Abroad Jobs ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Abroad Jobs mobile application and website located at https://emps.co.in (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Contact Information Access
Important: Our mobile application requests access to your device's contact list for the following specific purposes:
- Recruiter Network Building: Recruiters can sync their professional contacts to build their network within the platform

Photo Selection (No Permissions Required)
Modern Privacy-Friendly Approach: Our mobile application uses the Android Photo Picker for image selection, which provides the following benefits:
- No Permissions Required: We don't request access to your photo library
- User Control: You explicitly choose which photos to share with our app
- Privacy Protection: We only access the specific images you select
- Secure Selection: The system handles photo access, not our app
Photo Selection Uses:
- Profile Pictures: Upload profile photos for your job seeker or recruiter profile
- Job Posting Images: Recruiters can add images to job postings to make them more attractive
- Document Images: Upload photos of certificates or other job-related documents
The Photo Picker ensures your privacy by only allowing access to images you explicitly select, without requiring broad access to your photo library.
