Privacy policy
This explains what happens to the information you give Verzes when you apply. It is short because we collect little.
Who we are
Verzes, based in Lisbon, Portugal. We are the data controller for everything described here. For anything on this page, write to hello@verzes.com.
What we collect, and why
- Your application. Name, email, optional phone, country and city, your English level, your links, your written summary and your CV. We use it to assess your application and, if you are shortlisted, to introduce you to companies. Without it there is nothing to assess.
- The record of your consent. The exact wording you agreed to, when you agreed to it, and a truncated form of your IP address — the network, not the device. We keep it to evidence that consent was given, and it is truncated because the full address is more than we need.
- Analytics, only if you accept them. See the cookie page. Decline and nothing is loaded.
Where it is stored
In the European Union, on Cloudflare infrastructure, in a database created with EU jurisdiction. Your CV is stored privately: it is never publicly linkable, and it is served only to signed-in Verzes staff, as a download.
Who sees it
Our own team, always. A company, only if we shortlist you and only for a specific introduction that we tell you about. We do not sell your details, we do not add you to a database other recruiters can search, and we do not send your CV anywhere speculatively.
How long we keep it
If we do not take your application forward, we delete it within twelve months. If we do, we keep it while we are working together and for two years afterwards, so that we can pick things up again if you come back to us. You can ask us to delete it sooner at any point, and we will.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of everything we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or withdraw your consent. Email hello@verzes.com and we will answer within one month. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to your national data protection authority — in Portugal that is the CNPD.
Changes
If this changes materially we will say so here. Records already held keep the consent wording that was actually shown to the person at the time.
