Privacy Policy

When visiting without registration we may process pseudonymous usage data to operate and improve the service. This includes a pseudonymous visitor hash (cookie site_anonymous_user_hash), logged job searches (city, job type, category, result count, timestamp, domain), clickout events when leaving for external job pages (target URL, filters, user agent, UTM parameters) and a session-based shortlist of saved jobs. This data is not linked to your user account unless you are logged in. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operation, reach measurement and abuse detection). You may object under Art. 21 GDPR.

If you register voluntarily we collect email address, first name, last name and a password chosen by you (stored only as a cryptographic hash). Optionally you may sign in via Google OAuth; we then receive profile data required for login (e.g. email, name, Google account ID).

Purpose: providing a personal account, login, email verification, password reset and managing profile data under /user-preferences. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Acknowledgement of this privacy policy and acceptance of the terms are recorded at registration.

Retention: account data is kept until you delete your account or we remove it after prolonged inactivity. Verification and password reset tokens are deleted after use or expiry.

Logged-in users may voluntarily enable email notifications for new job listings (job alert). We store your selected search criteria (city, job type, category) and send emails when matching new jobs are found.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can deactivate or delete alerts in the dashboard at any time. Each notification email includes information on how to unsubscribe. No promotional emails are sent without an active alert.

We use technically necessary cookies (e.g. session, language, pseudonymous visitor hash, consent storage site_cookie_consent). Via the cookie banner you can accept or decline analytics tags loaded through Google Tag Manager (GTM). Tags are configured only in the GTM container, not in this website source code.

Analytics cookies are used only after your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent via the cookie banner. See the section “Google services” for details.

Personal account data, email alert settings, login logs and anonymous statistics are processed on servers in Germany with German hosting and infrastructure providers. Core storage is not transferred to third countries. Email delivery (verification, job alerts, contact form) uses SMTP providers; message content is routed through their servers in Germany or the EU. Data processing agreements under Art. 28 GDPR are in place where required.

You may optionally register or sign in with Google OAuth. Provider: Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC, USA. Data is transmitted to Google (including IP address, login information). Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR.

After cookie consent, Google Tag Manager may load tags that collect usage statistics. Google may transfer data to the USA. Appropriate safeguards may include EU Standard Contractual Clauses. More information: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can adjust Google privacy settings at https://adssettings.google.com/ . You can withdraw analytics consent via our cookie banner.

When you use the contact form we process the data you enter (name, email, subject, message) to handle your request. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR.

The message is sent to the operator by email and is generally not stored permanently in a database. Retention in the mailbox follows internal deletion periods.

On login we store timestamp, domain, your email, optional Google ID, IP address and browser identifier (user agent) in login logs (user_logins) for security purposes.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Logs are kept only as long as necessary for security and evidence.

Controller: Fabian Rossbacher, Kärntener Strasse 21, 42697 Solingen, Germany. Email: [email protected] (please use “Privacy” in the subject line).

You have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21) where processing is based on legitimate interests. You may withdraw consent at any time. You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, e.g. the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestr. 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, https://www.ldi.nrw.de.
