This Privacy Policy describes how FDE Jobs (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website (the “Site”).

Information collected automatically:

- Device information including device type and unique device identifiers
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how you use the Site
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Site
- Process job applications and connect job seekers with employers
- Send you relevant job alerts and notifications you have opted into
- Communicate with you about your account and respond to your inquiries

3. How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- With employers: When you apply to a job, your application information is shared with the posting employer
- Service providers: We share information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site, including hosting, analytics, and email delivery
- AI processors: When you upload a resume, the file contents are sent to AI providers, such as OpenAI, to extract structured profile data such as your skills, work experience, and education. These providers act as data processors on our behalf and do not use your information to train their own models.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
- Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction
- With your consent: We may share information with your explicit consent
4. Resume storage and processing
If you choose to keep your resume on file, we store the original file in our secure storage so you can retrieve it later. If you do not choose to keep it on file, the original file is deleted automatically once parsing is complete; the structured fields extracted from your resume remain on your profile and stay editable. You can view, replace, or delete your stored resume at any time from your account settings, which also withdraws your consent to retain it.
5. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, and analyze traffic. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect Site functionality.
6. Data retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Delete your personal information
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your information
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details on this Site.
8. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
9. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on the Site with a revised effective date.
