Scope of Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy governs the data collected through our online platform, including personal details, job preferences, and interaction histories. This policy is designed for users above 16 years old, in line with international data protection standards. Users from different regions should be aware that additional local legal requirements may also apply. We respect regional legal nuances and tailor our data practices accordingly.
Data Collection and Use
We gather a variety of data to operate effectively and provide you with personalized services. This includes but is not limited to account information, job preferences, application histories, and communication records. We use this data to match job seekers with suitable opportunities and help employers find qualified candidates. Our aim is to facilitate a smooth, efficient, and secure job-search process for all users.
Email Communications
We use email to support and improve the services offered through PalmJobs, as well as to keep our users informed of important updates. Specifically:
● When a job application is submitted, we send a copy of the application to both the applicant and the employer who posted the job.
● When a new job is posted, we send a confirmation copy of the posting to the employer.
● When a user completes our salary survey, we may send a copy of the survey response to the user. Providing an email address for this purpose is optional. If an email address is provided, it will also be used to share future updates related to aggregated survey results. We retain these email addresses solely for this purpose.
● We send authentication-related emails such as account activation, password resets, and security confirmations. These communications are necessary for account security and access management.
By registering for an account, submitting a job application, posting a job, or completing the salary survey, users consent to receive these transactional emails. In addition, we may occasionally send marketing or promotional emails related to new features, services, or announcements. Users will always have the option to opt out of such communications.
Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party service providers to deliver certain types of emails on our behalf. These providers may process limited personal information (such as recipient email address and message content) solely for the purpose of sending emails and managing account-related communications like password resets and account activations.
Retention and Security
We retain your data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, in compliance with our legal obligations. We take significant measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to safeguard your information effectively.
