1. Why We Use Advertising

Advertising allows us to:

  • Keep the platform free for job seekers and employers

  • Provide tailored content and improve your experience

We use both contextual ads (based on app content) and personalized ads (based on general behavior or preferences, where allowed).

  • Device type, version, and operating system
  • IP address and general location (country/region)

  • Advertising identifiers (e.g., Google Advertising ID / IDFA)

These partners use the data to:

  • Display relevant ads

We do not share personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers with advertisers.
