1. Introduction
Indeed values the trust our users and customers place in us when they give us access to their personal data. The Privacy Policy describes how we work to maintain that trust and protect that information.
In particular, this Privacy Policy details our collection, use and disclosure of personal and non-personal data you give to Indeed when you access or use Indeed’s online and/or mobile services and websites, and software provided by Indeed on or in connection with such services or websites (collectively, the “Site”).
All references to Job Seeker and Employer are defined as provided for in the Indeed Terms of Service Introduction. This section determines which Indeed entity acts as the controller of your Personal Data (as defined in section 1.2) provided to, or collected by or for, or processed in connection with our Site.
With respect to Job Seekers, for the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Indeed” or “we” means Indeed, Inc. if you are a Job Seeker located in the United States, or Indeed Ireland Operations Limited if you are a Job Seeker located outside of the United States.
With respect to Employers, “Indeed” or “we” means Indeed, Inc. if you are an Employer located in the United States, Indeed Brasil Pesquisa de Empregos ltda. if you are an Employer located in Brazil, Indeed India Operations (Pte.) Ltd. if you are an Employer located in India, Indeed Singapore Operations (Pte.) Ltd. if you are an Employer in the Asia-Pacific Region, Indeed Ireland Operations Limited if you are a Employer located elsewhere, and Indeed Hire, Inc. if you are receiving the Indeed Hire services. Indeed is the controller for the Personal Data we process, unless otherwise stated in these terms or provided for in a separate agreement.
Personal data (“Personal Data”) refers to any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, and non-personal data (“Non-Personal Data”) refers to any information that does not identify you as a specific individual. Please note that at all times Indeed will adhere to the applicable statutory definition in determining what is and is not Personal Data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. Where this Privacy Policy refers to “information” or “your information” this may include both Personal and Non-Personal Data.
This Privacy Policy covers only data that we collect through the Site, and not any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, the data collection practices of any affiliate or other third party, including any third-party operators of web pages to which the Site links, and any information that we collect offline or through any websites, products, or services that do not display a direct link to this Privacy Policy.
Occasionally, we may refer to this Privacy Policy in notices on the Site, including special purpose web pages, mobile applications, or other resources, for example, if we invite you to submit ideas to improve the Site. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by us through such special purpose resources, as modified in the particular notice (e.g., with respect to the types of data collected or our uses or disclosures of such information). Indeed may amend this Privacy Policy at any time.
Please review the “Last Updated” legend at the top of this page to determine when this Privacy Policy was last amended. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective on the “Last Updated” date indicated above. By using the Site or providing information to us following such changes, you will have accepted the amended Privacy Policy. If Indeed is going to use Personal Data collected through the Site in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection, then Indeed will notify users via email and/or by posting a notice on Indeed’s Site for 30 days prior to such use or by other means as required by law.
Please note this Privacy Policy describes, in a comprehensive manner, how Indeed processes your data. For more information on Indeed’s approach to privacy and GDPR, click here.
You provide different types of information in order for Indeed to provide our services, products and features to you. Indeed associates this information with your Indeed profile.
– From Your Account
We collect data from you when you create an Indeed account, request information, subscribe for a service, participate in a survey, post a rating or review, post a question or answer, post a resume, complete an Indeed Assessment, upload content or otherwise actively send us data on our Site. This may include, but is not limited to, your user name, password, first and last name, email address, telephone number (including mobile phone number), street address, gender, occupation, interests, messages you send to users, and any other data included in a submitted profile or resume, including but not limited to application materials and answers to screener questions submitted to Employers through Indeed and answers you give to any questionnaires sent to you. This information may be associated with your profile. You may provide your specific location data when you provide it yourself on the Indeed Apps to help you find more relevant Job Listings (including from the location service on your mobile device when you grant permission to an Indeed App), or when you submit a photo to Job Spotter that includes the provision of the location data of where the photo was taken. Indeed seeks your consent at the time of such provision, and such processing will only be performed where consent is secured.

In addition, as part of the standard operation of the Site, Indeed may collect and analyze information from your computer or mobile device and actions taken on the Site, including, but not limited to, your resume, your searches on Indeed, the titles of jobs you search, click on or apply to, where those jobs are located, salary interest or experience, the general salary range or experience level of the jobs you view (where indicated), your activity time on the Site and each page, page views, clicks, taps, session activity, browser type, operating system, type of device, MAC address, IP address and the domain name from which you accessed the Site.
– When Using Automated Phone Screening
If you use any automated phone screening product, Indeed will record and store your answers to an Employer’s screening questions and will forward your answers to the Employer. Where you wish to use such a product, you will agree in advance to Indeed listening to and analyzing the recording in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
– When Providing Employer Information
If you are an Employer, Indeed may request that you provide certain Personal Data to Indeed in order to verify your account. This information may include, but may not be limited to, your Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), Business Registration information, or a utility bill, the name and email address of an Employer representative.
This information will be used for internal purposes only, subject to any request by law enforcement or a court order. In connection with chargeable services, we will also collect payment information (e.g., the last four digits of credit card numbers and related verification information). Please note that Indeed only has access to the last four digits of Employer credit card numbers, and does not store full credit card numbers.
