Privacy Policy

Hey there. We get it—privacy matters, especially when it comes to your career. This Privacy Policy explains how HumanityJobs (that's us) collects, uses, and protects your personal information. We'll keep it straight and simple.

Operating Entity: HumanityJobs (sole proprietorship)
Contact Us: hello@humanityjobs.com

What Information We Collect

We keep data collection minimal and only gather what's necessary to provide you with job alerts and improve our service:

• Email Addresses: When you subscribe to job alerts, we collect your email address to send you notifications about new job postings.
• Google Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes information like your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and general location (city/state level, not your exact address).
• Subscription Metadata: When you subscribe, we automatically collect the timestamp, referrer URL (the page you came from), your current page URL, and your browser's user agent string.

We do NOT collect: Social security numbers, resumes, application materials, or any sensitive personal information. We're a job aggregation service—we link you to external job boards where applications happen.

How We Use Your Information

Here's what we do with the information we collect:

• Sending Job Alerts: Your email address is used exclusively to send you notifications about new job postings that match your interests.
• Improving Our Service: Analytics data helps us understand which features are popular, identify technical issues, and make the site better for everyone.
• Aggregated Metrics: We may use aggregated, anonymized data for internal reporting and analysis (e.g., "50 users visited this page today"). This data cannot be traced back to individual users.

What we DON'T do: We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your email stays with us (and our email service provider who helps us send the alerts).

Third Parties We Work With

We work with a few trusted third-party services to operate the site and send you job alerts:

• Google Analytics: Tracks site usage and visitor behavior. Google has its own privacy policy, which you can review at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Email Service Provider: We use a third-party email service to send job alert emails to subscribers. They have access to your email address but are contractually obligated to protect it.
• External Job Boards: We aggregate job listings from external sources (like NGO career pages and nonprofit job boards). When you click a job link, you're taken to their site. We don't control or have access to data you provide to them.
• Payment Processors (Future): If we introduce paid features in the future, we may use third-party payment processors. We'll update this policy before that happens and will never store your payment card information ourselves.

Your Privacy Rights (GDPR/CCPA Compliance)

We believe you should have control over your data. Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:

Your Rights:

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of all personal data we have about you.
• Right to Delete: You can ask us to permanently delete your personal information from our systems.
• Right to Export: You can request your data in a portable, machine-readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON).
• Right to Rectify: If any information we have about you is incorrect, you can request that we correct it.
• Right to Object: You can object to certain types of processing, such as analytics tracking.

California Residents (CCPA):

If you're a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, and the right to opt-out of any "sale" of personal information (which we don't do anyway).

How to Exercise Your Rights:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@humanityjobs.com with your request. We'll respond within 30 days and verify your identity before processing your request.

How to Unsubscribe

Don't want job alerts anymore? No problem. You can unsubscribe anytime:

• Unsubscribe Link: Every job alert email we send includes an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom. Click it, and you're off the list immediately.
• Email Us: You can also email hello@humanityjobs.com and ask to be removed. We'll process your request within 48 hours.

Data Retention

Here's how long we keep your information:

• Email Subscriptions: We retain your email address until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Google Analytics Data: Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention policies (typically 26 months).
• Deleted Data: When you request deletion, we permanently remove your personal information from our systems within 30 days.

Age Requirement

HumanityJobs is intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you're under 18, please do not use this site or subscribe to our services.

Cookies and Tracking

Like most websites, we use cookies—small text files stored on your device—to improve your experience:

• Google Analytics Cookies: Used to track site usage and visitor behavior. These cookies help us understand which pages are popular and how people navigate the site.
• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that help the site function properly (e.g., remembering form inputs).

Managing Cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of the site may not work properly without them.

Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information using industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Breach Notification: In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we'll notify you via email within 72 hours and provide details about what happened and what steps we're taking.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Your Continued Use: By continuing to use HumanityJobs after we post changes, you agree to the updated Privacy Policy.
