Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how iWork (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our job search platform, company dashboard, and related services (the “Services”). If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Services.

A. You provide: account details (name, email, password—stored hashed), Google OAuth profile basics if you sign in with Google, profile/resume (skills, experience, preferences, city/state, links, uploaded resume stored via Cloudinary), job activity (saved jobs, applications, notes, alert preferences), company info (name, logo/banner via Cloudinary, tagline, job postings), messages/support emails, and—if you use paid features—limited payment details processed by Stripe (we do not store full card numbers).

4. How We Use Information

5. Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on: Contract (to deliver requested Services); Legitimate interests (to secure, improve, and personalize the Services); Consent (optional communications/certain cookies); and Legal obligation (compliance).

6. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell personal information. We share data with: (a) employers/companies at your direction when you apply or contact them; (b) service providers (hosting, database, Cloudinary, email, analytics, error monitoring) under confidentiality and data-protection terms; (c) integrated APIs (e.g., Adzuna, Google OAuth); (d) Stripe for payment processing; (e) authorities where required by law; and (f) successors in a business transfer with appropriate protections.

7. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies (authentication, security), preference cookies (e.g., alert frequency), and analytics cookies (if enabled). You can control cookies in your browser. Blocking essential cookies may impair login and core features.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Services. Logs/security records are typically kept up to 12 months unless required longer. Legal/accounting records are kept as required by law. When no longer needed, data is deleted or anonymized.

9. Your Rights & Choices

California (CPRA): We do not “sell” or “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If this changes, we will provide a “Do Not Sell or Share” mechanism.

10. International Data Transfers

We may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) for transfers from the EEA/UK.

11. Security

We employ administrative, technical, and physical measures (encryption in transit, hashed passwords, access controls, monitoring). No method is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 16 (or the age required by your jurisdiction). If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us to remove it.

13. Third-Party Links

Our Services may link to third-party sites or services, which are governed by their own privacy policies.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy periodically. Changes will be posted with an updated “Effective date.” Material updates may be communicated via email or in-product notice.
