Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to Careertics ("I," "we," "us," or "our"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website www.careertics.com and all related applications, services, and tools (collectively, the "Services").
By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].
Privacy First: Careertics is designed with privacy in mind. We prioritize your privacy by storing your job comparison data locally on your device rather than on our servers. This approach ensures you maintain complete control over your data.
1. What Information Do We Collect?
We do not collect any personal information from you directly. All data related to job offer comparisons is stored locally in your browser. However, we may use cookies and third-party analytics tools to improve the functionality of our website.
Types of Information Collected
- Automatically Collected Information:
We may collect non-personal information such as IP addresses, browser type, and usage patterns through tools like Google Analytics to analyze how users interact with our platform. This information helps us identify potential issues and improve your experience.
- Cookies and Tracking:
We may use cookies to personalize your experience on our platform. These small text files are stored on your device and help enhance site functionality. You can manage cookies through your browser settings at any time by visiting your browser's preference or settings menu.
- Third-Party Services:
We use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze web traffic. This service may collect data about your browsing behavior but does not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Note: Your job comparison data, criteria, ratings, and other personal information you input into our tools remain exclusively on your local device and are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
2. How Do We Use Your Information?
We do not store, process, or access any personal job comparison data. Your comparisons and related data remain on your device, giving you complete control over your information.
How We Use Limited Collected Information
- Analytics:
We use aggregated and anonymous data from Google Analytics to improve our platform's performance and understand user behavior. This information helps us identify which features are most valuable and which areas of our site might need improvement. No personally identifiable information is collected or analyzed.
- Cookies:
We use cookies to maintain functionality, ensure security, and analyze how users interact with Careertics. For example, cookies help remember your preferences (like dark mode or language settings) and provide a more personalized experience when you return to our site.
Privacy Commitment: Our business model is not based on collecting or selling user data. We are committed to providing a useful tool that respects your privacy and gives you full control over your information.
3. Do We Share Your Information?
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Careertics does not store your personal data; however, we may share anonymized and aggregated usage data with third-party analytics services like Google Analytics to help improve our website.
Important: The anonymous usage data we share with analytics services cannot be used to identify you personally. It only provides general insights about how users interact with our website as a whole.
In the following limited circumstances, we may share certain information:
- To comply with applicable law or legal process
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of Careertics, our users, or the public
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case the successor entity would be bound by the same privacy commitments
4. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
We have implemented security measures to protect your information. Since we don't store any personal data on our servers, your comparison data is only accessible on your local browser. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our Security Practices
- We use HTTPS to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our website
- We regularly update our website and services to address potential security vulnerabilities
- We limit access to analytics data to only those team members who require it for improving our services
- We utilize industry-standard security measures for our infrastructure
Note on Local Storage: Data stored locally on your device is subject to your device's security. We recommend keeping your browser and operating system updated and using secure passwords for your devices.
5. How Long Do We Retain Data?
As we do not collect or store personal data, all comparison data remains local to your device. The cookies and analytics data are only stored as long as necessary for performance improvements or legal compliance.
Data Retention Periods
- Local Storage Data: Remains on your device until you clear your browser data or delete it through our application interface
- Cookies: Most cookies we use expire after your session ends or within 30 days, depending on their purpose
- Google Analytics Data: Retained according to Google Analytics' data retention policy, which is typically 26 months
6. Your Data, Your Rights
You have full control over your data. If you want to delete any cookies or local data stored by Careertics on your browser, you can do so via your browser settings.
We do not collect personal data that can be subjected to data rights requests (e.g., right to be forgotten, data access requests). However, if you have concerns about cookies or analytics, you can adjust these settings directly on your browser.
Managing Your Data
- Clear Comparison Data:
You can delete all your stored comparison data within our application by using the "Clear All Data" option in the settings menu.
- Manage Cookies:
To clear cookies for our website, visit your browser's settings or preferences menu. Look for options like "Clear browsing data" or "Manage cookies and site data."
- Opt Out of Analytics:
If you prefer not to be included in our analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on mentioned earlier or enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings.
Your Control: Since your data stays on your device, you have complete control over it at all times. You can export, delete, or modify your comparison data whenever you wish.
7. Minors
Careertics is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has used our platform, please contact us immediately.
Important: If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 18, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible.
8. Do Not Track Signals
We do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals from your browser because we do not track your activities beyond what's necessary for performance analytics.
Even though we don't specifically respond to DNT signals, our minimal tracking approach aligns with the intent behind DNT. Our analytics only collect anonymous, aggregated data that cannot identify you personally and is used solely for improving our services.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
