1. Who we are
getRemoteWorkJobs ("we", "us", "our") operates the website getremoteworkjobs.com. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect your personal data when you use our platform. We are committed to respecting your privacy and complying with applicable data-protection laws, including the GDPR and CCPA where applicable.
2. Data we collect
We collect data you provide directly — such as your name, email address, and any preferences you set (timezone, job categories, work type). We also collect technical data automatically, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referral source. If you contact us, we store your message and email address to reply.
3. How we use your data
We use your data to operate the platform (deliver job listings, save your preferences, send job alerts), to improve the service (analytics, performance monitoring), to communicate with you (respond to enquiries, service updates), and to maintain security (detect abuse, enforce our Terms of Service).
4. Legal basis for processing
We process your data based on: (a) your consent, where you've opted in to communications or alerts; (b) contractual necessity, to deliver the service you signed up for; (c) legitimate interests, to improve the platform and prevent abuse — balanced against your rights and freedoms.
5. Cookies & tracking
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences. We use analytics cookies (e.g. privacy-focused analytics) to understand how the platform is used. We do not use third-party advertising trackers. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting core functionality.
6. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with: (a) infrastructure providers (hosting, email delivery) who process data on our behalf under strict data-processing agreements; (b) law enforcement, if required by a valid legal request. We do not share your data with employers listed on the platform.
7. Data retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain it (e.g. transaction records). Contact-form messages are retained for up to 12 months after the last reply.
8. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to: access the data we hold about you; correct inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; restrict or object to processing; receive your data in a portable format; withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any right, email us at privacy@getremoteworkjobs.com. We respond within 30 days.
9. Data security
We protect your data with industry-standard measures: encrypted connections (TLS), secure password hashing, access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information and promptly address any incidents.
10. International transfers
Our infrastructure may process data in countries outside your own. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms) to protect your data to the standard required by applicable law.
11. Children's privacy
Our platform is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on the platform. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
13. Contact us
If you have questions about this policy or your data, email us at privacy@getremoteworkjobs.com or use the contact form on our website. We aim to respond within two working days.
