We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to analyze site usage. These tools collect anonymized behavioral data (e.g., pages visited, time spent, clicks) and may use cookies. We do not sell, share, or monetize your personal data with any third parties. Your resumes and profile data are never shared with employers or recruiters.
