This policy explains what personal data ZikRme collects when you apply through our Career Portal, how it is used, how long it is kept, and what rights you have. By submitting any application form, you agree to this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect structured data to evaluate your candidacy fairly and manage our recruitment pipeline. This includes:
- Professional & Academic History: Resumes, cover letters, qualifications, transcripts, certifications, employment history, and references.
- Skills & Assessment Data: Portfolios, GitHub links, design files, test submissions, assignment responses, and interview performance metrics.
How We Use Your Information
Your data is strictly used for legitimate recruitment and organizational operations:
- Assessing your skills, qualifications, and suitability for the applied role or internship.
- Verifying the authenticity of information, certificates, and references provided.
- Communicating with you regarding your application status, interview schedules, or future matching opportunities.
- Improving our hiring workflow, LMS dashboards, and internal evaluation tools.
- Fulfilling regulatory, statutory, or legal obligations.
Data Retention & Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.
If selected, your data transfers into your internal employee/intern record. If not selected, we may retain your resume in our talent pool for up to 12 months to consider you for future roles, after which it is securely deleted.
Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosures
ZikRme does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We only share your information under the following strict conditions:
- Internal Teams: HR personnel, tech leads, project managers, and "Digital Crew" involved in the interview process.
- Service Providers: Trusted third-party tools used for background verification, form hosting, or automation — legally bound to confidentiality.
- Legal Mandates: If required by law, court order, or government authority to comply with legal processes.
Critical Clause: No Guarantee of Selection
Filling out, submitting, or completing any application form, assessment test, or internship interest form on the ZikRme Career Page does not, under any circumstances, guarantee automatic selection, hiring, placement, or a definitive contract for a job or internship.
The submission of a form merely initiates an evaluation process. ZikRme reserves the absolute, unilateral right to reject or accept any candidate based on internal hiring benchmarks, seat availability, skill alignment, and interview performance.
No candidate shall claim a right to employment or internship solely based on the act of filling out an application or participating in the preliminary screening process.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request the deletion of your application data — which will result in the immediate withdrawal of your candidacy.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email provided in Section 8.
Changes to This Policy
ZikRme reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our legal obligations or recruitment practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date."
We recommend reviewing this page periodically. Continued use of the career portal after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
