1. Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal data when you use our job ads portal (“the Site”). We operate primarily as a broker and aggregator of job advertisements. When you apply to a job, we forward your application to the person or organization that created the original listing (the “Poster”).

The Site is not intended for minors. We only work with individuals who are of full legal age to enter into binding contracts under applicable law. By using the Site, you confirm that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to form binding agreements.

2. Data Controller & Contact

For all privacy-related matters, please contact us at privacy@jobads.tech.

3. What Data We Collect

Contact and account data: name, email, and optional profile details if you create an account or contact us.
Application data: CV, cover message, portfolio or LinkedIn links, and other data you provide when applying.
Job ad data: content of your job listing, contact details, and related metadata.
Usage and device data: IP address, browser, device type, pages viewed, timestamps, and approximate location.
Cookies: essential cookies for basic functionality and analytics cookies where applicable.

4. Why We Use Your Data (Legal Bases)

We process your data to:

Provide and operate the Site and enable applications to be sent to Posters.
Ensure platform security, prevent misuse, and detect fraudulent activity.
Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
Improve our service through aggregated analytics and feedback.

Our legal bases under the GDPR include the performance of a contract, legitimate interest, consent (where required), and legal obligation.

5. Where We Get Data From

Directly from you (via forms, applications, or messages).
Automatically via cookies, analytics, and server logs.
From Posters, when they respond or update the status of your application.

6. How We Share Data

When you apply to a job through the Site, we share your application details with the corresponding Poster. Once the data has been shared, the Poster becomes an independent data controller responsible for their copy.

We may also share limited data with trusted service providers who host our servers, deliver emails, or provide analytics. These partners are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users’ safety. We do not sell personal data.

7. International Transfers

Our servers are located in the United States. By using the Site, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., which may have different data protection standards than your home country.

Where required by law, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent measures to help ensure an appropriate level of protection.

8. How Long We Keep Data

We retain data only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Application data is stored temporarily for delivery to the Poster, after which we delete or anonymize it where appropriate.

9. How We Protect Data

We apply reasonable security measures (encryption in transit, access controls, and secure storage). While no system is perfectly secure, we continuously improve our safeguards to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure.

10. Your Rights

You may have the right to:

Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Object to certain types of processing.
Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

For requests related to data shared with Posters, please contact the Poster directly, as they control their copy.

11. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies to operate the Site and may use analytics cookies to understand general usage. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings. Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 years old. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at privacy@jobads.tech and we will take appropriate steps to remove the information.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material updates will be announced on this page, and the “Last updated” date will change accordingly.
