Information We Collect

Your Rights

To access, correct, or delete your personal data, contact us at hello@garnetgrid.com.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy law:

California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email above.
EEA/UK residents (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Data Retention

Job posting text submitted for analysis is processed in real time and is not retained after the analysis is returned to you. Account data (email address, billing information) is retained for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, we delete or anonymize personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by applicable law (e.g., financial records required for tax compliance).

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies and device identifiers to serve personalized ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info. Google's use of advertising cookies is described in Google's advertising policy.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit and security controls on our infrastructure. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure — while we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide more prominent notice (such as an email notification to registered users). Continued use of the service after a policy change constitutes acceptance of the new policy.

Children's Privacy

DecodeThisJob is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, contact us immediately at hello@garnetgrid.com.
