Sanka Talent Privacy Notice
Effective: October 26, 2026
Provider: Sanka Inc. (株式会社サンカ), 1-3-2 Toyosu, Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan ("Sanka," "we," "us")
Privacy contact: hey@sanka.com
This notice supplements the Sanka Privacy Policy. It explains what personal information Sanka handles in Sanka Talent ("Talent"), why, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. Where this notice and the Sanka Privacy Policy differ, this notice governs for Talent.
1. Who this notice covers
- Submitters: people who submit a job on Talent's free job form on behalf of an employer.
- Reporters: people who ask us to correct or remove a job, or who send a report or complaint.
- Visitors: everyone who visits Talent's pages at
jobs.sanka.com, including job seekers.
People who publish jobs from a Sanka Flow workspace are covered by the Sanka Privacy Policy and the Sanka Terms of Service, which govern Sanka Flow.
2. Sanka's role
- Sanka handles the information in this notice as its own, as the business responsible for it (個人情報取扱事業者).
- Talent receives no applications. When a visitor clicks "Apply", they leave Talent for the employer's own apply page. The employer handles anything given to it there, under the employer's own privacy notice.
3. Submitters
3.1 What we collect
| Information | Notes |
|---|---|
| Your name, work e-mail address and job title | Entered on the form |
| The employer's name and website | Entered on the form |
| The job you submit | Any contact name or address you put in the job or apply link is published with it |
| Verification | That your e-mail address was verified with a one-time code, when, and whether its domain matches the employer's website |
| Your agreements and choices | The version of the Employer Posting Terms you accepted and when, and whether you ticked the separate box for Sanka product e-mail |
| Messages | E-mails and other messages between you and Sanka about the job |
| Rate limits | To stop automated abuse, we count how often codes and jobs are requested per e-mail address and per IP address. We keep only a one-way hash of the address in these counters, which are deleted automatically after one hour |
3.2 What we use it for
- To check that you work for the employer and may post for it. We send a one-time code to your work e-mail address. If its domain does not match the employer's website, we review the job manually and may ask the employer, through its published contact details, whether you are authorised; to do so we tell the employer your name, role and work e-mail address.
- To review, publish, keep current, correct, expire and remove the job, and to contact you about it: the review result, questions, reports about it, and how to manage it.
- To prevent impersonation, fraud, spam and abuse, and to keep Talent secure.
- To keep a record of the terms you accepted and to comply with the law.
- Company-level sales signals. Sanka's sales team may see that your employer is hiring on Talent, the job's category and tags (for example, a role leading a system migration), and your name, role and work e-mail address as the employer's contact for the job. We record these in Sanka's own customer relationship management (CRM) system with the source "Sanka Talent". Unless you opt in under section 3.4, nobody at Sanka contacts you about Sanka products.
- In statistics that combine many jobs and identify no person.
3.3 What we publish
We publish the job as approved and the employer's name and logo. We do not publish your name, e-mail address or role, unless you put them in the job or the apply link yourself. If you want applicants to e-mail someone, we recommend a shared recruiting address.
3.4 Sanka product e-mail (optional)
- The form has a separate box: "Also send me occasional emails about Sanka products." It starts unticked, and you can post a job without ticking it.
- If you tick it, we may send you e-mail about Sanka, Sanka Flow and Sanka Code, and events
about them. Each e-mail has an unsubscribe link, and you can also withdraw by e-mailing
hey@sanka.com. Withdrawing does not affect your jobs. - We do not subscribe you to Sanka CIO Daily. You can subscribe to it separately on its own page.
4. Reporters
- We collect what you send us: your name (optional), e-mail address, your relationship to the job (for example job seeker, employer or recruiter), which job, and your message.
- We use it only to handle your report or complaint, to contact you about it, and to keep the complaint record the law asks us to keep.
- To check a job, we may show the content of your report to the employer. We do not give the employer your name or e-mail address unless you agree.
5. Visitors
- No accounts and no applications. Talent has no job-seeker accounts, saved searches, personalised job alerts, applications, or recommendations based on what you have viewed.
- First-party, aggregated counts only. To know which jobs are useful, Sanka counts page views and clicks on "Apply" for each job and each employer per day. The counts are kept by Sanka itself, not by an analytics company. They are not linked to you: we do not set cookies or store or forward IP addresses, user agents or device identifiers for them.
- No advertising or third-party analytics. Talent's pages carry no advertising pixels and no third-party analytics or tag-management tags. Nothing about your visit to Talent is sold or shared for advertising.
- Server logs. Our hosting providers keep standard server logs (such as IP address, page requested, time and browser) for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. We do not use them to decide what jobs to show you.
- When you click "Apply". Your browser goes to the employer's site, which may see that you came from Sanka Talent. The employer's privacy notice applies there.
- Sanka CIO Daily. Sanka's e-mail newsletter has a "Today's jobs" section that lists Talent jobs. It goes only to subscribers who agreed, when they signed up, to receive job information, and all of them in an edition get the same jobs. You subscribe on the newsletter's own page, under the consent shown there and the Sanka Privacy Policy. Because the newsletter sends job information to its subscribers, Sanka has notified the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare that it carries on a 特定募集情報等提供事業. Sanka uses subscribers' information only for the purposes stated at signup, does not give it to employers, and does not link it to visits to Talent's pages.
6. Sharing
Sanka does not sell personal information and does not use it for advertising. We share it only:
- with the employer, in the cases in sections 3.2(1) and 4.3;
- with the service providers below, who handle it for us under contract;
- with professional advisers, and with courts, authorities or law enforcement where the law requires it or to protect rights and safety; and
- in a merger, acquisition or sale of the business, under confidentiality.
| Work | Provider | Country of handling | Information |

| E-mail delivery (codes, confirmations, product e-mail) | Twilio Inc. (SendGrid) | United States | Recipient address and message content |
| Error monitoring | Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry) | United States | Error details, which may include information in section 3.1 |
| CRM | Sanka (Sanka's own workspace) | Japan (Tokyo) | The information in section 3.2(5) |
Where a provider handles personal data outside Japan, we contract with it to take security measures equivalent to Sanka's, and we name the country above. You can ask us for information about that country's data protection system and the provider's measures.
7. Retention
| Information | Kept |
|---|---|

| Record of terms accepted | 5 years after the job last expired or was removed |
| Product e-mail consent record | While you are opted in, then 3 years after the last e-mail we send you |
| Reports, complaints and how we handled them | 3 years after the matter is closed |
| CRM contact record | Under the Sanka Privacy Policy |
| Daily counts of views and apply clicks | Kept indefinitely; they contain no personal information |
Backups are deleted when their normal backup period ends.
8. Security
Traffic is encrypted. Access to submitter and reporter information is limited to Sanka staff who need it to run Talent, under access controls and logging. If Sanka learns of a leak or suspected leak of personal data, it reports to the Personal Information Protection Commission and notifies the people affected where the law requires.
9. Your rights
- You can ask Sanka to disclose, correct, add to, delete, or stop using or sharing your personal
information, or to tell you how we shared it, as the Act on the Protection of Personal
Information and other laws that apply to you allow. E-mail
hey@sanka.com. We may need to check who you are. - People in the United States may have further rights under the privacy laws of their state. You can use them the same way.
- To have a job corrected or removed, use the routes in the Listing Policy, section 6.
10. Changes to this notice
When we change this notice, we publish the new version here with its date. We tell submitters with listed jobs about material changes by e-mail. Before Talent collects any other information about job seekers, for example accounts, personalised alerts or on-site applications, we will update this notice first.
