1. Important Information and Who We Are

Purpose of This Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Jobareer collects and processes your personal data when you use this website, the Jobareer phone app or the Jobareer browser extension, create an account, set up job alerts, upload a resume, or buy a subscription.

Controller

Jobareer is the controller and responsible for your personal data (collectively referred to as "Jobareer," "we," "us," or "our" in this privacy policy).

Contact Details

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our privacy practices, please contact us at [email protected].

Changes to the Privacy Policy and Your Duty to Inform us of Changes

We keep our privacy policy under regular review. This version was last updated on October 26 2026. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Third-Party Links

This website links to job listings and other pages on third-party websites. Clicking on those links may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements.

2. The Data We Collect About You

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). We collect:

• Account data: your email address and password (stored as a hash), and your name if you provide it. If you sign in with Google or Facebook, they give us your name and email address; we do not receive your password there or anything else from that account.
• Profile data: anything you add to your profile, such as phone number, postal address, education and keywords.
• Job application answers: what you add for application forms, such as your LinkedIn page, work authorization, salary wanted and start date, your current and wanted pay, notice period and work permit, and, only if you choose to give them, the sensitive answers some forms ask: the equal-opportunity questions (gender, race or ethnicity, veteran and disability status) and, on forms in some countries, questions such as nationality, religion or category. Those sensitive answers are stored encrypted, used only to fill a form you start, and never sent to an AI model or shown to our staff. We also remember short answers you gave on earlier forms, so the next form can use them; you can see and forget them in the app and on the Auto Apply page.
• Work search record: only if you turn it on: your state, the applications and other activities you record, and the employer confirmations you upload.
• Things you send us: stories with their photos and videos, Career Coach questions and conversations, support messages, and reports about an answer or a story.
• Resume data: the resume files you upload and the details read from them, such as your work history, education and skills.
• Job search data: the job alerts you set up, the jobs we have emailed you, and the jobs you click, save or mark as applied.
• Payment data: the plan you subscribe to and its status. Card details are entered on and held by our payment processor, Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
• Usage data: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view and how you arrived at the site. If you came from one of our ads, we keep the ad's click identifier and campaign tags with the account you create, so that we can tell which ads work. We may show different visitors different versions of the site to compare them; a random identifier in a cookie keeps you in the same version.
• Browser extension data: when you connect the Jobareer extension, it keeps a sign-in token for your account in your browser (you can disconnect it on the Auto Apply page). It reads a page only when you press Fill there, or while you work through your emailed jobs with it: then it sends us the form's questions and, for answers written by AI, the text of the job page, and we send back the answers. We keep the wording of each question, never your answer to it, to learn what application forms ask, and the address a job's Apply button led to. It does not read or keep your browsing anywhere else.
• Gifted plans: if we give you a plan through a gift link, we keep the email address and name we sent the link to, and which account opened it.
• Phone app data: the phone's kind and the app's version, when you open the app, and the address our push notifications are sent to (a push token). If you tap "Near me", the phone finds its approximate location once and turns it into a ZIP code; we keep the ZIP code and city as your alert's place, never your location. Photos, videos and files reach us only when you choose them.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• To register you as a new user and keep your account secure.
• To match new job listings to your alerts and email them to you.
• To read your resume and fill in your profile from it.
• To process and deliver your service including managing payments and collecting money owed to us.
• To fill in job application forms you ask us to fill, and to write answers you ask for.
• To measure how the site is used, compare versions of it, find and fix problems, and measure how well our advertising works.
• To answer you when you email us.

Emails

Job alert emails are the service you signed up for. Every alert email has an unsubscribe link that stops them in one click, and you can change or remove your alerts at any time from your dashboard. We will still send messages needed to run your account, such as password resets and payment receipts.

4. Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Uploaded resumes are checked for viruses and stored on servers we operate ourselves. We share your personal data with the service providers below, only as far as each needs it to do its job for us:

• Stripe processes subscription payments made on this website.
• Apple and Google take payment for plans bought in the phone app, and RevenueCat tells us which plan that is. Apple and Google also deliver push notifications to your phone, through Expo, which sends them for us.
• Employers' application forms: when you use Auto Apply, your answers are typed into the employer's form on its own site (for some company job boards, by a browser we run on our servers, which keeps a picture of the filled form for you). Nothing is sent to an employer until you, or Auto Apply on your request, press Submit.
• Amazon Web Services delivers our email.
• OpenRouter, and the AI model provider it passes each request to (currently Google, and Anthropic for application answers and some other features), receive what an AI feature needs to answer you: the text of a resume you upload or ask us to read, improve or add a skill to; a question you ask the Career Coach, with your job alerts, the jobs in your applications and your latest resume; the job, its page and the details you give when you ask for a referral message or for answers to an application form; and what you type into the free writing tools. We ask that only providers that do not keep or train on that text are used. The phone app asks for your permission before it first sends anything to them, and you can take it back in its Settings. Your sensitive answers (section 2) are never sent.
• Cloudflare delivers the site and protects it from attacks, so your requests pass through its network.
• Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) and Microsoft Advertising receive usage data through the advertising tags described in section 5, including that a visit led to a sign-up.
• Google and Facebook, if you sign in with them, confirm who you are to us.
• ipdata may receive an IP address to tell us the country it is in.
• Gravatar receives a scrambled (hashed) form of your email address to look up a profile picture for your account.
• Google Fonts, Bunny Fonts and jsDelivr serve fonts and scripts to your browser, and see your IP address when they do.

We may also disclose personal data where the law requires it, or to a buyer if the business or its assets are sold.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential: a session cookie keeps you signed in and protects forms from misuse. The site does not work without it. A cookie with a random identifier keeps you in the same version of the site while we compare versions.
• Analytics: we run our own analytics (Matomo) and session replay (OpenReplay) on servers we operate, to count visits, see which pages are used, and replay how a visit went so that we can find and fix problems.
• Advertising: the Google Ads tag, the Meta Pixel and Microsoft Advertising's tag record visits and sign-ups so that we can measure our advertising. Google, Meta and Microsoft may combine this with other information they hold about you. The phone app has none of these, and our pages that it opens leave them out.

In the United States, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan and Mexico we use analytics and advertising cookies from your first visit, with a notice, and you can opt out at any time with "Your privacy choices" at the bottom of any page; a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser counts as an opt-out. Everywhere else, and whenever we cannot tell where you are, they are only set after you accept them in the cookie notice. Our Cookie Policy has the details.

6. International Transfers

We are based in the United States but may share your personal data with external third parties in other countries for the purposes described in this privacy policy. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of your jurisdiction, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the relevant regulatory bodies.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the relevant regulatory bodies to ensure that your personal data is treated in a manner that is consistent with and respects the EU and other applicable laws on data protection.

7. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate security measures designed to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

8. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

9. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data including the right to access, correction, erasure, objection to processing, and portability of your personal data.

You can remove a resume or a job alert yourself from your dashboard, and delete your whole account from the bottom of your profile page, in the app under You → Settings, or, without a password, from jobareer.com/delete-account. Deleting your account removes your profile, resumes, alerts and history at once, and cancels a plan bought on this website; a plan bought in the App Store or on Google Play you cancel there. Stories you sent are taken down unless you choose to leave them up without your name, payment records stay with Stripe, Apple or Google as the law requires, and a report you sent us stays without your account. To exercise any other right, email us at [email protected] from the address on your account.

Children

Jobareer is for people looking for work and is not meant for children. You must be at least 16 to use it. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger; if you believe a child has given us their data, email [email protected] and we will delete it.

10. CCPA

For residents of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you rights regarding the access to, deletion of, and sharing of your personal data. We do not sell your personal data for money. Our advertising tags (section 5) may count as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CCPA; you can opt out of it with "Your privacy choices" at the bottom of any page, and a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser is treated as that opt-out. Residents of other US states with similar laws have the same choice. To exercise any other right, please contact us.

11. GDPR

For residents of the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. You also have the right to data portability, the right to withdraw consent at any time, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. We are committed to upholding your rights under GDPR. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
