Hour Finder
This Privacy Policy describes how Hour Finder (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal data when you use our website and profile-submission services at www.hourfinder.com (the “Services”). It is intended to align with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore (“PDPA”). This Policy does not constitute legal advice.
1. Who we are
Hour Finder operates a platform where individuals may submit profile information to be considered for remote or flexible opportunities that may be facilitated or presented by third-party hiring companies. We are generally not your employer and do not guarantee placement.
Contact: [email protected]
Business correspondence: 10 Raeburn Park, Singapore 088702
2. Personal data we may collect
Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect:
- Identity and contact details — e.g. name, email address, phone number.
- Application information — e.g. role interests, basic background or notes you choose to provide.
- Technical and usage data — e.g. IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP, collected via cookies or similar technologies where applicable.
- Communications — content of emails or messages you send to us for support or enquiries.
We aim to collect only what is reasonably necessary for the purposes below.
3. Purposes of collection, use, and disclosure
We may use your personal data for purposes including:
- Operating the Services and processing your profile submission;
- Considering or presenting your profile in connection with opportunities offered by third-party hiring companies, where you have been informed and consented as required;
- Communicating with you about the platform, your submission, or related enquiries;
- Improving security, preventing fraud or misuse, and complying with legal obligations;
- Analytics and service improvement (often using aggregated or de-identified information where appropriate).
4. Third-party hiring companies
Hour Finder may share relevant profile or application information with third-party hiring companies so they can evaluate suitability for roles. Those companies may contact you directly. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy notices and contracts with you or with us, where applicable. We do not control how hiring companies process personal data once legitimately shared for recruitment purposes.
5. Other disclosures
We may disclose personal data to service providers who assist us (e.g. hosting, email delivery, analytics), subject to appropriate contractual safeguards where required. We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
6. Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, or similar tools to remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect functionality.
7. Retention
We retain personal data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. When data is no longer needed, we take steps to delete, anonymise, or securely archive it.
8. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. No internet transmission is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Overseas transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside Singapore, we will take steps consistent with the PDPA to ensure a comparable standard of protection, such as contractual clauses or your consent where appropriate.
10. Your rights (Singapore)
Subject to the PDPA and exceptions under law, you may have the right to access or correct your personal data held by us, withdraw consent (where processing is consent-based), and in some circumstances request further information about our handling of your data. To exercise these rights or raise a concern, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
11. Withdrawal of consent
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it by contacting us. Withdrawal may affect our ability to provide certain Services (for example, considering your profile for opportunities).
12. Children
The Services are not directed at individuals below the minimum working age applicable in Singapore. Do not submit personal data if you do not meet eligibility requirements described on our site.
13. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change accordingly. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy where permitted by law; material changes may require additional notice or consent.
14. Governing law
This Policy is governed by the laws of Singapore.
