Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

GetSportJobs (getsportjobs.com) is a job board for the sports industry. GetSportJobs is the “controller” responsible for your personal data under data protection law (“we”, “us”).

For any privacy question or request, email hello@getsportjobs.com with “Privacy request” in the subject line.

2. The short version

• You can browse jobs and apply without giving us any personal data. Applications go straight to the employer, not to us.
• There are no accounts on GetSportJobs: nobody signs up or signs in, and we store no passwords.
• If you join our email list, your email address is kept in our email list at Resend, our email provider, so we can send you job alerts once they launch. If you unsubscribe, we keep the address only marked as unsubscribed, so we don't email you again; ask us and we'll delete it completely.
• If you post a job, the form emails the job and your name and work email to us. We keep that email in our inbox to review, publish and manage your post. Only the job itself is published.
• We don't take payments yet: Featured is free during our founding offer. When paid Featured opens, card payments will be handled by Stripe, and we'll never see or store your full card number.
• We don't use advertising cookies or trackers, we don't sell personal data, and we don't show ads.

3. What we collect and why

3.1 When you visit the site

You don't need an account to browse or apply, and we don't ask job seekers for personal data.

• Server logs. Like any website, our hosting provider, Vercel, processes technical data when your browser requests a page: your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the time, and the referring page. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix problems.
• Analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand which pages are used. It does not use cookies, and it gives us aggregated statistics only, such as page views, referring sites, countries and device types. We can't use it to identify you.
• Performance. We use Vercel Speed Insights to measure how quickly pages load. It doesn't use cookies. It records loading times with the page address and general information such as device type, browser and connection speed, and we see only aggregated results.
• Apply clicks and job submissions. When you click Apply, we may count which job was clicked and when, so we can see how much interest each job gets. When a job is submitted, we count that a submission happened and whether Featured was requested. We don't record who clicked or who submitted.

When you click Apply, you leave GetSportJobs. What you send the employer is governed by the employer's own privacy policy, not this one.

3.2 If you join our email list

We collect your email address. It is kept, with the date you signed up and whether you're subscribed, in our email list at Resend, our email provider. We use it only to send you the job-alert emails you signed up for and, rarely, notice of significant changes to this policy (section 13). Job alerts are launching soon; every alert will have an unsubscribe link, and you can also unsubscribe at any time by emailing us. How long we keep the address is in section 8.

The signup form checks how many signups come from the same IP address, to stop automated abuse. That count is kept in the server's memory for at most 10 minutes and is never stored or sent to Resend.

3.3 If you post a job

There's no employer account: you fill in one form, and it is sent to us by email.

• What the form sends us: everything you enter about the job (title, description, location, employment type, pay, how to apply), your organization's name and website, your name and work email, and whether you asked for Featured.
• How it reaches us: the site passes the submission straight to Resend, which delivers it to our inbox as an email. The site itself doesn't store it: GetSportJobs has no database. We never email you automatically; any reply comes from a person.
• What gets published: if we approve the job, we publish the job itself: title, organization, location, employment type, pay, description and how to apply. If you choose to receive applications by email, that address is shown publicly on the job page. Your name and work email are never published.
• Spam protection: the form has a hidden field and a timing check, and the server counts submissions per IP address for up to an hour, in memory only. Your IP address is not stored and is not included in the email.
• Messages: emails between you and us about your posts.

We use this to review, publish, update and close your job posts, to contact you about them, to prevent fraud and abuse, and to keep business records.

3.4 If you buy a Featured listing

During the founding offer, Featured is free and we collect no payment details. Once paid Featured opens, payments will be processed by Stripe. Stripe collects your card details and billing information directly. We receive confirmation of the payment and limited details such as your name, email address, billing country, the amount, and the card brand and last four digits. We never see or store your full card number. Stripe may also use payment data as an independent controller, for example to prevent fraud and meet legal requirements, under its own privacy policy.

3.5 If you email us

We keep your email address, your message and our reply so we can answer you and keep a record of what was agreed.

3.6 Accounts, resumes and applications from the earlier version of the site

An earlier version of GetSportJobs, built on a different platform, let job seekers and employers create accounts, upload resumes and apply through an on-site form, and offered a resume database to employers. All of that has been discontinued, and the site no longer has accounts. The database behind that earlier version, which holds those accounts, resumes and applications, is being deleted.

If you'd like confirmation that your resume or account data has been deleted, email hello@getsportjobs.com from the address you used on GetSportJobs, with “Resume deletion” in the subject line. We'll confirm in writing.

If you joined our email list on the earlier version, your address was moved to our current email list at Resend (section 3.2). You can unsubscribe at any time.

3.7 Jobs listed from employers' job boards

Most jobs on GetSportJobs come from public job boards that employers publish through their hiring software. Some listings include the name or work contact details of a recruiter or hiring manager, because the employer published them. We show them only as part of the listing and remove them when the job closes or when the employer asks.

4. Our legal bases

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, we rely on these legal bases:

• Consent for our email list. You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing.
• Contract (or steps you ask us to take before one) for job posts and Featured listings: we need the data to review and publish what you asked for.
• Legal obligation for payment and accounting records we must keep by law.
• Legitimate interests for server logs and security, spam protection on our forms, aggregated analytics, apply-click and submission counts, fraud prevention, reviewing posts, answering emails, and listing jobs that employers publish on their public job boards. We've considered these uses and believe they are expected and have minimal impact on you. You can object at any time (see section 9).

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We don't use advertising cookies or cross-site trackers, and there are no sign-in cookies because there are no accounts.

• Analytics and performance: Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights don't set cookies.
• Your job draft: while you fill in the post-job form, your browser keeps the draft, including your name and work email, in this tab's session storage, so a reload doesn't lose it. It stays on your device, it's removed once your job is sent, and it's gone when you close the tab.
• Payments: once paid Featured listings open, Stripe's payment pages will set their own cookies to process payments and prevent fraud. Those are covered by Stripe's cookie policy.

6. Who we share data with

We use these service providers (“processors”) to run GetSportJobs. They may only use personal data on our instructions:

Job submissions and the emails you send us end up in our own mailbox, which is hosted by our email provider. Stripe will be added to this list when paid Featured opens.

We may also disclose personal data if the law requires it, to protect people's safety or our legal rights, or to a buyer or successor if GetSportJobs is sold or reorganized, in which case this policy continues to apply.

We don't sell personal data, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.

7. International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. When personal data from the EEA, UK or Switzerland is transferred to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on safeguards recognized by law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK addendum), or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified under it. You can ask us for more information about these safeguards.

8. How long we keep data

• Email list: while you're subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your address stays on the list marked as unsubscribed, so we don't email you again. Ask us and we'll delete it completely.
• Job submissions: the submission email stays in our mailbox while the post is live and for up to 24 months after it closes (or after we decline it), so we can answer questions and handle disputes. Then we delete it.
• Published jobs: live for 30 days unless closed sooner. The published job text (never your name or work email) also stays in the version history of the site's code.
• Payment records: for as long as accounting and tax law requires.
• Emails with us: up to 24 months after the conversation ends, unless they relate to a payment or dispute.
• Spam-protection counts: in server memory for at most an hour; never stored.
• Server logs: kept by Vercel for a limited period under its log retention settings.
• Analytics: aggregated statistics only; no individual profiles are kept.
• Accounts, resumes and applications from the earlier version of the site: being deleted (see section 3.6).

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy;
• correct data that's wrong or incomplete;
• delete your data;
• restrict how we use your data;
• receive your data in a portable format;
• object to our use of your data based on legitimate interests; and
• withdraw consent at any time (for example, by unsubscribing), without affecting earlier processing.

To use any of these rights, email hello@getsportjobs.com with “Privacy request” in the subject line. We may need to confirm your identity first, usually by asking you to write from the email address we hold. We'll respond within one month.

If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority, such as the authority in the EU or EEA country where you live or work, or the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK.

We don't make decisions about you based solely on automated processing.

10. US state privacy rights

If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law, such as California, you can ask to know, access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing hello@getsportjobs.com. We don't sell personal information, we don't share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we won't treat you differently for using your rights.

11. Security

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and providers with established security programs. Only people who need access to run GetSportJobs have it. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we'll tell you and the relevant authorities about a breach where the law requires.

12. Children

GetSportJobs is not intended for anyone under 16, and we don't knowingly collect personal data from children. If you think a child has given us personal data, email hello@getsportjobs.com and we'll delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

When we change this policy, we'll update the “Last updated” date at the top. If the changes are significant, we'll also say so on the site, and email our email-list subscribers, before they take effect.
