Privacy policy

ClearJobs is operated by VENTURES.EU, UNIPESSOAL, LDA, Rua Rodrigues Sampaio, Nº 31, 4 Dto, 1250-008 Lisboa, Portugal. VAT and company number PT 516502530. We are the controller of your personal data.

Questions, requests and complaints: info@clearjobs.eu. You can also complain to the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), Portugal.

Your account: an email address and a password we never see in plain text after you type it.

When you join: your email address, how you heard about us if you tell us, and the country your connection came from, as a two-letter code. We do not store your IP address itself, only that country and a one-way fingerprint of the address that stops one place opening many accounts. When you confirm your email from the message we send, also when you did.

Your CV and what we read from it: the files you upload, and the structured profile derived from them — employers, titles, dates, skills, languages, education.

What you tell us you want: countries, remote preference, salary floor, right to work, and the companies you watch.

What we worked out: a score and a verdict per role, with the reasons, and what you then did — declined, applied, and what happened after.

How you used the product: which steps you reached, and which days you used it while signed in, as labels. Never the text of your CV, a job description or a salary figure — that rule is enforced in three places, including a database trigger that refuses the write.

Where you came from: if an advert or a link brought you here, the campaign it belonged to and the click identifier the advertising platform (Google or Meta) attached to it, so we can tell which adverts work. This is kept with the visit, not with your account, and it is never used to show you adverts.

What we send you, and what became of it: a record of each email we sent you — its purpose, when, and whether it was delivered, bounced or opened — so we never send twice and stop when an address stops working. When you delete your account the address is removed from that record.

To provide the service you asked for — reading your CV, matching roles, keeping your applications. That is performance of our contract with you, and without it there is no product.

To keep the service working and honest — measuring whether our verdicts actually predict interviews, and keeping the crawl healthy. That is our legitimate interest, and it is served by counts rather than by reading anybody's CV.

Never to advertise to you or to sell you. We do not share your profile with employers or recruiters, and there is no arrangement under which we could.

Employers can ask us to help them hire. They cannot search for people, and no profile, CV or match is shown to an employer without your explicit consent to that specific role.

This is built rather than promised: the table holding employer enquiries has no route to any table holding your data, and an automated test fails the build if one is ever added.

Everything we store — the database, your profile, your uploaded files — is held in the European Union. The file bucket is private; files are reachable only through a short-lived link issued to you.

Reading your CV and scoring roles means sending text outside the EU. Our model provider cannot be restricted to Europe — the setting offers the United States or a global pool, and there is no European option. So your data is stored in the EU and processed, for that step, outside it. We would rather tell you than let you assume.

CVs sometimes carry health information, union membership, religion, political views or a photograph. We do not ask for any of it, we do not want it, and we do not use it for anything.

Being straight about the state of this: the work to make our CV reader actively discard those categories is being built and is not finished. Until it is, please feel free to remove them before uploading — and if you would like a CV deleted for that reason, ask and it goes immediately.

We score roles against your profile automatically and tell you which are worth your time. That is advice to you about jobs, not a decision about you: nobody is refused anything on the strength of it, no employer sees it, and it has no legal effect on you.

You can disagree with any verdict in the product, and doing so changes what we show you next.

While you have an account, and until you delete it. Deleting your account removes your profile, your uploaded files, every match and verdict, your applications and their history, and the login itself. Nothing is archived and there is nothing to restore.

Being straight about this too: we do not yet have an automated job that deletes old data on a schedule. Today retention means "until you ask, or until you delete your account", both of which work now. A timed policy is being built.

You can see and correct your profile in the product, download everything we hold, and delete your account, all without asking anybody:

You also have the right to object to processing, to ask us to restrict it, and to complain to the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), Portugal. Write to info@clearjobs.eu and we answer within 30 days, usually the same week.

The product itself sets no cookies: signing in uses two pieces of browser storage, and that is all. The cookie page lists them. On the public pages we ask before measuring: Microsoft Clarity loads only if you accept it, and the same page lets you withdraw that at any time. Nothing is measured inside the product beyond the step labels described above.

Every digest, reminder and notice carries a one-click link that stops it, and the notifications page sets what you get and when, down to nothing. Product updates are off unless you turn them on. The only email that cannot be turned off is the kind you ask for by acting: a sign-in link, a password reset, a receipt.

No lawyer has reviewed this. It was written from what the system actually does, by the people who built it, and every factual claim in it was checked against the running product. It is accurate; it is not professional advice, and it will be reviewed before we charge anybody.
