Welcome to Jobrope (https://www.jobrope.com/). Your privacy is deeply important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you utilize our recruitment platform and freelance marketplace.
1. Information We Collect
To facilitate seamless recruitment and freelance connections, we gather the following types of data:
- Personal Information Provided by You:
- Candidates & Freelancers (The Talent): Full name, email address, phone number, professional history, education, specific skills, portfolio links, hourly rates, uploaded Resume/CV files, and PayPal account details (email address) required for processing payouts.
- Employers & Clients (The Hirers): Company legal name, business description, corporate contact details, and specific job openings or project/task requirements.
- Technical and Usage Data: We automatically log certain data when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, pages visited, and time spent on specific job listings.
- Cookies and Tracking: We utilize cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your login sessions, preserve your preferences, improve website performance, and analyze overall site traffic patterns. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser settings, though doing so may affect your ability to use certain platform features.
2. Third-Party Payment Processing & Payouts (PayPal)
To manage secure global financial transactions—such as purchasing job posting credits or facilitating marketplace payments and payouts – Jobrope integrates exclusively with PayPal.
- Financial Data Handling: Jobrope does not store your full credit/debit card numbers, bank credentials, CVVs, or PayPal account passwords on our internal servers. This highly sensitive information is handled directly by PayPal, operating under strict global financial regulations and full PCI-DSS compliance.
- Transaction Metadata: We only retain necessary operational transaction records—such as the payment/payout date, transaction status, currency (USD), unique transaction IDs, and amount—to verify your account balances, credits, and project completions.
3. How Your Data is Used
The information we collect is used exclusively for the following professional and operational purposes:
- Job & Project Matching: Connecting job seekers with employers and matching freelancers with relevant clients.
- Platform Communication: Sending essential account updates, transaction receipts, security alerts, and customer support responses.
- Operational Security: Monitoring platform activity to prevent fraud, scams, fake listings, and to maintain a safe ecosystem.
- Service Improvements: Analyzing technical usage data to optimize site speed, fix bugs, and introduce new user features.
4. Sharing of Information
We value your privacy and do not sell or rent your personal data to third-party marketers. Your information is shared only under the following necessary conditions:
- With Platform Users: Your profile data and resume are shared with relevant employers when you apply for a job or make your profile public. Likewise, project details are shared with freelancers during service transactions.
- With Service Providers: We share limited data with trusted technical partners who help us host our servers, analyze platform traffic, or process secure payments and payouts via PayPal.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or legal authorities to protect the safety, rights, and integrity of our marketplace and its users.
5. Data Security and Retention
We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures (including firewalls and encryption) to protect your data from unauthorized access.
- Data Retention: We retain your user data for as long as your account remains active to provide you with continuous marketplace access.
- Financial Record Exception: Please note that even if you request full account deletion, global financial regulations and payment gateway compliance obligate us to retain historical payment, billing, and transactional metadata for a statutory period to comply with tax and anti-money laundering laws.
6. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your geographic location, you hold the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access and Edit: You can update or correct your profile details and resume at any time directly through your user dashboard.
- Data Deletion: You may request the permanent deletion of your profile, account, and resume by contacting our support team.
- Communication Preferences: You can easily opt out of marketing emails or automated job alerts via your account settings.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our platform is built exclusively for professional business use and is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
