until the company asks us to delete them. Closed roles stay in the company's dashboard together with their applications.
When you ask us to delete your account, we delete your profile, CV, applications and history from the site within 30 days. Your applications also disappear from the dashboards of the companies you applied to. A company that already downloaded your CV keeps its own copy; ask that company directly to delete it.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can:
- get a copy of the data we hold about you;
- have incorrect data corrected (most of it you can edit in your profile);
- have your data deleted;
- ask us to restrict how we use it, or object to uses based on our legitimate interest;
- receive your data in a portable format.
To use any of these rights, write to hi@edgalimov.com from the email address of your account, or from the one you gave in a recruiter request. We reply within 30 days. It is free.
There is no "delete account" button yet. To delete your account, send an email to the address above.
If you believe we handle your data wrongly, you can complain to the data protection authority in your country, or to the Hungarian authority: Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH), naih.hu.
Security
Passwords and session tokens are stored only as hashes. CVs are stored outside the public part of the site and are served only to you and to companies you applied to. The site is served over HTTPS. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data, we will tell you and the authority as the law requires.
Age
The site is for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone younger.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy in a way that matters, for example a new provider or a new use of your data, we will email registered users before the change takes effect. The date at the top shows the current version.
