Terms & Conditions

OUR SERVICES 

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

Screener is a service that provides tailored job application support, including CV optimization and job application submission on behalf of users. Screener offers a pay-per-interview model. Under this model, users provide their CVs and preferences, and Screener applies to job opportunities on their behalf. Screener may make modifications to CVs and cover letters to align with job requirements and optimize applications while adhering to ethical standards. By accessing or using our services, you agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions (“Legal Terms”). Please read them carefully.

The Services are designed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Portuguese Data Protection Act (Lei de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, Lei n.º 58/2019). The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations such as those governing financial institutions (e.g., Banco de Portugal regulations) or healthcare data (e.g., Portuguese National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) guidelines). Therefore, if your interactions would be subject to such laws, you may not use the Services in a way that would violate those regulations.
