Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 21, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Teklif.az, a community platform that helps job seekers connect with professionals working at companies they want to apply to. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

Privacy First: We do not publicly display your personal information, even if it is publicly available elsewhere. Your name, email, and location are stored securely and used only for the core functionality of our platform.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

We may collect personal information that you provide to us, including:

  • Name and email address (for account management and notifications)
  • Location information (city and country) - used to match support requests
  • Company/workplace information - used to facilitate support requests from job seekers
  • LinkedIn profile URL (when you voluntarily provide it for verification and optional public profile display)
  • Authentication data through our third-party authentication provider (Clerk)
  • Optional public profile information (if you choose to activate a mentor or developer profile) - including services offered, LinkedIn URL, YouTube channel, or GitHub account

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you use our service, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

  • IP address and browser type
  • Device information and operating system
  • Usage data and interaction patterns
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see our Cookie Policy)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Company Mapping: Display companies (not individual users) on our interactive map. When users click on a city, they see a list of companies in that location, not personal information.
  • Support Request System: When a user requests support to apply to a company, we use your company and location information to identify if you work there. If you do, we send you an email notification with the requester's LinkedIn URL. The requester does not know your identity - only we know who works at which company.
  • Email Notifications: Send you email notifications when someone requests support for a company you work at, including the requester's LinkedIn profile URL so you can choose to respond on LinkedIn if you wish.
  • Optional Public Profiles: If you choose to activate a mentor or developer profile, we will display the information you provide (services, LinkedIn, YouTube, GitHub, etc.) publicly to help others find your services.
  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Authenticate and manage user accounts
  • Personalize your experience
  • Monitor and analyze usage patterns
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues
  • Comply with legal obligations

Privacy Protection: Your personal information (name, email, location) is never publicly displayed. Only companies are shown on the map. Your identity remains private unless you choose to activate a public mentor/developer profile.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

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

  • Support Request Notifications: When a user requests support for a company, we send an email to users who work at that company. The email includes the requester's LinkedIn URL. Your email address is used only for this notification - it is not shared with the requester.
  • Service Providers: We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., authentication, hosting, email delivery, analytics)
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests
  • Business Transfers: Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
  • With Your Consent: We may share information with your explicit consent, such as when you activate a public mentor/developer profile

Anonymous Support Requests: When users request support, they do not know who works at the company. Only our system knows, and we use this information solely to send you a notification email if you work at the requested company.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to access your personal information
  • The right to correct inaccurate information
  • The right to delete your personal information
  • The right to restrict or object to processing
  • The right to data portability
  • The right to withdraw consent

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact section below.

7. Third-Party Services

Our service uses third-party services, including Clerk for authentication. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
