LnqHub ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who use our platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information in connection with our referral-based hiring marketplace.

Payment information: bank account or payment details collected and stored by Stripe.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Create, verify, and manage your account.
Facilitate connections between Clients, Referrers, and Candidates.
Process placement fees and referral bonus payouts.
Mask candidate contact details until an offer is extended.
Communicate with you about your account, placements, and Platform updates.
Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or security incidents.

3. Candidate Data and Masking

Candidates submitted through the Platform are presented to Clients with their contact details masked. Client access to unmasked candidate information is only granted upon formal extension of an offer. Referrers may choose to remain anonymous to Clients throughout the hiring process.

LnqHub is not responsible for how Clients or Referrers use candidate information after it is disclosed in accordance with these practices. We require all users to handle candidate data lawfully and respectfully.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

With other Platform users as necessary to facilitate a referral or placement (subject to masking rules described above).
With service providers who process data on our behalf, including Stripe (payments), Firebase (authentication), and our identity verification provider.
With law enforcement or regulatory authorities if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of LnqHub, our users, or the public.
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, with appropriate confidentiality protections.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you close your account, we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention) for a period of up to seven (7) years.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including:

Authentication via Firebase with two-factor authentication (email 2FA for Clients, phone 2FA for Referrers).
Audit logging of actions taken on the Platform.
Payment processing through Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant.
Identity verification through a third-party provider.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but will notify you promptly in the event of a breach affecting your personal information, as required by applicable law.

7. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for session management, security, and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the Platform. We do not use cookies for advertising purposes.
