Privacy Policy

FJ ("we", "us", "our") operates the website findjobs.dev. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our service. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and to keeping your information safe.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve our service. The types of information we may collect include:

• Email address -- provided voluntarily when you subscribe to job alerts. We use this solely to deliver the alerts you requested.
• Filter preferences -- when you subscribe to alerts, we store your selected filters (technology, location, seniority, etc.) to personalize the jobs we send you.
• Usage data -- we collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors use the site. This includes pages viewed, search queries performed, filters applied, and time spent on the site. This data does not personally identify you.
• Device and browser information -- standard technical data such as your browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and IP address. This helps us optimize the site for the devices people actually use.

We do not require you to create an account to browse jobs. You can use FJ without providing any personal information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Delivering job alerts -- if you subscribe, we use your email and filter preferences to send you relevant new job listings.
• Improving the service -- usage data helps us understand which features are most valuable, which search filters need improvement, and how to make the site faster and more useful.
• Maintaining site performance -- technical data helps us identify and resolve errors, optimize page load times, and ensure the site works across different browsers and devices.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not send promotional emails beyond the job alerts you specifically opted into.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on FJ:

• Essential cookies -- used to remember your filter preferences during a browsing session so you do not have to re-apply them on every page.
• Analytics cookies -- help us understand aggregate usage patterns. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information.
• Advertising cookies -- our advertising partners, including Google AdSense, may use cookies to serve ads relevant to your interests. See section 4 for details.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may limit some functionality of the site, but you will still be able to browse job listings.

4. Third-Party Services

We work with a limited number of third-party services to operate FJ:

• Google AdSense -- we display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the operation of the site. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to FJ or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Cloudflare -- we use Cloudflare for content delivery, DDoS protection, and DNS. Cloudflare may process technical data (IP addresses, request headers) as part of delivering the site to you. Cloudflare's privacy policy is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

We do not integrate with social media tracking pixels, data brokers, or third-party analytics platforms that build advertising profiles from your activity.

5. Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide the services you requested:

• Email subscriptions -- we store your email address and filter preferences until you unsubscribe. Once you unsubscribe, your data is deleted within 30 days.
• Usage data -- anonymous, aggregated usage data may be retained indefinitely for trend analysis. This data cannot be used to identify you.
• Server logs -- access logs containing IP addresses are retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging purposes, then automatically deleted.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS. Our servers are hosted on dedicated infrastructure with restricted access. We do not store payment information or sensitive credentials, as FJ does not require accounts or payments.

7. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Unsubscribe -- every alert email includes an unsubscribe link. One click and your subscription is cancelled.
• Data deletion -- you can request that we delete all personal information we hold about you by emailing us at the address below.
• Data access -- you can request a copy of any personal data we have associated with your email address.
• Correction -- if any information we hold about you is inaccurate, you can request correction.

We respond to all data requests within 30 days. For users in the European Union, these rights are provided under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For California residents, these rights are consistent with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

8. Children's Privacy

FJ is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 16, we will delete that information promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of FJ after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
