Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, an account ID (and a handle, if you choose one), profile details such as the location you enter and a short bio, the photos, videos and audio you upload, your CV/resume, the posts, comments and messages you write, and the pay range on a listing or a Looking for Work post. Usage Data: What you do in the app, such as your swipes, the listings you view, likes, follows and the notifications we send you. We use it to run the app, for example for matching, chat, notifications and the view counts on listings. SwipingJobs does not currently use third-party analytics or advertising services. Technical Data: Device type, operating system, IP address and browser type (kept with your sign-in sessions), the device token used to send push notifications, and cookies (if accessing via web). Location Data: SwipingJobs may collect and use your device's approximate or precise location data to provide location-based job recommendations, improve job search accuracy, and enhance overall user experience. Location data is only accessed when necessary and only with your consent. You may disable location permissions at any time through your device settings. Identity Documents: if you choose to verify your identity, a photo of your passport, ID card or driver's license (see Identity Verification Documents below). Verification Records: if you verify with LinkedIn, we receive the profile details you allow; for every verification we keep its type and status. Age Confirmation: SwipingJobs is for people who are 18 or older; when you confirm this, we keep the confirmation with its date and the wording you saw (we do not ask for your date of birth).

How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account.
• To provide job matching and communication features.
• To suggest jobs or candidates near your location based on location data (if permitted).
• To improve our services, app performance, and user experience.
• To send important updates and notifications about your account and activity, such as matches and messages.
• To comply with legal obligations in the UAE and other applicable jurisdictions.

Sharing of Information

Employers/Job Seekers: Your profile data is shared as part of the job-matching process. Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third parties that help us run the app, for example for hosting, sending verification codes by SMS, storing media, sending push and e-mail notifications, and turning a location you type into map coordinates, under strict confidentiality agreements. Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or legal process. Business Transfers: In case of merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of the transaction.

Service Providers We Use

These companies process data for us so the app and the website can work. Each one receives only what its job needs. AI providers are listed in the next section.

• Hosting (Hetzner): your account, profile, messages and identity documents are stored on servers we rent from Hetzner. Purpose: to run the app and the website.
• Verification codes by SMS (Twilio): your phone number. Twilio sends the code to it and checks the code you enter. Purpose: to log you in and to confirm a new phone number.
• Photos, videos and files (Bunny.net): the photos, videos, audio, CVs and other documents you upload, and the IP address of anyone who views them. Purpose: to store your media and deliver it quickly. Identity documents are not stored here.
• E-mail (Google Workspace): your e-mail address and the text of the e-mail, which can include the name of the person who wrote to you and a job title, and what you write in the account recovery form. Purpose: to send e-mail notifications, which you can turn off, and e-mail verification codes.
• App notifications (Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service): your device's notification token and the notification text, which can include a sender's name and the start of a message. Purpose: to send push notifications on Android and iOS.
• Browser notifications (your browser's push service, for example from Google, Mozilla or Apple): the address your browser gives us for notifications and the notification in encrypted form. Purpose: to send notifications on the website, if you turn them on.
• Place search (OpenStreetMap Nominatim): the place name you type, or your coordinates when you use your current location on the website. Our server sends the request, so OpenStreetMap does not receive your IP address. Purpose: to suggest places and put them on the map.
• Current location in the app (BigDataCloud): your coordinates and IP address, sent from your device when you tap "Use current location" while creating a listing. Purpose: to fill in your city and country.

AI Features & Third-Party AI Providers

Some features send your data to AI companies that process it for us. We do this only after you agree in the app, the first time you use one of these features, and you can say no and keep using the rest of SwipingJobs. The AI companies handle the data under their own privacy terms.

• Writing help and CV import (OpenAI): the job titles, descriptions and notes you type, the location and pay range, and the text of your CV when you create a listing from it. Purpose: to write, correct or draft listing text. If a listing has no photo or video, its title and description are also sent to OpenAI to generate a picture for it.
• AI voice interviews (Vapi and Deepgram): your voice during the interview, the live transcript, your name, the job title and the interview questions. Vapi runs the voice call and Deepgram converts speech to text. Purpose: to hold the interview.
• AI interview scoring (OpenAI): when an interview ends, we send OpenAI the transcript, the job title and description and the interview questions; we do not add your name or phone number. OpenAI returns a score from 0 to 100 for communication, technical depth and cultural fit, one sentence of reasoning for each and a short summary; the overall score is the average of the three. If the candidate said too little to judge (under 30 words), no score is given. The employer sees the scores and can share them with you in the chat. They are an AI-generated assessment, not a hiring decision, and are shown with a reminder to review the transcript.
• We record the date and version of your agreement. You can withdraw it at any time under Settings → Privacy → AI features, in the SwipingJobs app or on swipingjobs.com, or by emailing us at the address below; the AI features then stay off for your account until you agree again.

Identity Verification Documents

Verifying your identity is optional. If you do, you upload a photo of your passport, ID card or driver's license in Settings → Verification Center.

• Purpose: we use it only to check that you are who you say you are and, if so, to show a verified badge on your profile. We don't use it for anything else and don't send it to AI providers.
• Where: on our server, in a private folder that is not on our public content network. It is never shown on your profile or to other users.
• Who sees it: only our verification team, through a link that works for 5 minutes.
• When it is deleted: 7 days after we approve or reject your request; 30 days after you send it if it hasn't been reviewed by then (you can then send it again); and right away if you delete your account or the request. A photo you upload but don't send is deleted the next day.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data as long as your account is active or as required to provide our services. You can delete your account at any time in the app from Settings → Account. Your account is closed right away and your data is permanently deleted within 30 days. Identity documents are deleted sooner, as described above.

Your Rights

• Access: You may request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Correction: You may request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: You may request account and data deletion.
• Notifications: You can turn off push notifications in your device settings, and e-mail notifications with the unsubscribe link in each e-mail.
• Location Control: You can revoke location permissions through your device settings at any time.

Security of Your Data

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data.

International Data Transfers

As SwipingJobs operates globally, your information may be transferred and processed outside your home country. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for all international data transfers in compliance with applicable laws.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. Updates will be communicated through the app and on our official website.
