Privacy Policy

1. Privacy Commitment & Overview

At USA Job Search, we respect your right to privacy and are committed to protecting candidate personal data. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect when you explore career openings, utilize our search filters, check resume match rates, or sign up for job notification digests.

We adhere to strict data minimization principles: we only collect information necessary to provide career discovery tooling and job alert delivery.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on your interaction with USA Job Search, we may collect:

• Voluntary Contact Information: Your email address and optional phone number when subscribing to job alert notifications.
• Search & Filter Preferences: Search keywords (e.g. "Software Engineer", "Registered Nurse"), location criteria, and remote work filters to deliver customized listings.
• Session & Interaction Data: Non-personally identifiable technical details including device browser type, screen resolution, referring URLs, and approximate geographic location (city/state level).

3. Resume Data & ATS Scanning Security

Your resume text is never shared with prospective employers or third-party advertisers unless you choose to submit it directly on an employer's application portal.

4. Automated Analytics & Performance Logging

To maintain high directory responsiveness, prevent bot abuse, and monitor API load, our servers log aggregated diagnostic telemetry such as:

• Request timestamps and API response latency.
• Aggregate category pageview trends.
• Error telemetry for broken outbound employer links.

5. How We Use Your Information

Information collected is strictly utilized for the following authorized business purposes:

• Delivering relevant, verified US job opportunities matching your specified keywords.
• Sending weekly executive career updates and ATS formatting guidance to confirmed email subscribers.
• Maintaining cookie consent records and UI preferences across browser sessions.
• Detecting and mitigating unauthorized web scrapers and fraudulent spam submissions.

6. Third-Party Portals & Outbound Redirects

Our job postings link directly to external employer platforms (e.g. corporate career pages, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, LinkedIn, Indeed).

Once you click an outbound application link, any data you provide on that platform is subject to the external party's privacy policy. We encourage reviewing their respective data handling disclosures prior to submitting confidential employment history.

7. Cookies & Local Storage Preferences

We use cookies and localStorage to remember your cookie consent choice, prevent repetitive email popup prompts, and optimize your navigation speed.

For detailed descriptions of each cookie category and how to adjust or revoke your consent, please review our dedicated Cookie Policy.

8. Your Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA & GDPR)

Depending on your geographic residency, you may exercise specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know / Access: Request a summary of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Delete: Request deletion of your email subscription and stored contact details.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale / Sharing: We do not sell or monetize candidate personal information.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: Exercising your privacy rights will not result in reduced service access or fees.

9. Data Retention & Security Safeguards

We maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

Subscriber email addresses are retained until an unsubscribe request is initiated, upon which the address is promptly expunged or suppressed from active mailings.
