This Privacy Policy explains how JobMe ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use the JobMe mobile application and related services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account information: name, email address, phone number, password (hashed), and profile photo.
- Profile information: resume, work experience, education, skills, languages, salary expectations, and location.
- Application data: job applications you submit, saved jobs, messages sent to employers, and interview status.
- Device information: device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, IP address, crash reports, and push notification tokens.
- Usage data: pages viewed, features used, search queries, and timestamps.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the Service.
- To match you with relevant jobs or candidates.
- To allow employers and job seekers to communicate via the Service.
- To send notifications about applications, messages, and jobs.
- To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only:
- With employers when you apply to their job posting (profile, resume, and application content).
- With service providers that help us operate the Service (hosting, analytics, push notifications, SMS providers, email delivery), under contractual confidentiality obligations.
- For legal reasons when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You can delete your account at any time from the app settings, after which we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention reasons.
5. Security
We use industry-standard measures including TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest for sensitive fields, hashed passwords, and access controls. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict processing of, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. You can exercise most of these rights directly inside the app, or by contacting us.
7. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected such information, we will promptly delete it.
8. International Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. When we transfer data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
9. Third-Party Services
We integrate with third-party services such as Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In, Twilio (SMS), and analytics providers. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the app or by email. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
