Cross-border Transfers
Because Jobberman.online operates online and uses service providers globally, your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own. We will take appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or ensuring providers adhere to recognized privacy standards) to protect your data in accordance with this policy and applicable laws.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, secure servers, and regular security assessments.
However, no internet service or transmission is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to result in risk to your rights or freedoms, we will comply with legal obligations to notify affected users and regulators as required.
Data Retention
We retain personal information as long as necessary to provide services to you, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for legitimate business purposes. Specifically:
- Active account data is retained for as long as the account is active.
- When you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is necessary for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or legitimate business purposes.
- We retain certain transactional and financial records for statutory periods required by law (for example, tax or audit requirements).
Children’s Privacy
Our services are intended for people aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take steps to delete that information. For users between 13 and 18, parental consent may be required depending on local law; we encourage parents to supervise their children’s online activities.

Employers should also handle candidate information securely and only request information that is relevant to the recruitment process.
