Last updated: 11 December 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how JobSite.az (“JobSite”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit our website https://www.jobsite.az or use our services as a job seeker or employer.

By using JobSite.az, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Who we are and how to contact us

JobSite.az is a job posting and job search platform based in Azerbaijan. (jobsite.az)

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, you can contact us at:

  • Email: info@jobsite.az

We are the controller of the personal data we collect about you through JobSite.az (except where this policy explains otherwise).

2. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to:

  • Visitors to our website (job seekers, employers, and other users)

  • Registered users who create an account with email, Sign in with Google, or Sign in with LinkedIn

  • Employers who post job listings and manage applications

It covers personal data we collect online via JobSite.az and associated services.

3. Personal data we collect

3.1. Account and login data

We collect the information needed to create and manage your account.

When you sign up with email:

  • Email address

  • Password (stored in encrypted/hashed form)

  • Basic account metadata (e.g., registration date, last login)

When you use Sign in with Google:

If you choose to sign in using the “Sign in with Google” button, Google will ask you to consent to share your basic profile information with JobSite.az. Depending on Google’s interface and your settings, we may receive:

  • Your Google account email address (required)

  • Your name

  • Your profile picture

  • A unique Google identifier or token for authentication

Google shares this via a secure token (JWT) after you consent to sign in.

We use this information solely to:

  • Create a JobSite.az account for you (if you don’t already have one), or

  • Log you in to your existing JobSite.az account

We do not access your Gmail messages, Google Drive files, or any other Google data beyond what you explicitly authorize through the Google login scopes we request.

When you use Sign in with LinkedIn:

If you choose to sign in with LinkedIn, LinkedIn will ask you to consent to share certain information with us. Typically this includes:

  • Your LinkedIn account email address

  • Your name

  • Your public LinkedIn profile information (e.g., profile picture, headline), depending on LinkedIn’s configuration

We use this information only to create and authenticate your JobSite.az account.

Important: You can manage what data Google and LinkedIn share with third‑party sites like JobSite.az via your Google Account and LinkedIn account settings at any time.

3.2. Profile, job application and employer data

Depending on how you use JobSite.az, we may also process:

For job seekers:

  • Name and contact details (phone, email, city/country)

  • CV / résumé, cover letter and any attached documents

  • Employment history, education, skills, desired roles

  • Messages or applications you send to employers through JobSite.az

For employers / recruiters:

  • Company name, industry and location

  • Contact person’s details (name, position, phone, email)

  • Job descriptions, salary ranges (if provided), and other job‑related information

When you apply to a job through JobSite.az, we share your application details (such as your CV and contact information) with the employer who posted that job, because this is necessary to provide the service you request (submitting an application).

3.3. Automatically collected data (logs and device information)

When you visit JobSite.az, we automatically collect certain technical data, such as:

  • IP address

  • Browser type and version

  • Device type and operating system

  • Referring URL (how you arrived at JobSite.az)

  • Pages viewed, clicks, and other interaction data

  • Date and time of your visits

This information is used for security, performance monitoring, fraud prevention, and to improve our services.

4. Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate JobSite.az, understand how it is used, and run our marketing and analytics. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

You can manage cookies via your browser settings and, where required by law, via our cookie banner or consent tools.

4.1. Types of cookies we use

  • Strictly necessary cookies – required for the basic operation of the site (e.g., keeping you logged in, maintaining session security).

  • Performance and analytics cookies – help us understand how users interact with JobSite.az so we can improve it.

  • Advertising and measurement cookies – used to measure the effectiveness of our ads and, where applicable, to show you more relevant advertising on other platforms.

4.2. Third‑party tools and services

We use the following third‑party analytics and advertising tools. These providers place cookies or similar technologies in your browser and may collect information such as your IP address, device identifiers, pages visited, and events (views, clicks, conversions). They use this information to provide us with analytics reports and/or advertising services.

We do not give these providers your JobSite.az account password or direct access to your CV or messages.

Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel)

We use the Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) to track visits and conversions from Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and to measure the effectiveness of our ads. The Pixel uses cookies to track actions on our website (such as visiting pages or completing forms) after you see or click our ads. 

LinkedIn Insight Tag

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to measure interactions with our LinkedIn ads, track conversions, and understand which types of professionals visit our site. This tag allows LinkedIn to set cookies in your browser to help us generate anonymized reports and, where enabled, retarget visitors with LinkedIn ads.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use JobSite.az – for example, which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and which traffic sources bring users to us. Google Analytics works by placing a small piece of JavaScript code on our site that collects pseudonymous usage data and aggregates it into reports.

Google Ads (conversion tracking / remarketing)

We may use Google Ads tags to measure the performance of our Google Ads campaigns (for example, whether someone who clicked our ad went on to create an account) and, where enabled, to show you tailored ads for JobSite.az on Google or its partners’ sites.

Yandex Metrica

We use Yandex Metrica, a web analytics service that provides advanced reporting, session replay, and heatmaps to help us understand how users interact with JobSite.az and improve our user experience. 

Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity, a user behavior analytics tool that records anonymized session replays and heatmaps to show us how users navigate JobSite.az. Clarity is designed with privacy features such as IP anonymization and data minimization, and it helps us optimize usability and performance.

Mixpanel

We use Mixpanel as a product analytics platform to measure how users interact with specific features on JobSite.az (e.g., creating profiles, saving jobs, posting vacancies). Mixpanel is event‑based: it tracks actions like clicks, views, and other interactions so we can analyze funnels, retention, and feature usage.

4.3. Your choices regarding cookies

Depending on where you are located, we may ask for your consent before storing non‑essential cookies (for example, in the EU/EEA or UK). You can:

  • Use our cookie banner or preferences center (if available) to accept or reject categories of cookies.

  • Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies.

  • Use tools provided by Meta, Google, LinkedIn and others to manage how your data is used for advertising on their platforms.

If you disable certain cookies, some features of JobSite.az may not function correctly.

We share your personal data only as necessary to operate JobSite.az and provide the services you request. This includes:

  1. Employers and job seekers (within the platform)

    • When you apply to a job or otherwise choose to contact an employer via JobSite.az, we share your application details with that employer (e.g., your CV, contact information, and any message you send).

    • If you are an employer, your company name, logo, and job postings may be visible to job seekers and visitors on JobSite.az.

  2. Service providers (processors)
    We use carefully selected service providers to help us run JobSite.az (for example hosting providers, email delivery services, analytics providers and advertising platforms listed above). These service providers may process personal data on our behalf and only according to our instructions.

7.2. No selling of your personal data

  • We do not sell or rent your personal data.

  • We do not share your email address, account password, or CV with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

The third‑party analytics and advertising tools we use (Meta, LinkedIn, Google, Yandex, Microsoft, Mixpanel) collect data directly from your browser or device when you interact with JobSite.az, under their own privacy policies. They use this data to provide us with measurement and analytics services and, where applicable, to help us show you relevant ads.

Apart from:

  • Employers you choose to apply to or contact,

  • Our service providers acting on our behalf, and

  • Legal or regulatory requirements,

we do not disclose your personal data to any other third party.

7.3. Legal and safety‑related disclosures

We may also disclose personal data when we believe it is necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law or a valid legal request (e.g., court order)

  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of JobSite.az, our users, or the public

  • Detect, prevent, or address fraud or security issues

8. Additional terms for “Sign in with Google”

Because we use Google Sign‑In, we follow the Google API Services User Data Policy, which requires clear and prominent privacy disclosures, requesting only the minimum permissions needed, and limiting how we use Google user data. (Google for Developers)

Specifically:

  1. Limited data access

    • We only request the minimum scopes necessary for authentication (e.g., basic profile information and email address, depending on your consent). We do not access your Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or other Google services.

  2. Use of Google user data

    • We use Google user data only to:

      • Create and log you into your JobSite.az account

      • Securely associate your JobSite.az account with your Google identity

  3. No use for unrelated advertising

    • We do not use data obtained from Google Sign‑In (such as your email address or profile data) for targeted advertising on third‑party platforms or for unrelated profiling.

    • We do not transfer Google user data to advertising platforms or data brokers in violation of Google’s policies. (Google for Developers)

  4. No unauthorized sharing

    • We do not share Google user data with third parties except:

      • As necessary to provide our services (e.g., secure authentication, hosting),

      • For security purposes (e.g., investigating fraud or abuse),

      • To comply with legal obligations, or

      • As part of a merger or acquisition, with appropriate safeguards.

  5. Transparency and updates

    • If we ever change how we use data obtained via Google Sign‑In in a way that is materially different from what is described here, we will update this Privacy Policy and, where required, ask you to consent to the new use before it takes effect.

You can revoke JobSite.az’s access to your Google account at any time from your Google Account settings. However, doing so may prevent you from signing in with Google unless you set a separate email/password login with us.

9. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

  • Maintain your account and provide the services you request

  • Comply with legal obligations

  • Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

In general:

  • Account data is kept while your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data, unless we must keep certain data for legal or legitimate business purposes.

  • Job applications and related communications may be retained for a period in line with local labor and contract law or until you delete them, whichever is earlier, subject to legal requirements.

  • Analytics and log data are retained for a limited period appropriate for analysis and security (for example, a few months), then either deleted or anonymized.

Employers may keep copies of applications and CVs they receive through JobSite.az under their own data retention policies. They act as independent controllers of that data once they receive it. You may need to contact them directly to request deletion.

10. International transfers

Our servers and certain service providers may be located in countries other than the one where you live. This means your personal data may be processed outside your country, potentially in jurisdictions with different data protection laws.

Where required by law, we will ensure that transfers of personal data are subject to appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms) to protect your information.

11. Your rights and choices

Depending on the laws of your country or region (for example, EEA/UK data protection laws), you may have some or all of the following rights:

  • Access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you

  • Rectification – request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data

  • Deletion – request deletion of certain data (“right to be forgotten”)

  • Restriction – request that we restrict processing in certain circumstances

  • Portability – receive your data in a structured, commonly used format

  • Object – object to certain processing, including profiling based on legitimate interests

  • Withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent (for example, cookies or marketing), you can withdraw it at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@jobsite.az. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe that our processing of your personal data violates applicable law.

12. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration, including:

  • Encrypted connections (HTTPS)

  • Secure storage of passwords using industry‑standard hashing

  • Access controls and internal policies limiting access to personal data

However, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials (if you use email/password) confidential.

13. Children’s privacy

JobSite.az is intended for adults and for people who are legally allowed to work or seek employment in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 (or a higher age threshold where required by local law).

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data to JobSite.az, please contact us at info@jobsite.az so we can delete it.

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons.

When we make material changes, we will:

  • Update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page, and

  • Provide additional notice where required by law (for example, via email or a banner on the site)

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about how we handle your personal data.
