"HuntByte" website (hereinafter referred to as "this website") is provided by "HuntByte Tech Co. Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") and offers talent matchmaking services. This policy ensures the protection of user privacy and compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). The policy explains how the Company collects, processes, uses, transfers, and safeguards your data. By using this website, you consent to this policy. For inquiries, please contact us.

1. Personal Data Security and Notice Statement

1. The Company collects data to provide job-seeking and recruitment services. Data categories may include personal and professional details necessary for service provision.
2. Personal Data Use:
   • Period: As required by legal or business purposes.
   • Region: Taiwan and outside Taiwan.
   • Recipients: Includes contracted recruiters, companies, and lawful entities.
   • Method: Electronically or via other suitable technologies as per law.
   • Duration: The duration for which personal data is collected, the contractual period for providing services to recruiting companies, or the period necessary for the company's business purposes and as required by law for personal data retention.
   • Region: Taiwan and regions outside Taiwan.
   • Parties:
     1. Our company, headhunting consultants contracted with our company, recruiting companies, and third parties working with our company for purposes aligned with the specified purpose of data collection.
     2. Data processing or usage as required by law or requested by competent authorities.
     3. Government agencies executing duties as mandated by law.
   • Method:
     1. By electronic documents, paper, or other appropriate methods in line with current technology.
     2. Usage in compliance with Article 20 of the Personal Data Protection Act.
3. According to Article 3 of the Personal Data Protection Act, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
   • You may inquire, request to review, or request a copy of your personal data from our company. Our company may charge necessary fees according to Article 14 of the Act.
   • You may request our company to supplement or correct your personal data, provided that you give adequate explanation as required by law.
   • You may request our company to cease collection, processing, or use of your personal data, and you may also request deletion of the data.
4. When our company needs to collect, process, or use your personal data for the purposes mentioned above, you have the freedom to choose whether to provide it. However, if you choose not to provide the data or provide incomplete data, our company may be unable to deliver complete services due to responsibilities in talent selection and recommendation.

2. AI Professional Photos:

1. When you choose to use AI Professional Photos, we collect the reference photo you upload to generate a 1000×1000 professional portrait and let you preview, apply, and manage the result.
2. To provide generation, we may send the necessary reference photo and fixed generation instructions to a contracted third-party image-generation provider. Processing may occur outside Taiwan. Users cannot submit free-form prompts; the feature uses only predefined professional-photo styles.
3. After an upload passes the quality check, we convert it into a normalized reference photo with orientation corrected and EXIF and other metadata removed, then store it privately with the completed photo. Normalized reference photos are kept for 30 days, and completed photos are kept for at least 365 days. After that, older photos may be removed as storage is managed, so download any photo you want to keep long term. During the reference-photo retention period, only authorized staff with the dedicated permission may sample the reference and completed photo to review whether the result preserves your identity. You can access these files through the authenticated feature and delete private reference and completed photos from the feature.
4. A photo that fails the quality check does not appear in your photo library and has no individual delete action. To verify rejection reasons and improve quality checks, we retain an orientation-corrected JPEG copy with EXIF and other metadata removed and its longest edge capped at 1536 pixels for up to 7 days. Only authorized staff with the dedicated permission can view it, and it is deleted automatically when the period ends. You may still request earlier deletion under the rights described in this policy.
5. Photos you apply to a digital card are displayed according to that card's visibility settings and are retained until you replace or delete them. Do not upload photos of another person, unauthorized images, or images containing another person's personal data.

3. AI Writing Tools, Interview Coach, and Data Export:

1. When you use the STAR builder, AI Cover Letter, or AI Interview Coach while signed in, the job, resume and experience text, application motivation, interview answers, and generated content you provide are stored privately in your account.
2. When you try AI Interview Coach while signed out, your resume, role, answer, and generated result are retained for 180 days by default and associated with the same browser through an essential security cookie. The database stores only a one-way hash of that random identifier, and no member account is created.
3. To generate or analyze text, we may send the necessary text and generation instructions to a contracted third-party AI provider. Processing may occur outside Taiwan. Do not enter an ID number, address, or other sensitive information unrelated to career preparation.
4. AI Cover Letter retains up to your 12 most recent successful letters and removes the oldest record after a new letter succeeds once the limit is reached. Your latest STAR result remains until you replace or delete it, and interview records remain until you delete the record or your account. You can also delete saved content from each tool.
5. You can export retained cover letters, your latest STAR result, saved interview records, private AI photo files that passed the quality check and remain within their retention period, quality-rejection records and diagnostics, AI usage, purchases, and the credit ledger from the AI usage center. Rejected-photo review images are never included in the export. The export contains private data and should be stored securely.
6. After you delete AI output, we may retain order, credit-ledger, and lifecycle audit records that do not contain cover-letter, STAR, interview-answer, or photo content for the period necessary to meet transaction, accounting, security, and dispute-resolution obligations.
