Welcome to JobScrape ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our job aggregation platform.
By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

- Username and hashed password (when registering manually)
- Account creation date and last login

d) Third-Party Data (Scraped Jobs)

3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected data to:

4. Google OAuth
When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google as permitted by your Google account settings. We use this only for authentication purposes. We do not access your Google Drive, Gmail, contacts, or any other Google services.
5. Razorpay Payments
Payments are processed securely by Razorpay. When you purchase a credit package:
- You are redirected to or interact with Razorpay's secure payment interface
- Razorpay collects and processes your payment details under their own Privacy Policy
- We receive only a confirmation of successful payment and your transaction ID
6. Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|
| Account data | Until account deletion |
| Payment records | 5 years (legal/tax compliance) |
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
- Hashed passwords (bcrypt) — never stored in plain text
- Restricted database access on a need-to-know basis
- Regular security audits of our scraper infrastructure
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access — Request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Correction — Ask us to correct inaccurate personal data
- Deletion — Request deletion of your account and associated data
- Data Portability — Receive your data in a structured format
- Withdraw Consent — Disconnect Google OAuth at any time
9. Third-Party Services
Our platform interacts with:
- Google OAuth — Authentication
- Razorpay — Payment processing
- LinkedIn, Naukri, Indeed, Instahyre — Public job data sources (we are not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these platforms)
Each third-party service has its own Privacy Policy, and we encourage you to review them.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
