Job For Me — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 12 October 2026 · Last updated: 23 October 2026

This policy explains what personal information Job For Me collects, why, who can see it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Job For Me apps for Android and iOS and to the Job For Me website ("the app").

Job For Me is run by an independent developer based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates ("we", "us"). You can contact us about privacy, or anything else, at a.odeh20003@gmail.com.

NOTE: Job For Me facilitates connections and does not guarantee employment, interviews, or hiring outcomes

1. The short version

• You give us what an account and a job search need: your email, name and phone number, and, if you're a worker, details such as your skills, languages, age, gender and nationality.
• Employers' names, business names, phone numbers and job locations are visible to other users. Job titles and locations are on a public map that anyone can see without an account.
• A worker's profile is visible only to the employers they apply to. Other workers and other employers can't see it.
• Your device's location stays on your device. We don't store it.
• We don't show ads, don't use tracking or analytics tools, and don't sell your information.
• You can delete your account, and with it your data, from inside the app at any time.
• Points and the leaderboard: you earn points and a rank for using the app and inviting friends. Other users see your first name and last initial (or your business name), rank and points on the leaderboard, unless you turn that off.

2. What we collect

When you create an account

• Email address and password. These are handled by Firebase Authentication, a Google service. Your password is stored only in scrambled (hashed) form, and we can never see it. We send a link to confirm your email address. You must confirm it before you can post a job or apply for one.
• Or, if you sign in with Google: the name and email address on your Google account (Google has already confirmed the address). We never see your Google password.
• Or, if you sign in with Apple (on iPhone and iPad): the name and email address Apple shares with us. You can choose to hide your email; Apple then gives us a private address that forwards to yours. We never see your Apple ID password.
• Your role: worker or employer. This can't be changed later.
• Your acceptance of the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy: which version you accepted, and when.

Your profile

• Everyone: your first and last name, your phone number, and optionally a profile photo.
• Your address: a point you pick on a map, the street address Google gives for that point, your country, and optionally a building or villa line you type.
• Employers: your business name and type of business.
• Workers:
  • the kinds of work you do;
  • the languages you speak;
  • years of experience;
  • whether you have a driving licence;
  • gender;
  • date of birth;
  • a short "about me";
  • the country you live in;
  • your nationality;
  • optionally, a CV file (PDF, Word or image).

What you do in the app

• Jobs you post: the kind of work, description, pay, any allowance, schedule, number of workers, requirements, preferred nationalities, the job's location (a map point and address line), and any files you attach to it (for example a job description, an application form or photos; up to 5).
• Applications: which jobs you applied to, their status, and the CV you attached.
• Messages between you and the other person on a job.
• Ratings and reviews you give or receive. A review is signed with the reviewer's first name and last initial, for example "Sara K.".
• Reports you make about another user, and the users you block.
• Points and rank: the points you earn and what each was for (an application, a job you posted, a job done, a friend who joined), your rank, and how many of the week's applications or job posts you have used.
• Invites: your invite code. If you join with a friend's code, whose code it was, and, so that one inbox can't be counted as several friends, a one-way fingerprint of your email address (a hash, never the address itself).
• Your settings: app language, and whether you want notification emails.

From your device

• Location, only if you allow it. It's used on your device to show jobs near you, centre the map and work out distances. We don't store it or send it to our servers.
  • Exception: if you use your location to set your address or a job's location, that map point is sent to Google to look up its street address. The address you save is stored as described above.
  • Text you type into the map's place search also goes to Google, to find the place.
• A notification token, only if you allow notifications. This is a code from Google or Apple that lets us send notifications to your device.
• Technical information that our providers (Google) process to run and protect the service, such as IP addresses and device and app versions. We don't use it to profile you.

What we don't collect

• No advertising identifiers.
• No analytics, tracking or advertising tools.
• No contacts, photos or files other than the photo, CV or job files you choose to upload. "Invite your friends" uses your phone's own share menu: we don't see who you send the invite to, only who joins with your code.
• No payment information.

3. How we use it

Gender, date of birth, nationality, and standard CV data generally do not require explicit consent, provided that such data is processed on an appropriate legal basis, such as recruitment-related purposes, performance of a contract, legitimate interests, or compliance with a legal obligation. However, a separate assessment should be conducted for any sensitive or special-category personal data that may be included in a CV, as well as for country-specific legal and regulatory requirements, since certain jurisdictions may require additional legal grounds or explicit consent for processing such data.

Where applicable laws or regulations require the data subject’s consent for the processing of any such data, the data subject’s submission of an employment application and/or acceptance of this Privacy Policy shall be deemed to constitute their consent to such processing to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. This shall be subject to and interpreted in accordance with the laws and regulations of the country in which the data subject resides or the country in which they are applying for employment, without prejudice to any mandatory legal requirements for obtaining separate, express, or specific consent where such consent is required by applicable law.

Where personal data is transferred outside the user's country of residence, including to the United States through Google Cloud and Firebase services, such transfers shall be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and based on legally recognized transfer mechanisms, including adequacy decisions where available, standard contractual clauses, contractual safeguards, consent, or any other lawful transfer mechanism recognised by applicable law. Where local laws require data localization or additional safeguards, the Company will comply with such requirements to the extent applicable.

We don't use your information for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. The requirement check above only stops an application a job's own requirements rule out. The employer still decides who to hire.

4. Who can see your information

Once an employer can see your phone number, or opens and downloads your CV, they may keep it or contact you outside the app. We can't control copies they make. Please share only what you are comfortable sharing (Users are requested not to include sensitive personal data in their CVs unless necessary for a job application. Where such information is voluntarily submitted, it will be processed only as permitted by applicable law).

Employers are responsible for compliance with employment, privacy and anti-discrimination laws.

5. Service providers

We use these providers to run the app. They process information on our behalf and under their own security and privacy commitments.

Google's use of map data is also covered by the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect someone's safety, or as part of a sale or reorganisation of the business. We'll tell you if that happens, where the law allows.

Once a worker's information has been disclosed to an employer, the employer acts as an independent controller of that information and may retain it subject to its own legal and regulatory obligations.

6. Where your information is stored

Our database, files and servers are with Google in the United States, so if you use the app from another country, your information is transferred there.

We are committed to respecting the rights of data subjects in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations. Depending on the applicable legal framework, data subjects may have the right to request access to their personal data, obtain a copy of such data, request its correction or updating, request its deletion or the restriction of its processing, object to certain processing activities, withdraw their consent where processing is based on consent (without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to such withdrawal), request the transfer of their personal data to another service provider, and lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, where applicable.

To exercise any of these rights, data subjects may contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy. We will review and respond to such requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements and within the timeframes prescribed by law. Certain rights may be subject to legal exemptions, limitations, or overriding legitimate interests as permitted under applicable laws. (We may verify the identity of the requester before acting upon any request relating to personal data).

The data subject is solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, and validity of any personal data, documents, or information submitted by them through the application or during the recruitment process. The data subject shall be solely entitled to request the correction, update, modification, or deletion of their personal data, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We shall not be responsible for any inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, or unlawfully provided information submitted by the data subject.

7. How long we keep it

• Your account and profile: until you delete your account.
• Jobs: until the employer deletes them or their account. Closed and filled jobs stay in the employer's list until then.
• Applications: until the worker withdraws them, or the worker's or employer's account is deleted.
• Messages: see section 8.
• Reports: 2 years after the report is made, then deleted.
• Points, rank and invites: until you delete your account.
• Server logs (account IDs and the kinds of events, not message content): 30 days.
• Backups: the database is backed up once a day, and each backup is deleted after 7 days. Something you delete can stay in a backup until that backup is deleted.

8. Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app: Profile → Delete account. You'll be asked for your password (or to confirm with Google or Apple, if you sign in with them). Then, on our servers, we permanently delete:

• your login and email address;
• your profile, photo, address, settings, block list and notification list;
• your CV file, and the files attached to your jobs;
• if you're a worker, your applications;
• if you're an employer, your jobs and all applications to them;
• reviews of you;
• your points, rank, leaderboard line and invite code, and the records of whose code you used and who used yours.

If you signed in with Apple, we also ask Apple to end the app's access to your Apple ID.

What remains:

• Messages you sent stay visible to the people you sent them to, because the conversation is theirs too. Your name is no longer shown.
• Reviews you wrote stay on the other person's profile, without your name.
• Reports about you or by you are kept for safety reasons for the period in section 7.
• Short-lived server logs expire on their own.

If you can't use the app, email a.odeh20003@gmail.com from the address on your account and we'll delete it for you.

Deleted information is permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymized, subject to backup retention periods (section 7), legal obligations, and legitimate operational requirements.

9. Your choices and rights

• See and correct your information. Everything on your profile can be edited in the app.
• Delete it. See section 8.
• Get a copy. Email us and we'll send your information in a common format within 30 days.
• Notifications. You can turn off notification emails in the app, and push notifications in your phone's settings.
• Location. You can refuse or withdraw location permission in your phone's settings. You can still search for places by typing.
• Leaderboard. Turn off "Show me on the leaderboard" on the leaderboard page. Your points and rank still count, and employers you apply to still see your badge.
• Block and report. Use the menu at the top of a job or a chat. A person you block can't message you or apply to your jobs, and their jobs and chats are hidden from you. They aren't told.
• Complain. Contact us first. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority (in the UAE, the UAE Data Office).

This Privacy Policy has been developed with due regard to internationally recognized data protection and privacy principles and is intended, where applicable, to align with relevant requirements of data protection laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD), and other applicable privacy laws. However, nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be construed as a representation, warranty, or guarantee of full compliance with any specific legal regime in all circumstances. Compliance obligations may vary depending on the jurisdiction, nature of the processing activities, and applicable legal requirements.

10. How we protect it

• Access to every piece of information is checked on our servers, not only hidden in the app. The servers check who you are and whether you are allowed to see or change that information.
• Information is encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Information that only you should see is readable only by you. That includes your address, settings, notification token and block list.
• There are limits against spam and automated abuse.

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

11. Children

Job For Me is not for children. Everyone using it must be at least 18 years old. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you believe a child has an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

12. Applicable Data Protection Laws

This Privacy Policy applies globally. The collection, use, storage, transfer, and processing of personal data shall be subject to the applicable data protection, privacy, and other mandatory laws and regulations that apply to the relevant processing activities. Where mandatory rights or protections are granted to data subjects under applicable law, such rights and protections shall prevail over any inconsistent provision of this Privacy Policy.

The Service is intended for international use. Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of the Service complies with the laws and regulations applicable in their jurisdiction, including employment, immigration, labor, privacy, and data protection requirements.

13. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app before the change takes effect, and update the date at the top.
