2) Information We Collect

- Automatically collected data: IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, cookies and similar technologies.
- Derived/aggregated data: anonymized statistics used to improve models and user experience.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories (e.g., health, religion, political opinions).

4) Legal Bases (where applicable)
Depending on your location, our processing may rely on consent, contractual necessity, legitimate interests (e.g., security, product improvement), and/or compliance with legal obligations.
5) Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Service providers (hosting, analytics, anti-bot/CAPTCHA, advertising networks, AI API processing) under contracts that require confidentiality and limit use to our instructions.
- Legal authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

6) Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and analyze usage. You can control cookies via your browser settings; some features may not function correctly if disabled.
7) Advertising & Third-Party Services
Our site may use third-party services such as Google AdSense/Ads and analytics tools, which may set their own cookies subject to their policies. Links to external job boards (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor) are provided for your convenience; their privacy practices are outside our control.
8) Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here or as required by law. Aggregated/anonymized data may be retained longer for statistical and research purposes.
9) Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
