Who we are

The Job Comeback is a job hunting community based in London and online. For this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” means The Job Comeback. If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact Joe at hello@thejobcomeback.com.

What we collect

We may collect your name, email address, message content, event RSVP details, information you submit through forms, and basic website analytics such as pages viewed, device type and approximate location. If you join the WhatsApp group, WhatsApp may show your profile name, phone number and messages to other group members according to your own WhatsApp settings.

How we use it

We use personal information to run meetups, reply to messages, manage event sign-ups, keep the community safe, improve the website, and send updates only where you have asked for them or where it is reasonable for us to do so in connection with the community.

Our GDPR lawful bases

Depending on the context, we rely on consent, legitimate interests, contract, or legal obligation. For example, we use consent where you opt into updates, legitimate interests to respond to enquiries and run a low-friction community, contract where you sign up to attend an event, and legal obligation where we must keep records.

Eventbrite, WhatsApp and third parties

Some parts of the community use third-party services such as Eventbrite, WhatsApp, email providers, website hosting and analytics tools. Those services process data under their own privacy policies. We only share information where it is needed to run the community, provide the site, comply with law, or protect people using the service.

How long we keep data

We keep personal information only for as long as it is useful for the reason it was collected, unless we need to keep it longer for legal, safety or record-keeping reasons. You can ask us to delete your information at any time, subject to anything we are required to keep.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or transfer your personal information. You can also object to some processing and withdraw consent where we rely on consent. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you are unhappy with how we handle your data.

Cookies and analytics

The website may use essential cookies and privacy-conscious analytics to understand how people use the site. Where a cookie requires consent, we will ask for it before setting it.

Security and international transfers

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information. Some third-party services may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where that happens, those providers are responsible for using appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections.

Children

The Job Comeback is not aimed at children. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the date at the top showing when it was last updated.
