Privacy policy

Your information stays yours.

How Apply.mu handles candidate information under the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017.

Current information

Effective 31 August 2026

What we collect

Account and contact details, profile content, education, experience, preferences, application answers, consent records, saved searches, device security data, CV metadata and, when you accept an employer challenge, your answers, timings, progress and per-game results.

CV files are kept in private storage and are only made available through authorised platform workflows.

Why we use it

We use this information to authenticate you, operate your profile, match relevant early-career jobs, submit applications you authorise, prevent abuse, communicate application updates and meet legal obligations.

Who receives it

A submitted application is shared with the employer named on that application and service providers needed to operate the platform. If that employer sends a challenge, they receive each game’s score, completion metrics, integrity warnings and any adjustment request you choose to send. They do not receive a hidden intelligence, personality or employability score. Drafts, saved jobs, accessibility settings and general profile data are not automatically sent to employers.

How long we keep it

Application records are scheduled for deletion or review after 24 months. Drafts, alerts and saved jobs remain while your account is active. Security records are kept only as long as reasonably needed.

An employer may have its own lawful retention duties after receiving an application.

Your rights

You may access, correct, export, object to certain processing, request restriction or erasure, and withdraw optional communication preferences. Download your data or request deletion from account settings.

You may also complain to the Mauritius Data Protection Office if you believe your rights have not been respected.

Automated decisions and challenge scoring

Recommendations and search ranking help discovery only. Apply.mu does not make hiring decisions or automatically reject candidates.

Challenge results are calculated separately for each game using the disclosed mix of accuracy, task progress and pace. The result supports a person reviewing the application; it cannot automatically advance or reject you. You may ask the employer for an adjustment, decline a challenge, request human review, and export or challenge the information held about you.
