• Subscription, invoice and billing information, including payment status and transaction history. Card and bank details are processed directly by Stripe and are not stored by us.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• Provide job board and recruitment-related services
• Create and manage user accounts

Payments and subscription billing are processed by Stripe. We do not collect or store complete card or bank-account details. Stripe’s privacy policy applies to information processed through its payment and customer portal services: stripe.com/privacy

Emails and Communications

By signing up, you agree to receive emails from us, including job alerts, service updates, and construction industry news. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email or your account settings. We will continue to send essential transactional emails (receipts, security notices, application confirmations) while your account is active.

Lawful bases (UK GDPR)

Where UK GDPR applies, we rely on: performance of a contract (providing the job board services you signed up for), consent (marketing emails, optional cookies), legitimate interests (improving and securing the platform, industry updates relevant to your job search), and legal obligation (tax, accounting and regulatory requirements).

5. Sharing of Information

We only share personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We may share information with:

• Employers you choose to apply to or make your profile visible to
• Employer systems, including external Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) - see Section 6
• Job distribution partners - see Section 7
• Related companies and recruitment partners where you apply for a role or ask us to assist with your job search, we may share your details with related group companies and trusted recruitment partners for the purpose of placing you into construction industry roles
• Service providers such as hosting, analytics and email delivery, who act on our instructions
• Stripe, which processes payments, subscriptions, invoices and access to the customer billing portal

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it for purposes unrelated to those described in this Privacy Policy, except where required or permitted by law.

6. Employer Access and Forwarding to Employer Systems

Where job seekers apply for roles or make their profile visible, the receiving employer acts as an independent data controller and is responsible for its own compliance with privacy laws.

Applications may be forwarded to external systems. Some employers use third-party Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) or recruitment software. When you apply, your application may be transmitted directly into the employer's ATS or external platform. From that point, the employer's own privacy policy and terms govern your data. We recommend you review the employer's privacy policy and terms before applying, as their data handling practices are outside our control.

7. Job Distribution and Publishing Networks

To increase the reach of job listings, jobs posted on the Website may be republished or syndicated to third-party job boards, aggregators, and multi-platform publishing networks.

Where a job seeker applies via a partner platform, that platform's own privacy policy will also apply to data collected on it. We will update this Privacy Policy to identify specific distribution partners as we join these networks.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable core site functionality (essential cookies)
• Analyse traffic, usage and site performance so we can improve the platform
• Understand how users interact with pages so we can fix issues and improve user experience

Although we are not currently displaying AdSense ads, the integration may set cookies, and we may resume displaying ads in future. Google may use cookies to serve interest-based advertising.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information. No system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Data Retention
