Privacy Policy

Introduction

BookJobs UK ("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.uk (the "Site").

We process personal data in accordance with UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

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

Information we collect

Information you provide

You can browse job listings without creating an account. If you register, save jobs, post a role, or contact us, we may collect information such as your name, email address, and any 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
• Cookies and similar technologies — see the Cookies section below

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
• Understand how the Site is used and improve our services
• 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 improve the Site, keep it secure, and understand usage, 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, such as for non-essential cookies or certain marketing communications
• Legal obligation — where we must comply with applicable law

Third-party services

The Site may use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, email, and authentication.

• Analytics — privacy-focused analytics may collect aggregated usage data to help us understand traffic and improve the Site
• 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 UK. Where this occurs, we take steps intended to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, consistent with UK data protection requirements.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies where necessary for the Site to function and, with your consent where required, for analytics. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Site features.

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. Analytics data is typically retained for up to 26 months before deletion or anonymisation.

Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. 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.

• 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
