Privacy and data practices

Papa ʻOihana supports community job boards, employer teams, and job seekers. This notice describes the information the platform handles and the operational practices currently built into the service.

Information we handle

We process account and contact information, candidate profiles, résumés, job applications, saved searches, employer and board-team records, and security or audit events created when the service is used. Community boards and employers may provide their own public organization and job information.

How information is used

Information is used to authenticate accounts, operate job boards, match people with opportunities, deliver requested notifications, review employers and listings, process applications, prevent abuse, and maintain an auditable service.

Who can access information

Application materials are available only to the candidate and authorized members of the relevant employer or board team. Service providers—including Cloudflare for hosting, storage, and email and Neon for the application database—process information to operate the platform. We do not publish private résumés or application documents.

Optional opportunity recommendations

Signed-in candidates may choose to have published opportunities ranked using their skills, professional headline, biography, location, and saved searches. Each recommendation includes the rules that contributed to the match. Recommendations are off by default, can be disabled in the candidate profile, do not hide the complete job board, and are not shared with employers or used to make hiring decisions.

Retention and deletion

Board-specific retention settings control abandoned drafts, unsuccessful hiring records, pending uploads, and account-deletion requests. Legal holds may temporarily suspend deletion. Required audit and security records may be retained or anonymized when an account is deleted.

Questions and requests

To ask about access, correction, deletion, or these practices, email onaepuni@kanaeokana.net. Do not send passwords, résumé files, or other sensitive documents by email.
