Privacy Policy

Introduction

WorkAbilities (“we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of users of our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

Data We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use the site.

• Account information: name, email, phone number, password (hashed), role (jobseeker or employer), company information for employers.
• Profile & CV data: resumes, education, work history, skills, disability information (optional and consent-based).
• Job posts & applications: job title, description, location, salary range, application messages and attachments.
• Usage data: pages visited, IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referrer, cookies and analytics events.
• Payments & billing: billing address, payment transaction metadata (we do not store full card details — sensitive payment data is handled by our payment processors).

How We Use Data

We use collected data to:

1. Provide, operate and maintain the platform.
2. Process applications and allow employers to manage job postings.
3. Communicate with you, including service announcements and support.
4. Detect and prevent fraud and abuse, and maintain security.
5. Analyze and improve features and performance.
6. With consent, produce aggregated statistics (for research/government reporting) — personal identifiers are removed in aggregated exports.

Sharing & Disclosure

We may disclose data to:

• Service providers that help us operate (hosting, analytics, email, payment processors).
• Employers — when you apply to a job your application & CV are shared with that employer.
• Legal and safety reasons — where required by law or to respond to legal process or to protect rights and safety.
• Third parties with your explicit consent.

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels) to operate the site, remember preferences, enable sign-in, and provide analytics. You can manage cookie preferences using the cookie banner or your browser settings. Third-party analytics providers may set cookies; see their respective privacy policies for details.

Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data. Unfortunately, no system is 100% secure — if we become aware of a security incident affecting your personal information we will follow applicable law and attempt to notify affected users where required.

Data Retention

We retain personal data as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Account deletion requests will remove personal data per our data retention policy, but some derived or cached data may persist for a limited time for legitimate reasons.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to data portability and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights contact us at support@workabilities.example.

Children

Our services are not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn we have collected a child’s information in violation of law we will take steps to delete it.

International Transfers

We may transfer personal data across borders (including to countries with different data protection laws). Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to protect your data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll post the updated policy on this page and change the “Last updated” date. For material changes we may notify you by email or prominent notice on the site.
