Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-02

This policy explains what data Jobs by CareerBuddy collects, why, and the rights you have over it. We aim to collect the minimum we need to run the Service.

What we collect

Account: email, name, password hash (via Supabase Auth).
Profile: headline, location, role preferences, salary expectations, skills, optional CV.
Activity: jobs you save or skip, applications you submit, messages you send.
Technical: IP, user agent, and basic request logs for security and abuse prevention.

How we use it

To match you with relevant jobs / candidates.
To deliver transactional email (sign-up, password reset, application updates).
To detect abuse and enforce our Terms.
To improve the product (aggregated, de-identified analytics).

Who we share it with

Recruiters at companies you apply to see the application content you submit (and your identity if you've made your profile non-anonymous). We use the following sub-processors:

Supabase (database, auth, storage)
Emailit (email delivery)
Sentry (error tracking — optional)

We do not sell your personal data.
