Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

NearSkill Jobs(“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the website at nearskilljobs.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

If you have questions, contact us at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use the Site, you may choose to provide information to us. This happens when you submit a job application through our platform, upload a resume or other document, contact us via email, or report an issue with a listing.

The information you may provide includes your name, email address, phone number, resume content, location, work history, skills, and any other details you include in your application or message.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the Site, our servers and third-party services we use collect certain information. This may include your IP address and general location derived from it, browser type and device information, pages you visit and how you interact with them, the referring website or search term that brought you to the Site, and the date and time of your visit.

This information helps us understand how the Site is used and spot problems. It is not used to identify you.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To process job applications. When you apply for a position through our platform, we use your information to submit your application to the relevant job source or employer.
• To communicate with you. We may send emails related to your application or respond to inquiries you send us.
• To operate and improve the Site. We use automatically collected data to monitor performance, diagnose problems, and understand how visitors use the Site.
• To prevent abuse. We use automated tools to detect and block bots, spam, and other misuse of the Site.

4. Sharing of Information

We share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With the employer or job source. When you apply for a job, the information you provide (including your resume) is shared with the relevant employer or the original source of the job listing so they can review your application.
• With service providers. We use third-party services for infrastructure (hosting, databases, storage) and communications (email delivery). These providers process data on our behalf.
• As required by law. We may disclose information if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or respond to valid legal process.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with data brokers or advertising networks for their own independent use.

5. Third-Party Services

The Site uses the following categories of third-party services: cloud infrastructure providers for hosting and data storage, an email delivery service for application-related communications, and a security service to distinguish real users from automated bots on forms. When you click on a job listing and are redirected to an external employer or job source website, that site has its own privacy practices. We are not responsible for how external sites handle your information.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for necessary functionality (maintaining your session), functional preferences (remembering choices like your country), analytics (understanding how visitors use the Site), and advertising (third-party ad networks may use cookies to show relevant ads).

For more details, see our Cookie Policy. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

7. Data Retention

We retain the information you provide (such as application data and resumes) for as long as needed to process your application and for a limited period afterward. Automatically collected technical data is retained for operational purposes. You can request deletion of your information by contacting us at [email protected].

8. Security

We use technical and organizational measures to protect the information we handle, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), secure cloud storage, and restricted access to personal data. No security measure removes all risk.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to know what information we have, request deletion, request correction, and opt out of certain processing.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to verifiable requests within the time required by applicable law.

You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. You will not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

To make a verifiable request, contact us at [email protected]. See our Privacy Choices page. We will confirm receipt and respond within the time required by law.
