Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Our Commitment

YourJobsReview ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website yourjobsreview.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect, use, and safeguard your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices in detail and applies to all visitors and users of the Site, including when you use our platform reviews, blog content, "Report a Scam" form, or any other feature or service we offer.

By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use the Site. We encourage you to review this policy periodically, as we may update it from time to time.

2. Scope and Applicability

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect:

• When you visit or use the Site (yourjobsreview.com and its subpages).
• When you submit a scam report, contact form, or any other voluntary submission.
• When you interact with our content, including reviews and blog articles.

It does not apply to information collected by third-party websites, services, or platforms that we link to. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

3. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

3.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Contact and identity information: When you use our "Report a Scam" form or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry and, where appropriate, to process and (in anonymized form) use scam reports to improve our content and warnings.
• Report details: If you submit a scam report, we may collect the type of scam, company or site name, and any description you provide. We do not require or encourage you to include sensitive personal or financial details (such as bank account numbers or passwords) in your submission.

3.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage and device information: When you access the Site, we or our service providers may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, date and time of access, and similar technical data. This helps us understand how the Site is used, improve performance, and enhance user experience.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to support site functionality, remember preferences, and analyze traffic. For more detail, see Section 9 below.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal information (such as health, financial account details, or precise geolocation) unless you voluntarily provide them in a message, in which case we use them only as necessary to respond and do not use them for marketing.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to you: To process and reply to scam reports, contact requests, and other inquiries.
• To improve the Site: To analyze usage patterns, fix errors, and improve our content, reviews, and user experience.
• To maintain safety and integrity: To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or misuse of the Site or our services.
• To communicate with you: If you have opted in to receive updates (e.g., newsletters), we may send you relevant information about our content and services. You may opt out at any time.
• To comply with the law: To fulfill legal obligations, respond to lawful requests from authorities, and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. For example, scam report and contact form submissions may be retained for a period necessary to respond, address follow-up, and (where applicable) use anonymized information for editorial and awareness purposes. Usage and technical data may be retained in aggregated or anonymized form for longer periods to improve our services. When we no longer need your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal retention procedures.

6. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery) under strict contractual obligations to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
• Legal and safety: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, or to investigate fraud or violations of our Terms of Service.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change and any choices you may have.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include secure transmission (e.g., HTTPS), limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, and secure storage practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to avoid sending highly sensitive information (such as full bank account numbers or passwords) through our contact or report forms; for serious fraud, please also report to the FTC (ReportFraud.ftc.gov) and your financial institution.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access and portability: You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and, where technically feasible, receive a copy in a portable format.
• Correction: You may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal information, subject to applicable legal exceptions (e.g., where we must retain data for legal or safety reasons).
• Opt-out of marketing: If you receive marketing communications from us, you may unsubscribe at any time via the link in the email or by contacting us.
• Restriction and objection: In certain jurisdictions, you may have the right to restrict processing or to object to certain processing of your personal information.

If you are a resident of California or other U.S. states with similar privacy laws, you may have additional rights (e.g., right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information). We do not sell personal information as defined under such laws. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 12. We will respond within the time period required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to:

• Keep the Site functioning properly (e.g., remembering preferences or session state).
• Understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., analytics) so we can improve content and experience.
• Support security and prevent abuse.

10. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it promptly.
