By using the site, you acknowledge and agree that Instaploy collects, records, processes, analyzes, and stores all information you provide and all activities you undertake on the site. You also agree that Instaploy may inform employers about your site activities, such as whether you are online, recently active, or responsive to employer messages.

1.13.2. Data Collection via Employer Sites

When you start a job application on instaploy’s site or on an employer’s website or their applicant tracking system, Instaploy may collect information about your actions during that visit using automated means like APIs, cookies, pixels, and web beacons. This may include data on the job listings you viewed, applications you started, and completed applications. Employers who provide tracking functionality must comply with legal requirements for notifications and consent. However, you acknowledge that Instaploy has no control over the employer’s use of these tracking tools or their website. You consent to Instaploy’s use and receipt of information from these tracking functions.

1.13.3. Association with Your Instaploy Profile

If you have a Instaploy account or a job seeker resume/profile, Instaploy may link your activity data to your profile. This data might be used to suggest relevant jobs to you or to recommend your searchable resume to employers who may be interested in candidates with your profile. Instaploy may also contact you based on this observed behavior or the information you provided, on behalf of employers or Instaploy itself. Instaploy may publicly display that you have used the site recently to correspond with a third party, though it does not include information sent to you by third parties.
If your profile is active on our platform it is by default set to searchable, Instaploy may share all of the aforementioned information with third-party employers. If you prefer not to share such information, you can delete your profile from Instaploy’s platform. Be aware that changes to your profile, such as updating or deleting information, may take a few days to reflect on the site.

1.13.4. Labels and Badges on Job Seeker Profiles

Instaploy may add labels or badges to job seeker profiles, such as “Responsive Candidate” or “New Applicant,” based on your activity on the site. The absence of a label or badge may simply indicate insufficient data to apply one. Instaploy does not guarantee the accuracy of these labels or badges and reserves the right to change or remove them at any time.

1.13.5. Demographic Data

You may have the opportunity to provide demographic information, such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, LGBTQ+ status, disability status, or criminal record.

If you do not want your demographic data used in this way, do not provide it, or you may request its removal if already provided. You also acknowledge that demographic data is personal information, and you waive any right to request or view another job seeker’s demographic data.

1.13.6. Legal Compliance and Employer Requests

Instaploy may be required to comply with legal obligations or government requests, which could include revealing user data, including demographic data, in response to legal processes from courts or law enforcement. Some employers may also ask applicants to voluntarily provide demographic information as part of the application process, which is separate from Instaploy’s collection of demographic data. Instaploy is not responsible for these employer-initiated questions, and you should contact the employer directly if you have any concerns.

1.14. Instaploy Platform

The Instaploy Platform is designed to assist employers in streamlining their hiring and decision-making processes by providing access to tools such as Instaploy Interview and related services (“Instaploy Platform”). Employers may invite you to participate in hiring activities supported by this platform. You acknowledge that employers determine how they use the Instaploy Platform for their job openings, including setting job requirements and specific hiring needs. You understand and agree that employers are responsible for complying with applicable employment laws, including Title VII, and that they indemnify Instaploy against any claims arising from their use of the Instaploy Platform or similar products. Instaploy disclaims all liability and makes no warranty regarding the employer’s compliance with Title VII or any similar law. Instaploy does not control or participate in the hiring process. The platform is simply a tool that facilitates the exchange of information between employers and job seekers, and Instaploy recruiters may assist in facilitating recruiting efforts typically facilitated by a recruiting firm.

1.15. Instaploy as a platform and recruiting firm

Instaploy offers recruitment services to its clients. When you apply to a job supported by Instaploy or engage with Instaploy as a job seeker, you agree that Instaploy may use the platform and its tools, such as your profile, Virtual Interviews, video interviews, Assessments, and other screening tools, on behalf of employers. You further agree that Instaploy may use the information you provide and data collected through the platform to present job matches to you and potential employers.
Employers who retain Instaploy are solely responsible for setting job requirements, determining the needs of their hiring efforts, and making hiring decisions. By engaging with Instaploy, you acknowledge that you are not guaranteed job interviews, job placements, suitability for a specific role, or being hired, and you take full responsibility for your actions and decisions during the recruitment process, including the acceptance or rejection of job offers.

1.16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement, and any disputes arising out of or in connection with it or related to the use of the platform (“Dispute”), will be governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America. All legal actions related to such disputes must be filed only in courts located in Los Angeles County, CA, U.S.A., if you are elsewhere. You consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of these courts.
You also waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any legal action arising from your use of the platform or these terms of service.

1.17. Class Action Waiver

By using the platform or any related services with Instaploy (“Program Elements”) and in consideration for the services offered by Instaploy, you agree not to sue Instaploy as a class plaintiff or class representative, join as a class member, or participate in any way in a class-action lawsuit against Instaploy regarding your use of the platform. As a job seeker, you acknowledge that your use of the Instaploy platform and services including your job search, Instaploy Apply, and all other services on the platform is not purchased, and this Class Action Waiver is a fundamental part of the agreement that allows for your free use of the platform. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, you should discontinue using the platform.

If you attempt to send emails using false information, Instaploy reserves the right to drop such emails, as this is a violation of the terms.

Multiple users may be linked to the same employer account, with varying levels of access (“Roles”) assigned by the account’s primary owner (“Admin”).

Instaploy may compile the candidate’s application materials, including their resume, answers to screener questions, and assessment responses, into a single document or webpage. However, Instaploy is not responsible for maintaining or storing these materials, and you are responsible for complying with applicable record retention laws and other legal requirements.

2.2.2. Candidate Summaries and Information Verification

Instaploy may provide Candidate Summaries,, resumes, videos etc, populated with information from the job seeker and the job description you provide. These summaries are not recommendations for employment, and you agree to review the full application before making any employment decisions.

This includes not making disability-related or medical inquiries that are illegal, and ensuring alternative screening methods are available where required by law.

2.2.5. Removal of Job Listings and Questions

Instaploy reserves the right to reject or remove any job listings or questions directed at job seekers for any reason.

You agree to indemnify Instaploy for any damages resulting from incorrect contact information.

2.2.8. Cross-Border Data Transfers and Compliance

If you post job listings for job seekers in countries where cross-border transfers of personal data are regulated (e.g., requiring user consent), you must ensure that any such transfer from the Instaploy platform complies with applicable data protection laws. This means ensuring that job applications and personal data sent to your designated contact information (including Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) or other service providers) are accessed or received at your business location within the regulated country.

2.2.9. Demographic Data Collection

Instaploy may allow job seekers to voluntarily provide demographic information (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, age, LGBTQ+ status, disability status, arrest or conviction records) through a survey separate from your application process. As an employer, you agree that you will not have access to or be entitled to view this demographic data collected by Instaploy. This data is used by Instaploy solely for evaluating and improving its products. You are responsible for complying with all nondiscrimination laws, and Instaploy disclaims any warranty regarding the demographic composition of job seekers applying to your job listings.

2.2.10. Email Functions and Automated Notifications

When using Instaploy, you acknowledge that Instaploy may enhance the corresponding emails with additional functions, such as sending reminders to job seekers on your behalf or notifying them of potential matches for your job listings. If you use screener questions, Instaploy may provide an option to automatically send rejection notices based on the candidates’ responses. You agree that these functions operate mechanically, without Instaploy’s discretion, and that transmission or storage of these notifications is not guaranteed.

Instaploy may also analyze these recordings to improve its products, as per its Privacy Policy.

2.2.17. Email Verification and Applicant Demographic Data

Instaploy may require email verification for job seekers applying to your listings, but does not guarantee that all applications will be from verified email addresses.

2.3.2. Data Utilization for Job Matching

To generate these job matches, Instaploy utilizes data collected through its platform from both Employers and Job Seekers. This data includes, but is not limited to, Job Ads, Resumes, application materials (such as responses to screener questions), Instaploy Assessments, and user activity on the site, including searches performed and Job Ads viewed or applied to. By using the site, you agree and consent to Instaploy using this information to present potential matches to you and to potential Job Seekers.

2.4. Salary, Application Data, and Other Information Provided by Instaploy

2.4.1. Informational Content and Estimates


Instaploy may provide Employers and Job Seekers with certain information and content, such as estimated salaries for job listings, the number of applications a job listing has received, responses to screener questions, and other related data. These figures are provided solely for informational purposes and may be derived from third-party sources. All such data, including salary estimates and application counts, are approximations and are subject to change. Instaploy does not guarantee the accuracy of these figures, and they are meant to serve as general comparisons only.

2.4.2. Labels and Badges on Job Ads

Instaploy may also add labels or badges to your Job Ads, such as indicators for pay types, specialties, benefits, or union associations. These labels are based on data contained within the job description and are intended for informational purposes only. Instaploy does not guarantee the accuracy of any label or badge and reserves the right to change or remove them at its discretion.

2.4.3. Salary Figures and Impressions Data

Salary figures provided on the Instaploy site are approximations based on submissions from third parties, including Instaploy affiliates. These figures are intended for generalized comparison only and may not accurately reflect actual salaries.

This data is also for informational purposes, subject to change at any time, and Instaploy does not guarantee its accuracy. Instaploy reserves the right to alter the method of measuring such figures at any time.

2.4.4. Job Post Templates and Content Responsibility

Instaploy may offer job post templates to assist you in creating job listings. These templates are for informational purposes only.

All content provided by Instaploy, including template job post information and estimated application numbers, is provided without warranty and is subject to change and varying levels of accuracy. Estimated application figures are not a guarantee of future performance.

2.4.5. Job Seeker Profile Labels and Badges

Instaploy may also assign labels or badges to Job Seeker profiles, such as “Responsive Candidate” or “New Applicant.” These labels are determined solely based on the Job Seeker’s activity on Instaploy. The absence of a label or badge may indicate that Instaploy lacks sufficient data to make such a determination. Instaploy does not guarantee the accuracy of these labels or badges and reserves the right to modify or remove them at any time at its sole discretion.


2.5. Screening Tools

2.5.1. License and Use of Screening Tools


Instaploy may provide you with various screening tools, such as screener questions, phone screen tools, and assessments, for use in your hiring process. These tools are licensed to you, and their use is determined solely by you. By utilizing any screening product offered by Instaploy, you acknowledge that you have independently decided to include these tools in your application process. The substantive questions asked or chosen by you are entirely your responsibility, and Instaploy does not dictate or influence these choices.

2.5.2. Legal Compliance

You agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of screening tools complies with all applicable laws, including but not limited to:
• The Fair Credit Reporting Act and similar state statutes
• Employment, equality, and anti-discrimination laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act
• Data protection or privacy laws
• Laws regulating the use of “automated employment decision tools”
You further agree that an assessment is designed to evaluate specific knowledge, skills, or abilities and does not determine a Job Seeker’s overall qualification for a job or their ability to perform it safely. The relevance of a particular skill to a job, or the qualification of a Job Seeker, is solely your decision.

2.5.3. Job-Related Criteria and Disability Accommodations

You are responsible for using assessments in combination with other selection processes to measure only those characteristics that are job-related and necessary for the candidate’s first day on the job. This includes ensuring that:
• Your selection criteria are job-related.
• You do not pose “disability-related inquiries” or medical inquiries that violate the law.
• You do not screen out individuals with disabilities or members of any protected category under the law.
You must also provide alternative methods of screening if required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar laws. It is your responsibility to indicate that reasonable accommodations are available, respond to accommodation requests, and provide information on how Job Seekers can request accommodations. Instaploy will direct Job Seekers who request accommodations to you via the contact information you provided, and you are responsible for monitoring your inbox for such requests.
While Instaploy strives to design accessible offerings guided by WCAG 2.1, Level AA, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar laws is not guaranteed. You agree to indemnify Instaploy for any claims arising from your use of screening tools, including any claims that these tools do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act or that their use results in a “disparate impact.”

2.5.4. Employer Assist Feature

Instaploy may offer an “Employer Assist” feature, allowing you to send automated messages to Job Seekers informing them that you have decided not to move forward with their application. If you activate this feature, you must interact with the Job Seeker through a tool provided by Instaploy to prevent a rejection notice from being sent. Any direct interactions with a Job Seeker outside of Instaploy’s tools, such as phone calls or emails, will not prevent an Employer Assist rejection notice from being sent. You agree to indemnify Instaploy for any claims arising from the use of the Employer Assist feature.

2.5.5. Grouping Candidates and Automated Scheduling

Instaploy may offer functionality that groups candidates based on their resumes or screener question responses, and it may also allow you to automatically schedule calls with candidates who meet your criteria. However, you retain the ability to view and evaluate any applicant at any time. Instaploy does not make decisions about any applicants, and the functionality provided does not constitute a decision-making tool. You agree not to use this functionality as the sole or primary factor in your hiring decisions and not to rely on it as a substitute for human discretion and review.

2.6. Communication through the Site

2.6.1. Notifications and Communication Services


You may receive notifications via the app, email, or your Instaploy dashboard related to your activity or a Job Seeker’s activity on the Site, including Instaploy Apply, Instaploy Messaging, or other communication services provided through the Site. These notifications are offered solely as a courtesy and should not be relied upon. For example, if you wish to interview a Job Seeker, it is your responsibility to follow up separately to ensure the Job Seeker is aware of the interview. Instaploy disclaims all warranties regarding the transmission or storage of these courtesy notices, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent.

2.6.2. Instaploy Messaging and Relay Services

Instaploy may enable messaging services such as Instaploy Messaging, text messaging relay, email relay, and/or call relay services to facilitate communication between Employers and Job Seekers about Job Listings. These services may be provided directly through the Site or through third-party vendors. Communication through these services is limited to the purpose of hiring for a Job Listing. Instaploy reserves the right to enable or disable these communication options for select Employers or Job Listings at its sole discretion, and to notify Job Seekers that such options are available. Please note that since these services depend on third-party providers, there may be technical delays or errors for which Instaploy does not guarantee error-free performance.

2.6.3. Masked Contact Information

Instaploy may mask or hide contact information, such as phone numbers and email addresses, and substitute them with an alias. For example, a Job Seeker may see an alias email address or phone number when communicating with you. If you contact a Job Seeker from a masked phone number without leaving your actual contact information, the Job Seeker may not be able to contact you after the masked number expires. Once a Job Seeker has your contact information, Instaploy is not responsible for how they may use it.

2.6.4. Processing and Analysis of Communications

When you or a Job Seeker sends a message to an Instaploy-provided alias, Instaploy and its vendors will process the message to offer services, display the message on the Site, and for other purposes outlined in this Agreement. Instaploy may group messages related to the same conversation as part of a courtesy, but some messages may not be grouped together. Additionally, Instaploy’s messaging system is not intended for sending one message to multiple Job Seekers. You agree not to use Instaploy’s messaging services to send bulk messages unless specifically authorized in the Instaploy interface.

2.6.5. Use of Data for Site Improvement

If you or anyone on your behalf views, stores, sends, or receives communications or materials (including messages, text messages, chats, emails, interview recordings, or other information) through the Site, you agree that these communications or materials may be processed, analyzed, reviewed, and stored by Instaploy for purposes such as data analysis, quality control, enforcement of Site rules, content moderation, and improvement of the Site or other Instaploy products or services.

You understand and agree that you access and use Virtual Interviews at your own discretion and risk, and Instaploy disclaims all liability arising out of your use of Virtual Interviews.

2.7.5 Invitations to Representatives

Upon your request, Instaploy may extend invitations to additional representatives at your company to join Virtual Interviews. You understand and agree that Instaploy will extend such invitations based on the email addresses you provide but is not responsible for inaccuracies in the contact information you provide. Further, you are solely responsible for the conduct or actions of your representatives. You represent that you have the authority to bind your additional representatives to Instaploy’s Terms, and by extending invitations to your representatives, you are binding them to Instaploy’s Terms.

2.7.6 Responsibility for Arrangements and Accommodations

Instaploy is only providing the option for you to communicate with Job Seekers via services that may be offered by third-party providers. Instaploy is not a party to your Virtual Interviews and is not a participant in any arrangements you make with Job Seekers. You are responsible for any requests for accommodations from Job Seekers, such as providing a sign language interpreter if legally obligated.

2.7.7 Recording Virtual Interviews

As an Employer, you may have the option to enable recording of Virtual Interviews. You acknowledge and agree that you will not record, store, or analyze Virtual Interviews without permission from Job Seekers and all participants. By recording a Virtual Interview, you represent and warrant to Instaploy that you have secured all necessary consent and will comply with all applicable laws, including state and federal law regarding consent to record interviews and phone calls. By choosing to record Virtual Interviews through the Site, you agree that third-party providers and Instaploy can store and access the recording. However, Instaploy is not obligated to store or retain any recording of a Virtual Interview.
You further agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Instaploy harmless from any allegations, claims, actions, suits, demands, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, settlements, judgments, costs, and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs) that arise from the recording of Virtual Interviews.

2.7.8 Virtual Evaluations

You shall only use the recordings and other information obtained through Virtual Evaluations for your internal hiring purposes. You shall not use Virtual Evaluations for any illegal, discriminatory, or fraudulent purposes. As part of Virtual Evaluations, you will submit or approve interview questions that Instaploy will share with candidates. You agree that the interview questions are part of your application process and are determined solely by you.
Instaploy may provide you with the ability to directly invite candidates to participate in Virtual Evaluations or automatically invite candidates who meet your selection criteria. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your use of Virtual Evaluations, including how you decide which candidates shall be invited to participate, who you decide to contact after the Virtual Evaluation has been completed, and any employment-related decisions that you make. Instaploy does not act as your employment agency by offering the Virtual Evaluations service.
A candidate’s Virtual Evaluation video will only be deemed complete and submitted to you when the candidate approves the submission through the Virtual Evaluations tool. Instaploy reserves the right to not submit a candidate’s response if a candidate or Employer uses the tool in an abusive manner, as determined in Instaploy’s sole discretion. You agree that Instaploy is not responsible for maintaining or storing any candidate submissions through Virtual Evaluations, and that you are responsible for your compliance with applicable record retention requirements.

If you choose to provide User Content, it must comply with the Site Rules, Instaploy’s policies, and Instaploy’s Terms of Service. These guidelines include, but are not limited to, the following: Your User Content must not be unlawful, fraudulent, discriminatory, threatening, abusive, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate, irrelevant, or unconstructive. It must not contain sexual, ethnic, racial, or other discriminatory slurs. It must not include proprietary information, trade secrets, intellectual property of others, or confidential information.

You are prohibited from posting official identification information, such as social security numbers, passport numbers, national identification numbers, insurance numbers, driver’s license numbers, immigration numbers, or any other similar codes or identifiers, as well as background check information.

4.15. Claims of Infringement


4.15.1 U.S. Copyright Infringement:

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Instaploy infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information as required by 17 USC § 512(c)(3)(A):
• (a) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• (b) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
• (c) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Instaploy to locate the material on the site;
• (d) The name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party;
• (e) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• (f) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Instaploy a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. For more details, see the U.S. Copyright Office website.
Notices and counter-notices related to the Site should be sent in writing to:
Instaploy Inc 11631 Victory Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91606, Ste# 201 And via Email: to [email protected]
