Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

Empregara is a job board operated from Brazil for candidates, employers, and visitors, including people in the United States. This policy explains how we handle personal information when you browse jobs, create an account, apply, post a job, subscribe to alerts, or use other services. Features described as available when enabled, including paid plans, may not yet be offered.

Information we collect

  • Account and contact details: name, email address, phone number, account type, password hash, verification and sign-in information. If you choose Google sign-in, we receive the name and email address made available through that sign-in.
  • Candidate information: resumes and extracted text, LinkedIn profile URL, work history, education, skills, certifications, location and work preferences, salary expectations, work authorization information, and other details you provide or confirm. A resume may contain additional personal information that you choose to include.
  • Applications: the job selected, the resume chosen for that application, your name, email, phone number, optional message, submission time, and application history. Starting an application or uploading a resume does not itself submit it to an employer.
  • Optional screening interviews: written answers and, only when you consent to recording, private voice recordings and transcripts. The hiring employer can review these answers after your application is submitted.
  • Employer information: company and representative details, job listings, application contact addresses, correspondence, and recruitment activity.
  • Communications: support messages, newsletter and job-alert preferences, subscription and unsubscribe records, email delivery events, and link clicks in emails we send.
  • Usage and security data: IP address, browser and device information, page activity, cookie identifiers, referral data, timestamps, error and security logs, and abuse-prevention signals. CAPTCHA providers may collect information when their challenge is displayed.
  • Outbound link measurement: destination site, a hashed destination path, page of origin, click time, and a pseudonymous account or session identifier so we can count total and repeated visits. We do not store destination query strings in this click log.
  • Billing information, if paid plans are enabled: plan, Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, subscription status, renewal dates, and checkout or invoice events. Stripe collects payment method and billing details during checkout; Empregara does not need your full card number to manage a subscription.

We receive information directly from you, from your use of the service, from employers and job-data sources, and from providers you choose to use, such as Google sign-in and, if enabled, Stripe checkout. Public job listings imported from outside sources may include a business contact's name or application email address.

How we use information

  • Provide accounts, profiles, job listings, search, saved jobs, applications, and employer recruiting tools.
  • Extract resume details to help you build an editable profile and identify potentially relevant jobs.
  • Send an application to the employer or application contact only after you complete the final submission step. The recipient may contact you and handle your information under its own privacy practices.
  • Send account verification, application, security, and service messages; send job alerts and newsletters according to the applicable subscription settings and provide unsubscribe options for promotional messages.
  • Operate subscriptions, invoices, customer support, fraud controls, and tax or accounting records if paid services are activated.
  • Analyze service performance, measure email engagement, prevent abuse, secure the site, and comply with applicable law.

Resumes, AI, and applications

When you ask Empregara to read a resume, we may extract text or images from the file and send relevant content to an AI service provider to suggest profile fields. We may also use automated rules to organize your profile and suggest jobs. Extracted details can be incomplete or inaccurate, so you can review and edit your profile before submitting an application. Empregara does not make the employer's hiring decision.

For an application submitted through Empregara, the employer or designated application contact receives the details needed to review it, including the selected resume and any message. A copy of an application resume may be made available through a file link to support that delivery. Do not include sensitive information in your resume unless you want the application recipient to see it. Some listings instead link to an external application site; following that link takes you to a separate service, and Empregara does not automatically send your profile or resume to that site.

For a participating Recruiter employer, an optional interview may appear after you submit an application. AI can draft job-specific questions, and a speech-to-text provider processes a voice answer if you choose to record one. We store audio privately and make it available to that employer for application review. Automated scoring and comparative ranking are disabled by default; if activated after required audit and notice steps, we will display a notice and audit information before you answer. No interview response automatically rejects a candidate. You may submit the application without recording or answering the interview.

Paid services and Stripe

Subscription billing is currently prepared but remains disabled until paid plans are launched. If you later choose a paid candidate or employer plan, Stripe will handle checkout and payment processing under Stripe's privacy policy. We will receive the information needed to recognize your subscription, manage access, provide billing support, and meet legal recordkeeping requirements. We do not store full payment card numbers in the Empregara application. A future paid feature, including expanded AI analysis or job matching, will be described at the point of purchase before it is enabled.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Essential cookies keep sessions, sign-in, security controls, and preferences working. We use Google Analytics to measure site use; our cookie banner lets you accept or decline its optional analytics storage. Public pages may also load Google advertising technology. Advertising providers may receive online identifiers, device data, and information about your interaction with those pages and may use them for advertising under their own policies. Declining analytics cookies does not currently disable all advertising technology. Depending on the applicable law and how advertising is configured, disclosure of online identifiers for targeted advertising may be treated as a sale or sharing of personal information, even when no money is paid for that information.

You can adjust browser cookie settings and advertising preferences, and email contact@empregara.com to request an applicable advertising opt-out. Browser-level privacy signals and advertising controls may require additional technical handling; we do not represent the current cookie banner as a complete opt-out from personalized advertising.

Who receives information

  • Employers and application contacts: information in an application you finalize, so they can assess and respond to it.
  • Service providers: hosting, file storage, email delivery, security and CAPTCHA, analytics, advertising, and AI resume processing providers; Stripe joins this group when paid billing is enabled. These providers process information needed for their roles and may also have their own privacy policies where they act independently.
  • Legal and business recipients: authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary for safety, security, or the protection of rights; a successor in a merger, sale, or reorganization.

We do not offer candidate resumes or application contents for sale. Advertising disclosures described above are separate from sharing an application with an employer.

Retention and security

We retain account and profile information while the account is active and as needed for the purposes above. Unverified accounts are eligible for cleanup after seven days. Applications, employer correspondence, and related records may remain for recruiting, dispute resolution, and legal purposes even if a profile is changed later. We retain subscription and transaction records for applicable tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and dispute periods; Stripe may retain its own records under its policies. Logs, email preference records, and security data are kept as needed to operate and protect the service. Where a fixed period is not stated, we use the time reasonably necessary for the purpose and then delete or de-identify the information, subject to legal holds and backup cycles.

We use access controls, password hashing, and other reasonable safeguards. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Because we operate from Brazil and use service providers in other countries, your information may be processed outside your state or country of residence.

Your choices and U.S. privacy rights

You can edit your candidate profile, manage alerts, use unsubscribe links in promotional emails, and request account deletion. Depending on your state and whether its privacy law applies to Empregara, you may also have rights to know or access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information; opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or profiling; limit certain uses of sensitive information; and appeal a denied request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right provided by applicable law. Some requests have legal exceptions, and we may need to verify your identity or an authorized agent's authority before acting.

To make a privacy request, including an advertising opt-out or appeal, email contact@empregara.com with “Privacy request” in the subject and describe the request and the email address associated with your account, if any. Please do not email us a password, full payment card number, or a copy of your resume merely to make a request. We will respond as required by applicable law. If an employer to whom you applied needs to correct or delete its separate copy of your application, that employer may need to handle the request directly.

Children and changes to this policy

Empregara is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child under 13 supplied information to us, contact us so we can review and remove it as appropriate. We may update this policy when our practices or services change. We will post the revised date here and provide additional notice when required by law.
