Introduction

Thanks for using Rooster! Here we describe how we collect, use, and handle your personal data when you use our websites, software, and services (“Services”).

Who “you” are

We refer to “you” a lot in this Privacy Policy. To better understand what information is most relevant to you, see the following useful definitions.

1.1. Recruiters.
You are a user — admin or member — of a Rooster Company Account where you enjoy the extensive features of our recruitment & applicant tracking system.

1.2. Candidates.
You have submitted an application including your personal details under one of the job openings on https://rooster.jobs to the organisation that the job opening belongs to.

1.3. Website Visitors.
You are just visiting one of our websites (https://rooster.jobs, https://app.rooster.jobs) because you are curious or you have heard about us from your peers or us!

1.4. Marketing Subscribers.
You have subscribed to any of our mailing lists, forms or notification systems to stay informed about updates and opportunities at Rooster.
What & Why

We collect and use the following information to provide, improve, protect, and promote our Services.

Rooster’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Information from Google APIs includes information from any Gmail account or Google Calendar account that a User connects to the SaaS. Rooster will not use information from a User’s Gmail account or Google Calendar account for any other purpose than providing the Rooster SaaS.

2.1. Your Data.
Our Services are designed as a simple and personalised way for you to store and share your files, documents, photos, comments, messages, and so on (“Your Data”), communicate with others, and work across multiple devices and services. To make that possible, we store, process, and transmit Your Data as well as information related to it. This related information includes your profile information that makes it easier to collaborate and share Your Data with others, as well as things like the time of file uploads and text submissions and usage activity.

2.2. Usage information.
We collect usage information about you whenever you interact with our websites and Services, including which webpages you visit, what you click on, when you perform those actions, what language preference you have, what actions you take in your account (like sharing, editing, viewing, creating and moving data). We use this information to provide, improve, and promote our Services, and protect Rooster users.

2.3. Device information.
We also collect information from and about the devices you use to access the Services. This includes things like IP addresses, operating system version, the type of browser and device you use, device ID/MAC address, system and performance information, the web page you visited before coming to our sites, and identifiers associated with your devices. If you are on a mobile device we also collect the UUID for that device. Your devices (depending on their settings) may also transmit location information to the Services. For example, we use device information to detect abuse and identify and troubleshoot bugs.

2.4. Cookies and other technologies.
We use technologies like first party and third party cookies and tracking services that employ cookies and page tags (also known as web beacons) to collect data about visitors to our websites and provide, improve, protect, and promote our Services. This data includes usage and user statistics. We use cookies and similar technologies for several reasons:

To gather metrics about your hiring or job search experience.

To make our site easier to use such as storing your username in a cookie to make it quicker for you to sign in whenever you return to Rooster.

For security reasons such as authenticating your identity.

To provide you with personalized content such as storing user preferences.

To improve our Services and optimize the content we display to you (which may include marketing content).

To advertise to you providing more tailored marketing content (about our Services or other services), and to evaluate whether this content is useful or effective. If you don’t want to receive ads that are tailored to you based on your online activity, you may “opt out” of many of the companies that are involved in such tailoring by going to a trusted service provider. Opting out in this way does not mean you will not receive any ads; it just means that you will not receive ads from such companies that have been tailored to you based on your activities and inferred preferences.

For certain Google Analytics features that support Display Advertising, including re-targeting. Visitors to our websites may opt out of certain types of Google Analytics tracking, customize the Google Display Network ads by using the Google Ad Preferences Manager and learn more about how Google serves ads by viewing its Customer Ads Help Center. If you do not wish to participate in Google Analytics, you may also download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You can set your browser to not accept cookies, but this may limit your ability to use the Services. We may also use third-party service providers that set cookies and similar technologies to promote Rooster Services. Emails sent by Rooster or by users through our Services also include page tags that allow the sender to collect information about who opened those emails and clicked on links in them. You can choose to remove or disable cookies via your browser settings.

2.5. Log Data. Like most websites today, our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers. The log files contain data about the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses, internet service providers, the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system versions, device type and timestamps.

2.6. Referral information. If you arrive at a Rooster website from an external source (such as a link on another website or in an email), we record information about the source that referred you to us.

2.7. Information from third parties and integration partners. We collect your personal information from third parties where, for example, you give permission to those third parties to share your information with us or where you have made that information publicly available online.

2.8. Marketing. We give users the option to use some of our Services free of charge. These free Services are made possible by the fact that some users upgrade to one of our paid Services. If you register for our Services, we will, from time to time, send you information about upgrades when permissible. Users who receive these marketing materials can opt out at any time. If you don’t want to receive a particular type of marketing material from us, click the ‘unsubscribe’ link in the corresponding emails, or update your preferences on your account settings page. We sometimes contact people who don’t have a Rooster account. For recipients in the EU, we or a third party will obtain consent before reaching out. If you receive an email and no longer wish to be contacted by Rooster, you can unsubscribe and remove yourself from our contact list via the message itself.

2.9. Account Information. If you are are Recruiter we may also collect Account Information, such as:

Account settings. You can set various preferences and personal details on pages like your account settings page.Use of some of our Services will also result in us collecting the following data on your behalf:

How

4.1. Security.
We have a team dedicated to keeping your information secure and testing for vulnerabilities.

4.2. User Controls.
You can access, amend, download, and delete your personal information by logging into your Rooster account and going to your account settings page.

4.3. Retention.
When you sign up for an account with us, we’ll retain information you store on our Services for as long as your account exists or as long as we need it to provide you the Services. If you delete your account, we’ll initiate deletion of this information after 30 days. But please note: (a) there might be some latency in deleting this information from our servers and back-up storage; and (b) we may retain this information if necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. If you are a Candidate, you will need to ask the Recruiter how long your data will be stored in Rooster Services and your Recruiter’s other domains (which Rooster does not have control over).

4.4. Safety of Minors.
Our Services are not intended for and may not be used by minors. “Minors” are individuals under the age of 13 (or under a higher age if permitted by the laws of their residence). Rooster does not knowingly collect personal data from Minors or allow them to register. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data from a Minor, we may delete this information without notice. If you have reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact customer support.

Change or correct personal data. You can manage your account and the content contained in it, as well as edit some of your personal data, through your account settings page.

Search Engines. Many of our Services let you share information with others. Remember that when you share information publicly, it can be indexable by search engines. Our Services provide you with different options on sharing and deleting your content but we cannot delete content from search engines so you need to be careful about information you make public. 6.2.

Rooster can be a data controller of data about Candidates only in the very limited ways described in Pt. 2., “What & Why”.

Changes

If we’re involved in a reorganisation, merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets, your data may be transferred as part of that deal. We’ll notify you (for example, via a message to the email address associated with your account) of any such deal and outline your choices in that event. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, and will post the most current version on our website.
