Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2025. This policy explains what personal data JobLyst collects, why, and your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Data Controller
The data controller is Paulo Teixeira, operating JobLyst at hello@joblyst.tech. For any data-related request, contact us at that address.
2. What We Collect and Why
Unauthenticated visitors
We collect no personal data from visitors who do not sign in. Analytics data (page views, referrers) is collected only with your consent — see the Cookie Policy section below.
Authenticated users
When you create an account and build a profile, we store:
- Email address (used to send magic-link sign-ins and daily/weekly digest emails)
- Candidate profile: role category, subcategories, seniority level, skills, work preferences (remote, English-only, salary floor)
- Job alerts: category filters, frequency, keywords you set
- Followed companies and notification preferences
- MCP API key (if you generate one for AI integrations)
- Activity timestamps: when you last viewed matches, when you last received a digest
CV upload (optional)
If you upload a CV, the file content is sent to Google Gemini to extract your profile (role, skills, seniority). The file itself is not stored — only the extracted structured data is saved to your profile.
3. Legal Basis
- Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — processing your profile, alerts, and digest emails to provide the personalised job matching service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — aggregating publicly available job listings from company career pages.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — analytics cookies and feedback widget, loaded only after you accept.
