Internville personnel do not have access to your actual password in readable form. Passwords are handled through appropriate authentication and security mechanisms.

6. Public Profile
Internville may provide Candidates with a shareable Public Profile accessible through a URL such as:internville.com/u/{username}
The Public Profile is designed to provide a professional presence on Internville while limiting the amount of personal information visible to visitors who are not logged in.
6.1 Information visible to visitors who are not logged in
For privacy reasons, Internville may mask or restrict the majority of Candidate Profile information from visitors who are not logged in. Non-logged-in visitors may generally see only:- name;
- primary role;
- location; and
- social or professional profile links.
6.2 Information available to logged-in users
Users who are logged in to Internville may be able to access additional Candidate Profile information, depending on:- the Platform’s functionality;
- applicable profile visibility settings;
- the relationship between the users; and
- the purpose for which the information is made available.
6.3 Mobile number visibility
Where Internville provides a setting allowing a Candidate to make their mobile number visible, the Candidate controls whether that information is made available through the applicable profile functionality. Candidates should review their visibility settings carefully before making contact information available.7. Online Resume
Internville may automatically generate an Online Resume using information contained in your Candidate Profile. The Online Resume may organize information such as:- professional summary;
- education;
- work experience;
- internships;
- skills;
- projects;
- certifications;
- achievements; and
- other Candidate Profile information
8. Downloadable PDF Resume
Internville may allow Candidates to generate and download a PDF version of their resume. A Candidate may download their own PDF Resume for personal use, including sharing it outside Internville. An Employer or authorized Company Administrator may be permitted to download a Candidate’s PDF Resume when the Candidate has applied for a Job or Internship Listing associated with the relevant Company Profile. A non-logged-in visitor cannot download a Candidate’s PDF Resume merely because the Candidate has a Public Profile. The availability of a Public Profile therefore does not mean that a Candidate’s complete profile or PDF Resume is publicly downloadable. Employers and Company Administrators who receive Candidate resumes are expected to use them only for legitimate recruitment or related purposes and in accordance with applicable law.9. Employer Information
If you use Internville for recruitment activities, we may collect information associated with your Employer functionality, including:- name;

11. Creating or Claiming a Company

To complete the company creation or claiming process, Internville requires verification through a work email address that corresponds to the domain of the Company’s website. For example, if a Company’s website uses the domaincompany.com, an appropriate work email may be name@company.com.
We may process:
- the work email address;
- email-domain information;
- Company information;
- information about the User requesting access;

- download Candidate resumes where permitted;
- shortlist Candidates;
- archive applications;
- reject Candidates;
- accept Candidates; and
- perform other authorized recruitment activities.
13. Job and Internship Listings
Jobs and Internships on Internville are created and published through Company Profiles. An individual User does not independently publish a Listing solely through their personal Employer functionality. To create or submit a Listing, a User must have an appropriate claim to or authorized administrative access to the relevant Company Profile. We may collect information contained in Listings, including:- position or internship title;
- job description;
- responsibilities;
- qualifications;
- location;
- work arrangement;
- compensation information;
- duration;
- eligibility requirements;
- application requirements;
- Company information;
- Listing status;
- publication and expiry information;
- information about the User who created or managed the Listing; and

14. Compensation Information

Where compensation information is provided by an Employer or Company, we may collect and process information such as:- compensation amount;
- currency;
- minimum amount;
- maximum amount;
- stipend information;
- pay frequency; and
- other compensation-related information.
15. Job Applications
When a Candidate applies for a Job or Internship Listing, we may collect and process information relating to the application. This may include:- the Candidate’s identity;
- Candidate Profile information;
- resume information;
- PDF Resume information;
- position applied for;
- Company Profile;
- application date;
- application status;
- application responses;
- communications;
- interview-related information;
- withdrawal information;

16. How Candidate Information Is Used in Recruitment

- evaluate the Candidate;
- review relevant qualifications;
- contact the Candidate;
- conduct interviews;
- shortlist the Candidate;
- archive or reject the application;
- progress the Candidate through recruitment;
- make an offer; or
- otherwise manage the recruitment process.
17. Application and Company Continuity
Because Jobs and Internships are associated with Company Profiles rather than individual Employer accounts, an individual Employer leaving the Company does not necessarily remove the Company’s Listings or recruitment records. Where another authorized Company Administrator remains, the Company may continue managing its Listings and applications. If no authorized Company Administrator remains, Internville may restrict the Company’s recruitment functionality. In such circumstances, associated Listings may stop accepting new applications and may become expired or otherwise unavailable. Previously submitted applications and related information may continue to be retained and processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.18. Closing a Company Profile
Internville does not provide a general mechanism for permanently deleting Company Profiles through the normal user interface. An authorized Company Administrator may instead initiate the process of closing a Company Profile. When a Company Profile is closed:- the Company Profile may become unavailable or restricted;
- associated Listings may become unavailable;
- new applications may no longer be accepted;
- Company Administrators may receive communications regarding the closure; and
- relevant Company, Listing, application, administrator, and related information may be retained.
- legal compliance;
- security;
- fraud prevention;
- dispute resolution;
- recordkeeping;
- enforcement of agreements;
- protecting Internville and its users; or
- other legitimate operational purposes.

- legal compliance;
- dispute resolution;
- security;

29. Company Data After an Employer Leaves

If no authorized Company Administrator remains, the Company and its Listings may become restricted as described in this Privacy Policy. This structure is intended to preserve Company continuity while maintaining appropriate controls over who may access Company and Candidate information.30. Privacy Rights

If you provide information about another person, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary permission or lawful basis to provide that information.32. Security
We take reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, authentication mechanisms, security monitoring, and other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the Platform. However, no method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your User Account and notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised.33. International Data Transfers
Internville may use service providers, infrastructure, or technology located in countries other than the country where you reside. As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside your country of residence. Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate measures relating to such transfers.34.
