Effective Date: 19th February 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Ansius website and services ("Service"), including Ansius Hirewall, CV matching tools, job posting services, and related features.

2a. Data Processing Relationships

For Candidates Applying to Jobs: When you apply for a job through Ansius public job pages, Ansius collects and processes your application data. Ansius acts as a data controller for hosting the job pages and collecting your data. Your application data is also shared with the employer or recruiter who posted the job, who acts as a separate controller for evaluating your candidacy. Please review our Privacy Policy for details about how Ansius processes your data.

For Employers/Recruiters Using Hirewall: When you use Ansius Hirewall to post jobs and manage candidates, you are the data controller for candidate data used for recruitment purposes. Ansius processes candidate data on your behalf as a data processor. This relationship is governed by our Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of these Terms. By using Hirewall, you agree to the Data Processing Agreement and acknowledge your responsibilities as a data controller under applicable data protection laws.

3. Data Protection and Privacy

Your use of Ansius is subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. If you are an employer or recruiter using Hirewall, you are also subject to our Data Processing Agreement, which governs how we process candidate data on your behalf.

By using Ansius, you agree to comply with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR where applicable. If you are an employer or recruiter, you are responsible for ensuring you have a valid legal basis for processing candidate data and for providing appropriate privacy notices to candidates.

4. Payments and Refunds

• Payments are processed securely via Stripe. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe's terms and policies.
• All fees are stated in USD unless otherwise specified. Prices may change at any time, but changes will not affect purchases already completed.
• All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as explicitly stated in our refund policy.
• If you are located in a jurisdiction that provides statutory refund rights (e.g., EU consumer protection laws), those rights remain unaffected.
• If you believe you are entitled to a refund, contact us at hello@ansius.com with details of your purchase and the reason for the refund request.
• We reserve the right to refuse or limit refunds in cases of abuse, fraud, or violation of these Terms.
