Information you provide to us. You provide information when you download, install and use the web browser extension, visit the website, subscribe to our newsletter, contact us through our contact information and provide us with personal information to communicate with you. As a result of those actions, you may provide us with the following information:

  • First and last name

Newsletter: To subscribe to our newsletter, the user must provide an e-mail address through the subscription form. The data provided will not be stored in our records until the user confirms his subscription. To ensure that the email address provided is correct and that the subscriber wishes to receive our newsletter, we implement a double opt-in process: after completing the subscription form, the user will receive a confirmation email. Only after the user clicks on the confirmation link, the email address will be stored in our newsletter management software.

The newsletter is used exclusively to inform subscribers about the release of new versions and updates of our web extension. At any time, users have the option to unsubscribe from the newsletter by clicking on the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of each email.

Cloudflare Web Analytics: We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to collect anonymous information that helps us understand how visitors interact with our website and our web extension. This information is used solely for the purpose of improving the user experience and optimizing the performance of our site and services. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not collect personally identifiable data from users, thus ensuring their privacy and anonymity.

See Cloudflare's privacy policy here:

HTTP request: The JobAdvisor web extension performs only a specific HTTP request when accessing LinkedIn job offers, through the URL https://lkdn.jobadvisor.app/[linkedin job id]. This operation is essential to collect details of the offers without transmitting any personal or sensitive user data.

During the process of this request, although no user identifiable information is sent, it is necessary to share with Cloudflare certain mandatory technical data such as user agent, country of origin and IP address. This data is used exclusively to ensure the proper operation and security of the extension, and is handled in strict compliance with current privacy policies, thus ensuring the protection of user privacy.

Contact information: We may access some personal information about the user, such as name and email address, when the user or any third party communicates with us through our contact information. Personal information provided through our contact information is not stored on any JobAdvisor server and will be stored on the respective server of our email service.

4. How long we keep your data

Personal data provided by users through the platform will be retained for the time necessary to provide the functionalities available on the platform, fulfill the legitimate purposes described in section 5 of this policy or until the user requests the deletion of their data. JobAdvisor may retain personal data for a longer period provided that the user has consented to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. In addition, JobAdvisor may be obliged to retain personal data for a longer period provided that this is required for compliance with a legal obligation or by order of an authority. Once the retention period has expired, the personal data will be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right of deletion, the right of rectification and the right to data portability cannot be asserted after the retention period has expired.

6. How we share information

Information about our users is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to third parties. We share customer information only as described below.

Third-party suppliers. We use third party services to perform certain functions on our platform. Some of these functions and services include: website and web extension creation and hosting (Cloudflare), CAPTCHA services (Cloudflare Turnstile), email delivery (Listmonk) and data tracking and analysis on the platform (Cloudflare Analytics).

These third-party services and tools may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use that information for other purposes. Information shared with these third-party services will be treated and stored in accordance with their respective privacy policies and our privacy policy.

Hosting: Our website and web extension are hosted by Cloudflare Pages. When using our website and web extension, the data necessary for the loading and operation of the pages, including temporary files and other essential elements for operation, are managed and stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure. This hosting allows us to ensure faster loading speeds and a secure experience for all our users. We do not store personally identifiable data on these servers.

See Cloudflare's privacy policy here:

CAPTCHA: For subscription to our newsletter through our website, we implement Cloudflare Turnstile as a security measure to prevent automated access and ensure that subscribers are real users. When subscribing to our newsletter on the website, a CAPTCHA will be triggered and must be resolved to complete the process. This technology does not collect personally identifiable information, but simply verifies the authenticity of the user.

See Cloudflare's privacy policy here:

Newsletter: Our newsletter is managed through Listmonk, a self-hosted software solution running on an AWS EC2 instance located in the Frankfurt European region. This allows us to maintain complete control over data management and security. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our subscribers: no email address collected for newsletter subscription will be forwarded, sold or shared with third parties. This commitment ensures that our users' personal information is handled with the highest degree of confidentiality and security.

Protection of JobAdvisor and Others. We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of JobAdvisor, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We adhere to industry-recognized security standards to protect your personal information, both during transmission and in storage. However, it is important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is foolproof and 100% secure.
