Privacy policy

This policy explains what JobHabor LLC (“we”) collects when you use jobhabor.com, why we collect it, and what you can require us to do about it. It covers both visitors to the site and the job postings the site indexes.

Who is responsible

The controller of the personal data described here is JobHabor LLC, 8451 Madison Way, Denver, CO 80229, United States. For anything in this policy, including requests to exercise your rights, write to privacy@jobhabor.com.

What JobHabor is

JobHabor is an index of job postings that employers have published on their own careers pages and applicant-tracking systems. We are not a recruiter, we are not the employer, and applications are never submitted through this site — every apply link sends you to the employer, where their privacy policy applies rather than ours.

What we collect

When you browse

Our servers record the request: IP address, the page requested, the time, the referring page, and your browser’s user-agent string. This is ordinary web-server logging. We use it to keep the service running, to diagnose faults, and to detect automated abuse. Logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted.

Cookies

We set only the cookies the site cannot work without. We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, and we show ads through Google, which is what pays for keeping every job page free to read. Google sets cookies for both and is the only third party on this site. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland no advertising or analytics cookie is set unless you agree to it. See our cookie policy for the specifics.

If you create an account

Accounts and subscriptions store your email address, a hash of your password (never the password), your subscription and trial status, the profile you fill in, and what you choose to keep: saved searches and alerts, saved jobs, hidden companies, applied jobs with their stages, notes and reminders, any webhook addresses, and the Google Sheets export target. Saved searches are the filters you selected — they are stored so we can re-run them, and they are visible only to you. While you are signed in we also keep which job postings you have opened, so the board can mark them as viewed on any device you use; that list is visible only to you. If you turn on a Google Sheets export or a Slack or Discord webhook, the matching jobs are sent to that service at the address you gave us; what it does with them is governed by its own terms.

If you subscribe

Payments are processed by Stripe, our only payment processor. We do not receive or store your card number, and card details never touch our servers. We hold only what is needed to know whether your subscription is active, plus the invoices we are legally required to keep.

Job postings and the people named in them

The postings indexed here are gathered from pages employers publish openly. A posting occasionally names an individual — a hiring manager, a recruiter, a contact address. Where it does, we process that information on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a job index, balanced against the limited privacy impact of republishing what the employer chose to publish. If you are named in a posting and want it removed, write to privacy@jobhabor.com and we will remove it.

Our legal bases

• Performance of a contract — operating your account, providing the subscription you paid for.
• Legitimate interests — running and securing the service, indexing publicly published job postings, and preventing abuse.
• Legal obligation — retaining invoices and tax records.
• Consent — where we ask for it, such as optional email, and analytics and advertising cookies in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland. You can withdraw it at any time.

Who else sees it

We do not sell personal data. We rely on service providers who process data on our instructions: our hosting provider, Stripe as our payment processor, our email provider, and Google Analytics, which counts visits for us. Each is bound by a contract limiting them to what we ask of them.

Google is different and is named separately for that reason: as our advertising partner it acts on its own account rather than only on our instructions, and where you have consented it may use what it collects here to personalise ads elsewhere. We receive none of that data and never join it to your account. What it collects, and how to turn it off, is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Where it is processed

Our servers are located in the European Union. Some providers may process data outside it; where that happens we rely on the transfer safeguards permitted under applicable data protection law.

How long we keep it

• Server logs: a short retention window, then deleted.
• Account data: while your account exists, and a short period after you close it.
• Invoices: for as long as tax law requires us to keep them.
• Job postings: indefinitely as a record of the posting, though closed roles stop being shown.

Your rights

Subject to the conditions in applicable law, you may ask us for a copy of your personal data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive it in a portable form. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting what we did before you did so. Write to privacy@jobhabor.com; we will respond within the period the law allows.

If you think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. We would rather you told us first, at privacy@jobhabor.com, so we can put it right.

Employers

If you are an employer and want a posting or your whole board removed from the index, write to contact@jobhabor.com from an address at your company domain and we will remove it and stop crawling it.

Children

This service is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has given us personal data, tell us and we will delete it.

Changes

When this policy changes we update the date at the top. If a change materially affects your rights we will say so more visibly than that.
