Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Introduction

Book Jobs EU ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard personal data when you visit bookjobs.eu (the "Site").

We process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and applicable national data protection laws in the European Economic Area (EEA).

By using the Site, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Where we rely on consent (for example, for optional marketing), you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Information we collect

Information you provide

You do not need an account to browse job listings or follow external apply links. If you register, save jobs, maintain a profile, post a role (employers), or contact us, we may collect information such as your name, email address, optional profile details (including a résumé or CV if you upload one), and any other details you choose to submit.

Automatically collected information

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect:

  • Usage data — pages viewed, searches, filters used, and general interaction patterns
  • Device and technical data — browser type, operating system, IP address, and similar identifiers

How we use your information

We use personal data to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Site
  • Enable account features such as saved jobs and employer listings, where applicable
  • Respond to enquiries and support requests
  • Monitor security, prevent abuse, and protect the Site

Legal bases for processing

Depending on the activity, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests — to run and keep the Site secure, where those interests are not overridden by your rights
  • Contract — where processing is necessary to provide features you request (for example, account functionality)
  • Consent — where required by law, such as for certain optional marketing communications
  • Legal obligation — where we must comply with applicable law

Third-party services

The Site uses third-party providers for hosting, authentication, email, and security.

  • Authentication and storage — our hosting provider stores account data and sets strictly necessary session cookies when you sign in; optional résumé or CV files may be stored if you upload them to your profile
  • Email — transactional and newsletter messages
  • Social sign-in — when you choose to sign in with a third-party account
  • External links — job listings link to employer and third-party application pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites

Some providers may process data outside the EEA. Where this occurs, we take steps intended to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, consistent with EU GDPR transfer requirements.

Analytics

We do not currently use third-party analytics scripts on this Site. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies only where needed for the Site to work or to remember choices you make. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

  • Strictly necessary — session cookies when you are signed in, so account features work
  • Functional — if you change how job listings are displayed (for example, grid or list view), we may store that preference in a cookie so the Site remembers your choice

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent some features (such as staying signed in) from working.

Data security and retention

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No online service can be guaranteed completely secure.

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Children

The Site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

We do not sell your data

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your personal data for third-party behavioural advertising.

Your rights

Under the EU GDPR, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Request erasure of your data in certain circumstances
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Request data portability, where applicable
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. A list of EEA authorities is published by the European Data Protection Board at edpb.europa.eu. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve your concern.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
