1. Introduction

Welcome to Jobwala24 (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website jobwala24.xyz (the “Site”), use our job search and application features, read our career blog, or otherwise interact with our services.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site. By using the Site, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. This policy applies to all visitors, registered and unregistered users, job applicants, newsletter subscribers, and anyone who contacts us through the Site.

Jobwala24 is operated from India and serves a primarily Indian audience, while remaining accessible worldwide. We have designed this policy to comply with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA).

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information You Provide

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you:

• Apply for a job: your name, email address, phone number, resume/CV file, cover letter, and any other details you choose to include in your application.
• Fill out our contact form: your name, email address, subject, and message content.
• Submit a comment on a blog post: your name, email address, and comment content.
• Subscribe to our newsletter: your email address.
• Communicate with us by email or any other channel: any information contained in your correspondence.

You are not legally required to provide this information, but if you choose not to, you may be unable to use certain features (for example, you cannot submit a job application without providing your contact details).

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information about your device and browsing activity, including:

• IP address (used for security, rate-limiting, and approximate location)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system and device type
• Referring URLs and the pages you visit on our Site
• Date and time of your visit and time spent on pages
• Search terms used within the Site
• Other diagnostic and analytics data

2.3 Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences (such as dark mode), and—only with your consent—to measure traffic and serve advertising. See Section 3 below for full details.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small data files placed on your device. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and store certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. You can also manage your choices at any time through our cookie consent banner or the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

Types of cookies we use:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the basic functionality of the Site, such as session management, security (CSRF protection), and remembering your cookie choices. These are always active and do not require consent.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting information. These are set only after you grant consent.
• Advertising Cookies: Used by Google AdSense to deliver relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness. These are set only after you grant consent.
• Personalization Cookies: Remember preferences such as theme and language. Set only with consent.

Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2 on a deny-by-default basis. This means that until you actively grant consent through our cookie banner, advertising storage, ad personalization, ad user data, and analytics storage are all set to “denied,” and no advertising or analytics cookies are written to your device. Your choice is remembered locally and you can change it at any time.

4. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics

We use third-party advertising and analytics companies. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide measurement services and target advertisements.

4.1 Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), to display advertisements on our Site. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site or other websites, subject to your consent.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our Site or other sites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You may also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

4.2 DoubleClick Cookie

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads on our Site. This enables Google and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4.3 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics may collect information such as the pages you visit, your approximate geographic location (city/region level), your device and browser, how you arrived at our Site, and interactions with site features.

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies (prefixed with _ga) to distinguish unique users and track sessions. These cookies are set only when you grant consent via our cookie banner. We have configured Google Analytics with privacy safeguards: IP anonymization is enabled by default in GA4, data sharing with Google products is minimized, and Google Consent Mode v2 ensures no analytics cookies are set until you grant consent. You may also opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

These measures include HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, server-side input validation, CSRF protection, rate limiting, access controls on uploaded resumes, and restricted administrative access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
