Privacy Policy
At ZSM Recruiting, we are strongly committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This privacy policy (“Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, and share Personal Data that we collect through the ZSM Recruiting website located at zsmrecruiting.com (the “Website”) and the service provided thereon (the “Service”).
By using or accessing the Websites and the Service, you signify your agreement to be bound by this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE OUR SERVICE OR PARTICIPATE IN OUR SERVICES.
Key aspects of our privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy include the following explanations:
- The information we collect and why we collect it;
- How we use that information;
- How we share information; and
- The choices we offer.
Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect:
We may collect personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that you voluntarily provide when using the Service. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Your name
- Contact details (such as email address, phone number, and mailing address)
- Your resume or employment-related information (e.g., job history, skills, salary expectations)
- IP address or device information
- Any other information you choose to share with us, such as through contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, or client inquiries
Non-Personal or Aggregate Information That We Collect:
When you access our Service, we may automatically collect non-personally identifiable information such as your IP address, pages viewed, browser type, operating system, referring service, search terms, device type, and general usage or browsing behavior on the site. We may also collect aggregated demographic data (e.g., the number of users from a specific region) in a way that does not identify any individual.
We may combine this non-personal information with data collected offline, from third parties, or by anonymizing previously collected personal data.
While our intention is to only collect non-personal data through these methods, there may be rare instances where personally identifiable information is inadvertently gathered. If you believe this has occurred, please contact us at info@zsmrecruiting.com so we can promptly address the issue.

- We may use your personally identifiable information to provide and improve the Service.
